The trend of buying high-end bags seems to be maintaining its consistency. Even non-celebrities are saving money to purchase a designer bag. While owning a designer bag is considered as status symbol, business research has indicated that purchasing such bags are worthwhile investments. An article even claimed that designer bags are better investments than stocks, gold, or even real estate. That is, of course, if one would be ready to part with the bags later on.
Local celebrities are still into owning designer bags, but recently, the public has placed premium on owning real or authentic bags. Over the years, enterprising people have taken advantage of the trend by manufacturing replicas. As technology develops, the replicas can pass off as the real products, as replica manufacturers use the same material as the original products. Only highly trained experts can sometimes distinguish the fake from the original. As most people are untrained, replica owners earn praises for their choice of fake bags.
Other than seeing replicas in certain shopping areas, many sellers have kept their business only to a limited number of clients. Being caught with such goods means high fines and even a jail term. Thus, a Replica Seller (RS) has been careful in transactions and sending the merchandise to buyers. Allegedly, one of the top clients of RS is Known Personality (KP).
Over the years, KP has had a reputation for being among the most appropriately dressed celebrities and has been admired for fashion style and her overall look. Even the bags KP carries around do not escape the eye of her fans and bashers. On the one hand, her fans adore her choices; on the other hand, bashers lambast her look and accuse her of not having her own fashion identity.
The transaction between RS and KP has been going on for a time. Photos of products are online and actually look as closely as authentic products. Clients then place an order if he/she likes what she sees. Being based out of the country, RS is clueless as to what KP means to local fans. Nonetheless, as long as sales are made, sellers would not really care as to the people who buy their stuff.
‘There are rules in advertising, and those rules are self-imposed by the client companies because they don't want their products to be seen as dishonest.’ – Paul Arden

Either of the 2 lang yan. Pero isn’t one of them ka chummy chums yung mga people behind the brand mismo? So I doubt it’s her. Yung isa naman I wonder why di na ginagamit mga bags niya.
ReplyDeleteSame sentiments here. Bigla maglie low si other actress when the replica issue surfaced recently. I bet di nya alam na replica and when she found out she stopped.
Deletetrue, because the website is only promoting one brand, And these 2 actresses are known to have pieces of this brand.
Deletekorek,di nman nyan bitbitin yung crocodile bag kasama ang people behind the brand if fake ito.besides limited yata yun kaya alam sino nakabili,yung chummy isa sya sa nakabili ng original.besides di naman sya all colors eh.yung isa all colors na yata.
Deleteoo nga she even stop using those bags na. kng authentic yun bakit nsa closet nlng
DeleteYung isa straight sa bansang pinagmulan bumibili at vip ituring ng big boss ng bag na yun. So alam na.
DeleteHigh-end brands have their own stores. Buy there for legit purposes. Why choose these so-called online sellers for transactions? Kaloka!
ReplyDeleteAgree. May pera to spend na din naman, right?
Deletebasahin mo, they only want replicas
DeleteYou misunderstood the whole story. Her bags are not authentic after all.
Delete1:21am, hence, the official stores para legit and authentic. If online sellers, fake talaga yan.
DeleteSometimes it's not really easy to get the bag you covet at said stores.
Deletecorrect! kung may pera ka go ka kung saan yung high end stores, Kahit sa Pilipinas gora ka sa Greenbelt, sa Rockwell etc.
Delete1:45 I agree. Waiting list yan, and you'll never know when or if you're even going to get yours. Besides hindi porke online store, fake agad.
DeleteMas mura kasi
DeleteHindi ka pwede basta magwalk in at magturo ng bag sa store nila. May wait time.
DeleteOmg. That is so f'd up.
ReplyDeleteAwww. Buking
ReplyDeleteSi H?
ReplyDeleteTeh dba friendship niya ang designer mismo so i dont think its her.
DeleteHindi rin. She's friends with the executive, di ba?
DeleteNot H. Hello, good friends sila sa tingin mo she'll lug around a fake around him? Jusko hinde noh! She buys it from the actual store. She owns authentic .
