  • Deep down, we all want to be trendy. We all want to be stylish. We all want to show off our latest, trendiest designer handbags. And more often than not, our budget is not on par with this desire - which inevitably leads us to embrace the super fakes. But, is it really the only option out there to keep up with the trends? Are we obliged to the super fake handbags?

    Some superfakes actually use not just fabrics that mimic leather but actually sometimes the real leather type used by the brand, like using top grain or Togo leather to mimic Hermes. And not only that, the Hermes super fakes sometimes are stitched with the same saddle stitch technique. Those super fakes are what the rich ladies in NY are buying.

    Before I was able to afford luxury, the only bag I owned and bought was a large Longchamp le Pliage that I used for everyday. My sisters gifted me a Coccinelle bag for the evenings or nice events. Those were my only bags for long time, until I built my career and savings/emergency funds, etc. I don't see the appeal in owning a fake, I don't care about being seeing with a designer bag. If I know I am carrying a fake, I would feel like I am lying.

    While I understand the legal aspects such as IP infringement, I personally question how comparable replica factories are to factories of fast fashion brands. So many people purchase from brands such as Zara, H&M, Mango, Primark, and Shein, which haven't had the best track record in terms of appropriate working conditions, but then turn around and talk about how unethical it is to purchase replicas. In addition to this, I've heard a lot about how the quality of high-end replicas surpass the quality of authentic goods, which should never be the case. I also think that people should shift from only talking about replica apparel and put more emphasis on the dangers of replica cosmetics and perfume. While the market for those products may not be as large as replica handbags, it's still circulating and may even end up being sold to unsuspecting buyers.

    Superfakes should be made legal. Legalizing superfakes would ensure safer imitation bags are made while ensuring people who are making these bags are employed. And have a living wage. And the genuine bags are sold at much cheaper prices. Making the bags much more affordable. Legalizing superfakes would also put an end to using superfakes to hide funds obtained from other illegal activities.

  • @contentconsoomer6591
    @contentconsoomer6591 Před 18 dny +2

    The Reality:
    The replica market is literally just Chinese manufacturers and distributors, there's nothing sinister. Its completely similar to the way anything is manufactured and sold in China. They pay their workers wages similar to any other manufacturing position. It is ridiculous to say that we are hurting luxury brands, they have been abusing their customer base with price increases and decreasing quality standards for many years. Almost all luxury designers fall under 2 parent companies anyway at this point, so who are we hurting? I wear my replicas into all the most prestigous stores; I only receive compliments and ass kissing for a sale. I check to make sure they are indistinguishable, and no one has ever even hinted at them being fake. I'll proudly tell anyone my bag is fake, I'm not the sucker who will pay $10k for a Chanel lol. When I tell people my bags are fake, they always thinks its super cool and want to find out how to get one.

  • @Cantseemuch
    @Cantseemuch Před 22 dny

    For me the fascination of luxury fashion and lately handbags is mainly the craftsmanship and timeless design. Like what makes a piece timeless and how material, proportions and accessories create a cohesive design.
    That’s why I learned how to make these things myself. I thought a lot about it and I own a few second hand mid level luxury pieces (which have been worth their money) but the current prices are simply not worth it anymore. At a 3000€ price point for a bag, I can take the time out of my day to work on a piece and buy materials and still have some of that 3000€ left.
    I don’t plan on selling any of the inspired pieces I make and I won’t buy a fake, it’s against my morals but I also don’t want to contribute to these companies success.

    This video is very manipulative. It puts the blame on consumer of fakes, while ignoring the real roots of the problem:
    1) consumerism - everyone is pressed to buy more
    2) very fast changing trends, supported by fashion brands
    3) shady business practices, used by brands only a bit less, than by producers of fakes (remember, Dolce & Gabbana were on trial for tax fraud?)
    4) Bad economy, especially affecting the middle class
    5) Environmental issues - are you serious? There are oil spills in this world, as well as fast fashion industry, fast food industry, etc. But, of course, it's my fake or real handbag that should be perceived as a crime against the environment! Just next to my tampons, I suppose. Please, leave women alone and notice the elephants in the room.
    6) Health risks - mentioning them is pure misleading. I don't normally lick my bags! I also never eat them, don't cook food ibside them, almost never smell them and definitely not inject them internally. Stop fear mongering, get real!
    7) Fashion brands losing their income, because people by fakes instead of the real things: nope, people who buy fakes or superfakes do so, because they cannot afford the real ones. So, no lost income here. If anything, buyers of fakes provide free advertising to the brands (and maybe it's time they start charging them for it, he-he).
