Do you buy fake branded items?

[Gumusut_Amige]

seen some fake t-shirts and jerseys na talagang maganda noong nag work ako sa Thailand.
sa isang mall, sa mga walkways meron nagtitinda ng mga imitation at doon sa dept store ay mga original. hindi ko masabi kung alin sa kanila ang fake! kaya sa labas na lang kami namimili.
pag watch naman, it's just a waste of money na bumili ng imitation kahit pa sabihin nila na class A+!

Sa lazada and other online store ko binili yung mga designer lighting replica (drop lights, pendant lights , wall light, floorstanding) nung pinagawa namin yung farm/vacation house sa province.

Covid time nun, mas convenient to buy online. Save me a lot sa time and money.

Maganda naman ang quality and dififcult to differentiate since high ceiling yung haus ( 12 ft, floor to ceiling)

yun din nasa isip ko... kasi, using NBA/PBA jerseys as an example (may kilala kasi akong collector)

Nike official jersey partner ng NBA
so if we say "replica," wala syang logo ng Nike?

as for the PBA naman... nagulat ako sa friend kong collector.
iba material and quality ng "game worn" jerseys nila compared to the ones na nabibili sa malls

may game worn NBA jerseys din sya, kaso di namin ma-compare yung quality with store bought, play-offs kasi yung game worn na nabili nya.

i don't know if this is the usual practice,

an athlete says,
"don't wear new outfits, especially shoes, to a championship event.
the uniform isn't broken-in yet, and your body will react to its "discomfort" at wearing a still-new outfit.

in pawn stars,
"this outfit looks mint. i doubt if it was worn at all, as claimed."

I think even for non athletes that's true.

new clothes that need breaking in,
best be worn when there is little at steak, i.e., practice events or non-events.
or they be washed several times in a row... sayang lang ang pag-laba, highs.

I guess it depends to one's "pamahiin"

Michael Jordan always wore new shoes every game.

With handbags pag replica they copy the exact design but leave out the brand.

Yes.

One other point is Replicas never try to pass themselves off as the original, Usually the brand label is not printed and other features present in the original brand is not present, materials used is also different.
Sometimes a local garment maker replaces the branded logo.
But in reality, you get what you can when it comes to these jerseys.
