Cheap Designer Handbags is there a Difference?

Cheap Designer bags are fun to have and carry for a while, by that I must point out cheap designer bags do not last. they are usually made out of plastic,(made to look like leather) and it cracks and tears pretty quickly. So if you get a month or two out of it, you are doing good. If you can get them at a cheap enough price, then it is worth it to buy the knock offs. However it has been my experience that they charge full retail,or as close as they can get to it. I have had about four cheap Designer Bags, and everyone has self destructed within 3 months tops. I have learned my lesson the hard way, so rather then paying five or six hundred for the real thing, I went to a well known leather store and picked up a red leather (100%)shoulder bag, on sale, and have carried it for five years.
