nabasa ko sa Longchamp thread that Signature Lane sells fake items pero if you check the site, nakalagay authentic daw. Meron pa silang ibang na-mention na site dun e... So ingat mga sis sa ganyang sellers.

hi sisses, how would you know if authentic or replica lang yung bag? kasi meron ako kakilala may alam syang bilihan online ng chanel bag (maliit lang, di ko alam kung anung tawag sa model na yun) worth $90 lang. i know na hindi sya authentic because of the price pero hindi rin naman ako marunong tumingin kung authentic nga or hindi by just looking at it (nakabili na kasi sya ng bag). and meron sya nung card na parang meron serial number nung bag. please give me an idea mga sis. TIA!

Haaay sobrang frustrated na ako sa Longchamp Le Pliage. I bought a Longchamp bag from my officemate, sa relative nya kinuha yun, parang re-seller lang siya. Ang sabi authentic daw. Since tiwala naman ako, nag order ako. By the way, it's only Php3,950 at 2 gives pa. I'm aware na marami nang nagkalat na fake pero since kakilala, nagtiwala naman ako.

When I got the bag, I immediately checked the details. Sa unang tingin, ok siya. Inusisa ko yung stiches, may parts na may double stitches at hindi pantay. Inexplain ko dun sa officemate ko, concerned din naman siya kasi she also got a bag for herself. Ang ginawa nya and nung relative nya, nagpunta sila ng Longchamp boutique at Shangri-la to check out the original bags. Sabi nya, same lang naman daw lahat ng features except she noticed na mas malambot yung leather dun sa boutique kesa dun sa binebenta nila.

Sabi ko, since nakakaduda talaga ang authenticity, magre-refund nalang ako. Hindi pa nya nababalik yung money ko pero ibabalik din naman nya yun.

Nakaka-sad lang kasi akala ko magkakaron na talaga ako ng LC. Although it looks REAL, I wouldn't pay P3,950 for a FAKE. Konti nalang idadagdag ko makakabili na ako ng sure na authentic, yun nga lang hindi installment.

I would prefer to buy an unbranded bag rather than spend on a replica.

Bags bought at department stores are quite affordable and are durable. You just really have to look.

For those bought in stores, MNG and Zara does have nice designs. I just find MNG bags not very durable. The leather comes off after some time. I have yet to try Forever 21 bags.

I also like buying bags from Tangs in Singapore and Vincci in Malaysia. The designs are nice. The quality is good. The price is reasonable. And you do not see the same bag going around!

Yung mga bags ba Na mabibili sa in-flight duty free, are they authentic? Like long champ or aigner? If ever meron po sa mga sissies Na naka-purchase Na on the plane duty free, pa share din po ng mga pov's. Tia!

Naku, nag-worry naman ako. Yung LongChamp overstock na tinatawag, authentic ba yon? Nasa P3k-4k din kasi, meya fake di naman pala mabili ko.

kookie420 · « **Reply #88 on:** December 26, 2011, 02:35:48 pm »

i'd rather have unbranded bags than using fakes/knock offs/class AAAAAAA (kahit sa sobrang daming A baka pumasa na -- wish nila)

parang uso sa office ng isa kong friend yung mga clients na nagre-regalo ng fake bags sa business contacts nila... siguro around 10 fakes yung natanggap nya. sayang nga kasi di naman nya gagamitin... sabi ko nga sana maski tig 200 nalang na gc binigay para useful naman maski paano. hehe

now she doesnt know how to unload those fake bags. halo-halo. from longchamp to jimmy choo. haha!

^ganyan din sa office dati, lalo Na yung purchaser namin. What she did is she made cellphone pouches out of it. Creative kasi yun and she really was able to make cute pouches.

i'm just sharing this POV when buying from outlet stores lalo na dito sa US. most of the times, the materials differ but not too much kaya minsan when you go to the store and look at the one that you bought from the outlet store, they have different materials pero items from the outlet store are real too. it's just that the outlet stores houses the out-of-season or last season's items tapos yung ibang designer naman they really create the same design for outlet stores kaya lang the materials are different- cheaper than the ones in their own store so that they can sell it cheaper too. i love outlets because i think that i don't need to spend a lot of money for "branded" items. i'm the type that i look at the style and function first and if i like it, i'll get it at a reasonable price. if it's "branded" eh di okay, kung hindi- okay din.

