Id rather support something that's original and proudly made in the philippines than support counterfeit goods from china (or any other country for that matter)!

ako din kahit nung student ako never ako nag carry ng replica, i rather buy mga pinoy brands like secosana na meron sa dept. store, pero replica.. no way..

For me, never buy replica. Even the "class triple a" and things like that are just their way of making you feel like you own something expensive. but the quality will suck.

Don't force it rin. Like if this bag is expensive, but it's just a mini or something, and what you need is a school bag, then don't buy the mini. buy something that you really need, since student ka pa. in that case, you don't need an replica.

i agree with k_heart ... i think ok lang naman kung inspired.. parang damit lang.. same cut pero iba materials and colors ng iba-ibang brands..

even local brands like secosana, beladonna etc..; and those that are not that expensive like mango, ninewest etc, may kaniya kaniyang version ng "speedy" "neverful" saka ng "birkin"

at least yung mga bumibi nun,(like me

) hindi nila kina-claim na hermes sila, lv sila or what not

No to fake! Bibili ako ng walang brand sa tyangge or market kesa bumili ako ng fake.

Definitely AUTHENTIC. I agree with what the others have posted. Madami namang brands na affordable na maganda din talaga ang quality. If you cannot afford the high end brands wag mo na lang muna ipilit. Or you can save up for it for the meantime. Sa akin kasi its better to have good quality bags kahit konti lang kaysa magse2ttle ka for replicas kahit na sabihin pa nilang class AAAAAAAAA pa yan it would still be a fake.

I'd rather buy a bag that I can afford na di fake. Although I do buy imitation Cath Kidston and mga cute Le Sport Sac bags sa GH. I just can't help myself!

Everyone made their point

I go for girbaud/esprit while saving for the designer ones

hotsikikay · « **Reply #112 on:** July 09, 2012, 06:28:29 pm »

lonelymiss28 · « **Reply #113 on:** July 10, 2012, 10:28:29 am »

no to fakes, i would be using an sm plastic bag than to use fake.

labandera · « **Reply #114 on:** July 17, 2012, 09:28:36 pm »

naku, for me yata depende at totoong nasa nagdadala talaga yan. may friend ako back in college, anak sya ng politician..designer bags talaga.. halos every month kung magpalit at ultimo mga pouches, wallets nya prada or chanel, then nalaman ko na inoorder lang pala nya yung bag somewhere so in short - fake. pero super hindi talaga halata, pano ba naman mahahalata eh ang ganda nya (matching her bags with cars, gadgets and accessories pa) tapos yung officemate ko na saksakan ng itim

na literal pinag ipunan pa nya yung speedy 35 nya. eh hindi mo talaga mapagkakamalan na kaya nyang bumili ng LV.

I've nothing against sa mga sisses natin na ayaw ng mga replica. for me lang, kung ako kirarang bata mas uunahin ko na siguro magpaputi kesa bumili ng original na LV. kaya nasa nagdadala lang yan talaga.. i dont see any point of buying such luxuries kung wala ka naman nung mga essential. para ka lang mas social climber tignan. tipong naka-LV ka nga, eh nagjijeep at tricycle ka naman... eh di sana mas nauna na lang nyang pinag ipunan yung koche.

o kaya naka balenciaga ka eh ang kaso duling or bungal ka... walang sense eh

sis 7teenth, orig, fake or 2nd hand man kahit ano pa yan, make sure na keri mo ang beauty at over-all get up mo.

aiden · « **Reply #115 on:** July 21, 2012, 03:02:44 pm »

It's not just about carry mo or hindi, IMO. In my case, I place high value on the artisanship or craftsmanship of an item. For some people, it is like appreciating art or how much love and skill that went into an item. I-compare natin sa artwork. Why are orginal artworks expensive... Say, the Last Supper by Da Vinci vs mass produced stuff? Because the orginal was made with precise set of skills, technique, and took time to finish.

Then again, Hindi ko rin nilalahat na appreciated ang artisanship sa authentic bags. Some talaga buy authentic bags dahil status symbol siya.

yun lang, sayang lang din pera mo dahil hindi mo appreciated the skill that went into your authentic bag.

