My initial reaction was disbelief. How could this be? I mean, these bags looked exactly like the real thing. But I had to admit, I was kind of intrigued, so I decided to buy it. After all, it was a fraction of the price of the original!
The following day, I used the fake speedy bag on my way to work. To my surprise, no one questioned my bag at all! It was like it was totally legitimate. Everyone gave me some major street style props, and I felt like I was on top of the world!
As I continued to use the bag, I started to notice some differences between it and the original. The zippers were slightly more flimsy, the material wasn’t quite as sturdy, and the craftsmanship wasn’t as precise. Even still, I must say that the quality was pretty good for a knockoff! Plus, it was good enough to fool my fashionista friends when I hung out with them.
I must admit, that fake speedy bag was doing its job. I felt like I was getting an amazing deal, and I felt like a total stylista. I know knock offs have a bad reputation, but sometimes fake is actually good when it comes to fashion and accessories. Plus, it was a great confidence boost, so I doubt that I’ll ever spend the full price of the original!
Still, it was nice to feel like a legit fashionista for a while. To be honest, I didn’t think a fake speedy bag would do the trick, but it sure did! I must say, this experience really made me think twice about giving up on something I wanted just because of its cost. As long as I can find a way to get it at a fraction of the price, I’m in!
From this experience I learned that sometimes it pays to take a chance on a deal that looks too good to be true. You never know what you’ll get in the end. And even if it’s not the real thing, sometimes fake is the way to go!
