The Pros & Cons of Buying Fake Bags

Free photo close up on kitted bags still lifeI love purses, but I never realized how expensive they were until a friend of mine showed me her new one.​ “It was so expensive,” she told me, and I immediately began to wonder if there was an alternative.​ That’s how I found out about fake bags.​ They look almost as good as the real thing, but far more affordable.​

I started doing some research about the pros and cons of buying fake bags.​ To my surprise, there were quite a few positive aspects to it.​ For one thing, having a fake bag allows you to keep up with the latest trends without breaking the bank.​ And for those of us who like to switch up our style often, having a lower-priced alternative makes that possible.​

Another pro to buying fake bags is that you won’t have to worry about theft or loss.​ Let’s face it, no matter how careful we are with our things, accidents can and will happen.​ Which is why it’s nice to have a less expensive option to replace the bag if necessary.​

At first glance, it may seem like buying fake bags would be a win- win situation all the way around, however, there are also quite a few downsides to it as well.​

For starters, even though you may be able to afford a fake bag more easily, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to last any longer than the real thing.​ As a matter of fact, often times the quality of fake bags can be very low and they can break or fall apart fairly quickly.​

Another con to buying fake bags is that you’re not really supporting the work of the designer who created the original piece.​ This can be an issue for those of us who value the creativity and craftsmanship that went into making the item in the first place.​

The environmental cost of fake bags is also worth mentioning.​ Many of the materials used to make them are synthetic and therefore not biodegradable or eco-friendly.​ This means that these bags don’t just take up space in our closets, but also in landfills and our oceans.​

Finally, it’s important to point out that buying fake bags is technically illegal in many places, depending on where you are.​ This means that even if you get away with it and manage to buy one, you could still end up facing fines or other penalties.​

So, while there are certainly some upsides to buying fake bags, there are also a lot of downsides.​ Before making a decision, it’s important to really think it through and weigh the pros and cons.​

I tried to just stick to browsing the real bags at first, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of having an affordable piece of arm candy.​ So I decided what the heck and ended up buying one of the fake bags.​

At first, I was really happy with it.​ I loved the way it looked and fit in with my wardrobe.​ But when I went to use it, I quickly realized that it wasn’t quite as good as it had seemed in the store.​ The zipper kept jamming and the material felt thin and flimsy.​

I was disappointed, but I still figured I would get some use out of it for the time being.​ And that’s when I realized something else that I hadn’t expected.​ People were constantly double-taking when they saw my bag, and not in a good way.​

On some level, it almost seemed as though they could tell it was a knock-off.​ In hindsight, I stopped carrying it out in public as much, because it just wasn’t worth it.​

Looking back, I also realized that I could have gotten a more durable bag at the same or a lower price.​ If I had just done my homework, I wouldn’t have spent so much on something that was going to fall apart after a short while.​

At the end of the day, there are a lot of great reasons to buy fake bags, but there are also a lot of reasons not to.​ So if you find yourself considering buying one, be sure to do your research first and be aware of what you’re getting yourself into.​

However, even though I had been burned a few times and was a bit more skeptical, I eventually decided to give fake bags another shot.​ My reasoning was that if I understand what I was getting into then it was worth it.​

This time around, I ventured to a different part of town and checked out a place that specialized in fake bags.​ I was amazed at the selection and the price point was much lower than most of the real bags I had been eyeing.​

Still, I did my due diligence and made sure to really examine the bag before I made my purchase.​ I wanted to ensure that the quality was up to standards and the materials felt as if they would hold up over time.​

When I finally made my selection, I couldn’t believe how affordable it was and even though it was a fake bag, the quality was great.​ I still wear it to this day and it still looks good as new.​

The success of that experience got me back in the game and I started doing my research into different kinds of fake bags.​ I soon realized that there were many different styles and price points that could give me the affordability and fashion that I was looking for in a bag.​

Knowing what to look for and where to shop is key when it comes to buying fake bags.​ That’s why, if you’re ever in a similar situation and looking for an alternative, it’s important to do your homework first.​

That said, I don’t think being a fashionista has to mean spending a fortune.​ I mean, I love designer bags as much as the next person, but I also know that you can find high-quality and stylish fake bags for an amazing value.​

And you don’t have to sacrifice style or craftsmanship either.​ I’ve seen plenty of fake replica bags that looked indistinguishable from the real thing.​ And when I tried them on, the quality was just as good.​

Plus, some of these bags even come with lifetime warranties, which is something you don’t see very often.​ Considering all the headaches I’ve gone through with my real bags, that’s definitely something I can appreciate.​

Also, you don’t have to settle on one style.​ You can easily mix and match discon- tinued styles or out of season styles and make it look as if you have a closet full of designer items.​

Basically, when it comes to buying fake replica bags, it’s all about knowing where to look.​ And most important, make sure you know what you’re getting when you make your purchase.​ That way, you can ensure that you get the most for your money.​

Overall, I’m happy with my decision to buy fake bags.​ If you’re exploring the same option, just remember to do your research first and take the time to find a bag that will last.​
