Fake Or Replica Handbags - Why Buy Them?

   Is your designer handbag real or fake? This question is asked of a lot of things, among them handbags. Whether your Louis Vuitton is real or fake is your business, nobody's else. Obviously, if your LV is fake, you will probably eagerly correct anyone that hints that it is not. After all, you paid little money for the bag, and might be terrified, that someone would assume it is a replica.

   At the same time, if your bag were fake, would you really tell people that it is a fake? Would you tell them by purchasing a replica, instead of the real thing, that you knowingly took money away from the designers that created the real handbag? How about mentioning, that the money you spent for the bag possibly went to some cheats? Or that the manufactures of your fake bag could have used their handbag business to transport thousands of dollars worth of illegal drugs into the country? No doubt you would mention any of these things to your friends...

   I know it sounds harsh, but knowingly buying a replica handbag is wrong. (Note: buying replica handbags is not illegal but selling them is, the same goes for so called fake handbags.) Some designers like Gucci, Kate Spade, Chanel and Hermes charge so much for their product because they are highly sought after and they are made from quality materials. Bags by these designers are made by hand. Also, these designers spend millions on advertising, customer care, quality assurance and research. By buying a replica handbag, you are taking money directly from these designers.

   Buying replicas also compromises the US economy. Companies that sell replica handbags often do so as cash based, tax free business. If you have bought a replica handbag before, think back, did you pay tax for on the purchase? Most fake handbags are sold illegally. We all know that authentic designer handbags are expensive, but that doesn’t mean you should buy fake designer handbag. Just because something is not affordable, is no reason to steal from the company that manufactures the product.
