Authentic VS Replica Bags

[l_neveph]

mga sis question lang..are those branded bags na binebenta sa mga multiply sites na pre owned are those really authentic?(although they claim na man to be authentic)..i saw a channel bag kasi and it's only for 70t something..if im not mistaken dba usually channel bags are about 100-200t?..are they the real thing or baka mga class a lang?this is in one of the multiply site and mga pre owned  daw..she even have a stall in greenhills..any ideas?TIA!

I'd still go for authentic ones. I agree with sissies here, if di pa kaya ng budget mas better pa bumili na lang sa affordable stores na walang brand kaysa naman buying replica's, come to think of it di din mura yung replica's tapos some are madali pa masira, konti na lang idagdag mo you can buy quality bags na though not with the high end brands ha.

Me too! Brown satchel

my co-worker's friend sells nine west, xoxo, tommy hilfiger and rl bags that don't cost an arm and a leg. better buy bags like those than purchase replica chanel, gucci or lv bags. there's this girl who posted her replica bags in her fb account to flaunt that she can 'afford' to buy designer stuff. pathetic lang kasi akala niya walang marunong tumingin if replica or authentic. nakakatawa lang yung ganun.

Kung gusto nilang bumili ng replica okay fine go ahead. The problem is pinaglalantaran nila na its the real thing. Yun ang nakakainis dun. Haha!

Just want to share

^at last!  it's really an embarassment that counterfeit goods are "legal"in the Phils

[cuppie_cake]

^That's good, and sana di lang LV brands as in nagkalat na din kasi other brands like coach, lacoste among others na mga fake. Minsan tuloy nakakahinayang na bumili ng authentic since naging cheap na ang dating ng bags sa sobrang daming replica's.

[mavhy]

Dami mo na talagang makakasalubong na nakadesigner bag, parang nawawala ang exclusivity hay.

thanks talaga mga sis for the help. buti na lang nakapagtanong na ako dito before deciding whether to buy replica or not.. nakakatempt lang talaga yung balenciaga. hmp.

hahaha. thankyou mga sis

[l_neveph]

guys asking again..are the ones sold here authentic?....http://michkadesignerbags.multiply.com/photos/album/1309/_CH#1#photo=1. i believe mga 2nd hand ito..wanna buy kasi..and do u think 2nd hand are worth the price?i hope you can enlighten me with this mga sis..thank you

[aiden]

^Sis, mukhang wala pa yatang nakakabili from that seller galing dito sa GT. Nonetheless,the best way to say if a bag isa authentic is to do your research and see the bag for yourself. Ang gagaling nang gumaya ng gumagawa ng replica ngayon so I'd say see the bag for yourself. Sabi ng tita ko, paghawak mo pa lang sa material, you'd know if it's real or not.

^^sis michkadesignerbags is a legit seller. Meron siyang stall sa promenade.  as for buying preowned bags, okay lang naman, pero mas sulit pa din if sa abroad ka magpapabili, wait for sale season.

[l_neveph]

thanks for the reply mga sis..

@aiden sis favor if  u pm me if you know any seller trusted here in GT who sells pre owned items?

@juana_antonia sis i have no idea kasi if nagse sale din ba ang mga chanel bags, cos that's what im realy dying to have..if they do how low can they get?

TIA=)

[marijay]

ahaha i wud suggest if ur gonna buy designer bags better buy the original but for longchamp and juicy couture i wud buy the replica..why?ive seen a class a replica and original swabe super pareho,texture,stitches and all that..nakakainis diba

[reeya]

basta ako ill go sa authentic kung di kaya ng budget yung di naman masyado mahal pero maganda. ayoko talaga gumamit ng fake parang nakakahiya. parang imo pa sosyal pero wala naman pala eh di dun na lang ako sa afford ko at maganda naman design. pero wish ko talaga magka goyard at chanel.

[7teenth]

naabutan ko yung buy one take one free sale sa topshop last week, kasama yung 2 bags, kaya lang madami sya so hindi ako bumili. ayoko kasi yung naglalakad sa mall tapos may kapareho na bag.

i bought this afternoon sa aldo! 1,800 na lang. sale e! 30% off school bag na leather. although synthetic lang ata sya.

[girl_interrupted]

For me, any asians i see carrying lvs, lahat mukhang fake. Maybe because fake lvs proliferate not just in the phils, but also in hk, korea, etc...

I know a lot of rich madams who like buying replicas, and true, when they use it, nagmumukha ngang real Terno kasi with their real diamonds ...haha. Wala daw kasing resell value ang bags. Again, to each his own.

As for me, like one gt talker said, iba ang high knowing you are carrying the real thing.

[Senorita fifi]

yes...all or nothing talaga...if you cant afford to buy the original might as well not buy at all nalang. mag guess ka nalang or something at least original hahaha

[theryanne]

Never buy fake.

WE all came from being students and there are a lot of designs that can "achieve" a certain look for much less.

Example the quilted chanel bag, you can get something similar from Dorothy Perkins or even Landmark, just throw it after a few months.

I bought a canvass bag at Galeria for P400.00 but I really love the color and design.  My friend who saved for a Balenciaga died of envy
