Only goes to show that the fakes are getting better at their craft.

[@hungergameshub]

Which sucks, the whole point of a luxury item is that you work hard for it- not buy it illegally.

[@wheathusk2499]

​@laurenbaccarin2 lol what a boomer mindset. Do you think these pieces of garbage are worth the$ 12000 dollars when they make em in the same factories as these dupes in China.

[@harryegan7456]

If your willing to spend day £2/300 they're literally identical especially with shoes which are £200 tops

[@harryegan7456]

Also there's Chinese sites that sell lv/Gucci print leather along with the schematics for the bag you would like to make yourself believe it or not 😂

[@Shreddderrr]

You do realise the difference between fakes and real ones are just the quality checks and outlet they are sold off of right

[@carleneatkinson4225]

I will be getting a bag 2 and put the rest of the money to buy groceries and pay some bills😂

[@Reallifeintheblue]

So you will be paying more?

[@madhumitha108]

He said bag 2 is the fake one...🙄

[@poochieming928]

😅😅😅You have your point, making fakes is punishable bu law😂😂😂

[@r_brandli]

Research shows that pirated goods are often made and sold by organized criminals. You may therefore risk that your purchase helps to finance other serious illegal activities, such as human trafficking, drugs, money laundering and illegal arms trade.

[@carleneatkinson4225]

@@r_brandli do you really think that some average person that’s living from paycheck to paycheck is going to hurt some of the biggest fashion houses in Europe, I thought if these people are going to fashion week to mingle with the rich and famous, you have people that have Kelly Bags in their closet that can buy my whole block of houses, so you think the person that buys a $200 dollar bag can bankrupt a fashion house😂

[@rahemiin7]

This really goes on to prove beyond belief how HORRRENDOUSLY overpriced the Luxury bags are to begin with

[@brettsprang7991]

SUPER DUPER ridiculous. To be puppet for some brands benefit.

[@ma.dinacarmelino-og1qr]

supe true. and its sad how the working class is obsessing over them. i mean a piece or 2 wouldnt hurt especially if u want to reward urself from hardwork but to be a slave for it just to keep up and show off, that i think is already a vice. and i said working class because the rich rich can easily buy luxury and they’re actually the target market of these brands

[@harinisrini94]

If YOU have to go through so much to identify a fake, I don’t get the fuss about buying real ones anymore. Will gladly buy a fake one and have no shame in admitting it’s a fake 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lucreziawalker952]

But if you want to buy an investment piece to sell on you need the real deal. If it’s for your own use then the fake is clearly better value.

[@NickyM_0]

@@lucreziawalker952 For a couple of hundred pounds and less, no-one is thinking investment. It’s the look and for that the replica is worth every penny and does it’s just job. Plus, any investment gain comes automatically at the beginning with the savings of thousands of pounds!

[@Jduududiaowl]

It's a bag not a house you dont invest in clothes

[@johnalf-yd2uw]

​@lucreziawalker952 These bags cheap to produce are not an investment

[@liebedich6311]

​@lucreziawalker952 there is no investment with christian dior bags. Youre confusing it with Hermes bags.

[@jayantdrummer]

The fact that you, a person in the business of luxury, had to go through so much to find which one is fake IS the reason why people buy fakes - very difficult to tell apart

[@phoenix5054]

Either way, seems like the quality of fakes equals or even exceeds the authentic ones.

[@ariannab7144]

In this case it exceeds the authentic

[@sounbaaby149]

Exceeds clearly, like they do the EXACT same meticulous work on the bag for way less

[@hap6782]

It's mainly the quality of the real ones that is decreasing

Bag 2 (the fake one) is prettier well made than the original 😂😅

[@skincareninja]

[@TanyaTsukrova]

I appreciate the honesty hahah

[@josh-ed7je]

The fact that just the quality of the bag wasn't the biggest indicator aka why buy the real one?

[@Antondmt1]

Exactly. The only thing these luxury brands have going for them is design and quality. When fake bags have the design copied perfectly and quality better, why the hell would anyone buy the real one besides “knowing” that you bought the real one.

[@lucreziawalker952]

For an investment I guess. It gains in value. Whereas buying the fake is for using not storing.

[@MsWeiCube]

Totally agree. If a regular person carried a real CD bag, others may suspect it's a fake. If a rich person carries a fake CD bag, others may thinks it's a real one. Either way, fake bag is sufficient.

[@SolaGratia.]

Wishing all the best to the Dior employee who's currently looking for a new job. Best of luck!

[@monamohammad3494]

🤣

[@ziziscorsese9475]

If they’re almost identical…. Buy the fake one. .

[@TinaandBellesMom]

Exactly. It’s just a big book bag. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. I was shocked to see the inside of these bags. How can they justify asking so much money? As a shopper who spends big on the ready to wear clothes this just seems like a total rip off to buy the real one. Never thought I’d say that!

[@neshkatama9083]

I did got a fake one and I love it lol 😂

[@shuk1ta]

[@marieparklaneinstituut3611]

It’s cheap to buy these things. If you are not rich because you are showing off without enough money. It’s a shameful thing to buy 😮 if you cannot sustain the life of the branded names. Especially if you are not planning to use it to go to right places.

[@doeldoormat]

it is but you can be a bit smart about it and just mix and match buying authentic and fake stuffs, take attention on how you look, you act, have a decent looking car (emphasise on 'looking') and your life would be a bit easier as long as everything is within your means, because looks also bring privilege and leverage especially if your work involves meeting a lot of people

[@noaletmarah547]

The fact that u have to go through all that to determine which one is fake tells you how great these reps are made so I am sure we all know which one to buy now and save a ton of cash

[@xevavexa9649]

Oh my, I remember I chose bag 2 as the real one because the stitches looked better and tidier. 😂

[@littlefairy9696]

I thought the same too! Bag 1's stitching looked messy to me & the wordings aren't as clear 😅

[@Cannedtomatoforsauces]

@@littlefairy9696 it probably is because I have seen other videos of originals and perfect stitching is one of them.

[@lifewithcctran4414]

The 2nd bag one of the handle connecting to the bag is shorter and crooked. Date code is super wrong no FC. That manufacturer does not exist. It's Supposed to be MC, BO, MA for example. Date says that new bag was made in 2010, but book tote came released in 2018. If you can't see the r in Dior well mostly likely it is a fake. CHR in Christian Dior is off not perfect like number 1 bag. Color is more brown cream in bag 2. Size is wrong as well. So he is correct. Number 2 is a fake for 100%. If you are unsure font, weight, size, and date code your fastest answers.

[@lifewithcctran4414]

@@AltaicPride01 Yes correct.. he did say Paris was embroidered better on 2nd bag. Stamp on 2nd bag was pretty close too but wider in font. This was a good replica...an 7.5 out of 10.

[@doeldoormat]

once you put these two bags out of each other's proximity, stuff them with stuff, enter a building in a mixed lighting condition, i believe even a hardcore enthusiast won't be guessing right 100% of the time just by a glance or a gaze in an appropriate distance

[@jn8922]

Well the recent Dior scandal proves the fake and the real one are not much different in how much they cost to make. Turns out their $5000 costs $57 to make and is made by sweat shops. You ought to be ashamed promoting this scam.

[@maryannflowers6502]

If it's that hard to spot the fake one then it's worth to buy it.

[@missa7821]

Yea but we now also know temu are making these bags for Dior for Pennies so its actually really sad when you think of designer bags. They pay pennies for them to be made in sweat factories so you may as well buy a fake as they are made in similar factories.
