Authentic VS Replica Bags

[theryanne]

can you sissies check this site: http://sholuxe.multiply.com

they're selling branded bags for 500 and above lang e. super mura. and and nagtitinda sila ng harajuku lovers na bag for 700 pesos. e when i checked sa rustan's nasa 5-10k ang mga bags na ganon.

Yeap, its not orig sis!    It snags easily.

really? i thought so, too. nakabili ka na ba sa kanila? how about their clothes? not that i stalk them or whatever, pero they're selling clothes with labels such as tsumori chisato, marc jacobs and chloe for very very cheap price... say 500. if made in china ba does it mean it's not the real thing?

not that i am against those who buy replicas as we should not judge a person's character by the things she own. but sometimes. it's the attitude that counts... ang iba kasi pasosyal ang dating eh mahalata mo naman na she's wearing fake bag/watch, etc and what's worst, plastic din ugali  for me, kahit na  i only have 1 or 2 branded items for watch (TH & TM) & bag (coach & LV), masaya na ako kasi i know that it would last long with proper care

AUTHENTIC! AUTHENTIC! AUTHENTIC!

I never buy replicas. What's the point? So you can have one that looks like it? Di buy na lang a bag which has the same style from another brand, unless you're after the brand itself. Pero kung di afford, wag na lang muna. Okay lang naman yun, madaming di afford ang designer bags. Katulad ko. Hahaha. Di ka pa matatawag na trying hard.

I have a "quality over quantity" concept. So i go for the authentic ones mainly because of its quality. talagang kahit gamit na gamit mukang bago parin. I have Coach's and finally LV's =) Next purchase would be a Chanel. If replica bags can give me the same quality eh why not kaso hindi eh, itsura palang wala na so I dont own one. Mas gusto ko pa na isang authentic na amazing quality na designer bag than 10 replicas that wouldn't last me for years.

I'd rather buy something unbranded than carry something that shouts replica. It's like patronizing stealing and isa pa, kung walang pambili bakit ipipilit lalo na pag halata.

sabihin na na judgemental ako, but I am totally against people that buy replica.  it's either these people are so ignorant that they don't know that replicas are equivalent to stolen goods, or lacking in morals that they don't care that they are buying stolen goods

[sydxoxo]

you can never compare AUTHENTIC to replicas. It's incomparable. end of topic  hindi na dapat pinaguusapan yan, replicas??? BOO! 

if you can't afford it, don't buy it. simple. if you really want to buy a branded/designer item, pag-ipunan dapat, hindi yung bibili ng replica just to fit in

authentic talaga, mas matino at quality talaga ang binibili

[chaichikay]

^^well said sis

sis, since you're still a student and living off on parents' money, why not go for brands (local or otherwise) that are chic and stylish rather than waste your allowance on fakes. when you're old enough and earning your own keep, then you can enjoy splurging on authentic bags. i didn't get my first LV not until i bought my 2nd car and a condo. aim high, hit the mark and reap the rewards. you'll get there soon enough sis

I would rather buy a second-hand authentic than a replica.

Although one of my friends told me na di naman malalaman if fake or orig depende daw sa nagdadala. Kase meron daw na authentic nga pero yung may-ari eh mukha naman daw "can't afford" LOL

[cindylulu]

^i'm right there with you sis hahahaha!

it's so funny, i can't help laughing. pero true. oo nga, while there are some who wears fake but makes it look authentic... hay branded bags...

went to Greenbelt 5 yesterday, i still fantasize having balenciaga bags 

[aiden]

^haha. true. pero bottomline, mukha lang silang "can't afford" dahil sa totoong buhay they CAN afford and all we can do ay mamatay sa inggit.lol

[hotmom]

i have 3 auth coach bags but prang ako pa nahihiyang gumamit kasi maraming naglilipanang peke.....

[cindylulu]

^same dilemma sis. i hardly use my lv azur totally coz it can pass for a first class fake   

[[-c-h-a-]]

who cares what other people think? if you know you're holding the real thing diba, wala na akong pakielam sa sasabihin ng iba

but I never buy fakes... either wala na lang brand kesa sa peke. Kung hindi kaya bumili, wag pagpilitan.

[cindylulu]

^hahahahaha! right on sis! na coconscious lang talaga ako.  yup it's better na no brand at all kesa sa fake
