1. Expensive bags must be authentic. 

Some sellers sell replicas at prices close to the originals, tricking buyers looking for authentic. To avoid scams, they would purchase authentic only from the authorized retailers. The challenge is that “1:1”copy bags are extremely difficult to distinguish from the originals and could deceive even seasoned buyer. 

People should know just how real high fake designer bags can look. Sometimes, you can only spot the tiny differences by comparing them side by side with the authentic. So, it's not surprising that so much kind of scams happens all the time.

 

2. Fake bags are bad for health. 

In the past, perhaps, but it's no longer the case. Fake bags have had a quantitative leap in terms of quality. Now, you can get some really nice material bags for an appropriate cost. However, these low-quality bad fake bags still exist. Just be cautious not to buy cheap, inferior products (you can usually smell strong chemical smell as soon as you open the packing).

 

3. The best fake bags produce in France, Italy or other European countries.

The truth is almost all fake luxury bags are made in Asia, especially in China. Trying to make and sell replicas in Europe is more expensive and risky. The chances of getting busted are way higher.

This whole “made in Europe” story is just a trick to make you think you're getting something more legit because it's supposedly made in Europe. But it is impossible.

 

4. You could get arrested by the police for buying fake bags online.

In US,Europe, and the world, buyers typically won't get arrested for purchasing fake bags since law enforcement usually targets sellers rather than buyers. In China, producers who are caught are usually warned and fined. Unless the quantity and amount are huge, one will not go to jail.

 

5. Purchasing fake luxury bags supports terrorism and crime.

I am not sure where the“supports terrorism and crime”thing came from? Every time I see content like this I think, “It's just a bag, not a gun or bomb." The issue is trivial and absurd. These unsubstantiated attempts to draw links to actually serious issues like terrorism, crime etc. merely highlight the lack of depth of the named concern.

 

6. All fake bags are pretty much the same. Where you get them from doesn't really matter. 

Saying all fake bags are the same is like saying all food taste the same. Don't make the mistake of thinking every fake bag is like the ones you spot at a local flea market or second hand website. Some are one glance fake very poor quality, and some are seriously impressive for high replica,nearly to the originals.

 

7. The best super fake bag is 100% identical to the authentic one.

Even the best fake designer bags out there are still going to be about 1% difference from the real one, and that gap only gets bigger with lower-quality fakes. There's no such thing as a 100% perfect knockoff.

If you're looking for absolute perfection, you only need to buy from authentic boutique.

 

8. Super fake bags can pass as authentic items, even under expert examination.

Just like we talked about before, even the best replicas have their differences from the real deal. Plus, some brands use microchips, a quick scan reveals if it's genuine or not. More and more replicas also have microchips to scan, but there is only one registered number for authentic.

Honestly, using a bit of common sense, you'd know that it is not true. If fake bags could pass for the real thing so easily, why would replica sellers even bother with selling them as fakes? They'd just sell them as originals for larger profit.

 

9. Another kind of replica is called a “clone,” which is an exact duplicate made using better-quality materials.

In my decades of experience buying replicas, I've never heard of anything called a “clone." obviously, it's just another routine to sell replicas. Besides,when you see terms like “100% copy”,“Authentic original order”or “exact,” it's a sign that the seller is trying to deceive you.

 

10. Good sellers mean good quality replica bags.

Yeah, that makes sense in an ideal world. But let's be real, we're living in a realistic world. Just like shopping anywhere else, there's always a chance you might end up with disappointment, even with good sellers.

No one can make sure even the best sellers or factories won't mess up sometimes. A good seller doesn't always mean you're getting a perfect replica. But good seller will help you more and make things right, giving you that nice customer service.

 

11. Traveling with fake bags can get them confiscated by customs.

Those laws are basically to discourage people from buying and selling replicas within the country. Customs is more concerned about prohibited agricultural stuff than your fake bag. Airport security isn't there to check if your bag is real or not; they're mainly focused on preventing things like terrorism and drug smuggling.

Your bag is just a piece of leather, not drugs, a weapon, or hazardous chemicals, so no one's going to confiscate it, that'd be theft. So you don't need to worry about that.

 

12. Serial numbers are a surefire sign of authenticity, so fake bags don't have serial numbers.

Serial numbers, dust bags, and tags can all be faked. So, don't put too much trust in those anti-counterfeit features. The technology of imitation is becoming increasingly advanced.

 

13. Fake designer bags are made of cheap PU leather or flimsy plastics.

It depends on the tier of the bag. Generally, high-tier bags use genuine leather, which also means they come with a higher price. If you're getting a cheap knockoff from a flea market or DHgate, there's probability made from cheap PU leather or flimsy plastics.

 

14.Making fake cheap designer bags often means using sweatshop workers.

After dealing with a variety of factories and understanding more about the industry, I can certainly tell that replica bags are not made by sweatshop workers - they are made by legitimate employees in a factory setting, just like regular items.

Maybe there are some knock-off bags linked to sweatshops, but authentic bags can also be made under bad conditions in less developed countries.

 

15. They only fake new bags, all vintage bags are authentic.

When replica bag makers typically focus on producing current popular and trendy styles, it doesn't mean they won't also replicate vintage bags. Whether a particular bag gets replicated isn't determined by its age but rather by demand. If a vintage style suddenly becomes popular, it's hard to imagine replica bag makers missing out on a lucrative opportunity.
