    I don’t mind people buying fakes. Luxury brands often also exploit people and are big polluters. We should all just buy less tbh

      And the brands that make fakes like Shein for example don't exploit? Lol ok

      I used to think that owning a luxury bag was a non-existent part of my life, until *hotdups* told me that I was actually very close to it. Fashion sense does not only come from the brand, but also from personal matching and attitude.

      Regarding the value for money, this is already my third (but not the last) purchase of *hotdups* bags. I have no reason to regret it.

      It’s mainly French fashion houses leading apparent luxury brands, where did the French gain and maintain their wealth from and which African nation are currently being raped of resources and have their currency controlled by France? Drop the answer and then we’ll get into what the world thinks about the counterfeit world as it seems very much karma works at every level of life you steal and take advantage of others wealth a day will come someone somewhere takes advantage of yours too and in the modern day it seems we have china to thank for the gigantic karma being put on those fashion houses today! ‘Wherever there’s money and resources there are politics’

    I have both authentic and fake bags, and to be quite honest, I am not opposed to people having fakes. As long as they’re open about it, of course. But I get loving a design, but being absolutely not able to ever afford it for yourself and having your heart broken because you’re not as well off as many out there, who don’t even deserve it. ESPECIALLY with the crappy quality these days and horrendous prices in the same time - this on its own to me is disrespectful to a customer, and if the brands are not respecting us, why on Earth should we respect them??

      Why do people need to proclaim to you what's real or isn't? It's real because it's a bag that holds things... end of lol. The only people getting their panties all bunched up are the designers that know these knockoffs are made of same exact material, and their brainless followers who think these brands give a she it about u.... lol live and let live Karen

      I think the quality of a super fake Chanel is probably better than a real Chanel *gtdupe* . Chanel quality has gotten so bad. If you spend $9000 on this, you are crazy.

      At a high-end gathering, I noticed that more and more women began to pay attention to personality and stories rather than simple brand labels. It was this *hotdups* that helped me find the bag that suits my taste and personality.

      Great video!! That's all that needs to be said!! If someone can't afford genuine luxury goods, there's nothing wrong with trying other brands whose designs look similar and are more affordable, *hotdups* instead of pretending and faking it just to impress others.
