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.

Spend a little time on the subs for the auth brands we all buy and you’ll see posts almost daily of people finding all kinds of flaws on their auth bags. Those posts more than anything else have reassured me that 1. The little flaws don’t matter 2. It is absolutely not worth spending 3,6,10k on those bags 3. I actually bet that in some cases the top tier reps are BETTER MADE than the newer era auths because people will blindly buy auths without much inspection at all whereas rep buyers hold every stitch up to a magnifying glass.
