Do you own any of these designer bags? There's no doubt we have luxury ROYALTY featured in this video, but sadly these styles of bags are a victim of their own success as the fake and replica market have made so many counterfeit versions of them. If you do love any of these bags (and quite rightly so), try to get limited edition versions of them to avoid seeing a wave of fakes out and about. Let me know what you think to this topic in the comments!

Have you seen many fakes and replicas of these designer bags? I've seen MANY and sadly, they've kind of ruined these bags for me. What do you think?
Join Me On Instagram 👉 instagram.com/handbag_holic/
It's illegal in Sweden but as soon as I go abroad I see some. But I know my bags aren't dupes so I'm not that bothered.
Hey there, Steph. I wouldn’t knowingly buy a fake handbag and pass it off as genuine. There are some styles like the Kelly Bag that I really love and I have considered getting a handbag that was reminiscent of or has a similar silhouette. I see people who use dupes of popular and more expensive brands of makeup and perfumes that are marketed as dupes. I’m really confused now about whether I should consider a lookalike handbag that is obviously a dupe or is in the style of my favorites. What to do?
Live and let live.
Only louis vuittons and Christian Dior book totes which I don't like anyway. It doesn't bother me at all though tbh although it put me off buying any LV as I presume all LV are fake now even the real ones 😂
The market behind fake bags etc are sextrafficing, drugs, smuggling so it's a total no for me. So please think twice before you buy any of these things it's massive cartels behind it.
It would be super silly of me to be bothered by someone having a fake bag.
Since counterfeit goods fund human trafficking, child labor, extortion, illegal drugs, etc. one would think it would be only logical to be concerned about counterfeit goods. There's a reason why they are illegal in most parts of the world.
@@mrskaa7584 They're illegal because they make billionaires potentially lose out on sales, not because of human rights abuses.
It's "copyright infringement", not "Oh no, these poor workers are being exploited, how terrible."
Hope you also never buy fast fashion like Shein, H&M, Asos, etc., otherwise big **oof** to your double standards.
@@mrskaa7584 But Dior was just busted for using factories with undocumented workers, paying lower wages, and violating safety measures!
The fact these bags can be faked and sold at a fraction of the price just shows how much the luxury brands are ripping people off. Yes quality and materials might not be the same but some dupes are pretty good. I’ve wasted so much money on designer bags and, as a 50 year old, could have bought another house or a luxury car with what I’ve spent. My advice is to only buy if you can afford it plus other important things and don’t necessarily turn your nose up at a dupe!
I’m very curious to know what luxury piece that you have is your absolute favorite? I love knowing peoples go-to’s, especially if they’ve been a collector for a while. Gives me an idea of what to stay away from and what to look into :)
@@pinkfeet518 I don’t think it is that universal. My mother wears her Versace bag from the 90s, but on most people it would look absolutely insane.
@@Commentator541 I like a lot of Versaces new stuff! I guess I meant it in wanting to know peoples tried and true bags. I def own some things myself that I will say, yes it’s kind of weird and a little ugly but that’s why it’s cool haha
Very well said!
Nice! It is like buying a diamond when you can buy lab grown which looks same, chemically and optically same 😁
Who cares what someone has or doesn’t have. It doesn’t make you any better than anybody else. Real or fake. It’s nobody’s business unless you’re paying their bills. I think some people are just butt hurt by the fact that they spent $5,000 on a handbag and anyone can get one that looks identical for a few hundred bucks or less. Stop worrying about stuff that doesn’t matter.
Angela at no point did I or anyone else say anyone is better or not for having authentic. The biggest issue with replicas is the unknown labour,and criminal acts such as gangs and trafficking that they fund.
@@Handbagholic that’s just the impression I got. After all the title of your video was bags that have been ruined for you because of fakes and replicas…
@@Handbagholiclol trafficking… that’s what the brands are making you think. But sure better to make billionaires even richer and keep the child factories running. It’s all the same shit
@@HandbagholicBut Dior is guilty by proxy for using factories that use undocumented workers, lack safety measures, and paying wages that are illegal. How is that different?
I have a special edition Neverfull and it actually has the opposite effect-people assume it’s a fake because it doesn’t look like the standard version!!
Oh that’s interesting! I guess you’re right unless it’s a bag fan who knows the collections.
Exactly that's why I'm always wary of limited editions because many times once the collection has passed and nobody remembers it, it has more chances of looking fake
I agree!!
