I think the bigger scam are from these luxury brands.
-
The US spends more time and money protecting these luxury brands than it does its own citizens.
-
I don’t care about fake purses but I do care about fake electronics and pharmaceuticals. Those can be hazardous and sometimes people don’t know they are getting counterfeits. 😡
-
What a FIRST WORLD PROBLEM
-
Both the counterfeits and the "genuine" are scams. Both.
-
A very expensive purse is just a, wait for it, a purse.
-
This is nothing new honey, been going on for 20+ yrs. When I worked as a United Airlines flight attendant in the 90’s, we used to all go down to Canal Street in Manhattan and scoop up all the Guccis and Fendis. Some of the best purses I ever owned…were fakes.
-
It’s not worth it, get you a good counterfeit.
-
Yet these items are probably all being made in the same facility.
-
Lol no one has sympathy for these kinda of brands
-
There are stores in Thailand that will even give you legit receipts from stores paris and Milan
-
Anyone that pays $5000 for 10 bucks worth of leather really needs to re-examine their decision making skills.
-
I find it a bit outrageous that people want to walk around major cities carrying a $10,000 and up designer bag on their arm , you might as well carry a sign " Please mug me " . Secondly I really don't feel bad for these brands , they increase their prices at least twice a year so basically they are driving any potential customers to buy counterfeits .
-
imagine when a Birkin was 4k
-
I support counterfeits all the way! The elitist 1% fashion industry can cry all they want.
-
Get Your Dupe On 😂 especially when “luxury” these days is anything but well made
-
So what?
-
these luxury brands only sells their status symbol and the name, it seldom when comes on quality of their product for example, genuine LV bags costs $100+ for the materials and labor and slap it with an LV logo that makes the bag's value jack-up 10x+ as an aspiring bag maker, go and support your local leathercraft shops and get what your money's worth, luxury is an illusion
-
If you can’t tell the difference, what difference does it make? 😂
-
those poor extreme luxury brands are getting ripped off and I just hate to see it :(
