Quality, exclusivity, style or status. There are several justifications for those who do not give up buying designer items (and thus pay dearly for a famous label). However, care must be taken not to fall into the trap of replicas, which are increasingly similar to the original products.
"It is worth paying the high price of famous designer items because of their finish and durability," says designer Amalia Piffero. And these are the first questions to ask to attest to the originality of the product you intend to buy: is the finish perfect? Is the material used quality?
These are the big differentials of branded products, since the idea is that they are not as perishable as their counterparts. "By purchasing a designer piece you will be composing your wardrobe with a virtually eternal classic," adds the designer.
The tip is to carefully check the details, which are one of the major concerns of manufacturers of fine parts. Check the fabric linings, seams and even the hardware, which should be plated with noble metals to not peel and last for a long time.
Another important feature to note is whether the store offers a certificate of product quality and warranty for repairs. The rule here is simple: If you trust your club, you are not afraid that the item sold will bring major defects in the future and thus committing to product quality is a great testament to confidence. And here, among us, the least expected of those who charge such high prices.
Finally, try to buy designer products directly from branded stores or from authorized retailers. And remember that there is no miracle: the price of these items is really high. Be wary of offers with very significant discounts, common on many sites out there.
When in doubt, always shop live to observe product quality on time, but nevertheless, be aware that when you shop outside the brand store, you are taking the risk of getting a well-disguised replica. Some say that many of them are not even noticed by brand store employees themselves, much less by fashion bloggers.
