Where to Acquire Designer Inspired Bags

Editor’s note: This post was originally about Baghaus.com and its designer-inspired collection of handbags. Regrettably, Baghaus.com is not any more. So, it’s 2017 and we have rewritten this article to add other online shops that take bags with rates that are low-brow. 

Knock-off Versus Designer Found

What is the difference?   The designer inspired variant is. It is similar to you wearing a Marilyn Monroe costume on Halloween. You look like her, but everybody knows you are not really Marilyn.

The knock-off is the tote that’s intended to come off just like thing that is real. When the Sundance Film Festival crashed, remember? Because he intended to fool folks into thinking that he actually was The Actual Bradley Cooper, that guy was a knock-off.

The majority of us would rather not deal with the dilemmas of purchasing a obvious knock-off. However an inspired piece, well, that seems a little less icky.

Where to Purchase

So where can you buy”inspired” versions of your favourite handbags? The very same places you already shop for cheap clothing. Offline, try:

• Goal
• Permanently 21
• Charlotte Russe
• H&M

Take a look at eBay and GoJane.

Replica Bags: the Weird Middle Ground

If you are still not happy with your choices, there is one more option. The replica tote is sold as an imitation, but looks close enough to pass off as the real thing. I will let you determine how you feel about that. I have not shopped at both of these retailers keep at your own risk. However, if you must, here is where you can find those purses:

• PurseValley conveys replicas of the most recognizable designer titles, such as Prada, Valentino, Chloe and Balenciaga.
• AAA Handbags has yet another impressive collection of designers such as Cartier, Fendi and the like.

Where do you fall on this problem? Are you crossing the line with no or an inspired tote?
