Designer Bags Real or Fake
When used to describe a person, the word “fake” is not considered a compliment. Nobody likes a phony person, but things are different when it comes to designer handbags. In the fashion world, fakes of this sort are in high demand. They are called “replicas” or “knock-offs”, and there is a reason for their popularity.
Although cheap designer handbags can be found, most great designer bags are expensive, and replicas create a similar look for a fraction of the price. Although they have similar features, designs, marks, and stamps to the famous brands, they are not necessarily the same quality. In this case, details, such as hardware, stitching, lining, and material are often the first things to fall through the cracks. For example, authentic Fendi bags can be identified by their even stitching and matching thread color. Because they are often not well-made, many consumers think of fake handbags as throwaway items. Nevertheless, people buy them for their practicality, reasonable price, and easy availability. For fickle or temporary trends, fakes may not be a bad idea since they allow fashion-conscious owners to keep up with current fads.
Some people may wonder why a buyer would not want the real McCoy in the first place.  Fakes are desirable because the originals are very expensive. An authentic status handbag usually costs several thousand dollars. Even if women can afford it, not many of them want to fork over hard-earned money just to have the latest look. For this trade-off, they sacrifice the pride of owning authentic handbags that last for years and may even become family heirlooms. For resale or sentimental value, nothing beats the original.
The most important factor to consider when deciding whether to go for the replica or the authentic piece is knowing exactly what is being bought. As dishonest as it may be, some people are duped into buying knock-off bags while thinking they are getting the real thing. Companies are getting better at producing look-alike replicas, and illegitimate craftsmanship has become more difficult to detect. Holograms, marks of authenticity, and even documentation are all being simulated so closely that only a discerning eye can determine the difference.
There are pros and cons for both originals and fakes. Shoppers need to be well-informed and not easily swayed by trends, advertisements, and celebrities. Expressing individual taste by choosing a handbag that suits her budget and style will make any woman’s choice a timeless classic.
