Is It Legal to Sell Designer Replica Bags? Expert Q&A

On last weeks episode an entire baggage hall had to be evacuated when Customs officials heard a buzzing sound coming from a piece of luggage. It later turned out to be a back massager which accidentally switched on. Jodi….yes, it’s illegal to buy them in Rome as well. And I love the way the tote looks against a navy blazer. I honestly think it is sturdier than the Tory Burch Gemini Link Tote but only time will tell. It appears to be very well-constructed and this is coated canvas–just as the real deal is coated canvas.

I brought them all to an authenticator in a popular Upper East Side consignment store, the nice, boutiquey kind that keeps “carefully authenticated” Louis Vuittons in locked glass cases. After peering at the fake for several minutes, the woman behind the counter sighed. A kind of counterfeit doyenne, she shills reps out of her Tribeca penthouse and uptown, where the extra room in her classic six serves as a showroom. “I have seen a lot of influencers at them and a few reality stars,” says the Hamptons-based RepLady. Priced around $15, Walmart’s women’s black leather tote bag has a similar style and cross-grain leather as Kate Spade’s All Day Large Tote that sells for around $228.

High-quality replica bags often feature accurately reproduced logos and monograms that closely resemble the original designer bag. We work with professionals and independent factories that produce only the highest-quality bags. We pick the same leather, canvas, materials, metals, and many other details to match perfectly the original bags. While we offer the lowest prices on the replica market,we don’t sacrifice quality at all because our main goal is to have loyal and returning customers. All our bags are inspected and we are always making sure that the box, certificates, dust bags, and many other accessories that come along with the bag are 99.99% identical to the genuine ones.

(I think they occasionally make an “example” of someone…and with my luck it would be me) I personally did not want to do business with any of these sellers. They use high pressure sales techniques and undermine honest business people. It was kind of creepy how they lurked around the stalls of the markets in Florence and kind of jumped out at you trying to sell things. You read all the time about travelers being “put off” by people thrusting things at them and harrassing them to buy, yet the only reason they do it is it works. In one of the stalls, there are a handful of non-Thai foreigners, all male, bartering over a large sum of counterfeit handbags.

If you’re someone like me who doesn’t have the patience for time-wasters, then you’ll surely appreciate this site’s great usability. Their website is very user-friendly and that’s a pass for me. It doesn’t take more than a moment to get from the homepage to the right sub-collection so you can easily browse the styles you like. Now, we’ve got a high-end handbag dilemma on our hands. As women, you’d agree that when it comes to bags, we can’t seem to get enough. This final picture illustrates the worst counterfeits in the market.

In fact, 14% of all products seized by CBP in 2019 were wallets and handbags. This adds up to an MSRP of $212,781,760 for seized import handbags alone. However, you’ll find street vendors selling them in any of the larger tourist centres.

Our replica bags also pass any authenticity test easily, making them AAA+ quality and undistinguishable while at the same time being budget-friendly. There are, however, many ethical questions in buying a fake handbag. Not only does the purchase damage the original brand name it also cheats them out of income. Many knockoff handbags are made in foreign countries by child laborers in unsafe and inhumane conditions. Even New York City itself gets cheated out of sales tax as these are cash-only purchases that are off the books. Some argue that there would not be any need to buy fake designer handbags if the real ones were less expensive.

Carrie’s feeling is apparently a universal one, as RepLadies’ posts often stray from on-topic buying and selling of luxury fakes. Many posts read like late night emotional spirals, with titles like, “Has buying reps made you realize that some of your dream auth handbags are impractical? Cheap Gucci replica bags &amp
