Note from the editor: This original post focused on Baghaus.com’s collection of designer handbags. Baghaus.com has sadly closed. It’s 2017, and this article has been updated to reflect other online shops that sell high-quality purses at low prices.
Knock-off Versus Designer Inspired
What is the difference between these two bags? It’s a replica bag, not an original. You could dress up as Marilyn Monroe for Halloween. Everyone knows that you look just like Marilyn, but are not.
A knock-off bag is one that looks like the real deal. When a Bradley Cooper-like lookalike crashed Sundance Film festival, did you remember? This guy is a fake, as he was trying to trick people into believing he was The Real Bradley Cooper.
We would all rather avoid the moral dilemma of buying a knockoff. A piece that is inspired, however, seems to be a bit less disgusting.
What to buy?
Where can you find “inspired” versions your favourite handbags? You probably already buy fashionable clothes at affordable prices. Offline, try:
- The target is to increase the number of people who are able to use this language.
- Forever 21
- Charlotte Russe
- H&M
Browse Ebay or GoJane.
Replica Bags – the Weird Middle Ground
There’s still one option if you aren’t satisfied with the options available. It’s a replica, which is sold by the seller as fake but appears to be real. You decide what you think about it. Shop at your own peril. I have not been to either of these retailers. If you have to, you can still find these purses at the following retailers:
- PurseValley offers replicas for the world’s most popular designer brands, such as Prada, Valentino and Chloe.
- AAA Handbags also has a list of designer bags such as Cartier and Fendi.
