Don't you just hate it when people brag about their imitation purses thinking that they can fool you into believing that it's the real thing. I mean, come on people you might fool some people sometimes but you can't possibly fool everybody all the time. My advice to you, especially in this country where most are in-the-know, keep your fake bags at home well hidden in your closets 'coz people could tell the difference they're just polite enough not to blurt it out in your face. I don't get it why some of you out there would patronize counterfeit merchandise.What kind of twisted satisfaction do you get from it? Is it because you want to get attention from others , you want people to think you can afford it or that you wanna be considered part of the "in" crowd. Whatever your purpose is or whatever positive impression you expect to elicit from others, your means absolutely doesn't justify the end and it is also very pathetic. Do you feel elated and proud when people stare at your bag or talk about it, even if you know within yourself that you're carrying a fake one? If that's what you're after for buying replica purses, then you are totally sick. Deep inside you might be smiling and congratulating yourself because you seem to be getting away with it without people knowing, but in the process you're also letting the little devil inside you win. Just think of it this way, you are lying for the whole time that those bags are with you especially when you're trying to pass them as authentic ones. Let's say you went to the mall carrying your fake purse, your head up-high, enjoying the looks your imitation bag is getting, and going on with your act for hours.Doesn't that simply equate to lying for those hours, and that doesn't even count how many people you've "lied" to during that time. What's even worse are those folks who bring their knock-offs to church..tsk..tsk..tsk... . That's just when trying to fool total strangers, how about when some of you out there have even the audacity to lie and deceive your own friends with your phony designer purses? Well some kind of friend you are huh?!It's one thing when people buy imitations because they're totally unaware of such things as designer brands or authenticity.... sometimes ignorance is bliss . But for those of you who knows better..SHAME ON YOU !!!!And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
So you'll then say, not everybody can afford the real one right? But that's not an excuse to buy counterfeits. I personally, would rather carry a never-heard or no-name purse rather than be caught dead having a fake one. My conscience wouldn't simply put up with it. Sure I've heard of several places where one can purchase really very good imitations of designers purses for a very small fraction of the cost one pays for the authentic ones. Tempting yes but then again, as what people around me know by now, I would never brandish another person's suffering on my shoulders..or arm. What do I mean by that? Well replica bags are counterfeits right? These are categorically contrabands, they're illegal and are manufactured illegally. Your fake bags are made in well-hidden sweatshops by abused workers who labor for long hours in horrible working conditions, and to top it, some of them are minors. These illegal activities are found to be related to syndicates, international crime and terrorist funding. Need I say more? Just a simple FAKE bag to you but the implications are wide and worse than you can imagine. Remember, It's just like how that endangered-animals advocacy message goes "When the buying stops, the killings will too". Let the change start from you. If this still doesn't convince you to refrain from buying those awful fake designer purses I don't know what will. I just hope to God I don't see you carrying those illegal replicas out in the open or even hear you bragging about it. You know who you are and I know some of you too.
