im not broke, and me and my girl make a good amount of money, and if i wanted authentic lv or gucci i could afford to buy it. but i dont see the reason to spend $600 on a bag or a shirt if i can get it for $40… all knock offs dont look like knock off!!! and sometimes people say look inside the bag to see if its real!! who cares how the inside looks!!! i buy fake everything and i will be the first to tell you its fake, cause it still looks hot. thats all that matters!!! $600 for a bag is crazy, thats half my rent!! so i dont buy real jordans, gucci, lv or any other expensive brand.. i just brought the lv christopher backpack. i heard it cost like $5000, i paid $120… and thats still alot…lol

Also, after I read a number of comments here, I don’t feel so bad about my bag anymore.. I was kind of embarrassed about it when I found out, but now I’m okay.

My mother has many many name brand bags that are all authentic and I think she spends too much on them, but when it comes down to a designer inspired bag that looks nice, she will buy it and don’t mind showing it because it’s not those that are fake to the point where a person would stress it’s real.

Anyway she gave me a bag that she bought for $3 that looks really nice. I didn’t even know it was a “Gucci” inspired design until she told me today and I started to feel self-conscious when I compared the pattern, the real one has two G’s, one upside down, while on my bag, where the G’s are supposed to be, it looks like an infinity symbol. If anyone really knows Gucci, (I didn’t until today, honestly).. anyone would know it’s obviously fake but not “played out fake”, plus I didn’t see any Gucci messenger bags on the website nor were there the color I have nor does my bag say Gucci anywhere on it.

Looking at the bag, it’s perfect for my needs in all honesty, and the material is wonderful.The way it’s made is quite sturdy and it’s only $3 for an nice, usable, good quality bag.

I am not into brands, like I said earlier, I didn’t even know this was a knockoff of Gucci’s pattern, but seeing that the pattern looks obviously fake compared to the real Gucci, I have no problem telling everyone I got it outside for only $3, it’s a designer “inspired” I actually wondered why some people looked at me today, I felt embarrassed when i realized it when I got home, but if my mother buys authentic name brands all the time and hates fakes, then this bag wouldn’t be considered so “fake” if she would wear it outside.

Absolutely not! I hate designer knockoffs. If you’re going to go through all the trouble to find a cheap fake pair, why not just get the real thing? You get your money’s worth: Designer sunglasses are high quality and usually handmade. They are authentic, genuine, and unique. I don’t just buy designer because I have the money to, I buy them because I like authenticity. My favorite designer labels are Gianni Versace (Vintage), Versace (Modern), Louis Vuitton, Guccio Gucci, Chanel, Coach, and Dolce & Gabbana. I don’t have a single pair of sunglasses that arent designer. Same with my cologne.

Never! I have a couple of authentic Louis Vuitton bags that I saved up for and finally purchased. If you can’t afford to buy real designer handbags, either save up for one or don’t purchase anything at all. Fakes are just tacky and you may think you’re trying to keep up carrying that fake around but the truth is it just makes you look cheap.

designer knockoffs are for people who want those famous new trends but don’t want to pay hundreds for them. whats so bad about that?! i bet if some one changed the tag to the the real brand you wouldn’t tell the difference and whats the point of it being a big brand, the product does the job either way. so stop trying to look rich cause at the end of it all its all the same shit.

Why buy a fake Louis when you can just save up to get a real one? C’mon guys, if you can’t afford an authentic purse then just settle for a non branded Target purse or something.

I don’t buy the fake one that are sold on the street, instead I buy them online. I have bought a classic Chanel 2.55 and a Balenciaga Motorcycle bag and I love them. It doesn’t mind me that they’re fake because they look like the real thing.

i think people didn’t understand the difference between a knock-off and a fake version of something. the first isn’t a copy, with big bold letters saying the name of the, though fake. the latter, however, is just something inspired by the brand ones, which is more affordable and “in fashion” and trendy, but not a fake version. i think it is cool there are knock-offs, mainly because they keep you trendy without having to spend a fortune just for the brand. after all, both pieces are pretty much the same, but the brand one is tagged for the brand itself. so i think people should stop bothering about knock-offs, but worry about the fake garments.
