Learn to Buy Designer Bags With Confidence

19 May

It can be a hassle buying a designer bag these days. With the proliferation of on line sites selling knock-offs as authentic and unscrupulous salespeople, you may get taken for a ride. With the entire designer knock-offs being called “authentic” it’s easy to get confused on what constitutes the real thing.
If you see the Chloe python Silverado bag on ioffer, you are told it is 7 star quality and mirror image up front, that’s honest salesmanship. There is no issue with knowingly buying a designer knock off. However, you have to be careful doing that as well. Many qualities are available. Many people will sell a knock-off for much more than it is worth. Once on i offer, a person offered the same exact bag for two very different prices. When I asked why the same exact bag was being sold for two different prices, the reply was that she had to “fix” her description. Seemed fishy. How many people had paid before I caught the mistake? Did the retailer refund those customers?
The old sayings, “if it’s too good to be true it probably is” and “you get what you pay for” hold true. You can be assured that lovely Fendi Spy Bag on that online auction starting at $249.00 is not real. Nobody would offer an authentic Fendi Spy Bag for $249.00!
The most important thing to consider when buying a bag is who you’re buying from. You can rest assured that when purchasing that Prada bag from Nieman Marcus or that Gucci from Bergdorf Goodman, that you’re getting an authentic bag. You probably won’t get a deal, however. Check e-luxury’s website. Louis Vuitton is one of the actual owners of this website. Go to the coach website for Coach bags. Without worry, authenticity is guaranteed.
Visit E-bay’s Community Chat Room before purchasing a bag . There is so much information on how to detect counterfeit bags. Even an E-bay “powerseller” can be offering replica designer bags. When E-bay is alerted about a particular seller, it could take some time to investigate. The lengthy amount of time it takes for the investigation allows the seller to sell many counterfeit bags. E-bay has shut down dealers who sell counterfeit bags, but even they cannot protect you from all the unscrupulous sellers out there. You need to be very careful when buying online.
Make sure you are not fooled thinking that only authentic designer bags have holograms and serial numbers. People who make a livelihood on knock-offs are on their toes. These unscrupulous people keep up with any changes made in authentic bags. Even more importantly, when you see a bag for sale anywhere online or at retail, do you really know what the hologram is supposed to look like? Are you an expert on whether the serial number should be on a separate metal plate or embossed inside the bag? Should the name Gucci also appear, imprinted on the hardware on an authentic bag? You really never know unless you research it.
