- Deep down, we all want to be trendy. We all want to be stylish. We all want to show off our latest, trendiest designer handbags. And more often than not, our budget is not on par with this desire - which inevitably leads us to embrace the super fakes. But, is it really the only option out there to keep up with the trends? Are we obliged to the super fake handbags?

It’s one thing to purposely buy a super fake, but a whole other level of fraud when people are tricked into believing they are buying the real thing.
Usually you can tell something is fake by the price. So if it is cheap then it is probably a fake.
@@YingjunRuan-hd6em Sure, I’d assume anyone watching this channel would know that, but there are people that just don’t know. It’s a brand name they’ve heard of, though not truly familiar with, and the price is much higher than any bag they have ever bought, so it seems reasonable to them they might be getting a great deal. I see this a lot when buying consignment/resell.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for*preluxscom* ,their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me.
My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *hotdups* are my go-to.
Of course, it's not worth paying $10,000 to design its name. People should know this. *gtdupe*
The criticisms of superfakes are also applicable to authentic ones: shoddy craftsmanship, low quality materials, labor exploitation.
Exactly! As if big fashion brands were never, ever sued for tax fraud, poor labour conditions, etc. Actually, that has happened to many of them
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm so happy someone said it!! People wearing Nike shoes want to look down on my super fake bag? Get real! 🤣
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in*preluxscom* Go shopping.
My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *hotdups* are my go-to.
100% ~ Designer bags have now become low quality but with sky high prices.
Some superfakes actually use not just fabrics that mimic leather but actually sometimes the real leather type used by the brand, like using top grain or Togo leather to mimic Hermes. And not only that, the Hermes super fakes sometimes are stitched with the same saddle stitch technique. Those super fakes are what the rich ladies in NY are buying.
And they’re not cheap either. A really good super fake Hermes bag is like $1000+
all of my reps are leather and look/feel the same as the OG. Superfakes are just a term resellers use to mean grade A lmao
$20,000 to $30,000 can help shelter and feed homeless families. Why waste so much money? *hotdups* is your right choice
I can honestly say that I never wear or carry anything that I think others will notice when I walk, or that I think looks good on me. I just don't care. *jklux*
@@RosemaryCummings-vr5nzI purchased many authentic bags, and it was a waste of money. Not to mention… trying to resell these bags is a nightmare.
Designer handbags costing $20 000 are the real criminals. Go the superfakes. The bag main function is to carry things. Designer handbags costing $20 000 should be illegal.
Omg I agree ❤
Some super fakes are better quality than the originals too 🤦♀️
Why should it be illegal? It's not criminal, it's business. Any business can charge whatever they want for their goods and services. No one is forcing anyone to pay for those goods and services. It's funny that you're saying that's criminal, while telling people to buy fake bags. I have nothing against fakes, but after having one once and feeling like a fraud, I'll never carry a fake again.
@@totesgene Buying fake designer bags is a F-ck you to all these designer brands that are ripping us off.
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*preluxscom* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
This video is very manipulative. It puts the blame on consumer of fakes, while ignoring the real roots of the problem:
1) consumerism - everyone is pressed to buy more
2) very fast changing trends, supported by fashion brands
3) shady business practices, used by brands only a bit less, than by producers of fakes (remember, Dolce & Gabbana were on trial for tax fraud?)
4) Bad economy, especially affecting the middle class
5) Environmental issues - are you serious? There are oil spills in this world, as well as fast fashion industry, fast food industry, etc. But, of course, it's my fake or real handbag that should be perceived as a crime against the environment! Just next to my tampons, I suppose. Please, leave women alone and notice the elephants in the room.
6) Health risks - mentioning them is pure misleading. I don't normally lick my bags! I also never eat them, don't cook food ibside them, almost never smell them and definitely not inject them internally. Stop fear mongering, get real!
7) Fashion brands losing their income, because people by fakes instead of the real things: nope, people who buy fakes or superfakes do so, because they cannot afford the real ones. So, no lost income here. If anything, buyers of fakes provide free advertising to the brands (and maybe it's time they start charging them for it, he-he).
You have way more critical thinking skills and intelligence than half the internet these days. Great comment 👏
Thank you, @@notme1255😊
I suppose, the last part of the comment was lost. So, the health risks. First, leather production has never been particularly famous for being bad for the environment, it's true. But the nrands are just as guilty here, that the producers of fakes, if not more, because of the scale of their business. Secondly, I personally don't lick my bags, barely sniff them and definitely don't eat them. So, really, how much harm can they cause?
Not condoning superfakes, but when you consider how people are posting about their genuine Chanel bags falling appart on their first use, I think we can all agree that the "craftsmanship" that once made these brands a luxury has left the chat, and therefore, their current quality can be paralleled to cheap knockoffs. With it, buying a cheaper bag makes much more sense when you are going to get the same number of wears out of the item. Solution: Buy vintage if you love the style and brand, or buy from leather artisans, that will often have expert craftsmanship without the big name price tag. Just my two cents.
The Reality:
The replica market is literally just Chinese manufacturers and distributors, there's nothing sinister. Its completely similar to the way anything is manufactured and sold in China. They pay their workers wages similar to any other manufacturing position. It is ridiculous to say that we are hurting luxury brands, they have been abusing their customer base with price increases and decreasing quality standards for many years. Almost all luxury designers fall under 2 parent companies anyway at this point, so who are we hurting? I wear my replicas into all the most prestigous stores; I only receive compliments and ass kissing for a sale. I check to make sure they are indistinguishable, and no one has ever even hinted at them being fake. I'll proudly tell anyone my bag is fake, I'm not the sucker who will pay $10k for a Chanel lol. When I tell people my bags are fake, they always thinks its super cool and want to find out how to get one.
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*jklux* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
Yes yes yes! I mean! When people will stop with the exploitation thing that’s a thing from 20
Years ago!!!! Come on I know people in China that make’s jewelry not replicas just jewelry… and have their own little bussines … and if we continue to believe this narrative we will hurt this people that have a companie of they’re own and support their family etc stop this
I own a mix of both authentic and fake bags and the material and craftsmanship of the fakes is improving and surpassing that of the original ones. I bought an authentic Fendi and the material is horrendous, it broke quickly €1000 down the drain
Where do you source your fakes from? Can you please share details.
Any contact number?

