How many of you purchase Replica products, such as bags, jewelry, etc. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

emilyann · 01-21-2009, 08:21 AM

I don't understand expensive bags but everyone has their own tastes.

I'd much rather buy an extremely adorable purse or make one (I make purses) for MUCH less moolah and have moolah left to spend rather than buy something with a huge price tag, plain jane looking and quite a few people have them. I don't buy anything designer... I'm a bargain girl and usually if it's for me and it isn't on sale, I don't buy it. Like, I wouldn't spend $20 on a tee or pajamas for myself but I will for my dog. Rather funny.

I also only wear real jewelry, not costume jewelry. I am allergic to fake earrings and within an hour my ears get red and itchy and painful. With rings my fingers turn green usually. I find that decent looking costume jewelry is more than 1/2 the price of something real anyways so I'd rather save a bit longer and buy the real thing. At Kohls sterling silver is usually always 70% off, so I get silver rings and earrings a lot and they are super cheap at less than $15 a piece.

Oh jeeze, I know what you mean. Fake earrings killllll my ears, ugh. I bought some cheappppp earrings for Christmas and had them on maybe 30 minutes.

I just got a speedy too for Christmas and I love it oh so much!

As for me, only the real thing. Not only do I just hate fakes, I think that's part of what is wrong with the economy these days. People are so desperate to have the hottest things they are supporting scammers and crooks who broker these fake items. Little do they know they could look fantastic with a bag from Target as opposed to that horrible LV or Coach replica.

margaritaville · 01-21-2009, 06:00 PM

When I buy, I buy the real thing. I bought a fake LV in Chinatown, NY and it lasted a couple months-out it went. I have a few really good Coach purses, one black one brown very plain that I have had for several years and are no where near needing replacement. They seem to go with everything I have except very dressy things.

wemple2 · 01-21-2009, 07:16 PM

I prefer the real deal...but I am also a bargain/discount shopper. I also really use the things I buy and keep them forever.

C101Yorkie · 01-21-2009, 07:31 PM

I'm not much of a girlie shopper.

So, I guess I'd be happy with a cheap, regular bag at a regular not fancy store. If that makes sense.

chloesMama · 01-21-2009, 08:21 PM

No knock offs here. I really like my designer bags BUT not because they are designer , because they are pretty.

I'm not much into buying purses ( I must be missing that girly DNA

) so I don't own many.... something has to really appeal to me for me to buy it. I wouldn't waste my time or money on a knock off.

carmengamble · 01-21-2009, 08:30 PM

I found this on a website. I purchase and also sell replica bags, please don't hate me for it! Don't get me wrong, if I could afford the real thing, I would definitely buy it!

BENEFITS OF BUYING REPLICA HANDBAGS INSTEAD OF GENUINE DESIGNER BAGS.

More and more women are carrying replica handbags to enjoy the look and feel of a world luxury purse without paying dearly for it! Replica handbags are lovely additions to any wardrobe. There are many styles, colors, materials, and sizes of replica handbags so everyone can accomplish the look they want.

So, why are so many women choosing replica handbags? Probably the main reason is to save money, plain and simple. But there are other reasons as well. Genuine luxury handbags can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars up to $1,000. High quality replica handbags, on the other hand, usually cost between $100 and $200. Lower quality handbag replicas cost between $20 and $80, but might not last as long.

"High quality" replicas are the ones that are made with the same or similar material as the original, or are stitched similarly with durable materials. These are usually advertised as "A+" replicas. Beware of companies that claim "A+" quality, but aren't willing to reveal the materials or methods used to make the purses.Some women enjoy the look and feel of a world luxury designer bag, but don't want the worry of carrying an extremely expensive purse everywhere they go.

They want a handbag to carry on the job, out to lunch, or to the shopping mall. Unfortunately, having an expensive brand name handbag such as Gucci, Prada, Chanel, or Versace means constantly worrying the purse will get stolen or damaged. With a Chanel replica handbag or other replicas, the money risk is much lower.

Many women enjoy changing handbags with certain outfits or for different occasions. They might use one purse for work and one for fancy dinner parties. Buying replica handbags enables them to get more for their money. They can buy several replica purses for the price of one genuine designer bag. Replica handbags are great to carry to formal dinners or dances, weddings, proms, and other extravagant events.

Replica Handbag Variety
Replica handbags are available for almost any style and brand name available. For almost every top handbag designer in the world, there are replicas to match. Some brand names to look for include Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Marc Jacobs, Hermes, MiuMiu, Versace, Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Celine, Thomaswyld, Dolce & Gabbana, or Coach. The styles of replica handbags range from the simple, but elegant, Speedy 30 by Louis Vuitton to the complex Prada Nappa Gauffre handbag. There are many colors, shapes, and sizes for any outfit or occasion.

The materials used to create replica handbags can include leather, canvas, brass or gold-plated hardware, cloth, or vinyl. Some replicas come with locks, magnetic snaps, and other unique features.
When searching for a replica handbag, use online resources to find the purse that fits your needs and budget. There are websites that specialize in replica products including replica watches (e.g. replica Rolex), replica shoes, Chanel wholesale products, and other world luxury replica items. If you're not sure about a replica handbag, ask questions to find out what material was used to make the handbag and how it was made.

Replica handbags aren't the cheapest around, but they make a wonderful, affordable alternative to designer bags!

Ps - i'm not trying to persuade you guys, I just know some people will want to attack me!

MeganS · 01-21-2009, 08:52 PM

I'm not that into designer purses. I have a coach and an LV. They are both real.

Personally, I think that it would be better to just save up the money you'd spend on 2 of the fake ones, and buy a real one. they last FOREVER (except that the strap on my LV broke.

).

I'd rather just save my money period and go buy a $25 regular purse from Target...but I do like designer purses every now and again!

I have had my Chanel bag for 3 years, it cost be $30.00 and it doesn't have a tear, nothing has broken on it, the zipper is still fine. So honestly, I'd probably even rather buy the replicas! I just love the styles!

emilyann · 01-21-2009, 09:14 PM

Aren't replicas illegal though? If they aren't, I don't see how not... it's basically claiming that they're one thing when they're really not. Hm...
