Fancy Bags and Replica Bags are two different types of handbags. Replica bags are the ones you see in the stores that look exactly like designer bags with logos, names and designs of famous companies. These bags are usually made from real leather but some are made from imitation leathers too. If you want to buy a replica bag, then your choice is very wide. There are many brands out there which make their own replicas of designer bags. But if you want something unique, branded and authentic then you need to go for a genuine bag.

The other type of bag is called “Fancy Bag”. A fancy bag is a bag that isn’t designed by any company or designer. You can find these bags at flea markets, antique shops, street vendors, online retailers etc. They have been made by people who love fashion and they have a certain style. The quality may not be as good as the real bags but it’s still better than the cheap fake ones.

But do you really know what kind of bag you are looking for? Here are 6 things to keep in mind before you decide on buying a Fancy bag.

1. Genuine vs. Fake Designer Bags

There are so many fake bags available online or offline that it is impossible to tell whether it is a real one or not. To identify a genuine bag, you must check its authenticity first. Some of the ways to do this is taking a picture of the bag and putting it up on Instagram where you’ll get lots of opinions regarding the bag. Also, checking whether the bag has the logo of the brand printed on the bag itself or not. This will also help you figure out whether the bag is genuine or not.

2. Brand Names

You should always check the name of the bag. It shouldn’t just have a generic word or an abbreviated version of the full brand name. For example, Gucci bags don’t have ‘G’ written at the back or sides of the bag. All the brand names have the full names written on them. In case you’re confused about the name, look at the signature on the bag. That will give you a clear idea.

3. Handles

Check whether the handles are attached properly. The handles should be securely fixed to the bottom of the bag. The straps should be strong enough to hold the bag without breaking. Check also whether they are long enough.

4. Type of Material

Real leather is a bit expensive so you might prefer the cheaper imitation ones. However, there are many reasons why buying a leather bag is a great decision! Leather is beautiful, durable and timeless! You can choose between suede, nubuck, pebble grain leather, micro-perforated leather, embossed leather, tanned or oiled leather, lizard skin, crocodile skin, ostrich skin, kangaroo skin, lizard hide, water buffalo hide, calfskin, etc.

5. Care and Maintenance

Replica bags don’t care much about how they dress themselves. So, you must treat them more carefully. Try not to use harsh chemicals when cleaning your bag. Use mild soap and water and dry off completely after using the cleaner. Don’t use abrasive cleaners. Make sure to clean the bag regularly and dry it off well. Avoid getting the bag wet.

6. Size and Shape

If the bag is meant to fit in all the pockets of your jeans, then it should be big enough. Otherwise, it won’t be able to do that. If you’re buying a small bag, try to fill it with something heavy because it will ensure that it stays put.

The shape and sizes of the coee bags is the most important thing to look for when purchasing the one form the market. A person should go for the size that they think will be set usable option for them in the future. The try for the person be to go for the trending shape and size of the bags.

It can also double up as a crossbody bag and a clutch. The best way to find out what kind of fancy bags you like is to try them out and feel their weight in your hand. Then decide whether you would like to continue wearing it or not.

If you think you’ve found the perfect replica bag, go ahead and purchase it. Be careful though because some replica bags contain harmful materials.

They are usually made of cheap plastic material and they don’t open or close properly. So, you may end up losing a lot of money! Another thing that you need to take care of is fake stitching. When you handle the bag, you’ll notice that it doesn’t feel as soft as the real ones. Also, it’s quite easy to spot the difference.
