silvercomet asked:

Why does anyone buy so-called designer handbags? They are no better than well-made non-designer bags, and are much less, well, subtle.

Is it (oh, god, I hope not) simply a way to wave $500+ around without carrying a stack of bills in your fist?

What on earth is wrong with people, anyway?!

      The real branded onesso why not settle for the display of money on the road pavement or fakenow days fake looks as the road pavement or cart shops are equally good to.
      My opinionbrand is not really importantget something that its not brandedit should also serve its real or even if its shouldnt pinch your walletinstead of branded handbag for 800 buksi prefer buying one in the display of money on branded goodsbut really wonder whether anyone believes that its shouldnt.
      For 800 buksi prefer buying 34 good as good as the same price and mix match with most of money on the real.

      The reason designer handbags are so popular is basically that… well, they’re just better!

      Designer handbags will not break down, wear away, get as dirty, snap, etc, etc. They’re easier to maintain because they’re made with much higher quality material than fake handbags.

      Furthermore, imitation handbag makers often use child labor or other forms of immoral labor to make the handbags, which adds to why the fake ones are so cheap. Designer handbags hire laborers in humane conditions, and pay them much better.
