I used to a long time ago but then realized quality was not great. I’m sure the “dupes” have gotten better over the years. Would love to try again but there’s something to be said about having a genuine item too.

The dupe game has changed if you know what you’re looking for. The not so high quality really shows in more mainstream pieces like the Neverfull, Dior saddle, etc.

I’d say invest in nice pieces, especially any that will appreciate in value, or any unique limited edition pieces and find nice dupes for those trendy pieces that won’t go with anything you wear in 2 years lol

That’s a good idea

No, I’m an IP lawyer and don’t need to get myself canceled for being a hypocrite.

I don’t do much in the fashion space, but I do a ton of copyright and trademark infringement work so it would be a bad look 🤣

Best place is Eastern European bizarres, Morocco, dubai. Got a large classic Chanel bag that fooled allllll of my boujie friends (seriously they have no idea). It’s real leather and extremely good quality.

Not bad at all! I purchased a pretty good quality channel for $400 and I think it looks like the real deal
I just get coach and call it a day bc I’m poor

Not bags, but clothing and accessories yes.
That episode happened to me IRL. My parents would also haggle for the fake Gucci bags. Very embarrassing!
No, but I’ve always been into design, art, etc. and counterfeit things generally bother me. Not necessarily judging others, but it’s my view on things that talented people design and artisans construct. Also, I intend to take care for and give my Chanel, Hermes and LV bags to my daughter one day. When I was in college a friend gave me a fake Gucci bag and it didn’t last beyond a few months. My first LV never full is going on 15 years and still looks great.
Nope not that shallow. Maybe a look alike but never a fake. Either pay for the brand if that’s what you really want, otherwise just get a nice bag/jacket/whatever that has quality craftsmanship but doesn’t have the designer mark up.
The quality always stands out to me so I can tell they’re fake. I buy things for the quality more so than the brand.

I wonder how many people look at the details

Shoes!!! I have a pair of real Dior sneakers and got a dupe in a different color for 1/10 of the price and they look nearly identical. Same with loubs if I’m wearing them in a dark gross club I’d rather wear the dupes.
Handbags I’m too afraid people would notice so I buy real there. But curious how true my phobia is lol
Nope. I personally find that to be pretty tacky. If you can’t afford it move on and buy something you can, or just save up/ buy fewer. I opt to buying fewer of the real stuff.
Pro
SC1 totally agree with you. My salary isn’t that high but I can still afford most of the bags and what not. I just know that I like to get bags often and don’t wear them too much so for me it isn’t worth that investment of 3k and above.
Off topic but can I ask what you do in TC?
I have a few dupes, I invest in good classic (and leather/intricate woven) pieces but get dupes for the trendier items. Like I’m not going to drop 2k on a nylon purse, so I got the dupe for the Prada 2005 Re-Edition.
Pro
You can get dupes made from the same materials that are quite close and actually good quality - most shops will sell raw materials once the item is out of season (nothing branded of course)
No but I don’t want the real things either. I do not understand the appeal.
Everyone check out RepLadies Reddit page. The dupes nowadays are such high quality.
Dubai!!! I got a YSL , high quality bag. We love dupes 😊
I own an old Canada Goose I bought in Shanghai 5 years ago, warmest thing I've ever worn

I used to but then I really got duped into having the real thing; I just save for an specific one then buy it; I don’t go crazy in buying either; or let someone give to me as gift😆

Nope, I buy the very high quality Italian bags from lesser known brands on sale