Deletehindi si H kasi shopping siya sa real stores.
Deletenot H. im surr she can easily identify real vs fake. this other actress though must be clueless with her inexperienced eye hehe
DeleteDeffinetely not H.
DeleteWHY Buy online when you can go to Greenbelt, RW, Eastwood and more high-end brands?? It’s safer than buying at some online seller.
ReplyDeletecorrect! they have their own stores here in the Philippines, and for the others that you can't find in Manila, why not go to Hongkong or Paris then shop there.
DeleteTrue, lakas makafake ng mga online sellers.
Deletebaka naman aware si actress na fake yung mga bagelya niya
ReplyDeleteYan din naisip ko. Kasi yung online retailer naman advertised na replicas ang binebenta nila. Balik Lang ng balik doon yung actress.
Deleteaware nga daw!
DeleteJusko hina ng comprehension
DeleteGrabe naman sila why do they have to sell high quality replicas and claiming to their clients na its authentic? As a seller / negosyante Hinde ko Kaya gawin yun Sa mga customers ko manloko I'm scared of karma... if you want to buy authentic talaga go the store mismo dun you know Alam mo tunay talaga! Grabe mga sellers ngayon :(
ReplyDeleteCustomer probably knows, heller kung makakaporma ng mas mura e di why not?
DeleteTRUE. THEY'RE BAD FOR DOING THAT.
Deletepero mapapansin at mapapansin pa rin ang fake.
Deleteaware yata coz i’m sure mura ang price,kaya all colors meron sya.
DeleteI rather use a good quality bags than a fake bags... 157. Marami Mas mura bags ngayon Kahit Hinde branded no. No to fake!
DeleteH of KaH?
ReplyDeletenope. Bagets eto.
Deletewrong, kasi close sila ng executive ng real stores at kung minsan makikita mo talaga sa loob siya ng mga high end stores nag shoshopping.
DeleteI think this is N, na feelingera.
Deletepero sabi one of the top celebrities, pano naman naging top itong bagets?walang wala
Deleteno 2:49 tita levels itetch because the online supplier is only selling 1 brand na pang tita levels.
Delete2:49 pang tita levels ang tinutukoy na brand name hindi ito bagets.
DeleteM yan at di sya bagets
DeleteThis is not H. She is chummy with the designers. This is obviously M. She knows these are replicas. How low can she get.
DeleteHindi naman pala Hongkong si N at isa or 2 brand ng bag ang madalas non gamitin, at hindi pangmatandang style.

DeleteUnquote- it fits H perfectly No fashion identity. Gaya dito gaya dun.
Bakit ba nauso yung mga online sellers na yan? Yung mga mayayaman are always out of the country naman and they can buy sa real stores mapa Italy or US or ibang bansa.
ReplyDeleteYes correct, pano makikita ng tao kung authentic ba yan kung on line. Dapat sa totoong stores.
DeleteYung croc bag yata na tinutukoy dito you csnt just come in to a store and get one...
DeleteYou want the particular item ASAP. It is not available in the Philippine store or the nearest countries. Alangan naaman bumiyahe ka just to see if meron.
Deletebashers lambast her look and accuse her of not having her own fashion identity.
ReplyDeletesi M to
Not M
DeleteYan din hula ko si M. Hindi na nga nya dinidisplay yung mga bags nya because all of these are replicas. Kakahiya nga naman.
Deletebaka hindi alam ni M na peke kasi may tiga bili siya
Deleteyan pa lang line na yan alam ko na agad na si M
DeleteYes it’s M
DeleteDeacription also is appropriately dresses so definitely not M..but also not H..bakit silang dalawa lang ba may money to buy designer bags?
DeleteHow can it be M? Hindi naman based overseas yung seller c nya
DeleteH buys from the store itself. And the bigwigs of the brand are all her friends kaya imposibleng magdala yun ng fake. Mga SA there wouldn't even talk to you if they spot a fake
DeleteHalaaa so totoo ang chismis kay H?
ReplyDeleteWhen there’s smoke, there’s fire!
Not her...shes is chummy with the designer so orig siya.
