I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable*preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

I'm 37 years old and I already have a *hotdups* black Birkin bag, which was the first good choice I ever made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to associate with a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. I have no interest in spending $40k on a bag (a piece of leather + labor = up to $1000) Imagine spending $39k on this brand. Totally unnecessary.

to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price.

Hi Amelia, long time occasional viewer here Things you and Deb overlooked regarding that white Saddle just based on the first photo you used on the video: the glazing is a little too thick, literal microns the tip of the front strap that doesn't have the D is not symmetrical, one side is "flatter" than the other by, again, literal microns Is literally the smallest details that can give it away because for better (anxiety management) or for worse (cases like this) most people are not used to noticing these kinds of details, and on the opposite side of the spectrum sometimes the fakes are too perfect compared with the real thing

eBay now does authentication. The bag gets shipped to them and after the authentication is complete, the bag is shipped to the byer. Authenticating the bag from pictures is not a valid authentication. It is important to see the bag in person. The certificates from on-line authenticators are not accepted as valid if you ever need to dispute an authenticity claim.

@@seabreeze4559 That is one of the reasons. Another one is that materials are different between super fakes and authentic bags. You can't tell from the pictures. You have to touch and smell the bag. If glazing and glue are used, they will be different between fakes and real bags, but you can't tell from the pictures. Newer LV bags have chips now. In-person authenticator can do a scan to find it and read it.

You’re absolutely correct, I have bought 2 Gucci bags from eBay and they were sent to EBay first to be authenticated. I already had one a bought a Gucci in Florence and I wanted different colors and they are stunning. I tried buying another one from EBay and I got the money refunded because they received it was ruled as a fake. They are working hard at getting counterfeit out of their site.

There was recently a law suit on authentication, Chanel sued What goes around comes around in New York saying that the only one who can authenticate Chanel bags are Chanel and no-one else. They won that law suit. The what goes around store can not use the phrase "100% authentic guarantee" on any of their pre-loved Chanel bags. I completely agree with them, I would never trust an "authenticator" and I think their "certificate" is just their opinion on a piece of paper, it doesn't mean anything. If you buy pre-loved you take a chance and hope for the best, it can never be guaranteed.
