So, where do we even START? I mean, you got Burberry doing virtual handbag drops on Roblox (seriously? The future is weird), and then you got, like, *this*. The, uh, “counter quality replica” situation. See, I saw something about “True Mirror Image Replica” with a product code and everything – code 8812, for anyone keeping score at home. They’re not even shy about it, are they?
And it’s all over the internet, from YUPOO (whatever THAT is, sounds kinda sus) promising “Burberry mirror quality” bags for, like, 300 bucks, which, let’s be real, is STILL a lot of money, but a *tiny* fraction of what a real Burberry would cost. You know the one, the Two-tone canvas and leather pocket bag, that everyone’s drooling over? Yeah, THAT one.
I saw someone desperately asking about dupes for a Burberry bag, saying they knew linen canvas with leather trimming was trendy. Girl, I feel you! Trendy *and* expensive. Hence, the whole mirror image situation.
I think the real kicker is how detailed these replica sellers are getting. Like, they’re taking PICTURES. Tons of ‘em. Keys, locks, the leather grain (or, you know, whatever *looks* like leather grain), the stitching… videos, even! They’re acting like a real Burberry shop, except… not. It kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Like, how close *are* these things?
And the thing that really gets me is, are they wrong to do this? Like I get that its not right, but its so hard to get a real bag, and they are so expensive. I can barely afford my rent. So if I want to look like I have more money than I do, who cares?
