Handbags

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience buying replica handbags on the web. I've found a website - freeshippinghandbag and it looks ok but don't know whether to go ahead or not.. could they be terrible, could I get asked to pay duty and VAT as they arrive in the country. Thanks and I hope I'm putting this in the right place - first time posting on mumsnet and yes I know buying replica handbags isn't that cool Wink

Why buy replica?? Often cheap and nasty imitations of the real thing.....what are you looking for and whats your budget...

I love handbags, sure I could help!Grin

That tan tassle hobo is v like what I was looking at - I really would love a YSL tan Rocky or Roady hobo but too expensive. On the website I mentioned earlier has it but I don't know about buying it from a replica website..

I prefer mine if i'm honest...italian leather and I doubt i'll bump into anyone with the same bag..Smile

Fendi are a fortune. I have a tiny one in the same fabric and it was over £200.

Maryqueenofchocs · 21/08/2010 10:15

ummmm, that sounds ok, but over £400 for a synthetic tote is a little mad imo..Shock

PaulineCampbellJones · 21/08/2010 10:23

It is. Lovely bags but the price tag doesn't match what else you could buy with your money IYKWIM. I do still use mine and it looks good as new after about 8 years but I wouldn't buy it now!

Maryqueenofchocs · 21/08/2010 14:09

I could buy a few gorgeous handbags for £400....I'm a serial bargain hunter!

PaulineCampbellJones · 21/08/2010 14:32

Me too now!

vogueking.com sell some lovely quality replica handbags. I know people have bought from them on mn with success. I haven't personally yet, but as soon as I get my first wages from my new job, I intend to.

Maryqueenofchocs - just seen a bag v similar to the nice tassle one you linked to on the Banana Republic website - smaller tassle but bit cheaper here. Yours is lovely shade of brown tho!

Maryqueenofchocs · 21/08/2010 16:39

Thanks ollie, had a look, I prefer the shape of the Peony & Moore one somehow, and the tassle is alot nicer imo...thanks for the link though, helps the decision making!

I bought a replica Fendi Baby Spy from Beubag, it is exactly like the real thing, lovely quality leather. They do a very good range of bags.

sleepysox · 21/08/2010 21:32

I like the look of Beaubag too. I have my eye on a Mulberry on VK atm. It's a Mulberry hobo style (can't remember the style name tho- I'm useless at this time of night!).
