Hi just want personal opinions

1. Is it worth it to buy replica branded bags because they are much cheaper?

2. is there any obvious difference? is yes what are they and how to know for sure? eg ( stitching or etc)

3. can share your previous experience of owning replica branded bags?

If it makes you feel good, go ahead. Especially if you don't mind what ppl thinks..

But becareful if you have friends who likes to check this and that, ambik your bag then check check say is fake..

Definitely there's a difference, if not won't call it Replica.
Of course also depends on the Grade.

Even the AAA Grade also can see the difference by naked eyes from the expert or regular authentic user.

If want to buy, don't buy too expensive range as people will know base on your status.

Match the brand to your status/level.

If you're M40 driving City but with top end LV/Gucci/whatever... nobody will think it's genuine.

But again on 2nd thought, its all about you. What the hell what people think.

For me I dont go for brand. Just go for something that suits me.

I just feel if the real look the same like fake....then why bother...since is almost the same

But then I dunno if I should or not. because some ppl say is not ethical. so that why I just double check first.

Just buy whatever comforts you ..

In my case, I have a principle of "if cant afford, don't buy it". Why need to show off if you're broke til resort to fakes

No money just don't buy it .. afterall, there are many substitution product right ?

What's the point of getting a fake for the sake of people "validation"

It's not bout the bag actually.

It's the journey one takes to actually acquired an authentic unit from a reputable source / boutique.

You can buy a fake, yes. But why don't you spend the money on something else that's not mainstream rather than a clear fake?

my personal view is replica item is cheaper but sometime it is not really cheap.

To decide whether to buy or not to buy, it still depend on the value it brings, whether the it is the design that you long for or the quality is good.
