Designer handbags are anything but cheap. There’s no wonder that a whole side industry of replica purses is thriving. Women like those designer bags, but how to buy such things when one of them could actually feed your four kids for a month or two? Among designer purses, some of them are relatively inexpensive, Coach bags or Botkier falling into this category. Still, for some girls, even a few hundreds of dollars will still be way too much to spend on a purse, so the demand for counterfeits is there, even for cheaper bags. Many times, knockoffs look really good, making it very hard to tell that they aren’t original. However, most replicas need to be cheap, so the quality is far from being the best. Sloppy stitches, defective zippers or low quality hardware are only a few signs that warn you when you’re about to buy a fake, thinking it’s the real thing.
