Spot the Fake Handbag

(Week 8 Activity)

Designer handbags are beautiful no doubt, you pay the price for quality material and touch of class and time taken to handcraft each piece. But what has always been interesting for me is to see the almost exact (well pretty much exact to most eyes) fake being sold in markets in certain parts of the world for largely lesser prices. If you are a fashion enthusiast and pay attention to touch and feel of the material, sure you would find a way to unspool yourself. But for majority of the folks, you just wouldn’t be able to say. I remember walking through a street market on holiday and we came across a store that sold ‘designer handbags’ at non-designer prices - your first thought? PECULIAR. But looking close, you couldn’t say the difference unless you held the original by its side to observe subtle changes in pattern position, or the stitch used, the shine of a buckle, or the way the logo was placed.

I think it is an art of its own!
