Replica Designer Handbags: Are They A Good Idea?

by Kenneth Cole Shoes on June 13, 2009

It’s a scenario that’s tempting – wearing your new designer handbag and having all your friends drooling over it.  When you look at the price of real designer handbags, this daydream is going to stay a fantasy for most of us.  But have you considered a replica designer handbag? 

Nowadays, the replicas are often so good that it takes a real expert to pick one.  It’s easy to get online, do a search and find plenty of places that sell replicas.  They come in almost every possible size, style, color and label.  And the price tag is a lot more acceptable to most of us.  That’s particularly true if you manage to grab a bargain on an auction site.

But is it a good idea to buy a replica designer handbag?  Or are you asking for problems?

The reality is that if you purchase your new bag from a questionable source, you’re taking a chance.  It’s quite likely it will be okay, but if you’re going to buy a replica, at least avoid the more dodgy methods of doing it.  You just don’t know what you’re buying, and there is no protection or recourse if you have a problem.  Be prepared for the possibility that your replica may be of less than average quality, and there’s not likely to be a lot you can do about it.

Having said that, if you buy from a reputable source it’s probable you’ll end up with a fake Fendi that’s so good that even you’ll struggle to believe you didn’t buy the real thing, and it should last a reasonable period of time too.  You don’t have to admit your secret to anyone unless you really feel you want to.

Another advantage to a replica designer handbag is that if it gets stolen, at least you’ve only blown a small amount of money.  Definitely not as bad as the pain you’d feel if you’d paid full price for a genuine designer handbag.  Still, be aware that designer handbags can be a magnet for thieves, so make sure you’re prepared in case it does get stolen.

Of course, there are bigger issues at stake here.  Often replica handbags are sourced in ways that may be dubious, and the way they’re sold means that tax is avoided.  This is not good for the economy.  And in the end, if everybody buys cheap replicas instead of the real thing, then the designers may decide to call it quits. 

Basically, the choice to buy a replica designer handbag is your alone.  If you’re happy to accept the risks for that moment of being the envy of all your friends, then do it!
