I was looking at a website selling fakes the other day and was turned OFF by the fact that they were fake. Sure…it’d be impressive but everyone would know I can’t afford a real birkin, so what’s the point? I want to buy a real bag so it’s appreciated as a real bag. The fake just wouldn’t do it for me because I’d always be scared someone would catch on! And that’s just my pride. This article obviously shows there’s a lot more to lose than just dignity.

I don’t have the budget to buy designer, but I’d rather buy a decent, no-name bag than a knock-off.
That said… Does the bag in the title image exist? I kind of love it. :D

Great stuff. When you really stop and think about it you should not buy fakes. I think celebrity inspired bags are different but counterfeits are just wrong and as you point of definitely NOT a victim-less crime.

Recently our state’s main newspaper had an article promoting a store that sold fakes – not even the kind that the logos are a similar look but different initials, but a direct knock off of the logos. I wrote to him condemning him and his promotion of an illegal activity that a local store was doing, and he basically said to me – too bad, it’s what they do and if you want to file a complaint on the store go ahead, but he was washing his hands of any responsibility in the matter. Unbelieveable!
