Hi!
I'm not well-versed in luxury designer bags...
and I'm not fussy about the brands as long as I like the design and it's of good quality material / workmanship
(Although, there're brands / designs I avoid simply coz too many people ard me carries them, or hav seen too many imitations )
Found this online website - http://www.tuscanyleather.it/en/main.html
And I'm interested in a couple of their bag designs.
Had posted it in the 'Authenticate This' thread as well to check reliability as couldn't find web reviews on this brand.
Received feedback that the online website seems genuine and bags are not counterfeits, but designs are probably designer-inspired.......
........ Here lies my dilemma ........
What do you classify as 'designer-inspired' vs 'imitation/counterfeit'???
--- Is it just a matter of whether it has a fake branding/logo on the bag???
I'm actually ok if a bag is slightly 'designer-inspired', because think that there are some design elements that are quite basic / generic...
and the design elements are not linked to just 1 particular designer brand.
But I don't want to carry bags that are easily recognisible as a particular designer brand's model, in case it gets mistaken as an imitation/counterfeit...
Where do you "draw the line" when it comes to 'designer-inspired' bags..??
