These days, it seems like knockoffs and counterfeit goods are everywhere you look. The number of people purchasing and using them—even to the point of "showcasing" them—is rising.

Why is this the case, though? Would the quantity of counterfeit goods increase if there wasn't a strong market for them? Not at all!

What makes someone choose to buy an "inferior" product on purpose or for any other reason? For many, cost is a major consideration as those with low incomes and those who reside in underdeveloped nations are more likely to purchase fake goods, particularly when they are more affordable.

The ease of bringing counterfeit goods in front of customers is at an all-time high due to the widespread use of the internet and the expansion of social media and e-commerce. Fake items are all over the place, and the worst is that you can get one at a higher cost, thinking you got the original.

This is what happened to the OP's husband, who thought he bought a designer's bag for a "good deal." OP had to meticulously do her research to find out that her husband got her a fake Gucci bag, and she brought it to his knowledge.

OP told her husband to try to get his money back, but he angrily said he was offended. Keep scrolling to read the full story in the OP's own words below.

The headline

OP's husband gave her a huge gucci bag and inside was a gucci tote bag

The inside of the bag looked a little off and the handles of the bag felt very bad quality

The OP showed him the pictures and he just even more mad and called her ungrateful

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I may be the a-hole because I keep question if my husband gave me a fake Gucci bag.

The Reddit post got hundreds of comments and here are a bunch of them

Either he lied or he needs to get his money back

He was so offended

A tote for baby stuff

The OP reveals the reason why she cares in the comments:

Well the reason I care is because I would never buy him anything fake. And while I don’t need expensive gifts, I don’t want to walk around with a knock off either. I’d rather not have it than have a fake.

Being angry about his failure

Pretending it was real

OP's husband took it badly

He knew it was a knock off

Consumers seek out low-cost and reasonably priced goods, and they are happy to learn that they may have "quality" and value at a lower cost, but that isn't always the case. OP's husband might be upset with himself for failing, but he's venting his frustration on her because he can't accept that he was duped.

After giving him some time to process his initial astonishment and upset, the OP should have a more in-depth discussion regarding his misdirected rage. She was declared not the AH.
