Why are the Fake Bags now so Expensive?

[nichola]

I don't know much about the prices good or otherwise of fake designer bags but in Fethiye there is a nice bag shop called Funda on the oppisite side and end of the street with the new Kotton shop and those bags are extremely good quality.

Kalkan is god for handbag shops and if you have a bit more time go along to Kas another 20 mins on from Kalkan, lots of levey shops there and a beautiful drive.

My daughter had her bag stolen on a night out in Chester.  Only her phone and ID in there (She'd spent up and doesn't take plastic with her on a night out in case she loses her bag !).  Phoned the police to report the theft. Was asked if anything valuable taken. She said only her phone. Police asked about the bag. She said - only a D & G - Police said - well that must have cost alot!  Daughter - oh no, I got it in Turkey its blag.   Police warns her that this is an offence but on this occasion will overlook the offence.

The bags are only expensive if you pay their prices

I did not pay their prices by buying, but the question was "Why are the fake bags so expensive this year?".  It's not a question of buying one, it's a question of why the price has risen.  
I always look at the bags in Calis/Fethiye when we come over, I have bought lots of bags in the area, they have always been a good price.  This time each shop with the better made fakes, even after haggling (I am a good haggler, I have to be in my job). were asking much higher prices this year i.e. bag that was £90.00 last year, cheapest price this year £150.00.
Some of these bag shops are asking up to £390.00 for fake bags.
I bought a genuine Chloe bag in the Outlet Village outside New York last year for $400 in their annual sale.  The original price ticket on the bag was  $1,200... Now that's what I call a bargain.  So there is no way I am going to pay £150.00 for a fake.

:DJacqui - you seem to have a handbag problem !!:D:D

Confession time... It's shoes as well!!!!

Doesnt seem like a problem to me! you go Jacqui! Presume you went to Woodbury Common when in NYC- bargains galore!

[Jacqui Harvey]

What can I say Maria, Woodbury Common is a wonderful place... I am lucky enough to have been a few times, the bargains are unbelievable. In my humble opinion the best place for shoes especially the Jimmy Choo outlet, and bags.  I actually got a real leather Calvin Klein bag for £15.00. on which the jeweller in Dickmen's Fethiye remarked to me, "That's a very expensive bag".  Good job they have lockers for rent at Woodbury, as spending the whole day there you need somewhere to keep putting the carrier bags.
