Fake Handbags Versus Designer Handbags
Dec 21st, 2009 Posted in style | no comment »Our current fashion trends place designer purses and designer handbags as integral parts of a woman’s ensemble, as important as every other accoutrement. Wallets, purses and designer handbags absolutely complete your outfit and allow you countless possibilities for mixing and matching to accent everything beautifully.
However, designer handbags, purses and wallets can be extremely expensive, and so there is an entire industry devoted to faux designer handbags and purses. The manufacturers of faux designer handbags and purses have gotten so good at their work that it can be very hard to tell the real ones from the fake ones.
Therefore, unless you truly are not concerned about the price you pay for a designer handbag or purse, you can substitute an original bag with a faux bag. Just as clothing companies are mimicking fashion designers and people are able to save money by buying “generic”, the same is true of handbags and purses. Indeed, the designer handbag and purse manufacturers are charging such outrageous prices for their products that they are actually driving the faux designer handbag business. The fashion world will be extremely unhappy with what I am saying, but when you consider the incredibly high pricing they place on their bags, it is no wonder that so many businesses have been created with the intention of creating faux designer handbags.
Of course, it’s just fine to charge money for an unique item, but you also need to accept that this attitude can generate this secondary market eager to grab some of the action also. Your item can be duplicated and offered at a less expensive cost, and it’s not that hard to do. While patent and copyright laws are maintained, it’s only common sense to rebel against the unreasonable prices that some designers charge for their merchandise.
And once you understand these driving factors, you begin to see that to attempt to eliminate the secondary market of faux designer handbags and purses is a lost cause. The two markets actually drive each other, where supply and demand is being driven by cost and desire.
In my experience, I am not looking at the value of a handbag or purse as much as I am looking at the style and color of the purse or handbag. If it complements and completes the outfit, then it’s the way to go and I’m not too concerned about whether it’s the real thing or knock-off.
Genuine or faux, when it comes to designer handbags and purses, people will have deeply divided opinions, and only you can determine what works best for your fashion needs.
