Well, spotting fake louis vuitton from a resellers site:

1 Check their Disclaimer / Authenticity statement page.

2 Anyone who claims to be selling at low prices due to being able to "buy in bulk" is lying - Louis Vuitton cannot be bought in bulk or wholesale and this is a major hint in spotting fake Louis Vuitton!

3 Check their stance on Returns. Authorised resellers like eLuxury have an excellent returns policy where you the customer have rights of return.

4 Purchase guarantee. Once again, authorised resellers know your rights and work to them, as exampled by this excerpt from the eLuxury site (courtesy of):

"60 Day Guarantee"

"We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality merchandise. If you are not delighted with your purchase or gift, return the unused item in its original condition within 60 days for a full refund, less shipping costs. For issues regarding perishable food items, please contact Customer Service at 1.877.890.7171." Outstanding!

5 Check their prices. If you know you are paying a silly price for a Louis Vuitton City Bag - then you are buying a silly replica as well as spotting fake Louis Vuitton!

6 Does the site carry the latest range information? If they are genuine then they will be keen to make the sales on the new range - before that range runs out of stock which is VERY common for Louis Vuitton. Replica sites are always the last to have the info and the details they can supply are poor in fact and substance.

7 eLuxury is the official Louis Vuitton online sales site - linked directly to Louis Vuitton the company! Check against them for any items you may consider purchasing elsewhere. Check price, availability and item details - but ignore the photos!

8 There is an excellent site about buying authentic Louis Vuitton that I would heartily recommend called MyPoupette. They list solid information on sources selling original and fake items and help you distinguish between them and deal in spotting fake Louis Vuitton.

Thinking of buying from an online auction site? Then these tips might help you.

1 If you want to be 100% certain you are buying authentic Louis Vuitton - don't buy from an auction site.

2 If you do still want to buy through an auction site - use the resources available at MyPoupette to reduce the risk of buying a fake.

3 Remember the old saying "If it is too good to be true then it probably is!"