Agree that the answer is to have your own style and not follow the same handful of top brands. Lots of great designers making interesting bags with great quality out there.
I would rather buy preloved or vintage bags than buy counterfeits.
Honey I second that motion. This or mid range luxury which has excellent quality 👜🛍
@@kalinnaslay exactly 💯
@@DerekBarrett-zo8ub BAHAHAHA. Darling, if you paid $100 you got a piece of crap!
@@kalinnaslay mid range it’s my way to go. I do respect a lot vintage and pre owned but I prefer s new mid range bag.
Pre owned it’s the most ethical since it’s basically recycling, it’s helping for a bag to not be thrown to the trash and get a new use but I don’t like much online shopping and having thoughts that probably I was scammed. that’s why I prefer getting a coach, or my favorite brand so far longchamp in a regular store.
But even a Zara bag is better than counterfeit.
Love the fake bags. They are made just a beautifully and it’s just a pocketbook that shouldn’t costs 10,000 or more anyway

Love*jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other UA-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
do you have instagram account
I prefer to have no designer bag than to wear a fake one.
Agree.
@@BuyLessJessMe too.
So a "fake" designer handbag is not a bag?
@@YingjunRuan-hd6em It's a "fake" bag, and it's illegal.
@CandiceDisalvo I agree, the price increase is unacceptable anymore.
I prefer investing in vintage, pre-owned luxury handbags with unique character and timeless design over purchasing poorly crafted counterfeits that are easily identified as fakes. 👜
I prefer investing in a replica that is 1:1 with the orginal that I can resell for a profit of a few hundred once I am done with it.

one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!
Buying the authentic or not, it only shows how much markup these conglomerates are charging you to fund their vip/ influencer trips and campaign if a fake can be 99% identical .
Whatever the reason, my point is: nothing is worth ten thousand dollars. The end of the story. I will continue to purchase my *hotdups* bags.
There's no proof on the organised crime stuff. Autumn Beckman has tried looking and can only find rumours so the brands might've started it and be playing or making both sides.
Everyone should be allowed to buy whatever they want. You think the luxury brand industry are clean? Think again
Not all super fakes are equal. The terrible labour, the inferior craftsmanship, the cheaper materials, don't belong in the super fake category. A 500 USD replica Birkin is not the same as a 1000+ USD Birkin, and it's exactly the said differences that set them apart.
Actually, they are all produced in the same factory. Sometimes the quality of counterfeit goods is much better than that of genuine ones: *hotdups*

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the*jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I started buying designer bags for my wife and researched a lot of brands , no need to buy for thousand’s when there are loads of quality products from reputable companies that look just as chic and luxurious than the over expensive ones , but of course if it has to be a Chanel or Hermes than that’s what you pay
The sad part is even when I buy authentic bags someone because I am African American will assume it’s fake.But some people think the bag I bought from *hotdups* is genuine.

