Fabulous fakes





Hmmmm in total I probably have roughly 60,70 handbags; maybe more or less. I'm not sure exaclty. Collecting handbags is a more obsession of mine. Some people love shoes, I love handbags and the more the merrier.
Lately I have gotten into the trend of designer alternative bags. I think that started with working on Amartab Online Bazaar. After I bought my first fabulous fake, the pewter Fendi Spybag I was releaved a year later once they weren't as popular anymore that I had only spent a few quid on mine as opposed to the $2,500 I have seen them for at Bloomies. Damn, I think, I would feel like total shit if I have spent that much on a bag only not to carry a year later. I don't see how some of those ladies do it. But hey they can afford it. What I like about my Spybag is that it's one of the better quality ones and not like those cheap looking tacky ones you see at the kiosk at the local shopping centre.
The charcoal Gucci look-a-like is great as an overnight bag. It's a very large bag and would not be as easy for me to carry as an everyday bag. I love the charcoal metallic colour. It's very different and stands out.
I have the Gucci wannabe horsebit bag in metallic charcoal and bronze too. Just wish I had not overdone it on the metallics--it gets old after awhile. These bags are great but very much for evening wear in big cities. It's actually a lot flash in person.
I love my new black Balenciaga wannabe bag too. This bag works well with a lot of stuff and unlike most styles you can carry this one for a bit and not feel so bad.
At first I didn't believe in copied work but now I realise that I wouldn't be Fendi or Balenciaga's customer either way. I can't afford the real thing and the fake is not theirs to begin with--so either way they still loose with some of us.
But guess what? For the sake of the fashion police I will not be steppin into Paris with any of these

Hi there, my name is Estelle-Ruby. Started this blog to keep up with my interests in fashion, travel, style and just life in general. Spend half my time in London and the other half in Texas. Right now I am home in Texas and looking forward to returning to the UK as soon as possible. I'm really missing my fun life there. I enjoy lots of things including; fashion, shopping, travelling, the arts,cooking; I've got a keen interest in world culture. I love bellydance and Flamenco dance even though I can do neither. ;-) Great to watch someone else do it.
