How real can a high-imitation bag be
After reading it, I promise to open up your three views.
Last year, one from"The most exclusive residential area in the world".'s barber posted a ** on the Internet that [rich women are carrying fake bags].
One day, one of his clients was carrying a Hermès Kelly Min to take care of his hair, and he saw it and praised the beauty of the bag.
Surprisingly, this Kuotai said calmly:"It's a high imitation!”
You must know that his neighborhood is "Beverly Hills", and only the wealthiest handful of people in the United States can live in it!
So his clients are either rich or expensive.
But such a group of people will copy each other, and even exchange purchase channels with each other.
And this has becomeAn open secret in the rich woman circle.
*As soon as it was broadcast, the comment area fell instantly, full of doubts, and even many people suspected that the blogger was trying to be popular.
I just want to say about that:Sorry, when you eat soil and buy **, the real rich woman has long been on the road to buy a high imitation!
I have a rich woman friend Lisa, who lives in the rich area of the Bund in Shanghai, and loves to travel when she has nothing to do, and has been to at least a dozen countries, and there are countless big-name bags such as LV.
A few days ago, we had dinner together and found that she was carrying a Hermes Kellydole Picto.
This bag is even rarer than Himalayan crocodile leatherIt can be said that she is not carrying a bag, but a suite in a third- or fourth-tier city!
When I lamented the gap between myself and the rich woman, she was indifferent"This is a high imitation that was bought by micro-business".
I was even more surprised to hear this, after all, although this bag is expensive for her, it will definitely not be unaffordable.
But Lisa said: "I live in a villa of hundreds of thousands of square meters and drive a sports car of more than 3 million, who would question me for carrying a fake bag?."”
I was shocked and at the same time felt reasonable.
While we are still gritting our teeth in support of the high premium price of luxury, they have seen through the essence of luxury.
The real confidence comes from the money in your pocket, not a bag.
Not only bags, but also clothes and shoes, she will also choose high imitations.
In her mind, it's better to spend money on investments than on things that don't have much technical content but are at least 70% of the brand premium.
Even if you go on a trip, the knowledge you gain is something that you will follow for a lifetime.
"Just because I need a bag to socialize doesn't mean I'm really willing to pay a luxury premium."
Don't think that you love to buy high-imitation bags, only rich women like Lisa.
Even Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, which is full of local tyrants, is obsessed with high imitation.
In the autumn of 2019, the public security organs of Shanghai and Guangdong, together with the United Arab Emirates**, jointly cracked what is known as the world's largest transnational fake bag case.
Infringing goods were seized in this case2More than 10,000 cases, and the amount involved is about 178.9 billion yuan.
These imitations are continuously shipped to Dubai from China, and then sold all over the street in the name of ***.
The individual price of individual high-imitation limited editions can even be as high as tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course, the imitation products priced at tens of thousands of dollars are at least 100,000 or more.
It's more of an irresistible imitation bag that's low.
For example, Chanel's most classic CF, the highest-level imitation can be won with only 4K, and it is guaranteed that you will be difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Of course, these tyrants know that this is all fake.
But many imitations that can be won with only one-tenth of ** will be tempted by anyone.
Who can refuse to be made in China with good quality and low price?
For them, buying high imitations can not only earn enough face, but also save a lot of silver.
In addition to these rich people, there are also many celebrities who buy high imitations.
More than ten years ago, Celine Dion, the singer of "My Heart is Eternal", quietly entered the local imitation market after a concert in Shanghai.
Afterwards, a reporter broke the news that several employees in the car sent a total of 9 large bags of items, which were suspected to be the "trophies" of the day.
If it weren't for being ***, who would have believed that such a top celebrity would also buy a high imitation?
In addition to these foreign celebrities, there are also many domestic buyers of high imitations.
There is a fashion design master named Lin Guoji, who is known as one of the most successful designers in the world.
When he participated in the variety show "The Great Treasure Hunter", he brought his private collection of LV dinosaur eggs to the show, which was a global limited edition.
Just when there was a sound of surprise in the audience, it aroused the suspicion of an appraiser.
She first asked Lin Guoji where he bought it, and he hesitated to say that it was in Kaohsiung.
The appraiser saw his hesitation and continued to pursue the questioning, and he vaguely said that it was in the store.
After repeatedly examining the handle, the appraiser came to a conclusion: imitation!
Of course, Lin Guoji refused to admit it.
Appraisers are also not allowed to doubt their own professional competence.
In the face of his doubts, she directly compared the dinosaur eggs with the LVs of other show guests, and the results were obvious.
Mr. Lin's dinosaur eggs are not only the wrong color, but even the stitches are asymmetrical.
With the real hammer in hand, the other party had to remain silent.
Of course, the rich celebrities are not buying low-end goods for a few hundred yuan.
The high imitation bag is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the best is the ** level.
All accessories are as far as possible to find in the place of origin.
For example, the metal chain on the bag may have been found in Japan;
The strap may have been looking for a long time to get the goods in a factory in Europe;
A bag, I will try to get the original leather of the *** dealer at the counter.
Some bad ** will sell this kind of bag as **, because in addition to senior appraisers, ordinary people, including cabinet sisters, are basically difficult to distinguish.
It is precisely because of the existence of imitations of this grade that so many appraisers are needed.
Like my friend Lisa, her high-imitation Hermes belongs to this category, and she can't buy it without a small 10,000 yuan.
Of course, you get what you pay for.
At least herspackageTakeInhand, onlySeniorOnly the appraiser can see the clue.
This kind of top-level goods, whether it is material or craftsmanship, have long gone beyond the scope of "fake at a glance" in the early years.
Even forced the appraiser to "magnify the move" to identify it by fire, because the leather of LV has flame retardant and is not easy to burn out.
However, most people don't have channels to buy this kind of top-notch goods, which can be said to be exclusive to rich women.
Then a lot of people are going to ask:
Since 10% of the selling price can be difficult to distinguish between real and fake, why are luxury goods still sold so expensive?!
Because in addition to the extremely high brand premium, there are many large cost imitations that have been eliminated!
For example, the endorsement fee is often tens of millions of international top streams;
For example, designers who earn millions of dollars a year;
For example, the rent of a store located in a bustling business center;
For example, the high salaries of more than 56,000 employees in the group;
Many costs in all aspects, high imitation do not have to bear!
To a certain extent, all of this owned by the big-name manufacturers has made wedding dresses for high imitation.
Later, I also asked my friend Lisa for the merchant.
It turned out that the imitation was really good, at least for people like me who have only bought three or two **, I really can't tell the difference.
The bags that I bought one after another are really not sure of the quality.
The following three are two false and one true, guess which one is true?
Chanel Galeries Lafayette Karl Lagerfeld once said:
"Luxury is when you're wearing an expensive dress like you're wearing a T-shirt. If you don't have this comfort, then you are a person who is not used to luxury, just a rich person who can afford things. ”
I don't think I'm used to luxury, and I'm not a rich person, all I want is the envy of others when they see me carrying my back.
But in order to buy a bag, save money and deduct your quality of life, just to satisfy your vanity for a while, you are careful not to bump into it, and you can't use it a few times a year, which itself has lost the meaning of consumption.
Any spending on bags and apparel should be forLetusInFeel happy mentallyLetLife is comfortable and comfortable.
Buying a bag is not to be a delicate poor person, and a bag can't bring you any halo.
Real wealth is a person's temperament from the inside out, when you have that confidence, who cares about the authenticity of the bag?
