The Hard Truth About Fake Designer Bags in Turkey

DHgate offers a wide selection of products at competitive prices, making it a one-stop shop for individuals and businesses looking to source products from Asia. Unless your pocket is deep, you will probably not consider going for an original Givenchy. So, the real question arises on choosing between designer brand replicas and other cheaper brands.

RepLadies is a sub-Reddit dedicated to counterfeit luxury goods, and where a community of mostly millennial women gather to acquire them. Exquisite replicas of everything from designer shoes to Rimowa suitcases are available, but the bags are the real attraction. Some designer bags are produced in limited quantities or are hard to find replica bags, making them inaccessible to the average consumer.

This bag represents one of those unique moments in fashion where a simple accessory shoots to the top of the “It bag” list. It’s got a sleek look, snaps shut with a magnetic closure, and is pretty much the perfect weekend bag. It’s got a single top handle that’s easy to slip your arm through or just hold, and it comes with an adjustable shoulder strap for extra versatility. I’m really disappointed to see this; I thought Bottega Veneta would be one of the last to compromise on quality.

And different craftsmen have their own sewing styles, so no two bags are exactly the same. If the zipper gets stuck, feels stiff, or just doesn’t slide easily, that’s a big sign you’re dealing with a fake Hermès bag. In poorly made Birkin replicas, you might see the hardware colors don’t match up. Like, the feet have a silver color but the rest of the hardware is golden. Hermès has a ton of color options for the Birkin bag, from classic neutrals like black and gold to bright colors like orange and red.

It can be a challenge to replicate the exact font used in designer logos, so if the font looks off, it could be fake. If you know what brand of bag you’re looking for, familiarize yourself with the logo. Grab an image of an authentic logo and keep it on your phone so you can compare it while you shop. As a handbag lover, I understand the allure of a second-hand designer handbag bargain. Fakes are everywhere, and it’s easier than you’d imagine to get duped. This Tory Burch purse comes in several attractive color combos.
