Ooh, topical question! I suppose the best way to answer this question is by asking one in return! If you bought a fake for any reason except for the price difference -- what do you expect to get from the deal?
Would you buy a fake for any other reason than price?
Thinking honestly -- I can't think of any reason other than 'making a saving' for buying a fake bag.
After all, surely one of the biggest problems with buying a fake bag is the knowledge that it won't be made of the same quality material or build? If it doesn't fall apart within the first 4 -- 6 weeks, then you're lucky. I'd be awfully surprised to find your luck extending much beyond two to three months at most.
Even if the bag doesn't literally fall to pieces, the appearance of it will change hugely. Edges will fray and tear, stitches will pull and shred and the general appearance of the bag will dull, the leather losing it's rigidity and ability to hold the shape it's supposed to!
So the bag that you bought for $150 as opposed to $600 has given you about three to four months use before it is starting to look embarassing, quite frankly!
Now, maybe you could buy three of the same bag, save $150 and have something you wouldn't feel to ashamed to be seen with for up to a year. Just bin the old ruined one, change your bag for a new one each quarter and you're away.
But that sort of puts you onto the timescale where the authentic designer handbag is just starting to be broken in.
It's gaining suppleness, the leather trims are starting to age and patina, going that gorgeous golden honey color that indicates quality leather. The bag has a used and loved look about it without any of the nasty signs of wear and tear that an inferior version will have.
And this is one of the biggest reasons for the price being what it is.
Quality.
Quality of build and quality of materials used.
Authentic designer handbags are built to last -- sometimes they'll last a lifetime and beyond, making it a family heirloom that's passed down from daughter to daughter.
It is very common for Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags to be in a family for decades -- being used and loved all the time.
Some of the newer Louis Vuitton lines, such as the Suhali, can be expected to outlast just about anything else.
It's the quality of the leather you see!
Another good reason for buying authentic and not a fake?
You.
Yes -- you! You're important. You don't think so?
(Well, I think you are, even if no one else tells you so!)
You deserve something to be proud of, something that stands you out in a crowd and says "Hey -- Look at me, I've got taste AND class!" That's what an authentic designer handbag will shout for you -- no need for you to get a sore throat all the time.
I wonder what a fake shouts out about you?
Careful now - it might be rather rude!!!