DeleteNo dear! This is not H. Ka chummy nya mismo people behind the brand.and she would always visit them everytime.she goes to their country.
DeleteHindi si H to. Kung follower ka talaga niya alam mo yan.
Deleteno this is not H dahil close nga sila ng executives and nagpupunta talaga siya sa real stores to shop
Deleteit could also be M or S kasi type din nila ang brand na ito.
DeleteThis is M. Don't be in denial.
DeleteImpossible that this is H. She's very close to the executive of that brand and she is always present in that brand's parties.
DeleteThis is M. Baduy pa rin sya tignan kahit anong gawin nya
ReplyDeleteNot her sweetie, hater ka Lang. Yung the other.
Deleteyeah I think its her and she doesn't know na peke na
Deleteikaw yung hater 2:10. H is friends with the executives of this top brand so they would know if she uses fakes.
Delete2:10 sya un dear, tard ka lang.
Deleteyeah this is M she is not sophisticated enough to know what is real and fake. She's not that rich to afford all these items from this particular brand name.
DeleteI think M kasi mahilig sa online sellers. Also says bashers lambast her look and no own identity daw.
ReplyDeleteSame critism can be said about H.
DeleteIndenial si 10:30 AM 😂 all the clues and comments here are unanimous pointing to M
DeleteI don't think this is H. Nakakasama niya yung mga big names sa fashion for sure mahahalata nila kung replica yung gamit niya at hindi na siya imbitahan pa.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteH to mga sis. Goodnight
ReplyDeletenot H kasi friends siya with head and she buys it there. Also, she has her own style and doesn't get bashed for copying someone else's look. This is nega N from LT.
Deletewrong, kasi may sariling style si H and she travels to buy authentic stuff. She doesn't rely on personal shopper.
Delete4:48 wala rin sya sariling style.straight from fashion magazines style nya
DeleteSis @1:58, this is not H lol H and F buy their bags from the same person. Clearly, hindi to si H.
DeleteI don't beleive this is H. She's all authentic and she's friends with all the bigwigs of the brand.
DeleteAnd H doesn't buy from resellers and personal shoppers who can switch an authentic item to a fake.
Mas inexpect ko nga na si M to, pero hindi siya. Si H nga.
Delete8:54 si M yan. Don't be in denial. All clues pointing at her tas nasa tipo pa nya
DeleteM or H although i think it's the former kasi top celebrity daw. Di masyado top celebrity si H
ReplyDeleteOuch -- H not top celebrity so starlet level sya ganun?
Delete1.22 well compare to M, yes. So this is M!
DeleteH or M
ReplyDeleteThe Nega N na adored by fans but have no originality according to bashers.
ReplyDeletehindi eh, sabi one of the top celebrities. Kelan ba naging top yan e flop.
Deleteno, although I don't like N but I don't see her with this brand. Iba ang gamit niya and she is not even close to being one of the top artists in this country.
DeleteSino si N Sis Na curious ako
DeleteNega doesn't tote around designer purses.
DeleteMay designer items ba si N? She always look cheap eh.
DeleteThis is M.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Di naman kasi talaga legit na alta.
Delete2:22 description nga eh known for her fashion style...kelan pa naging known fashionista si M?
DeleteSiya din hula ko
DeleteSi N to. Yung trendsetter kuno
ReplyDeletehindi din 2:11 dahil pag check ko sa website, ang brand na ito ay hindi naman ginamit ni N kahit kelan and hindi siya top celebrity. Negative celeb siya.
Deletesows wag niyo isama si N, dahil flop celebrity yan and ang brand na tinutukoy dito ay sobrang mahal kahalaga ng kotse. so hindi si N phleazzze.
DeleteKaloka mga fantards!!!!! as if naman si M and H lang ang afford bumili ng mamahaling bagelya!
ReplyDeleteSi R itey
ReplyDeletehindi naman top actress.
DeleteSinong R?
DeleteMatagal ng buking si R
DeleteIt's M
ReplyDeleteCould be N???
