Love Handbags for life...

I stands for imitation designer handbags.

When talking about imitation designer handbags, I do not mean the kind of imitation or replica that is equal to counterfeiting, where handbags from designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci are made in varying quality; sometimes the intent is only to fool the gullible buyer who only looks at the label and doesn't know what the real thing looks like, while others put some serious effort into mimicking fashion details.

What I do mean is high street shops copying haute couture fashion by bringing out their own editions of handbags. A good example for this is the Chloe Paddington bag. I remember buying a little handbag at TKMaxx myself that looked a little bit like a Chloe Paddington bag, it had a Paddington lock and a similar shape.

The Paddington handbag designed by Phoebe Philo for Chloe has become one of the the iconic handbags that graces countless celebrity arms. The padlock handbag on the right features all the distinctive characteristics that the original Paddington Bag on the left has!

Purses that are made by the world's most famous designers can cost as little as several hundred dollars and as much as several thousand dollars. To some, the price is not a factor. To others, paying such high prices just to carry a good looking and fashionable purse is out of the question. In fact, the high prices that are charged for designer purses can seem downright absurd.

Purchasing a designer imitation purse instead of an authentic one is an option that is becoming more and more popular as replicas become higher quality and just as fashionable as the real things.
Many fake designer purses, which are illegal, can be purchased off the street in large cities such as London. Fake purses are items that illegal manufacturers produce in order to pass the purses off as authentic.

Designer replica purses, on the other hand, are items which have been designed with inspiration from authentic designer purses. The companies that sell replicas do not attempt to pass off their purses as authentic designer handbags. Instead, they are clear about the fact that their purses are only simulated designer bags – not illegal fakes.

Some of the most popular designer replica purses include those similar to:

• Louis Vuitton
• Gucci
• Prada
• Chanel
• Christian Dior
• Hermes
• Burberry
• Fendi
• Kate Spade
• Coach

There are many other designer brands which are also replicated. Basically, it can pretty much be assumed that anything that is both extremely fashionable and extremely expensive will be simulated by another company. Manufacturers which specialize in producing replica purses are able to make good-looking purses, but sell them for much less than authentic purses cost.
