5 Great Reasons to Have That Designer Bag!
2nd October 2007
Designer Bag
While you were out shopping, or maybe surfing on the internet, you may have seen the handbag, tote or purse of your dreams.
Did that bag call out to you, saying "BUY ME?"
Well sometimes you should listen to your heart and treat yourself to that absolutely gorgeous designer bag. Here are five great reasons why you should get it.
1. There's no need to worry about size. Unlike all forms of clothing, that designer bag will fit you whether you are a size four or a size fourteen. Yep, that designer bag fits perfectly, no matter what. Which means if you mess up your diet and gain weight or even lose weight, whatever happens, that designer bag will fit you.
2. That one designer bag will work with many outfits. You get plenty of mileage and it'll last for years. When you divide the price of the designer bag by the number of times you'll use it over the next ten years or so (if it's a classic design), the price no longer seems so intimidating.
3. That designer bag is all about top quality. High quality materials are used to make it. The lining is stitched in expertly. Everything about a real designer bag screams perfection. When you carry a designer bag like this it shows that you know you deserve nothing but the best.
4. First impressions count. Carrying a designer bag is all about your image. When you walk into a room full of people, their eyes scrutinise you down to the last detail. The clothes you're wearing and the bag you're carrying count in that initial assessment. So a coveted designer bag will increase your presence no end.
5. You need that designer bag! Ok, bags are practical as they carry all the things you need wherever you go. It's true, a girl can never have too many bags. You need the right bag for the right setting. An evening bag is essential for formal dinners or to match your cocktail dresses. A spacious, practical bag with lots of compartments are necessary to help you get organized. So naturally, as you need these bags, they might as well be well made bags that'll last for years - designer bags.
The only problem with designer bags is that they can be very expensive. If you are on a budget, don't be tempted to buy one of the fake designer bags that are hawked on the black market, because anyone who really knows their bags can spot one a mile off and you could end up being seriously embarrassed!
Instead of buying them cheap, have a look at some of the online stores below. For designer bags on a budget, these stores offer the real thing for discounted prices.
So now you can carry a real designer bag with you for far less than you might imagine!

Real or Fake? How to Tell The Difference
2nd October 2007
Fake designer bags and purses are being made in China by the shipload and imported into the US and Europe - and it's seriously big business.
It's also seriously criminal.
The people that buy these fake designer bags believing they're the real deal are victims of crime. Maybe they think they're getting a great deal on an authentic designer bag, but sooner or later they'll discover they've been duped.
The fake designer bag they just bought is relatively worthless and they have no way of getting their money back. That's because the criminals that peddle these fake designer bags never stay in one place for long.
So first of all, how do these fake designer bags get into the country in the first place?
One way which has been discovered is that the labels are not attached until the bags arrive in the US. Officially it's still legal to import bags if they just appear like designer models, as without the label the manufacturer cannot be implicated.
So all the smugglers have to do is import the fake designer bags minus the labels and then add them when they've arrived safely in the country.
Because of this, consumers should learn how to protect themselves from being hoodwinked by this scam. The best way is to learn how to tell the difference between a a fake designer bag and the real deal. Here's how.
The first thing to notice is there's usually a big difference in quality since the people who make fake designer bags can't afford the high quality leather and other materials that go into making a genuine designer bag. So look closely at the materials the bag is made of and look at the quality of the stitching too.
Next might sound obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't think of this. It's the price. Fake designer bag sellers usually try to attract customers by setting their prices much lower than what you'd pay for the real designer bag in a store. Yet people still buy the fake bags because they think that they're getting a great deal.
The bottom line is: Stop and Think!
You need to realize that it's highly unlikely a genuine designer bag that usually sells for around a thousand dollars will be on sale at a flea market for one or two hundred dollars.
If the price difference is that great and it seems that it's too good to be true - it is!
It's most likely to be a fake.
It's also seriously criminal.

More Ways to Spot a Fake designer Bag
7th October 2007
When buying a designer bag, you need to be aware that there are lots of fakes around, so here are some more ways you can easily spot a fake designer bag from the real thing.
1. Watch for the lining - sometimes it isn't stitched in, but glued on. The same goes for labels.
2. The material used can also give the game away. For instance, if the signature plaid of a Burberry bag is even slightly askew, it's a fake.
3. Some manufacturers of fake designer bags do take the time to stitch the lining into place. In these higher quality fakes, look for threading that is pulling in places. A real designer bag will have near-perfect threading.
4. Do some research before you buy so you know where a genuine designer bag is manufactured. When buying, always ask where the bag was made. If the seller can't tell you, chances are its a fake. You can also look for a label. If you see "Made in China" run a mile.
5. The price is always a dead giveaway. Fake designer bags range in price from $40 - $360 (£20 to £180). Classic monogram Louis Vuitton bags cost from $800 (£400) to well over $2,000 (£1,000). Any less and you're not getting the real deal.
6. Genuine Louis Vuitton purse snaps are monogrammed. Replica Vuitton makers often omit that detail.
7. Look closely at the handles of a Louis Vuitton. They should be made of an entire strip of natural leather. When first purchased, the handle is light tan in colour. Over the course of a few weeks, it should oxidize and turn into a darker, cognac colour. Fake bags don't change colour like this because the handles are usually painted.
Also, the stitching on the handles should be of yellow thread and should be clean and consistent. The sides of the handles should be a shiny, glazed red.
8. The zipper pull of a Louis Vuitton bag should be brass hardware which is heavy to the touch. Look for a neatly imprinted "LV" symbol on it.
9. The "LV" monogram should have a flower pattern and irregular brown lines through the gold-coloured letters. Fake Louis Vuitton monograms can be a solid colour or look too green or too orange.
10. Always ask for the bag's ID. There should be a card with the style number and name inside the bag.
Generally, common sense should tell you when a designer bag is real or fake. Always ask lots of questions of the seller to ensure they know what they are selling - often sellers of fakes haven't a clue about them - they just want a quick sale and to be rid of you so they can scam their next customer.
If in doubt, simply walk away!