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the*jklux* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Before I was able to afford luxury, the only bag I owned and bought was a large Longchamp le Pliage that I used for everyday. My sisters gifted me a Coccinelle bag for the evenings or nice events. Those were my only bags for long time, until I built my career and savings/emergency funds, etc. I don't see the appeal in owning a fake, I don't care about being seeing with a designer bag. If I know I am carrying a fake, I would feel like I am lying.
While I understand the legal aspects such as IP infringement, I personally question how comparable replica factories are to factories of fast fashion brands. So many people purchase from brands such as Zara, H&M, Mango, Primark, and Shein, which haven't had the best track record in terms of appropriate working conditions, but then turn around and talk about how unethical it is to purchase replicas. In addition to this, I've heard a lot about how the quality of high-end replicas surpass the quality of authentic goods, which should never be the case. I also think that people should shift from only talking about replica apparel and put more emphasis on the dangers of replica cosmetics and perfume. While the market for those products may not be as large as replica handbags, it's still circulating and may even end up being sold to unsuspecting buyers.
I’ve considered super fakes to buy cheap luxury materials , such as coated canvas and nylon styles. Simply because the prices and low quality of luxury brands boggle my mind. On the one hand I don’t have to feel guilty for buying very expensive fashionable junk…but then I know myself, and can’t bring myself to wear fake.
Im with everyone who is team contemporary brands and I’m so happy to see many here.
This comments section so quite refreshing on not supporting counterfeit or fakes, im glad we all here who can’t afford designer like Candy we either prefer vintage or contemporary brands.
I see so many videos on the fake topics and all fake good UA-cam vendors are in them.
I loved your video and your comments section on how we either buy luxury straight from the boutique, second hand or go with contemporary brands ( which Is my way or my choice)
But again I’m excited we are all team Originals.
No need to buy fake LV when there is so many grate companies that make grate bags for much lessc…
the people producing these fakes are the vip clients of these luxury brands! they buy the new season
items then copy or replicate them in their factories.
getting aaa grade quality bags is actually pretty difficult, especially if you aren't very expirienced or don't live in china lol
No logo for me, just good quality. But if I was into logos, I would definately consider super fakes because the quality is the same but so much cheaper.
The quality is not the same. I have had a few super fakes and I have many authentic bags. The quality of fakes is not even remotely the same as the quality of authentic bags. They are made with cheaper materials.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *hotdups* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
What I don’t get is if you don’t want to spend thousands on a luxury bag, don’t! But a nice contemporary brand bag like a Coach or Tory Burch bag. They’re just as nice IMO.
Dupes, preloved or vintage: yes. Counterfeit: NEVER! 👜
Surely they're so different from originals that discerning ladies immediately spot them.
In EU, if the merch has a label but it's a counterfeited label, you, the owner might need to pay a big fine, like thousands of euros).
I wonder how that can happen, technically. Imagine, one day I walk down the street somewhere, say, in Amsterdam. A policeman stops me: "Ma'am, may I see the label of your bag, please? I suppose it might be counterfeit. Oh, unfortunately, it is - here's your 10K euro fine!" 😅 Is it real? Can I just tell him to keep his hands off my bag? 😂
@@mariad.b.6344 It was a bad fake, some time ago they'd just put Gucci or Dior on any bag, even when they weren't even remotely looking like the label. It was a German woman who bought such Gucci bag and paid 2000 EUR fine, something like 15 ys ago.
The term superfake is a marketing scam used by resellers, they are just AAA grade replicas. That is how the industry calls top quality replicas. If its called a "superfake" you are getting ripped off
I love the good quality super fakes. I’ll never spend thousands of $$ on designer brands ever again. The authentic ones only cost about what you’d pay for a super fake to make anyway. If the super fake is almost identical to the real one? Get it. And save your $2000-6000 for something important
I am bit confused in general about fake designer bags. I would think this problem could be avoided if you order directly from the source of the brand you are interested especially regarding the higher end stuff or a reputable 3rd party seller (like Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom) of those goods.
