I have a designer bag and got it at a local store for full price.
Many women get their bags from Ali for cheap.

I definitely buy my bags on the secondary market. I appreciate having some nice rich lady warm up my bag for me.

I honestly always wonder this. Im not poor, and I'll spend about $250 on a bag, but I have friends whose bags I KNOW cost in the $2-3000 range. They dont sell them cheaper!
Im talking YSL, chanel, goyard...
and I cant stand fakes. I would rather have a non-brand than a fake. There is something about wearing a fake designer that really really rubs me the wrong way

Nothing wrong with buying second hand, but even those are a few thousand!

I’m with you, I wouldn’t wear a fake. I would rather wear $50 no name brand.

100 percent!

Anyone considering buying a knock-off bag should know that the sale of fake designer bags is a significant income stream for a lot of bad people in the world -- various terrorist organizations, people involved in slave trading, people involved in child trafficking, etc.

So you're not just cheating a wealthy designer or design house, you're actually subsidizing some of the worst criminals in the world.

And if that doesn't motivate you to avoid buying a knock-off, consider that true handbag aficionadas/os will judge you mercilessly if they notice you're carrying a fake bag.

I guess it depends which designer. I always buy Coach bags. Usually full price, but I actually purchased my current bag at the Coach outlet for a fraction of their full price, so I think I’ll be shopping there from now on. Obviously this designer is a lot more affordable than the others mentioned. I agree 100% about knockoffs. Either buy the real thing or just skip the whole designer thing.

I have 2 real designer bags. I don't do fake designer. More likely to use a cheap non-brand or a canvas book bag, than fake brand.

who decides what's a designer knockoff of what's just a quality looking bag that's well priced??

I can't afford designer bags, but am I not allowed to buy a designer looking bag?

I don't understand.
