Replicas of designer bags - Yay or Nay?

[glamourous21]

Inspired is ok with me, but a replica.. trying to make a fake? is.. no-no.

I agree that inspired is acceptable. but definitely not replica.

Yup agree with u ladies, replica is a BIG NO NO, its kinda trying to hard. and better not carry a replica, else run into trouble with law

basically dun think there's anything wrong with buying an inspire bag if u like the design...

i mean so long as its not a fake bags with the logo displayed outright then its ok..

i got mine at http://mspinklemonade/blogspot.com under "workaholic" section for a balagencia inspire bag and it works fine for me with the easy to tolerant price tag which is affordable for a poor student like me and not those branded one which is easily in the thousands...

My friend just bought a deep purple inspired balacienga bag for $370 at this shop in far east plaza call 2cm. But i read it in one of the thread that you will get fine for carrying fake bags isn't it?

I will not buy replicas... Many people are surprised to hear about what their money might be funding if they purchase a counterfeit item. Counterfeits are ILLEGAL. Counterfeit items are not only detrimental to companies, but are also known to provide financing for drug traffiking, terrorist activities (yes, including those against the USA), child labor and other illegal operations.

Replica or fake is not acceptable to me, inspired instead of plagiarize is okay too. That's only me

If someone buys a replica and wears it, I'm ok. But if the person wears it and flaunt is as a genuine thing, I am not ok. Everybody has their own choice so it is up to the person to decide what they want to wear. I personally am satisfied with good quality leather bags; designer or not.

[hafiezismail]

Totally agree with you. The attitude of the person who wears it is most important

But how would we know if that person is carrying Replicas bag just by one look ?
As nowadays, the "standard" and "quality" of the Replicas bag is so good that we can only know after we scrutinize the bag in detail.

It's you who carry the bag, never let the bag carry you. As long as you feel good carrying the bag, it doesn't really matter whether you paid thousands for the real thing for less than a hundred for the inspired version.

Someone who lets the bag carry her is one who's carrying the real stuff but makes people think otherwise.
