Authentic VS Replica Bags

[theshopaholicprincess]

^ LOL. Ako rin dream ko rin magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang na designer bag... kahit LV Neverfull man lang... kahit isa lang! hahaha! kaya naman kung talagang yun lang yung goal ko, pero I'd rather use my hard earned money sa mga priorities namin ni hubby. 

Siguro kanya kanyang trip din sa pagbili ng bags pero I really don't like people flaunting class A bags and act like she's sooo superior from everyone with matching tingin from head to foot tapos ang tambayan sa greenhills. Eh ang original na bilihan ng LV dito sa Pinas eh nasa Greenbelt.

I experience buying a A+ replica of lv sa pinas and ang ganda rin ha and you will not know agad na replica sya. kahit can afford me there are some priorities na I need to attend to imbes sa mga love ko sa designer bags but a few years ago my friend told me that sa orchard road Singapore may nagchecheck daw dun randomly and mga civilians sa mga replica bags and alam ko by law yata you can get fined so I was so afraid and stop using my replica. iba rin kase feel ng replica coz you know in your heart na replica sya. 
so one day hindi ako makatulog coz I so love this lv totally big bag na may pockets sa side. you can put your wallet and water bottle kaya so I told my hubby that this is what I want for vday so he bought this for me. sabi nya 5 valentine's day gift nya to sa hehe...

my say is let's support authentic products coz I'm sure if I'm the creator and dami kong nakikita na replica eh malulungkot ako. super worth it to buy an authentic bag. for my thing my goal is to buy probably every year. pag-ipunan lang. kung hindi kaya ng bulsa then buy a lower brand na lang kesa replica

Ang asawa ko hindi ma accept yung presyo ng mga designer bag sabi niya kahit gano ka tibay daw yun hindi pa rin niya ma tangap yung presyo mas gusto niya ibili ako jewelries kahit na mas mahal pero binibili niya pa din ako ng bag

Kapag bibili kayo online ng Bags like sa Instagram and FB, make sure to meet the seller first and check the items. No obligation dapat kapag gusto nyong makita ang items, mas maganda kung check nyo ang items para makita nyo kung authentic talaga. Check also the original receipt kung binili nya abroad. So far I have trusted sellers naman sa IG and so far happy naman ako sa nabili ko. I only buy bags online yong mga mahirap hanapin sa store, lalo na kung wala dito sa Pinas. I am very particular sa colors and brand na gusto ko, kaya kapag may nakita akong items na hinahanap ko, gusto ko talaga muna meet tapos don ko na i-close deal.

So far, 1 authentic bag in a year is enough for me as a reward for myself.

Ive seen a seller on IG ... she's selling 7A replicas and described the item as made from soft cowhide leather... really? may replica na ganun? totoong leather talaga? and with all the certificates and box pa. Made in Korea daw.

[tsokolat]

^i think meron talaga, when i was in korea 2011 pa sinabihan na ako nung friend ko na based dun na yun mga replica daw dun made of leather na talaga as in parang the real thing na talaga..

[stylishmomy]

^thanks for the reply sis, ganun pala.. but I guess they will be priced highly since real leather nga.

[cloudzy_09]

Yung isa ka business partner ng husband ko may store sa greenhills sabi niya yung mga totoo class A niya bag magaganda daw quality and and price niya is 10-20k grabe ganon pala ka mahal ang replica bag.

[itsmeangel]

^parang that's too overpriced naman for a replica? 

Ako against din ako sa replica bags, tama yung bili ka nalang ng mas mura pero original pa rin. Or save up nalang talaga so you can buy the real thing 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ I think that's what they call "class A" or "7A" replicas (I see some on Instagram na ganyan ang description ng seller). It is expensive, but still just a fraction of the cost of an authentic one, kaya unfortunately, me mga bumibili pa din. Because for example they have 100k, which they can use to buy 1-2 authentic designer bags, pero pag "high-grade" replica e they can buy 5 pa siguro, mas bongga nga naman ang dating nila.

Basta ako, I'd rather buy and use lesser-priced brands basta authentic. Kesa bonggang brand nga pero fake naman. Pero siguro, kanya-kanyang trip lang din yan. Dun sila masaya, sa pag-patronize ng replicas, so kebs na lang..

[stylishmomy]

Grabe naman ang 10k for a replica! saw one on IG 2700 to 3k replica bags nya.. not sure of the quality if real cowhide leather ba

about 3years ago or so yes there is an area in gh wherein the replica bags of LV and other brands were really high!

its inside.. the side where there is an entrance going to shoppesville if my memory serves me right.. its not the one in the main entrance nor the one outside that leads to theatre mall/music museum. I just don't know if they still sell as high as 10-20k but I think you won't see the products anymore, just catalogs.

[cloudzy_09]

Sa mall sila I think sa shopeville hindi yung sa tiange ng greenhills and hindi sila naka display may catalogue sila pinapakita then lalabas lang pag my nag hanap. Na curious kasi ako tinanong ko yung replica nila pinakita sa akin yung catalogue then nagulat ako sa presyo pero hindi ko nakita yung bag mismo kasi hindi naman ako bibili.

[j.adore]

For that amount, you can get other brands already for leather bags that are also sturdy.

[glacy_rein]

^true kaya wag na ipilit na bumili ng fake and instead go for lesser brands na still "branded" pa din naman.

[theshopaholicprincess]

Regarding on IG's seller of authentic bags... I just noticed andami  talaga nagtitinda ngayon sa IG ng imported and branded bags... Ang lagi sinasabi may supplier sa abroad or may relatives sa abroad na nagpapabenta ng bag. For example, yung Longchamp Le Pliage, pag sa mall mo binili mahal, then sa kanila for a large tote around 3k lang ang benta, tapos Michael Kors bags around 7k lang... Minsan nakaka tempt bumili kasi ang mura nya, kaya lang pag inisip mo halos konti lang din price diff nung iba sa mall and di ako sure how authentic they are.

[cloudzy_09]

True parang hindi worth bilhin yung 10-20k na fake kasi sa outlet stores pag nag sale sila for that price makakakuha ka na ng original like coach.

Yung nag bebenta sa internet na sobra mura MK feeling ko fake lalo na pag bago at popular design kasi wala naman ganon model sa outlet stores and hindi nag sa sale ng ganon ka mura yung mga high end brands. Usually yung maganda MK 25k up sa stores tapos dito sa manila ibebenta ng 7k. Yung mga nag sasabi factory surplus, factory defect, singapore kaya mura mga fake yun

correct sis Zara nalang ako, may leather bags naman sila na maganda.

[theshopaholicprincess]

^^ I agree with 10k-20k budget you can buy authentic Coach bags in HK. But for MK how do we spot na fake sya? Kasi checking from their site yung mga magaganda nilang designs mahal din ng konti. Pero dito you can buy it for as low as 6k or 7k per bag sa Ebay or sa IG.

With that price, you can buy an LV wallet na!  May 70k plus na bag at LV, it would be better to save for something you really want to have, than settle for nice replicas.  Replica is replica and you won't be confident with it, that it defeats the purpose of having one in the first place
