Battle of the bags

We have all found ourselves pinching pennies and sweeping loose change under the living room carpet just to save a dollar and it's no news that the economic crisis has put a huge strain on our pockets. While those with a disposable income continue to splurge on life’s best and others can’t help but avoid unneccessary spending and the battle of keeping a plump piggy bank seems to never end. This is the same across the board where ever you go. When the economy wasn’t as turbulent we all had an opportunity to indulge in that one purchase the would satisfy our inner diva, I mean come on that “It hand bag “ that you fell in love with in the shop window while sipping a nearly watered down Starbucks frappuccino. You know the one that is going to put a huge dent in you bank account and cause your wallet to whistle because you’re so strapped, yes that one! While you splurge on that fine handcrafted Louis bag that took hours to confect others have looked towards internet sites like Allthebesthandbags.com to purchase fake designer handbags all for the sake of saving the all mighty dollar all the while hurting the reputation and exclusivity of coveted luxury leather goods brands.   The International Chamber of Commerce has estimated that 7 percent of our annual world trade — more than $600 billion — is in counterfeit or pirated goods. Experts believe that the fake trade costs legitimate businesses up to $250 billion in lost revenue every year in the U.S. alone. While some sites claim that they are selling you the “real thing” others admit to selling designer replicas. The word luxury has meaning quality, beauty and exclusivity with a valued life long reputation for craftsmanship and shouldn’t be tainted with unlawful acts of piracy and counterfeiting. replica-hermes.co is a site that helps and highly promotes the fight against luxury counterfeiting by holding events and conferences that bring awareness to consumer and businesses about the harsh reality of counterfeiting. So the next time you want to save a few dollars keep in mind that the real thing is always the most stylish way to go.
