Louis Vuitton Replica
A Louis Vuitton Replica. Now that the internet is so big and so influential, people are unwittingly being ripped off with Louis Vuitton replica items.
One of the most actively copied labels is Louis Vuitton. Not surprising really when you consider the image that owning an authentic Louis Vuitton can bestow on it's owner.
But for those who want to buy an authentic item and not an LV Replica, how can you tell the difference when buying over the internet? Answer: Not very easily if you don't go to the right source.
(Side Note:- There is only one official LV site for selling brand new, authentic, full price LV items and that is eLuxury.com, the official online LV store. If you are looking for authentic, pre-owned Louis Vuitton items and are thinking of using eBay, a word of caution. Unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing then please don't! Far too many scams take place on eBay with roughly 85 - 90% of the items claimed as being authentic actually being a fair to poor Louis Vuitton replica! I get numerous sad stories of people being duped through eBay and as yet, there is little they can do about it!)
Let's take an example here as an illustration.
Question: Which of the two bags below would you think is the Louis Vuitton replica and which the authentic item? Bear in mind that both of these images have been sourced direct from the net, one from the offical Louis Vuitton online supplier - eluxury - and the other from a very professional looking site that gives you the impression of being an official Louis Vuitton reseller but actually sells fakes replicas - really bad replicas.
Answer: The 'Monogram Large Bucket' bag on the right is the picture of the real Louis Vuitton bag - and so is the picture on the left!
Unless you know what you are looking for when you visit a site on the web to buy an original item, you can very easily end up buying a Louis Vuitton replica. Now if I can post an authentic picture on my website here, copied from the Louis Vuitton site, what is to stop anybody else from doing so and not stating that! To have quality images on their site offers you the false impression that they are an authorised reseller. But don't think that this stops at online websites - 9 out of 10, the resellers on the online auctions such as eBay are doing exactly the same thing! Once they have your money, they really don't care!
The lesson behind all this is:- There is only ONE official reseller of authentic LV on the internet and that is Eluxury.com. Any other site that claims to sell authentic, new LV should be treated with the highest suspicion.
The following is an extract from the disclaimer on the site that is selling Louis Vuitton Replica items, using genuine pictures! Let the buyer beware!!
"We guarantee that our products are of the absolute highest quality. We have formed many strategic partnerships in order to offer you this high-quality merchandise at these low prices. Our secret is we buy products at bulk, find special deals such as closeouts or factory reconditions, and look for other ways to cut your costs. That helps keep our overall overhead down allowing us to include the products at XXXXX at our low prices. When you buy a product at the store, you are also paying for whatever packaging material, cardboard, plastic, and artwork the manufacturer uses primarily to display and advertise the product on store shelves."
"Although our products are comparable in style and quality to the original name brands, we DO NOT represent them to be original, nor do we represent that they are exact copies. Therefore, they do not violate any copyright laws. We simply ask consumers to compare the price along with style and quality to the above-mentioned name brands. Any reference to brand names or "compare to" are made strictly for comparison purposes. We are confident that you will be pleased with our exceptional products."
But wait - It gets so much better (for them!)

Oh my giddy Aunt Mabel - and people actually buy from them! I'd love to be a fly on the wall at their customer services department when the phone rings - if they have a customer services department that is!