So true
Yes I have a purse limited edition and my older son to be me once of it was fake
I knew the never full would be on the list. What a shame, I can’t even tell fakes anymore, there so good.
Yes some are very good these days aren't they
Same. I knew that one was going to be on this list. In fact whenever I see them I just assume it's fake now. Which is sad. I suppose
😂 sounds like folks have figured out how to keep their money for themselves instead of making rich folks richer just for selling the same item through a boutique. Smart 🤔. Now that’s freedom
I have never been concerned about if others have fakes and replicas, unless they are trying to pass them off as real to sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that horrible as they push brands to be innovative (the classic monogram print was created in part to fight off counterfeiting) which benefits us as design lovers.
I guess I can understand folks not wanting the same bag as others, but if it’s a good handbag it would make sense that more people would want it, authentic or not
I’m just surprised at how bothered you seem on whether or not people decide to carry fake bags or not like who cares what they spend they’re money on!!
I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *esluxs* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying
A bag shape is not copyrightable, only the logos and certain techniques. It's not a problem to sell a similar shape as long as you are not trying to sell it are an original, which is then actual counterfeiting. I, however, will buy and wear what I like with no regard to what other people are wearing.
A lot of celebrities but fake bags 💼
So Companies like Balenciaga would add a heel to croc or Loewe with broken egg heels, or chanel having a “trash bag” as a handbag… Many of this high end companies are charging outrageous amount of money for what?? Unoriginal ideas and why even care if someone carries a rep/dupe… Geez
Dior replicated a supermarket shopping bag in making the book tote…honestly in NZ the local supermarket makes shopping bags that are more durable and just as pretty!
the tote bags always remind me of supermarket bags 😂
@@brontedealy9529 😅
The *esluxs* one looks better. And it looks authentic enough, and spares you the 1000 dollars.
So, I can’t even tell the fakes anymore 😬 Is it just the fact we are seeing more of the bags around that we assume they’re fakes? Some are obvious….but not all! Especially lately 😟
Agree the 'super fakes' just seem to be getting better and better
And the fact that the quality of the leather is mostly far better than the real bags (I.e. current Chanel CF).
If you can wear high quality *esluxs* for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.
I really don’t care about people using fakes… if I like it, I buy it. I don’t care if someone else is wearing the same thing and just paid 10% of the real price. Im not that bimbo 😂 thinking that people fakes will have any effect on me! 😂 my only concern is buying prelove and buying a superfake thinking is real and paying 2k to 15k for a fake.ñ, but other that than… I really don’t care… You do you boo! 😂
This subject has me torn, part of me understands why a fake could be good for some people who wouldnt ever be able to afford a real bag so fake it till you make it kind of thing an fair play to people who dont care an go out without a care in the world they have a fake… however the only gripe i have personally is when its a bad fake, for example when the LV monogram print isnt symmetrical or when the channel logo is wonky.. i feel almost pained by it lol.
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having fakes, it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc. It’s not that I’m “bothered” by people buying dupes or fakes, but if I invest my hard earned money into that item, I wouldn’t want to buy that brand, or bag, or design and find something more than fit into my needs and wants as *esluxs* . And nothing is wrong with that.
Gosh I see soooo many fake and dupes of the Marc Jacobs the tote bag here now! Either they have the straight up fake or a dupe that just says “the tote bag” without the “marc jacobs” name under the logo! I don’t necessarily mind fakes or dupes as long as I’m not looking to buy a bag and someone is trying to pass off a fake as the real thing. That’s what pisses me off the most and you can’t really trust resellers anymore.
Reading the comments and I truly find some people a bit jealous of these *esluxs* . I mean if you work hard, you deserve to treat yourself. And I truly find this video to be helpful. Yeah I get not everybody can afford one of these bags but, wouldn't one prefer to learn about others experience with the bag then waste their money on a purse. Like thanks to other youtubers reviews on a bag, I got one and I'm truly happy with mine. & thanks to you Diana, I showed my sister this video and she's now convinced to get the Louis Vuitton bag that she's wanted for so long! Love this kind of videos!!
Meh… I’m my own person, if I like it, I’ll get it. Worrying about what others are doing has never been my style.
Cool girl I love it!
