First off, let’s be real, the whole idea of a “mirror quality” fake is kinda…well, a marketing ploy. Like, seriously, who *actually* sees their reflection in a handbag? Unless you’re using it as, like, a makeshift mirror in a dark club bathroom, I don’t see it happening. Anyway…
The gist is, these “mirror quality” fakes are supposed to be, like, *super* close to the real deal. We’re talking about artisans, apparently, in Guangzhou (yeah, China’s knock-off central) slaving away to meticulously recreate every stitch, every detail. Or so the hype goes.
Now, I’ve seen some pretty convincing fakes in my time, and let me tell ya, they’re getting GOOD. Like, scary good. But there’s always *something* off. Maybe the stitching is a *teensy* bit wonky, or the leather just doesn’t smell quite right (real LV leather has a distinct smell, trust me). Sometimes, it’s something really obvious, like the size number on the leather being totally off-center – like, what were they even thinking?!
And this whole centered thing? Apparently its a common mistake! A total red flag for a fake. You’d think they’d get that right by now, considering how many Neverfulls are out there getting copied. It’s like, do your research, fake bag makers!
Look, the Neverfull is *everywhere*. It’s, like, the go-to tote for a reason. And because it’s so popular, it’s, like, target number one for counterfeiters. That’s why you gotta be super careful.
Honestly, if you’re spending a decent amount on *any* bag, especially a supposed “mirror quality” fake, you might as well just save up a little longer and get the real thing. Peace of mind, ya know? Plus, supporting the real brand and all that jazz.
But hey, if you’re dead-set on a replica, do your research! Check the stitching, the placement of the size number, the smell of the leather (if you can), and compare it to pictures of the real thing online. There are tons of authentication guides out there.
