Had an overdue lunch with my cousin at Ayam Penyet Ria which btw, i love the crumbs :D What perfect way to pair my favourite music icon tshirt with a perfect vintage blazer at a price of $3, so i brought it out to play! There is this topic that i think all those who have a passion for fashion would have heard about which is : Would you buy a fake Louis Vuitton bag than the real one?
I know those who are really serious about fashion would give an absolute NO because having the real thing would mean that you are one of the lucky few and you would be in an "exclusive" club. But would you really buy a real balenciaga motor bag that cost a few thousand dollars rather than an imitation or us singaporeans would call "inspired bags"?
The practical side of me would say of course i would buy the fake ones because i would rather pay my bills using that money that could buy me those bags. However, if i were to be the designer, those bags would be my livelihood. I would want people to buy my "a few thousand" dollars bags. I know how designers feel when they see people "copy" their designs and sell it at a lower price because i've been there. I studied 4 years majoring in interior design and i know that it is very very difficult to be able to come up with your own designs without having comparisons with people because the past designs were the ones that nurtured and taught us the beginnings of everything. However, if i were the designer, i would make a contract clause to everyone. If you want to buy a fake bag, you can..but you have to buy the real thing when you save up! Its a win win situation!
If you have any comments about this matter, feel free to write it in the comments box because i sure do love a good discussion :D