Thanks for the video. I will say that fakes have been around for yeaaarrrrssss. I think it’s just brought to light now because of social media. I’ve seen LV and Chanel fakes and know how to get them if I wanted (Asian community) since like the 1990s. So it’s nothing new at all. If it seems a lot maybe people are just more aware with educational videos on authentic vs fake versus before. I wouldn’t let fakes and replicas change my mind on purchasing a bag or not. If I like it, I will buy it. And the fakes are never the same as the real ones. If people can’t afford it and are happy with replicas, to each their own. My favorite bag is the classic flap. Next is the Kelly, then birkin. I know many Filipino aunties that have replicas to all. And it doesn’t change my mind on them. If you look at the Asian community NEARLY EVERY LUXURY BRAND bag has fakes, including business affinity and trendy cc
Me too… I could care less what other people do with their money… If I like it… I’m getting it…
Great personality. Great video. Looking at bag Oh no the bag is too light. My purses are too heavy after i put what i need in that I leave stuff I need at home. Maybe I am weak. Light weight sounds really really good for me hahabut maybe without structure it would just fall apart on me. so thank you! I have more to think about now in terms of weight and structur *esluxs*
I am surprised you didn't include Goyard St Louis tote bag. I see them eeeverywhere!! every uncle, aunties and cousins are wearing them!!🙄
Hi there, does your company ship to customers in the USA? I emailed your company regarding for a birkin and was told to contact the location in Dubai for *esluxs* ?
This is why I have gone for the seasonal bags of iconic ones like the Speedy. Great Video
Exactly, at least you’re much less likely to see them around. The seasonal speedy bags are also some of the best!
Ooo can you do a video on the least popular handbags? Or less replicated? (If that’s even possible) 😂
Yes will do something like this soon thanks for sharing
I don't mind others wearing or using replicas or dupes as long as mine is authentic. I am happy with my authentic bag, and if some are happy with their fakes, I am happy for them.
Great content! I enjoyed watching this. You forgot the LV Alma bb. omg! the bent bottom/ oval shaped bottom is the first thing I notice. I see a lot of them around
I don’t see a problem with inspired bags not everyone has the resources to spend money on bags and wouldn’t call them fakes unless they put a logo and are actually trying to pass it as being a brand. I would buy a inspire bag but not a fake logo it feels to weird.
Totally with you.
However being me as someone who buys inspired on bags If I ever bought a luxury bag I’d try to go to buy something I can’t find easily in the contemporary brands market.
For example I’d feel stupid to buy the classic flap when I could get the Tory Burch Keira bag or another nice quilted leather bag. Or the never full I’d feel 2,000 on a style that could for two 200 from Michael Kors.
If I ever bought luxury designer I’d make myself sure that’s something I can’t find something similar for less.
The classic flap is one of my dream bags but honestly I can’t see myself like choosing that one now that I have a Purficacion García which looks a lot like the classic flap.
Funny story: My dad lives in Turkey. With exchange rates being so favorable to the US dollar, I had asked my dad to research YSL prices for me in Istanbul…thinking I could get more for my $. Long story short, he did, but ends up telling me that my cousin can get me a great fake. I told him I don’t want the fake, I want the real thing!!! He’s a big I-phone guy and buys his new phone in the states every couple of years when he visits, so I so badly wanted to ask him if he would be satisfied with a knock off I-phone. 😂😂😂
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxs* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
You look so comfy .Also, I really loved your older video guide to shopping in NYC - it'd be great if you continued that series for other places.for example, I'm on the outskirts of London but I'm new to *esluxs* shopping so I don't know where I'm going and for what things I am shopping in my own city.
Hey! Steph your vlogs are too too amazing and I love your vlogs so so much you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 50K Subscribers very very soon!✨❤️☺️
Thank you so much Mansoor!
I agree with every single point and bag!!! Loved this video 👍🏼
Hey Steph, what do you think of the new Fendi baguette? Thinking about getting the new one in black leather
Hey! Yes they’re nice I like the smaller size one. Let me know if you decide to go for it
Omg! This copper top suits you so perfectly. My compliments 🎉
I’m actually surprised the prada re-edition didn’t make the list, the one that comes as a convertible cross body is definitely one I see everyday
What size is your bag? Looking for this in a medium, but don’t see on website
Do you have a link for the limited edition Dior tote? I can't find it. Don't know if it's because it's gone for the season.
You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *topluxs* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.
I wanted a YSL Kate and found a brand new one at a luxury consignment shop at a great price. I don't regret it. Could always sell it if I don't want it anymore, like I did the camera bag.
Thank you for the Lilly Bean recommendation 💖
Welcome. Cute aren’t they
Great list. I would add the Hermes evelyne, to the point where I can't even look at it anymore.
