Look for Ridiculous Pricing Cost
Some people really don’t care if a bag is a fake as long as it looks like the real bag. As in all walks of life, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Pay too little (thinking you have a bargain) and you may get a bag in return, but the chances are it will be lower quality than you would hope for, worse it may not impress your friends. In fact all you do is waste money. You may spend £150 at an online auction thinking you have secured the bargain designer bag of the century, only to discover the bag looks so inferior that you won’t even use it and could instead have put that £150 toward the genuine official outlet bag.
Stamps inside labels on real bags are usually deeply embedded. Remember that counterfeiters will make fakes of any popular desirable brand name designer. China is notorious for not enforcing trademark laws, so factories are inclined to reproduce whatever item they choose. However, with the Olympic Games of summer 2008, China may be forced to protect its own official Olympic products and this may all be the start of a non Confucian attitude toward copying goods.
Made with cheap labour, but sold at authentic prices Super bags are generally the highest quality mirror bags that are sold by the handbag underworld. In Hong Kong, grades of replicas vary, so that Super A means really good whereas A grade is good and counter intuitively, AAA less good.
Just what does this mean to the unwitting consumer – it means an unscrupulous seller can simply say their bag is super A, 5 star, 7 star, triple A or whatever the current phrase is for the best replica phrase to mean quality.
The upgraded replica terminology may be employed by many counterfeiters, but few have the quality replicas that fool company staff.
Many sellers use the terminology, but don’t have the goods to back it up! The picture you are shown online may well be of an authentic bag, but online auction forum members regularly state how they have been duped and do not receive the actual bag in the online photo.