Superfakes should be made legal. Legalizing superfakes would ensure safer imitation bags are made while ensuring people who are making these bags are employed. And have a living wage. And the genuine bags are sold at much cheaper prices. Making the bags much more affordable. Legalizing superfakes would also put an end to using superfakes to hide funds obtained from other illegal activities.
So if you worked really hard to create something, putting a lot of time, effort and money into it, you'd be ok if I stole your design and sold it for 1/10th of the price? Come on!
1. It's hilarious that there are fake Michael Kors bags.
2. I buy authentic but it's not to show off. It's because I love these brands - their designs, their quality (yes I know there are issues) and their heritage. I have considered buying a fake Birkin or Kelly, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I have had a fake in the past that I've never carried, because it didn't make me feel good. It wasn't a Dior bag, it was a bag that said Christian Dior across it.
3. I'd rather have a real Coach, Senreve, Basile, Aspinal or countless other more affordable brands that put out quality items.
For me the fascination of luxury fashion and lately handbags is mainly the craftsmanship and timeless design. Like what makes a piece timeless and how material, proportions and accessories create a cohesive design.
That’s why I learned how to make these things myself. I thought a lot about it and I own a few second hand mid level luxury pieces (which have been worth their money) but the current prices are simply not worth it anymore. At a 3000€ price point for a bag, I can take the time out of my day to work on a piece and buy materials and still have some of that 3000€ left.
I don’t plan on selling any of the inspired pieces I make and I won’t buy a fake, it’s against my morals but I also don’t want to contribute to these companies success.
Ou and let’s add the bags both the “real ones” and the “fake ones” are made in China by the same people so buying any of them is the same
Super Fake Are Not For Me I’m Super Excited To Shop And Buy My Dream Bags…
Yeah the Dior scandal , balanceiga scandal that’s who you want t9 give your money too
Totally
But creators come here and still say hey it’s a crime buy the real one, the one that it’s actually proveen that is braking the law
I think there’s a place for both
The problem I see specially in NYC is that with the super high rise in crime, wherein punks go inside restaurants buses and subways/streets and ask for your wallet, watch, clothes, shoes, WHY risk it if you have a literal target there is no need to go to a store, go to the better restaurants/stores/areas. (If any are available) and just ask for your pricey bag! I do not wear my jewelry when going out, the minute someone walks where you are eating they go around checking what you havee and ask to take it all!!! is it worth it? I think not.
I rather carry something vintage authentic than to carry a fake.
The best of the best replica bags. Are luchentic quality.They use the very same leather and crafts people from the designer brands. And workers steal the hardware. They are extremely hard to get. I have 2 a versace wich is a medium tote. Withe metalic medusa.l paud 500 for. And a large Channel tote which was 750. I have a friend whos huspand got her a genuine Channel tote in the same calf skin and he paid 20,00. She was so upset when she saw mine and compared to hers said never bying authentic again. But l could never get a hold of the person l bought my bags from 😢
I was in China and needed an extra travel bag and it was cheaper to buy the knock off Prada nylon bag than a regular black nylon bag ( I ripped off the fake Prada logo plate and tossed it)
Love *hotdups* bag. This has to be the best, most detailed bag authentication ever on UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing
Lots of counterfeits are openly advertised as discounted luxury brand goods on Facebook. Strangely Facebook condoned these advertisements.

waste of money just to belong 😅
Jesus is coming back. Are you born again? If not, secure your eternity today. You do not have to go to hell. Jesus paid the price for all your sins. If you want to be born again Say the following prayer but you also have to believe it:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins that you was buried and rose from the dead the third day. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.

I’ve never been able to figure out if there’s a way to message content creators directly. But if there is, I’d love to share my thoughts with you #myperspective !
No fake goods. I love real designer goods or just regular quality goods. I can't relate.
you do not understand how big corporations on high end product do misleading quality and prices . YOU are literally paying mostly the name than the quality itself. yes theres a problem on how people percieved if someone is using big brands . They want you to feel good if you used there brand and overpricing the goods. RIch people are not smarter and buy high end fake products to have same image at fracture of the price. WHose fault. it s..??
you tell me

ok superfake is okay but the original bag or jewerly you can resell and fake you can not
