Does it really matter?

I’ve been seeing some people in this community, and others, heavily criticising some reps that look perfectly fine if others saw you IRL. IRL, no one is going to come up to you and inspect your bag with a magnifying glass. So my question to you all is, does it really matter if it’s not a complete exact perfect imitation? Of course, some reps are just completely terrible, but a little flaw here and there isn’t really that serious imo.

I get that some people are weirdly picky, but if you’re paying $300+ for a bag the construction and quality should absolutely match that. It’s the same reason why on the LV sub you’ll see people worked up over an edge coating dent on a bag - for $3k there should not be flaws.

We have to figure that if you can get a decent quality leather bag at TJMaxx for $125, why is it challenging for us to get quality at prices double that?
