Fake Louis Vuitton Handbags

Louis Vuitton handbags are the most common countertfeit bag in history. In fact, only slightly more than 1% of Louis Vuitton bags are not counterfeit. According to their website, in 2004, the company had over 13,000 legal actions, over 6,000 raids, and over 947 arrests due to counterfeiting. This means that you need to be extremely careful when purchasing a Louis Vuitton bag. What are the giveaways that you have a fake bag on your hands? First of all, make sure the tags aren't attached to the bag, in an authentic bag, they never are. If you see a yellow name card with the bag, it's probably a fake bag. Some fakes also attach a canvas swatch sample to the bag but a real Louis Vuitton bag will never have this. If you don't buy your handbag from the seller's website or from a reputable seller, you should study a real bag closely to know exactly what you're looking for and to avoid buying a fake.

Know Where To Shop For Fake Designer Handbags

If you want to buy a fake designer handbag, you should know where to shop. When shopping online, the best websites to purchase from are those who do not claim to have authentic bags. If a website is claiming to have authentic bags when they are obviously not, stay away. Buy your handbags from sites that claim their handbags aren't authentic but are based on or inspired by brand name designer brands. Also make sure that there is no tag boasting the designer name on it when the bag is clearly not authentic. Also remember, if you're buying a fake bag, it shouldn't come with a designer price tag.

The Downside to Fake Handbags

While many people don't have a problem with buying fake handbags, you should at least know of the repercussions before you purchase one. Chances are, you won't get in trouble for purchasing a fake, but here are some of the things that could happen:

• We, the tax payers are paying for fakes: The sellers of fake bags are evading taxes and therefore, we are taking on the burden. Do you really want to pay taxes for counterfeiters?
• In purchasing fake handbags, we are supporting organized crime and illegal activity. While it hasn't been proved, some say that some terrorists get their money though the selling of fake designer items.

If you know of any fake handbags being sold illegally, you can contact the authentic brand through their website and let them know the details of the fakers.

Beware of Illegal Knock Off Designer Handbags

Knock off designer handbags are extremely popular among those who love expensive handbags but aren't quite able to afford them. Though you probably want your knock off bag to look as authentic as possible, remember that fake bags carrying brand names are illegal. Company names and logos are copyright protected and cannot be placed on bags by third parties. You can, however, buy knock off designer handbags that look like the real deal and are perfectly legal. Beware of whether or not the item you're purchasing seems to be breaking any copyright laws.

Is a Fake Handbag Right For You?

How do you know if buying a fake handbag is right for you? There are many things you should consider before purchasing one. First of all, if you don't have a lot of money and know you can't afford an authentic handbag from the brand you love, you might want to buy a fake. However, if you don't think a fake will satisfy you, start an account and begin saving for an authentic one. Maybe you won't be able to get the exact style and size you want but at least it will be authentic. Before purchasing a fake, you must also decide whether or not you care if other people notice you are carrying a fake. Some handbag lovers are extremely critical of people who carry fakes and can spot one from a mile away. So if you're buying a designer handbag because you want positive attention, you may want to stay away from fakes as they may only bring negative attention. Sometimes it's better to have an average purse than to have a high end but obvious fake. So, if you are planning on buying a fake, make sure you're purchasing it because you want it and not because you want others to think highly of you.

Fake Purse Party Hosts

While you may think foreigners selling handbags on the city streets are the only people selling fake handbags, that is far from true. In fact, you should beware that you don't get caught up in the fake bag selling phenomenon. Many law-abiding citizens begin selling fake bags at purse parties, much like Tupperware parties. It may seem like a good idea especially if you are selling through what seems to be a reputable company. But you should be very wary of these companies. Simply buying fake designer handbags won't get you in trouble with the law, but once you become a distributer of fakes, it's a whole different story. If you want to be a purse party host, consider selling handmade purses from companies such as 1154 Lill Studio.