ReplyDeleteWag kasing display ng display ng branded stuff eh yun naman pala replica lang. kahiya hahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteBaka si N to. She's known to buy items from online shops/sellers based abroad. She buys shoes and clothes and other items for her performances/appearances
ReplyDeleteno, check the website N doesn't flaunt this brand. Yung mga tita levels lang.
DeleteIt’s M. I think M doesn’t know how to spot replicas or authentic items. Fault to ng binibilhan nya, bka d sinasabi s knya na ang inaabot sa knya e hnd nmn pla true. Tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteAlam nga daw n replica binibili eh gustong maging sossy pero waley pa din
Deletetsk tsk not M si H to
DeleteWag pagpilitan si H. Its M na top celebrity but mahilug pala sa replica.
DeleteH! Best in research ako!
ReplyDeleteNot! Research pa more bes!
DeleteSayang ang research besh di ka tumama. Si M yan
DeleteI dont think this is M. Nag lie low na ang ate girl niyo. Eh si H diba ang may pnaglalaban. More likely na siya ang kailangan maghoard ng replica
ReplyDeleteof course para hindi halata replica yung bag nya.
DeleteHindi naman si M madalas bumalik sa HK. So hindi siya. And may personal shopper si M.
ReplyDeletePalusot.alibi.com
DeleteShe does not buy direct from the store. This is M
DeleteM baduy
ReplyDeleteBaduy nga sya kaya hindi sya lol. Read again: she has been known to be appropriately dressed so definitely not M
DeleteBaduy nga sya nagpapakasosyal n pilit Kaya pati replica pinatulan nya tsk tsk poor M gusto makipagkarerahan ayaw gumastos ng orig price
DeleteWho is M H And N please. Clueless here
ReplyDeleteHindi dapat dinisclose nung seller 'yung information ng buyer niya. :(
ReplyDeleteMay picture pa
DeleteSometimes even if you can afford to buy in-store, the store will only give you access to a set quantity and certain style. Which means customer has to wait for the bag they covet. The store has to offer it to them. Depende pa yan sa profile ng customer.
ReplyDeleteThis is not M! dahil ilan lang crocs bags nya at bigay pa ung iba.
ReplyDeleteHellooo lahat nga ng color meron sya dati tapos disappearing act n ngayon tago tago na
DeleteTrue. Yun talaga ang clue. Biglang MIA ang mga bagelya niya
Deletethis is J
ReplyDeletePuro kayo H and M..hindi sila! Nasa title ang initial
ReplyDeleteSino?
DeleteAng masakit niyan, kung halos magkasing price lang yung replica at yung orig, tapos fake pala. Huhuhu.
ReplyDeleteBaka si R ito na isa ng nanay
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteFor those asking why they buy from online sellers: minsan kasi hindi available sa stores yung gusto mo na bag. Kaya hinahanap pa yan sa ibang stores.
The most coveted bag ng H brand hindi mo basta mabibili sa stores nila. That’s why they have to buy online or go abroad to buy it. H the actress cultivated a friendship with her connection because even abroad, you cannot just buy it in their stores. Some stores have 2 years waiting list but honestly they sell it first to those who already have a history of purchasing it. That’s probably why H the actress goes to the city of P because she is already an established customer.
ReplyDeleteTrue!!!!!! Buying H bags (esp K or B) is not as easy as buying in other lux brands....
DeleteSinetch itech! 😱
ReplyDeleteM
DeleteActress daw eh, di singer/actress/dancer. Actress lang
ReplyDeleteTop celebrity daw si M kaya to? Walang sariling fashion style. May kabaduyan pa. Hmmmmm🤔
ReplyDeleteBasa basa din. Description nga eh mahusay manamit ang buyer kaya for sure di si M
DeleteM nga kasi
DeleteOver the years, KP has had a reputation for being among the most appropriately dressed celebrities and has been admired for fashion style and her overall look --- I don't think this is M
ReplyDeleteExactly.. Major clue yan na hindi si M yan
DeleteDeny pa more fantards lol
Deletethis is M, dahil maganda naman manamit si M. she has her own style.
