And then there’s Teresa Giudice, bless her heart, trying to sell *used* designer bags on TikTok, and people are accusing her of maybe, possibly, not being entirely upfront about their authenticity? Like, the drama is real. Gia’s in on it too, which just adds another layer of, well, awkwardness.
Look, I get it. Designer bags are expensive. I mean, who *wouldn’t* want to strut around with a Chanel or a Dior? But buying a fake? It feels…wrong, somehow. It’s like pretending to be something you’re not, ya know? And some people are even getting into trouble with customs for trying to bring these things across borders! That’s a major uh-oh.
I saw this TikTok from LibbyYoho, and she was talking about how to spot a fake designer bag. Honestly, I wouldn’t know the difference half the time. Which is probably why I’m too scared to even *think* about buying one online.
But here’s the thing that really gets me: the influencers! Like Kylan and Izzy Darnell, getting called out for their Christmas hauls being fake. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, who knows? But it just shows you how pervasive this whole counterfeit culture is. It’s everywhere!
And then I saw this other TikTok from JEN M, asking if anyone else feels weird using fake designer stuff. And honestly? I kind of do. It’s like, you’re buying into the *idea* of luxury, but without actually supporting the designers and brands. It feels…kinda hollow, doesn’t it?
Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. Maybe I just don’t “get it.” But personally? I’d rather save up for the real deal, even if it takes me forever. Or, you know, just rock a cute bag from Target. No shame in that game! Plus, you avoid the whole “is this real?” anxiety and the potential legal drama. Seriously, no thank you.
