Following the last post here at My Designer Bag where we showed you how to Beat Your Designer Bag Addiction, it'd be great to look at some of the differences between true designer bags and the more affordable alternatives, known as designer inspired bags.
Designer bags are coming out in some great styles this season. Most designer bags have warranties on their products which means they'll fix any manufacturing defects or weaknesses for you should they occur. Designer bags like Burberry bag, Gucci bag, Fedi bag etc, however, carry a steep price tag which places them out of reach for many people.
Designer inspired and fashion bags, on the other hand, are much more affordable. Designer inspired bags have the same style as their designer bag label counterparts, but have enough noticeable differences which can distinguish them from the true designer bag. That prevents violation of trademark or copyright laws. They also don't display the designer bag name or logos anywhere on the bag.
While fashion handbags come in lots of great styles, they're not necessarily styled after the designer labels.
When you buy a true designer bag, it's no secret that the higher price includes the displayed name and logos. You should always be certain that you get exactly what you pay for. It's also no secret that the big designer bag names in handbag fashions refrain from wholesaling their products to small independent retailers. They also usually limit the online sales of their designer bag products to their own website or sometimes to a large national retailer who is authorized to sell their designer bag products.
Beware cheap imitations being sold as designer bags! There are many handbags being sold off as designer bag labels that are not what they appear to be.
As an example, you might pay only $300 for a designer bag that you'll find on a genuine designer bag site for $900. Well, if you did your homework and got the real deal, say something advertised as "gently used" on eBay, well you got a great deal: But if it turns out to be merely a really good replica, then you paid way over the odds for it.
If you like the style of a particular handbag and you are not so bothered about the name on the bag, then a designer inspired handbag or fashion handbag can give you the look you want without breaking the bank that a true designer bag would do. It's a great idea if you really like a particular look or style.
As long as you are aware that designer inspired bags and fashion handbags can come in varying qualities, you'll be fine as long as when purchasing them, you check out the store's return policy. Most stores that sell well made handbags, be they online or a high street or shopping mall store, will be proud to stand behind their products and be more than happy to provide some type of return policy.
So whether you go for the true designer bag or the more affordable designer inspired bag, it comes down to personal choice as much as the size of your bank balance!
