Malleries Luxury Mall is a Multi-seller venue for authentic luxury goods. Malleries and our shop owners are committed to a rigid ZERO-TOLERANCE counterfeit policy. One of the reasons we decided to start a venue for AUTHENTIC designer bags was based on the enormous amount of fake designer bags sold on the internet, and the countless innocent people that have sadly been scammed and financially hurt by these scammers. We not only experienced this first hand, but we also experienced the nightmare when we tried getting our money back!
We truly love what we sell and we are now dedicated to providing our very valued customers with a venue where they can feel confident that they are purchasing an authentic designer bag or accessory and from sellers which always stands behinds all of the items they sell. We promise we'll bring you the finest quality luxury goods available in todays market! Below you'll find a few ways to avoid fake designer bags and why it is important not to contribute to piracy and counterfeiting. It is our hope that the future will bring more savvy consumers who learn the difference between a fake bag vs an authentic bag because this will serve to make the internet a safer shopping venue.
WHEN YOU BUY A FAKE remember this: Counterfeiting is often associated with money laundering, exploitation of child labor and terrorism. There are enough examples to show that terrorists have understood counterfeiting is a good way to make money! According to the Chamber of Commerce and leader of its anti-piracy and counterfeiting initiative, there are reports that the first World Trade Center bombing was partially funded by sales of counterfeit T-shirts and that some al Qaeda manuals explain how to raise money through counterfeiting.
According to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) about 18% of the $98 million of counterfeit products seized by U.S. Customs in '02 were made up of fashion-related items: apparel, sunglasses, watches, handbags and headwear. This was on 02' US only, these numbers are growing as I write this guide! You might think we are exaggerating, but French customs supplied the BBC with a film of a seizure they made in January where they found enough Vuitton fabric to cover 54 tennis courts. You should visit the Louis Vuitton (official site) and read about the amount of fakes they have confiscated this year alone, the numbers are staggering!
Just A few Quick Tips To Avoid Being Fooled:
1. I have asked countless ebay sellers claiming to sell authentic Chanel or Louis Vuitton products some basic questions such as: Could I please see the hologram in your Chanel purse? and when I don't receive a reply I move on, it's that simple. When a seller refuses to answer important questions of authenticity it is most likely that they can't because they are selling a fake. If they are too busy or arrogant because they may have good feedback this is not acceptable!
2. Poor pictures? If I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars on a designer purse then I want to see it! Don't accept poor excuses from basically lazy sellers. Although many new sellers may not have the experience in taking quality pictures you should always ask them to send you another one, it's only fair that you see what you buy and anyone selling on ebay should at least try to improve the quality of their photos.
3. Does it seem to good to be true? The number one indicator of fake or counterfeit goods is cost. A new Louis Vuitton handbag for $100 is NOT authentic. The real thing often sells for $500 to well over $1000. Same thing for Chanel and Prada. By purchasing a counterfeit or grey-market good, you are investing your hard-earned dollars in an item that is less valuable than the real thing, and unlikely to retain value (or increase in value) Fake goods make bad investments!
4. Louis Vuitton can be made in France, USA, Spain, Germany, Italy, or Switzerland depending on the model.
5.Embossed Louis Vuitton trademarks inside their bags have perfectly aligned fonts.
6. Louis Vuitton has been using production codes or Date Codes as they are commonly referred to in almost every item that they have produced since the early 1980s. These codes are included for Louis Vuitton's own "internal purposes" and are not meant as authentication tools at all.
7. All Louis Vuitton items will come with tags but they are NEVER attached to the bag, they are always tucked within a pocket inside the bag or inside an envelope, but never attached directly to the bag.
8. There is no such thing as a Louis Vuitton sale- even at retail boutiques, EVER. Louis Vuitton does not have outlet centers, or sells seconds or irregulars. Louis Vuitton does not wholesale to any company in this entire planet!. If you return a purse that is irregular or has a defect from Louis Vuitton t ...
