It happened to me last week; I was in the mall looking for a new dress to wear to a friend’s birthday celebration and stumbled across an entire aisle filled with fake Supreme Bag SS18 bags! To be honest, I was really appalled, since that’s such an expensive and iconic brand.
My heart sank as I saw these seemingly genuine bags at a fraction of the price I was expecting to spend. I noticed several other shoppers also being tempted by these knockoff products too; these bags were undeniably attractive and at first glance, I couldn’t tell the difference.
At this point, I felt like I was experiencing the old ‘quality-over-quantity’ dilemma. After taking a closer look at the bags, I quickly spotted differences in fabric, logo and seam quality. There were even some subtle differences in the colour, such as the green having a slight shade of yellow and the black having murky undertones. In addition, the price also gave it away.
I decided to be more sensible with my money and opted for a high-quality product rather than a cheaper version of it. I kept reminding myself that you get what you pay for. After talking it over with my friend, she agreed and suggested searching online for authentic Supreme Bag SS18 products so I could check out the real deal and stay away from imposters.
So, I did the necessary research and spent some time browsing products, eventually settling on a genuine Supreme Bag SS18 bag, along with a few other accessories I needed. I was just so happy that I didn’t fall for the traps of those retail outlets in the mall, that were trying to pass off sub-par knockoffs of this iconic range.
My overall experience taught me a valuable lesson – no matter how tempting a deal may seem, it’s always worth investing in quality products. Instead of risking the disappointment of a bad purchase, I’d much rather save a little extra money and buy an original item. Labels and logos are not be taken lightly, and it’s important to remain vigilant and aware when it comes to counterfeits.
Now if I’m ever in doubt or deliberating between two products, I simply remember the words “trust in quality”. That seems to help me make up my mind quickly and ensures that I’m getting the best out of the money I have saved.
To be extra safe, I always make sure to compare prices with other sellers. That way, I can check if the products I’m about to purchase are truly genuine. Additionally, it’s important to verify the accuracy of a product’s description and study its features, to make sure it matches the original.
Since then, my friends have also followed my example and instead of being fooled by fakes, they are now spending their money on actual designer pieces which, let’s face it, is simply much more satisfying!