This is definitely about where I like the floral print Vuitton and would want to work out until no one says I look pouchetty in the middle and hang a mattise in my living room
Nothing we can do about fakes…I could care less how many people have the same bag as myself…that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they don’t want a certain purse because everyone has it….well everyone has a @$$ hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their bags for example their style, your style will set you apart
Omg I'm dying. I must trade in my @$$hole for the newest model.
@@angelgirl976 LOL!!
I'm just finding my personal style and I agree with you style really does set you apart. I'm sure there are people out there with fakes I've presumed are real because they are dressed well or cool or just put together and people with real bags I've presumed are fake because they're unkempt or wearing clothes they've not ironed etc.
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxs* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
I have inspired bag by Dior Book Tote - my bag is from H&M 😅 so useful!😅 also I sold LV Favourite because where I live - here are so many replicated LV favourites… everyday I see them minimum 5 times
Great video Steph- I’m definitely with you on the limited edition styles purely because they are unique, but now that you’ve set out they are less likely to be faked or duped - I’m even more drawn to them.
hi, what LV bag is the purple one behind you ? it's beautiful !
Thanks! It was the limited edition OnTheGo mini from spring in the city collection
Hi .I m from India and looking for some pre owned bags in gud condition.Can you please help me with the site where I can check.please
Thanks for the recommendation, my sister and I want to try and buy
I actually want the chanel trendy and was wait listed and never contacted after waiting for months so it left a bad taste in my mouth because of their terrible customer service. Anyway long story short my sister in law loves her dupes and she got her hands on a fake trendy and it's almost identical! These private sellers are getting too good.
What is meant by private sellers? I keep seeing this.
Stephanie the rust color blouse is amazing on you 😍 🎉
Oh thank you!
Never full always copied because its really nice and usefull
yes it's copied alot due to it being a good tote
I loved this video and agree with all of them.
You mentioned something that it’s a big deal which with some of these bags you can find a dupe ( not knock off ) for way less and would make us feel stupid spending thousands.
The classic flap. I have three dupes which I love and wear often
One from a Spanish Brand called Purificación García
One from Kurt Geiger
One from The Kate Spade outlet.
The never full is another bag you can easily find something super similar from Michael Kors, or Tory Burch.
So if ever bought a high end Designer bag I’d go with something I won’t find for less, again I don’t mean knock off. I mean super legal dupes. If it’s a bag I love but feel like I can get similar from a high street brand or contemporary brand I wouldn’t get that designer bag I’d buy the dupe.
Which would you say is the best dupe? I'm not spending money on current chanel because of the quality issues! I'm searching for a 90s classic flap medium second hand atm 😭
@@harrietrredfern well if you live in Europe or LatinAmerica I’d suggest the most the purificación García but in the states I think I’d go for the Kate Spade Outlet Natalia.
@@sarizonana thankyou sooo much, I'm in the UK so will check them out 😊
@@harrietrredfern I hope you find the Purificación bag. It’s a really beautiful bag on a very fair price. Now sadly in Mexico we don’t have aspinal of London but I’ve heard great things about the Lottie bag from that brand.
So you might want to check the Aspinal of London bag which is a fantastic dupe
Now the Kurt Geiger Kensington Is a really nice bag but it’s not that Chanel esque. The Kurt Geiger is more of a mix between the Bvlgari Serpenti and the Gucci marmont. But it has a few Chanelsque vibe.
Give it a try to the Kurt Geiger. Another one with a pretty good price point.
@@sarizonana thankyou so much Sara you're a star! I need a new work bag 😊
I looked at the bottega cassette and love lattice- maybe next year’s Pantone
I'm sad but kinda agree with the Bottega :( I have one cassette unpadded too but there are so many dupes out there
Yes Greece has the Dior tote everywhere it was insane
I’ve seen a lot of fake LV and CD tote bags in New York City, particularly in the evening. As a tourist, it is very funny to see how popular the bags are. Even in London, UK, they have a lot of imitation of Gucci bags and scarves. I won’t associate those bags with mine. But for those who couldn’t afford the luxury bags, why bother they use fakes. Although it is not right that copyright was infringed.
BTW, people don’t know that my LV key pouch is fake. I bought it from an old lady in New York City China Town.
I like your new set-up.
Thank you
Me on the same boat. I have seen so many pochette Metis, neverfull and the monogram speedy (mostly flatten) every where!
