Wholesale Designer Handbags – Why Wholesalers Should Not Sell Fake Handbags

There are not many consumers who can afford a true designer handbag. Many sought after designers, like Gucci, Prada, Burberry, and Coach, offer luxurious, high demand merchandise for hundreds to thousands of dollars. In this economy, an individual can not afford to buy one of these bags, let alone a wardrobe full.

It is easy to tell yourself that you will save up the money to buy the real thing, but it is far easier to give in to the temptation to purchase a bag that is a close replica to the real thing.

As a retailer or wholesaler, you might be thinking the same sort of thing. Maybe you could push more product if you sold knock offs instead? Here are some reasons to avoid following that route.

Reputation
When I was in high school, my daddy often reminded me about how important my reputation was. It may seem like a trivial thing to worry about, but once you become known for selling poor quality products it is difficult to change the market’s impression of you. Would you not prefer to be known for selling top quality merchandise at wholesale prices?

Quality
In order to sell replica bags at great prices, something in the manufacturing of the bags must be sacrificed. Often it is poor material, weak seams and stitching, and overall bad craftsmanship that make a fake bag. Your customers will not thank you for it.

Legality
If the products you sell are copies, but are not listed as fake, then you could get into quite a bit of legal trouble. If you do decide to sell this type of merchandise, make sure your customers know that the bags are not the real thing.

At the end of the day, you can garner more success and traffic by becoming known as a retailer or wholesaler that offers legitimate designer handbags at wholesale prices. For assistance in finding wholesale bags, try out an online directory, like Salehoo, to help narrow down your choices. It might take more work upfront to start a reputable business, but you and your customers will appreciate your success even more knowing that you worked so hard to be a reputable name in your industry.
