mariab6 3 months agoHaving handled & learned how to authenticate designer pieces from knock offs for my job, I can tell you the difference is in quality. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but at the end of the day these DIY are cheap and look it. That being said, I don’t buy something BECAUSE it is designer but because it works with my personal fashion sense and lifestyle - and the only time I’ve bought designer anything is at consignment shops where it’s at a steep discount. If you really love DIY, make something that works for you - not because Karl Lagerfeld said it was the next big thing.

primavolta 3 months agoproblem is that a lot of people just get sucked up into believing that a lot of stuff which is essentially DIY gluing with expensive materials is actually worth a huge chunk of their income. At the end of the day, the mark-up on some of the highest end designer product is insane.. like 500% in some cases. ridic.