Let's not reduce the argument of authentic vs replica lang to its price. There are authetic items you can get for reasonable prices if you know where to loor or of you don't mind segunda mano.

Isn't that slightly racist na mukhang fake dahil maitim ka, kapag maputi mukhang orig ang dala mo? But that's OT na for this thread, I think.

labandera · « **Reply #116 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:37:42 pm »

sis aiden, oo nga no baka racist tendency nga,

i was actually thinking of a perfect word to describe yung co-worker ko na yun eh, hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko bang derechong panget na lang kasi baka mas lalong offensive or parang mga contestant sa wowowee kasi baka may mga wil fans dito at lalo nila kong pagalitan haha!

siguro sa ibang topic ko na lang sya ididiscuss.

but anyway, my post was in direct response dun sa question ni sis 7teenth na "what do you girls think of purchasing replica bags, like Balenciaga's na ang cute talaga ng style pero I can't afford? ", kasi kung ang naging question nya ay: "ano mas maganda or ok? authentic or replica" then definitely i would say na yung authentic...sino ba naman ang baleng magsasabi na mas maganda ang replica sa authentic??

at hindi na dapat yun pinagtatalunan. kaya lang kasi ang question nya ay kung tama bang bumili ng replica or not, since she cannot afford it pa, kaya yun ang pov ko: if you cant afford them yet, then you can work around with your overall getup..and again nasa pagdadala lang yan.

rianne_mallows · « **Reply #117 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:56:35 pm »

Actually, hindi naman ako against sa opinion ni labandera na nasa nagdadala iyan. Kanya kanyang opinion yun eh.

However, nakakabother yung comment niya. May pagkaracist yun notion about her dark skinned coworker. Wala na bang K mag LV porke maitim? Eh lumpo at pilay? Wala na din K?

Imo, if ikaw priority para sa iyo ang magpaputi, o kaya ang car, meron iba na priority ay travel, or jewelries, or shoes. Siguro in the case of your coworker ay bag naman

labandera · « **Reply #118 on:** July 21, 2012, 10:14:59 pm »

naku racist tendency nga yata

gustuhin ko man sumagot at magelaborate pa re: kaitiman pero out of topic na talaga at baka mas lalo lang magkalituhan sa usapan at mahigh-blood ang mga sis natin dito at mapunta pa sa iba ang topic kung uulit ulitin ko pa.

im not sure if youve noticed...pero palaging may salita ng ownership ang post ko gaya ng "for me", "kung ako", "i" or "ko" i didnt say it as a general or common rule, i said it dahil yun ang tingin KO at sumagot AKO based on my OWN-perhaps-brutally-HONEST opinion (which is the very essence of forums - sarili mong pananaw) I NEVER said na WALA silang karapatan or K, again ang sinabi KO ay malinaw na malinaw na: "FOR ME" at "KUNG AKO" meaning to say, KUNG ako naging sila.

kung may sarili kayong opinion sa mga tao like color, size, gender pref, reflections, etc. then yun ang sa inyo (sana pala dinirecho ko na lang na panget o kaya mataba na may something sa leeg

nyahaha! lets just say, na kaya ko nabanggit ang salitang maitim ay BAKA in lack of a better term) so for the last time I stand by MY pov. nasa nagdadala lang talaga yan..

cosmic girl · « **Reply #119 on:** July 22, 2012, 01:06:56 am »

^ if that's your opinion then that's fine, im sure you meant well naman

Different priorities kasi ang mga tao, yung iba priority nila ang bags, clothes, makeup or whatever. Like they would rather commute carrying the latest gadget than spend that money on a car loan, trip niya yun eh, kanya kanyang trip yan at walang basagan ng trip

For me, its fine to buy designer authentic bags if you can very much afford it. Also i'd rather buy mura na authenthic than a mura na replica. What i just don't approve of is when things like paying the rent, or paying your credit card debt are ignored in favor of having such luxuries. I know someone na ganun, gucci bags, latest iphone, designer watches but puro utang and banned na sya ng credit card companies. But hey its her life, trip nya yun eh, nakaka sad nga lang