That's why I chose the Speedy with Empriente leather and also Odeon which I have not seen any fakes so far. Thanks for the video. I was having the same thoughts too about Dior book tote and Gucci marmont bags. Luckily I didn't make a purchase.
I don’t care who has what. I don’t buy the bag the flex. Someone else having a good fake just means they have good taste, but have not saved enough to buy a real one or know there is more important things, like rent lol. Someday that will earn enough to buy a real one and it will enjoy that bag too!
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t tell if I see a fake lol. How can you? Especially if you are just walking by a stranger and not inspecting up close…
Nice top. I love the color on you .
Thank you!
Fakes and dupes bother people who buy the bags specifically as status symbols. Meanwhile, people who like the style but don’t want to, what seems like overspending, pay for a brand name, will get a dupe or similar product.
I fell in love with an Etsy store (Virsa bags) and bought a ton of their bags. A lot that look like the classic flap and they are leather, they don’t try to pass them off as Chanel and don’t have CC logos so I don’t mind that. I really don’t like the fake ones that are attempting to mislead.
I don't mind if other people wear fake bags. I just love the authentic bags of mine for my own satisfaction and happiness. And if you really know the bag, you can tell what is fake and what is authentic. I own an Hermes Kelly bag and a Chanel Deauville tote bag, but I think they are so beautiful and I just love them so much.
But to be honest, I have been wearing my Louis Vuitton monogram Neverfull for about ten years, and I am really bored of it now. The fact that there are many fakes going around turns me off even more. I have really fallen out of love with LV monogram canvas bags.
Why would anyone buy a fake bag? I'd rather have no bag than be caught dead with fake. Also, it is a living hell for the workers and the animals that are treated brutally. Why would you be a part of that? I don't think that replicas have ruined the originas. I have several CHANEL bags, including a jumbo classic flap and it takes my breath away every time I take it out of it's box.
Really, 🤔 let the truth be told, any luxury good to include handags can be found outside of the authentic maker. Who cares what the next person decided to spend their money on, or the next person decided not to spend their money on. Because I see the person in line in front of me carrying a fake bag of a style/brand that I love doesn’t stop me from purchasing the authentic bag, if I wanted it.
My opinion, I think that's petty and insecure. Fakes have been around since Coach and Dooney bags was considered high price (for some people) back in the day. Who cares if the next person has decided to not spend their money on authentic luxury goods.
And who is to say they can't afford it. It could just be a personal financial decision. I know people who are very wealthy and could care less about spending their money on over priced luxury goods. They are not people pleasers and buy what they like and cares less about what 😅 you and I think. I ain't mad at them or you!!! 😂🎉
This is where the Dior is replicated by fashion houses everywhere! Maybe more original graphic designers like at the AIGA can work for houses
I honestly don’t care if someone has the same bag as I do, or how many people have it. Also if companies want to make dupes or replicas fine by me. I only care about my bag collection.
I don't mind dupes because they are not blatantly ripping off the real thing. I hate fakes because they are trying to be something that they are not. I like Hermes, the bags are very nice. But I have gotten off the Birkin train--for me, it's just ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a bag.
So so agree with you.
Now with dupes I end up having another issue which makes wonder why will I spend let’s say 4 thousands on bag that I can find something similar in the 1-300 range price. ?
I do love Chanel Classic flap but I wouldn’t buy it knowing I can find something pretty similar from Kate Spade for way less. I have a Kate Spade Natalia from the outlet which gives me totally the vibes of the classic flap.
Ive been avoiding these bags, no one would believe we own the authentic piece…i know this is a luxury channel but ive been feeling that the hype over these designer bags is over… great video steph ❤️
It doesn't matter what people believe, if you love the bag go for it and buy it. Your style is what sets you apart.
I'm the center of my universe so if someone is carrying a fake version of any of my designer bags. I don't care. I have the real deal. That's all that matters! LOL!
I’m not into knockoffs, sure much better pricing but quality is the reason for buying luxury in my personal opinion 🤷🏽♀️
Have you seen the reviews on the authentic Chanel 22 bag? Cheap bonded leather and they’re falling apart after a couple wears. Luxury is no longer synonymous with high quality, unfortunately 😢
I can agree to this, nearly nothing is made like it used to be….however, I will still not buy knockoffs 😂
Now adays, fake boutique qualitynmuch better than original. U will surprise
Great Video 👍🏻 I think The LV Speedy is another bag that has been easily copied
Yes the speedy has been copied a lot too you’re right
Gucci at Chateau Marmont. I think I’ll try another model. But definitely that
When I Was first "getting into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a Fucci Marmont. I wasn't trying to show off, or brag, or pass it off as the real thing, I just wanted to see if it would fit what I wanted it to and how it would live with me (without the SA staring at you) before I shelled out the money for the real thing. As it turns out, it wasn't for me. Saved myself a good chunk of change and time returning it.
