Why counterfeit is not the way you should go

In this era of immense popularity in fashion, everybody wants to be dressed with the latest and greatest trends. These trends often are associated to high fashion brands that are, as we talked before , quite expensive. Some people simply cannot understand  how a sneaker can cost over a thousand dollars, and it's okay, because it really seems like a lot! With that amount of money you are putting on a pair of shoes you have to know what you're paying for, the experience and prestige of the brand, the outstanding effort in design and the quality itself (but note that there are certain exceptions). If you are still not convinced, just don't buy them. The biggest mistake of people that are not ready to pay that amount is to buy a fake piece. They say "it's the same, it looks just like a real so why would I pay for it". The problem with this is that some people, who are actually into this way of life and into fashion pay for the real and lose that aspect of rarity in their piece. These counterfeiters are litteraly stealing money from the brands by copying and remaking a cheap copy of them. Plus, most of the time, it's really easy to realise that they are fake, so don't be susprised if people judge you! Like we said previously, high fashion isn't for everyone, and you should stay away from it if you only think you're gonna look "cool" with a Gucci belt, because you don't. Obviously there are certain exceptions when people buy something that they think is real, with a good intention, for a fraction of the price, so be careful and look for ways to authenticate the piece. Fashion is an expression of your personnality and a form of art, and you should start looking into it before buying anything. With that being said, I only have one thing to say ; if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true!
