When fake brands start receiving the same level of attention, they also become significant-it’s all about perspective. Focusing too much on these things can reveal a lot about a personality. Honestly, if you’ve ever visited “Mandelas Lagos,” you’d be surprised by the quality of the fakes or imitations there, and you might
even be tempted to buy one. Don’t overthink fashion. Wear what suits you, brings you peace, and fits your budget.”
