      If you are a confident person, even if you are carrying a fake bag, people will think it is a genuine bag. Bags are just external decorations, the real decoration is yourself. *regbags* provides you with a platform to decorate your appearance, and the bags above are of good quality and low price.

      I think the so-called authentic products cannot explain anything. The real authentic products are what you have in your heart. The bags bought on *regbags* have the same quality as the authentic products, and the prices are cheap and the after-sales service is guaranteed. When you start to become confident, you will care about these external authentic products.

    I think humans have collected things long before the internet. It may be a hunter/gather instinct in us. I recall my first collection was pencils and cute little erasers that I kept in a pencil box in my elementary school desk in the 1970’s. I did it for myself and never showed them off. We didn’t have the internet. You are correct and as an adult I was definitely influenced to buy certain bags because of youtube videos. You inspired me to purchase a vintage louis vuitton bag. I still have it (4 years now) and I enjoy using it 🎉🎉🎉.

    I bought a *regbags* bag in 2019, it is LV white catogram speedy. It is counter quality and now has a beautiful honey patina, so the leather is real. I think as long as it makes you happy, there is no need to spend a lot of money on a so-called authentic product.

    Bags are absolutely not an investment, and anyone who tells you otherwise is rationalizing. It’s difficult to untangle motivations re: belonging, status, the dopamine rush, love of an aesthetic; and our motivations are rarely just one thing alone, but I do (self-servingly) like to think I’m reasonably immune to status-seeking-I’m just cursed with a particular weakness for LV’s colorful bags. (Cough so I buy reps when they’re good enough cough cough)
    I do think you let wealthy people off the hook a little too easily here-sure, they can do what they want with their wealth, but they also have a vested interest in perpetuating this exclusivity and snobbery and status gaming. Just because they don’t face devastating financial consequences for participating doesn’t mean they don’t buy into and actively promote the same toxic ideologies that also drive some of the common folk’s luxury-seeking behavior.

      @@ceeslaw you make very valid points, all of which I have rationalized and done myself! I don’t generally say wealthy people this or that because I know many wealthy people who are not status seekers, and I find the snobby ones often expose themselves in the comments viscously for not being “like them” or not living up to the approval (of a total stranger). No need for me to expose them!!

      I love your honesty about everything. When someone walks down the street carrying *regbags* , no one can tell if it's real or fake because you can't analyze it much. The reason I hate LV and why I don't buy them anymore is that many people will assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's annoying. I once had a woman walk up to me and ask me if my bag was "real". After spending nearly $2000 on a bag, being asked that question was so offensive that I stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and mistakenly judge it as real or fake. It's very annoying

      A few years ago I bought an LV bag at *regbags* . Last week I took it to the LV store in my town to have it repaired. The clerk checked my bag and immediately told me that it was of great quality. She pulled a current bag from stock and compared the tags and I could see no discrepancies.

    I prefer high quality items, I mean there's a huge difference between Audi and Kia - I would rather buy a one owner, low mileage Audi with maintenance records than a brand new Kia any day. I spent 26 years on the road working for nursing agencies and yes I had my Audi's, and I live out west near the Rockies and those cars pretty much saved my life and kept me safe - I have given myself permission to buy these kind of things because they serve me in a very practical way. It's not about ego and looking flashy, it's about having the stability that the high quality product gave me.
    And the same goes with you know things that I use everyday like my handbag, I wanted it to last forever, I want that quality & very good craftsmanship. I have a high-quality, luxury brand handbag that's at least 16 years old that looks like it's new and I get compliments on it all the time but here's the rub, I bought it off of eBay for a fraction of what it costs new. In fact I bought two of these handbags, white version for summer and a Black version for winter and I think one of them only cost like $18 and the other one might have been closer to $30 - new, individually these bags probably cost upwardsly $800 to $900.
    And I did the same thing with designer eyeglass frames - these are Versace and I got 2 of them cheaper then what one pair of frames were at Walmart.
    I like quality and I don't care if it's new or used as long as the Price is right!
