How many fake, fakes can you fake?

What fakes did I buy, like, dislike and why?

Don’t feel too self conscious about the crease in the 25B, the speedys are considered luggage and they come folded flat, my authentic Speedy 25 has a bit of creasing on the side from being stored at the boutique.

Yes you are right but this one is too much 😊. Thanks for commenting!

Bahahaha... I am that person at Wal-Mart. I only rush up there when I realize I need something I didn't plan for and it's usually right before they are going to close at 11... so, I'm gonna go in whatever I have on and my hair thrown up some how, in my daily Hey Dudes because those are my daily comfy shoes. So, you can't always judge a book by it's cover. But, your point is taken. Ha ha. I can spot them too... even when their hairs and nails are done. I'd go so far as to say that most of the girlies that keep up with all of that stuff are probably carrying around fakes (depending on age bracket) because they aren't out here making money like that. So, if it is real, it was a gift. There's a certain point in which you can tell people are just who they are and they are tired of faking who they aren't, and that's something you can tell when looking at the person to spot a fake. Oddly, I just got into Louis in the last couple of years. I think the logo is gaudy and it's never been my style, but I found a 2010 Monogram Athenia Hobo Bag in the khaki color. Since it's leather the monogram is actually embroidered in a repeating pattern all over the exterior of the bag. And, it's basically in thread of the same color so there isn't any contrast really. So, without actually looking, you can't actually tell what the brand is. It's noticeable, but it's not like the canvas prints... which is much more my speed. I got it from a 2nd hand shop. And then, as luck would have it, when I had bought that bag, my cousin who was Louis obsessed had shown me a Never full in cream leather with the black LV rather large on one side like in the middle, but just the fleurs everywhere else. I instantly loved it, because I WILL pay good money for a leather good. But I won't pay for a name on canvas... it's a mental block and I can't get over it. However, that bag sold out (I believe it was part of a Spring collection) and was long gone by the time she even showed it to me... fast forward about 6 months later we are just having lunch and pop into another consignment shop and someone had just dropped that exact bag off to have the shop sell it for them. So, we came back to my job where I had saved some cash and we drove back over so I could buy the bag. I carry it whenever something formal is going on, but it's very sturdy, it's large and a great size. I absolutely love it. I love both of my bags... and typically when I'm not carrying one, I'm carrying the other. That being said, I did just purchase 2 Steve Madden bags from Walmart... one is a rhinestone decked out LuLu Lemon style belt bag and the other is a super bright neon yellow crossbody that's small but will hold alot. So, I started about 23 years ago with Coach as a bday gift from my parents for my 21st bday... I've got tons of Coach Bags... I even have my moms vintage Gucci and Fendi bags... I probably could never need another purse in my life... But we all know... I'm still gonna buy them. Lulz.

i love your commentary! & the ysl tire analogy was spot on

[@MinPark-kl1zu]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH I love the way you talk, girl.

[@tuyetpham2086]

Me too

[@user-lz2ii2ev7f]

Girl that is not a dupe that is a counterfeit replica there is a difference. This is a Counterfeit Replica just so you know. Counterfeits use the designer logos and stamps…dupes are copies like Steve Madden Shoes but they do not use the logos and branding that is they difference. You may get flagged on KZbin promoting counterfeit bags just saying…just be careful on your socials with replicas. I say to each his own…I get it its your coin so you can buy whatever you want. Best of luck to ya!

[@ivy4rivers]

I honestly don't know the difference with all the lingo being used that's why I reference them as fakes. I also hope this video is not mistaken for promting, as I may have said something and retracted it. Thanks for commenting.

[@JoleeSO]

Good video…the gate bags are such crap…but we must explore all aspects of what is going on out there. Dishonest KZbinrs are rampant now. It’s crazy how people lose their way when they get a channel going. “Stay gold pony boy, stay gold” 😊

[@ivy4rivers]

Yes, yes....thank you!

[@karinacampos8668]

Luv it!111 So informative!!

[@ivy4rivers]

Thank you honey. I'm glad it was informative for you!

[@mariax876]

I love Coach too!

[@ivy4rivers]

Yessssss.....and the bags are looking so snazzy and beautiful. It's like a bag for everyone!

[@omniscient-]

girl stop using dhgate & find a private seller that you like. such as old cobbler! 10/10

[@ivy4rivers]

Okay, okay.....will check it out, thanks!

[@davionnecoreennewson7715]

Old cobbler can be hit and miss ,I suggest Alice or Min

[@user-pf7dp4sb1z]

This KKUWAN tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotationhand-pink-waving

[@l_raage1663]

There's a lot of very good condition Lv bags on the resale market like from online consignment store either from America or Japan and most are around $1500 or less

[@ivy4rivers]

Yes, there are a lot! The problem is most of those bags are priced as close to or same as a new bag.

[@rql_p]

What’s the website to them? Will Japan ship to USA?

[@Kim_eag]

Try to steam out the crease on the speedy with a steamer and a cloth in between. Worked for me!

[@ivy4rivers]

Hey there, I tried the steam but not with the towel, someone also mentioned a blow-dryer. I will try the towel, thanks a bunch!

[@JoleeSO]

Good description! We all have our masculine side❤

[@ivy4rivers]

Yes we do!

[@ivy4rivers]

@BurrightAlbe awwww...thank you for commenting!

[@omniscient-]

the crease on your speedy can be fixed with a blow dryer:)

[@ivy4rivers]

I will try....thanks for the tip!

[@momcologistmakeupjen6197]

@@ivy4rivers I was going to say with like a little mini iron... to the inside? Protect it with a cloth... but any heat should do it. A blow dryer certainly might be easier, but if you happened to have like a cricut mini press... you could concentrate the heat way better. Just make sure you protect it, you say it feels like rubber... so you don't want it to melt on you...

[@ivy4rivers]

No matter if it's the bellefinery or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.

[@sarahh.4154]

Do you have the links?

[@ivy4rivers]

Hi there, I decided I better not share. The video was not meant to promote but rather just what were my likes and dislikes about buying fakes....just my experience and a little warning.

[@vanillaicecream4162]

I love my luxury handbags but that is my only love for luxury so I'm thebkne that wears a real LV to Walmart with my flip flops. You just never know now a days. I like to dress super casual most days. Also, dupes are when they have rhe same shape and all but never the YSL or LV logo ( which is legal). Once they slap that logo on there, it becomes a knock off which is illegal. Your items aren't dupes, they are knock offs. I have been tempted to get the knock-offs but you can't resell it at all. Also, if you travel to a different country where they are harsh on fakes, I hear you can get in trouble.

[@ivy4rivers]

Wow, I never thought that you could get into trouble for traveling, I'm assuming flying, with a fake. Thanks for mentioning that!

[@davionnecoreennewson7715]

You most definitely can resale to other people that are into reps
