Are brand names really worth the dollar? How?

Are name brands really worth the dollar value? Now for everyone that wants a authentic bag, why not consider a knock off?

I say they are not worth the money!!! I recently bought a LV Ribera mini bag, I only have brought the bag out in a total of 11 times, LV is known supposeld for their sturdyness and good quality and you are able to use the bag for yrs to come.

Funny thing is, I have barely even used the bag and the clasp rivit fell right off and I don't even know where it fell off too.

I have owned knock offs as well, and they have lasted a much longer time than a real one. If they both look the same, why buy a real one when a fake one cost a fraction of the price?

I agree with you on most aspects, I would rather buy a no name brand bag, after my last experience with them, I have no intention on buying them no more, since they fall apart and don't last for their $,

how ever if I have to buy one, I would rather buy a knock off now, since I wouldn't feel as bad when they fall apart.

Theres a difference between a knock off and the real designer. People are basically paying the price for the quality and manufacturing of a product. Many designer products like bags and shoes are handmade rather than machine made. Some brand names are well worth it but some aren't, it really all depends on the person.

hehe it's just the logo guys, dnt get fooled.

You see those shirts with a horse (argh forgot the name) and whole shirt is on colour, and the only difference it makes with other shirts is that it has the bloody logo, making us pay more.

But hey, @ least it looks coool lol