DeleteHonestly , I believe it’s M with the giveaway clues:
ReplyDelete1. Top celebrity, H is not so.
2. Lambasted for looks & accused of not having fashion identity, H has always been so classy with her looks.
3. H mingles with the top designers/owners, M acknowledges online sellers
Read it again: the buyer's description is always appropriately dressed..meaning magaling mag damit and is always fashionably admired.... this is not M.
DeleteMy guess is A of KaF
Asus ngayon naman sinasabi nyo na not fashionably admired si M samantala dati maka accuse at bash kayo din sa isa n ginagaya si M ganun ganun na lang. truth hurts lahat ng comment dito same hula si M kayo lang mga tard indenial.
DeleteAgree ako sa analysis ni 10:25
DeleteC i think
ReplyDeleteSi M itey! Di na nya ginagamit mga bagelya nya. Yikes fake pala!
ReplyDeleteKelan pa naging fashionable si M???
DeleteDi ba fashionable n fashionable para sa inyo si M puro nga branded suot nyan db kaya nga laging May comparison Kay H kasi nga nakikipagcompete sa branded bags at dresses. Ngayon na puro Kay M ang clues deny na kayo n fashionable hayyyy life ng faney 😜
DeleteThis is R
ReplyDeleteshe's not a big celeb
DeleteM
ReplyDeleteIn denial mga faneys ni M. Kung sinu sino tinuturo
ReplyDeleteAgree lol ngayon nman di dw si M kasi di daw fashionable samantala dati all praises sila sa fashion style ni M
DeleteTruth hurts kasi buking na buking sapul
DeleteDi ka kasi marunong mag basa ng clues:: appropriately dressed and has been known to be fashionable ang clues
DeleteI think its C a former top star ng Kaf.
ReplyDeleteTuro pa more lol si M yan waley n iba p besh
Deleteparang hula ko si g ito....
ReplyDeleteHula ko si komedyanang R! Yung may malaking future!
ReplyDeletehindi niya afford ang bag na ito, bilang lang sa daliri ang meron.
DeleteBut di nman sya nagpupuntang Hongkong so sinetch itey?
ReplyDeleteHindi nman ito si M. Accdg to her bashers she’s baduy dba? Sbi sa BI fashionable raw mga ate girl. And hindi lng si M at H ang mahilig sa designer bags
ReplyDeletesi H kasi yan, nakakahiya prend. divert pa more
DeleteThis is M.
DeleteSi s siguro to.... Wife ni r
ReplyDeleteObviously thi is M.
ReplyDeleteKilala ko to! Matagal ko nang hinala na fake bags nya.si K to ng KAH. Hindi top actress pero nanalo dati sa reality show madami bags kuno na designer bags hahahaha yun na!
ReplyDeleteay naku sabi top actress, so hindi pwedeng pichugin
DeleteIt’s so unlikely na magssend si KP ng payment via WU 😂
ReplyDeleteIts "H" haha!!
ReplyDeleteObviously not!
Delete6:40 yes dear si H to
DeleteHa Ha. WRONG fantard. Si M ito. In denial pa more.
Deletei think this is G, shes is always in HK with her TH friends.
ReplyDeleteSa yaman ni G do you really think bibili yan ng replica eh namimigay nga ng kadatungan lately puro charity. This Is M
DeleteI think it's K. The super skinny n kaH pero indenial na anorexic
ReplyDeleteno hindi siya fashion icon, and these bags are not her style, pang tita ito.
DeleteR?
ReplyDeleteSi H yan
ReplyDeleteMy guess is M
ReplyDeleteI think this is K. She might be rich but not that rich to get so many designer bags coz she's not one of the highest paid actresses in their station. Dati ko pa yan pinagdududahan pati sister nya makadisplay ng bag. 😒
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is, I hope she didn't pay for original price. If she did, that's sad and illegal.
ReplyDeleteWhen I googled his website ang sabi naman ay authentic daw ang mga tinda nila. So it means kalokohan lang 'yon?
ReplyDeleteWow si M agad? Si K yan. Daming faneys ni H here masyado.
ReplyDelete