@swt_fem: sis, kung sana kung yung source ng LC mu galing sa labas, pwede siya magsabi na galing outlet store ng LC (if ever na meron pero wala pa akong alam na meron), pwede yung iba yung material pero yung stitching na di pantay, di acceptable yun na authentic kasi kahit outlet items may quality control din. sana makuha mu yung refund mo.

question ko lang: what can you say about designers who have similar bag designs and color? case in point: michael kors travel tote medium/large and LV neverfull MM or GM? similar kasi yung designs and color pero yung kay michael kors, MK ang print sa labas and then shape and color pareho sa LV but it costs at least 1/4 of an LV. can you consider that as replica?

Naku, never ever buy replica/fake bags
nung student ako, i am not into bags naman, so, okay na okay na ako with mga girbaud, Nike, and even secosana. Kahit sale, ok lang. Maliit lang allowance ko nung student ako e. Hehe.

nung working na ako, that is the time i started splurging on bags. I never use fake items (mapa bag, sapatos, makeup, kahit ano pa). Besides being tacky, you are just fooling yourself

If you are so lemming for a certain style, go to Charles and Keith nalang marami silang nice bags na luxe-looking

Inis na inis nga ako pag nireregaluhan ako ng fake e. Di sa ingrata ha, pero Better sana binigyan mo nalang ako ng food

^^Feeling ko naman sis hindi replica bale inspired design lang siguro or twin design?

He!he! actually hindi lang ang Michael Kors ang may design ng bags inspired by LV bag designs. like the popular LV Neverfull, meron na din ang Prada, Gucci,etc. And the Classic LV Speedy, meron ang MK, Gucci, Prada, Furla at marami pang iba.
LV Speedy= Gucci Boston= Furla Candy Bag, etc.
i actually like the MK na speedy type of bag and even bought the Furla Candy kahit may LV Speedy ako and contemplating of getting the Gucci Web Boston Bag.

Then yung sa Mulberry Alexa is almost the same ng design ng Proenza Schuler (tama ba spelling??).
The oversized Patent LV Alma looks similar to YSL Muse.
Over-all, i think its ok kasi hindi lang yung mga medium price na labels ang naiinispire pati yung same level na luxury brands.

k_heart · « **Reply #94 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:30:03 pm »

pakisama na rin pala ang Goyard na may sariling version ng LV Neverfull design.

malulugi yung designers so i don't want to buy fakes.. chaka parang guilty pleasure narin na alam mong authentic yung bag mo..

sis kookie420: natawa ako sa "wish nila" haha!

Regarding sa Michael Kors large Hamiltons, how low can this really go?

I don't really have any idea, ang hirap nito there are hardly anything that screams fake in the market but naglipana ang replicas. Nakakaloko pa, halos makipagsabayan din ang presyo sa genuine. Kahit pa nga 1.5k, malaking pera na sa akin yun then mapupunta lang sa fake that I don't intend to buy in the first place.

docbubwit · « **Reply #97 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:46:54 am »

^^sis, as for the MK large hamiltons personally i think it's okay kasi it's just designer inspired. from my point, i don't think it's a fake. i know it looks like the hermes bag but what i see with the hamilton is that the designer did put his name on the bag and made a twist sa handles and the lock. it would have been different kung di niya nilagyan ng name niya at nagprint ng name ng original tapos talagang i-try na gayahin buong-buo yung design.

i think also it goes with publicity too. the bigger designers like LV, prada, gucci, etc. do spend on their marketing and PR strategy to "broadcast" their items. middle range designers like coach, MK, dooney and burke, etc do have PR strategy but not as luxe as the designer stuff. actually i just learned from a friend that a real designer item is rarely seen in the market because the designer just makes at the most ten items on one design and most of these designers are just known to the elites kasi nga they don't want others to have the same items that they have and it is really exclusive. di ko alam where she got this info pero i think it makes sense din. (sorry ha, di naman talaga ako well-versed with designs and fashion kasi i just get stuff that i like and feel comfortable in basta bagay din sa akin.)

authentic bags

I won't go for replicas. Embarrassing when someone with knowledge of the original item sees the replica! If can't afford, no na talaga. Or try sa ukay, hihi. Pag lucky, merong super nice pa na designer bags there
