Knock Off Bags
I don’t know how I ended up browsing the Internet for bags and accessories last night. I was looking for new hobo bags by branded designers the likes of Gucci, Balenciaga, Louie Vuitton, Babila and others. I was looking at the pretty new designs by Gucci. I was mesmerized by the designs but I know that I can never afford to buy those branded bags unless it’s the knock off. Mind you I’d much rather have the knock off than the real one displayed in the Internet. I don’t think I could walk around and go out of my house with a branded bag that costs as much as my one year budget for myself. I mean I am the girl that’s happier with used bags bought @ “Knock-Off Store” here in Manila. I have had a lot of branded bags bought from this store. This costs me less than 5% of the original price. Sometimes if I am luckier I could find branded bag with sample tag in it never been used but submitted as sample to Wal-Mart and other multinational retailers abroad. There’s a couple of knock-off store (friendly ukay-ukay in layman’s term) within our office vicinity that I will usually dropped by on my way home, just a stone’s throw away from our office building. My officemate Emy and I was a regular patron of the said ukay-ukay store that sells mostly branded bags. Last week we dropped by again to search for a new find as the owner informed us that he has new arrival with a couple of branded bags. Emy was able to buy 2 bags for her and her daughter Kay. I was able to find Babila leather bag and Classica backpack for my nephew LJ. I am not ashamed telling the whole world that I am a loyal patron of this ukay-ukay store so it would just be weird to walk around with a bag that’s worth that much. Even if I did win in lotto or any lottery for that matter I will still not buy branded bags worth that much which can be worth a simple house.
Have a nice day to everyone.
