She wants a Birkin, not a Briken! Her having a Briken is not a good look for anyone.
1. Cheap Isn’t Chic
Sorry, not sorry! If that luxury bag is priced like a takeout dinner, it’s probably a fake.
2. Check for Typos
If it’s “Pradda” instead of “Prada,” keep scrolling.
3. No Returns? Big Red Flag
“All sales final”? They don’t want it back. It’s not real, and now you’re stuck with it.
4. Beware of Social Media “Deals”
Those TikTok ads for “genuine” items at 95% discounts? Yeah, that is too good to be true.
5. Use a Flashlight on Sneakers
High-end shoes are consistent under a flashlight. If you see odd glues or stitching, it’s a fake.
6. Ignore Flowery Language
“100% real genuine product with leather material”? They aren’t convincing anyone. We know the truth, and you should too.
7. “Exclusive” Deals That Aren’t Exclusive
If it’s everywhere, it’s not unique. Exclusive deals to the public is an oxymoron. Trust me, the Whatsapp or TikTok seller is not your friend.
8. A Fake Beauty Product Makes You Look Worse
Don’t buy beauty products from unauthorized sellers. That fake foundation is going to do more harm than good.
9. Research the Seller
Check reviews and contact info. No details? No deal.
10. The Oprah Test
Would Oprah buy it? Would Oprah gift it? If not, you probably shouldn’t either.
Bottom Line: If you want to keep them around until the next holiday season, don’t buy them a dupe. Buy them the real deal or knit them a scarf or something.
