In the fashion business, there are all kinds of terms that are applied to describe various kinds of products. Certain terms could be very tricky while others turn out to be confusing. For instance, are you aware of the very differences about the three terms, designer, designer inspired and replica? Possibly not. Make it possible for me to differentiate to you with my poor knowledge in the following.

The particular term “designer” actually means that the exact product is originally designed by a certain designer. For instance, a designer handbag of a prominent brand is designed by the very brand’s own designer and enjoys extraordinary design and signature qualities. The term “designer inspired”, but, tend to incline that the design of this product is inspired by a certain style of a certain brand. Take a designer inspired timepiece for instance; it could have its inspiration from a classic branded watch. This designer inspired wrist watch might share some traits with the exact branded timepiece, such as the very same material, the very same case style or the same crown design etc. And the term “replica” is similar to fake or imitated. A replica product will the fake or imitated product of a certain branded product. While their price is much less than the original, their good quality can not match with some of those authentic ones either. Therefore, when you are buying a replica product, you need to decide by yourself if it is worthy or not. Don’t be disguised by the term replica and the low price.

With all the above descriptions, I hope you are clear at present about the difference of most of these three terms. I believe that there must be most confusing terms blowing the minds of consumers. All we need to do is to learn as much as possible about their distinction and be a smart consumer.
