My friend, you won’t believe this but the other day I saw a fake Supreme bag! I was walking in the mall when I saw a man carrying a bag that looked identical to the ones I had seen in the Supreme catalog. At first, I was blown away by how cool it looked—same slick design, same high quality materials. But then I thought to myself, why was this guy paying so much less than the authentic bags advertised in the catalog?
Turns out he paid a fraction of the amount, and it was a fake! Right away I was filled with doubt and started imagining all sorts of scenarios—what if the bag he had was actually a knockoff and not authentic? I ended up getting close enough to inspect it and sure enough, there were a few differences I could easily spot. He didn’t even realize it!
Damn, those fakers are getting good at fooling us! Generally, when it comes to these kinds of goods, I always opt for the real deal. They tend to be a tad bit more expensive, but you know what they say…you get what you pay for.
Aside from being duped out of money, which is what happens when you get fooled into thinking you’re getting an authentic product, what’s worse is that part of what makes owning something like a Supreme bag so special is that it’s (usually) exclusive and special. People know you have it, they can appreciate it, and you can flex it in all of its glory. But not with a fake bag. It might look legit, and it might have fooled some people, but when others know it is a knockoff, it instantly lessens its value.
So, if you’re like me and you’ve ever been tempted to buy a knockoff bag just to save some money, let this story be a cautionary tale of what can happen when you fall for the bait. In most cases it’s not worth the risk.
I figured out the key to avoiding getting duped by a fake Supreme bag is to pay close attention to details. Most people won’t notice, but that one look almost led to me getting scammed. Before you buy any Supreme bag, especially a used one, double check the stitching on the outside and the logo on the inside. Look for any visible discrepancies with other Supreme bags, because most of the knockoffs I’ve seen have minor flaws that could easily be overlooked.
Also, if the deal seems too good to be true then it probably is. If someone is selling an authentic Supreme bag for an insanely low price, it’s a no-brainer—the seller is likely trying to dupe someone. Most of the time, authentic Supreme bags go for close to the Recommended Retail Price and a bit more.
Even then, if you suspect something is off, ask for proof of authenticity. This will give you the confidence you need when making a big purchase like this. There’s nothing worse than finding out after you’ve already used the bag that it’s a fake. Trust me, it’s happened to some of my friends.
The same also goes for counterfeit designer clothes, so be careful when you’re shopping. Quality is often very important, if not more, than style. And if you want to be safe, only buy from the official website or authorized sellers.
