Leathers... leathers... and exotic leathers on reps...

I'd like to share an info on the leathers that are being used as of the moment for high end replicas.

Other people are claiming that there's no such thing as replicas that are made of exotic animals skin (leather) like ostrich, croc, python. i beg to DISAGREE. and a couple of my customers who bought these bags made from the exotics would definitely agree with me.

You can custom made just anything from China. The only difference is that if you want REAL EXOTIC LEATHER you would have to pay more, a lot more. and i am telling you it's not cheap because we all know that you dont raise this animals the way you do  chickens and there is a certain process in handling these kind of leathers, a grueling one at that. But of course compared to their authentic inspirations, its like buying an iced white mocha at Starbucks when purchasing these limited editions.lol. Chinese can import, produce and export all sorts of leather. and i mean all sorts.

9Star, Euro Quality and 8star Replicas... Fact or Fiction?

Id like to give you an insight on this supposedly quality that some replica sellers especially on bags are advertising via their stores/shops/blogs etc...

There is no such thing as these 9star, Euro quality and 8star replica. It just bothers me as a seller because clients sometimes get confused and im so irritated in explaining that there is no such thing. If i say that only 3-4 qualities of replica exist, they still hesitate because other sellers with very creative imagination are advertising of these so called higher classes, grades or qualities of replicas.

EURO REPLICAS- Other sellers are claiming that some of their bags are replicas made in Europe? whaaaat? replica in Europe, Isn't that where the authentic should be made in. the reason why other designers or companies outsource to China due to the fact that rich european countries have super high labor costs? Why would you do a replica of an item that for labor costs alone would cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. How can you purchase  or sell at an affordable or better price then? High quality replicas are being bought as an alternative so you can avoid paying sky high price tags. Think, This idea is ludicrous.

Why buy Replicas?

ok here's my personal list why i buy these babies aside from selling them.

1. Very easy on the pocket!- You dont need to sell a part of your body, have an affair with a dirty old man or sell your house to buy these goodies!lol
For one authentic designer item, you will be able to buy 3 high quality replica bags  or shoes and an added bonus, a pedicure! or better a spa session!;)
More than usual, what makes an authentic item overly expensive is its brand name. I for one would like to pay for the high quality craftsmanship and material of the product and not the name. but of course, it wouldn't hurt if the name is included. Its our best motivation to buy these goodies anyway, for its famous brand name, but hoping not to spend too much though.

2. High End Quality!- Some of us heard rumors that most designer brands outsource Chinese factories. These rumors seems to be becoming a fact due to the products that these Chinese factories produce. Very high quality indeed for the items that i have and been selling for more than 4 years. What;s more, they keep improving every year. Over the years this chinese factories are trying to keep up with better quality assurance. So for these babies you are just paying just right for the labor, craftsmanship, material that you are buying and not for the names.

to be continued.. need to answer a couple inquiries first. see yah later!

Why Sell Replicas?

I have enumerated below the reasons why i sell these Replicas:

1. My Love for Replicas- if you have read my first entry you would know that replica is not my 1st love. But after so many bags, items that passed through me or i've used for the past few years, i cannot imagine how i'd live without them. (big thanks to the very crafty chinese factories and the designers who outsourced them!lol) Now i want to share the experience and joy of having this items with me 24/7. Of course, for the best possible price. I would want to sell my house just for an authentic bag either. :)

2. Familiar with this business! - Through the years of buying authentics for personal use, Seeing really fake ones at shopping centers, going to China and visiting factories, stores and such of these replicas. I can honestly compare the items that im selling with their genuine counterparts. Do not worry. For i will be honest. If you have questions, ill be glad to answer even if you dont buy from me or you just want to know or make sure, that i know what I am i talking about. lol.

3. Very in demand! - These items are so in demand especially during these hard times. Most of my clients are authentic brand lovers, but once they tried shopping for these replicas, they coudnt stop. I know some people would say "yuck, whatever, we will never buy or use replicas!" I heard those statements a lot especially in TPF, but surely enough most members of TPF are replica lovers (they just wont admit it), why would they, for sure, they have been one of those snobbish all-i-wear-and-going-to-wear-is-an-authentic-brand! yeah right! lol. Each of us has preferences. For the budget concious practical brand lovers, we prefer replicas! Great quality, Easy on the pocket. Remember when there's demand, there will always be a supply. That is why we are here.

4. Supplier Freebies! - If i sell a lot, (just great because i do). i get freebies from them. Isn't that a great deal, you earn from selling and still you get freebies from them. yey! and sometime the freebies, i give them out as freebies for my loyal customers. Now, we are all happy!

okay bye for now.

Me and Almost Authentic

Hi, a 20 something brand lover gal and a business woman by my own right and is literally obsessed with brand name bags, shoes, accessories or whatever item that has famous brand name designers or tags on it.

Being born in an average class family is such a pain sometimes especially when your obsessed with brand name items. I used to drool over my blockmates bags' (louis vuitton, balenciaga, mulberry, chloe etc) in school, yeah, you said it, high end designer names. I got in a very exclusive school via a scholarship, so most or almost all the people studying there are rich if not filthy rich. Its inevitable that you get envious with all those gorgeous bags popping everywhere around the campus, next, then try to save to buy an authentic designer bag, which in the end you fail to do so for there are things that you need to prioritize first before those arm candies that you'd die for... or its just me.. :)