I have that same LV Neverfull, love it! It’s authentic😊
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having fakes, it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc. It’s not that I’m “bothered” by people buying dupes or fakes, but if I invest my hard earned money into that item, I wouldn’t want to buy that brand, or bag, or design and find something more than fit into my needs and wants as luxury. And nothing is wrong with that
I had no idea the LV came in prints
spot on
who care for others let them buy fake as long as I have my LV and chanel bag the original and I like them and enjoyed to using
That is why I love my limited editions they are an investment.
I just can't bring myself to buy a dupe where the design is identical from a distance. I would love to own a mini Kelly but that is never going to happen. I looked at the Lily and Bean bag and just can't bring myself to buy it because even though the bag isn't a fake, it looks identical on the outside (and that's all people are going to see). Therefore I'm looking to buy a bag from Lalage Beaumont because there's enough difference that it won't be mistaken for a Hermes whilst having the same aesthetic.
Fake bags are everywhere geeeee😮😮😮
I agree with the bag list
Girl let people purchase what they want. Nothing wrong with a dupe
nice video
Fakes are bad, of course, when they try to pass something off as a real one (also illegal.) Design-inspired doesn't bother me, as I see other designers taking cues from the luxury brands but always with their own twist to them. Dupes which use the required number of differences but sell cheaply are annoying (and often have a terrible odor because they haven't been processed correctly; I also ran into the odor problem with a new brand which manufactures their leather in another country, I had to finally throw the bag away, lesson learned) and I'd rather have a real bag from any designer, top-tier luxury or not.
I would add Gucci Dionysus to this list. I’ve seen plenty of fakes everywhere. Such a pity because I really like this style, but would never buy it, just because of that. It doesn’t have a brand logo which makes it a good target for fakes, and it’s really popular too.
Anything can be replicated .
I won't buy fakes of brands I love.....burberry.....but would in brand's I like but I'm not passionate about. It would make me hurt inside to get fake burberry brit 😢 I absolutely adore that brand.
I have been put off buying a Neverfall for that very reason. It seems every second person has them
Hey Steph I am a subscriber
Thanks Jeanette!
I just back from mexico 🇲🇽 and i saw few lV neverfull and Prada fakes handbags but was funny Prada their change the name to Padre (means father) in Spanish….
😂
Even they selling fakes ones there not a lot of people can’t afford in mexico,,
but I don’t like to supporting fakes ones, I prefer working and saving to buy an authentic hand bag ❤
I have real bags that you mentioned in this video and I honestly do not care about others who buy fake or real that’s not my business!!
I bought a neverfull and just feel horrible carrying it cause of all the replicas. You can tell the fake, they don't look the same or meet the carry test.
I have a special edition Neverfull and it has black handles. My Pochette Métis is in a beautiful red color empreinte leather. I have never seen anyone else carrying my variation of these bags where I live. I see a lot of people carry the Neverfull in monogram print (fake)
Not sure why ur assuming ladies in dubai are holding fake bags , people in dubai are rich and can easily afford these luxury brands as u call them. Ur not the only rich here
Please tell me at what point I ever suggested this because I never would and never did.
Well I've never seen a birken or chanel bag at wall Mart but you can spot lots of Louis Vuitton and Gucci's in the aisle.😂
What other people spend their money on is none of my personal business. I'm not calling out the fake bag police any time soon.
High quality bags have a warranty that dupes don't . People who buys fake bags can't afford the real thing but loves the designer things I don't bother their money, their decission .
But Bottega bags are so hard to replicate, if you know how the tension of each weave of a bv bag is/ or even not, the replicas still looks weird and cheap.
I'd never buy a fake but it puts me off buying on Depop etc x
Fake bags don't bother me but they do have an impact on me. For example the Kelly inspired bags are everywhere in the shopping malls, they are like Kelly uniforms. It definitely drives me away from the real Kelly or any Kelly inspired bags. It's a huge no buy to me.
You can say they ruined Hermes Kelly, at least I did feel my impression about Kelly has been ruined. I would agree that is accurate with me.
Now there is dupes on Lily and Berns handbags too
