Why do you?
Do you just want people to think you're carrying whatever name it is?
Just curious-never understood why people do this.
Usually, if you're buying designer purses its bc of the quality of them - I don't get why people spend 50-60 on a fake-poor quality designer bah when they could probably get a decent quality bag at the same price.
Just asking, not knocking...

LMAO designer doesn't mean quality, just notability. .

BTW.. knock offs don't always have the designer names they are trying to imitate on them.

I hate brand name shit. If I happen to inherit something with a brand name I usually remove the name.

I won't lie, I like the name brand stuff.....always have and if I can't afford it just yet, I wait until I can.  I'm not going to buy a fake and pretend  I have the "real thing."

Everyone I know buys the name brand ones just for the brand(they always shop at the Coach outlet). I have a few real name brand purses and hardly use them since I have 2 small boys and I am in love with my Skip Hop diaper bags. I had one for years and then my mom bought me another one and I just like how they strap on to the stroller and the designs are cute!

I also hate how the fake ones look so cheap!

I buy my handbags at 2nd hand stores so I have no idea if they're legit or not.  If they're inexpensive I assume they are.  The stores usually pulll out the good stuff and sell it in a different section for more of what it's worth.  That's more than I'll pay!  I pick the bag by it's look and features.  The name never factors into it.

No I get the same ones and they are not made with animals


Quoting heatherd09:

From what I've read about it, that's only the ones sold on the streets or online claiming them to be "real sheep skin". I buy them at target and they feel pretty fake to me. The fur doesn't even look to be from any kind of animal. I could be wrong but I don't think these are made from raccoon dogs, which is terrible by the way.



Quoting b0bbied0ll:

You do know that raccoon dogs are tortured and skinned alive to make those knockoff Uggs you buy every year :/ 

Quoting heatherd09:

I don't. You can usually tell they are knock offs. The only knock offs I buy are ugg knockoffs. I love my slip on furry shoes in winter but they are usually dirty and yucky by the end of winter. That would upset me if I paid over 100 bucks for them rather than 12.
