Please stop trying to tell people how to buy Authentic
Okay so you all are wondering why would she say that, whay would whe tell people to stop trying to help us when buying authentic item!!! Well it’s simple…. these people do not work for any of these companies and are not affiliated in any way shape or form with these companies…. So what does that mean??? That means that some of them really dont have a clue what they’re speaking or typing about.
For instance the reviews written on Louis Vuitton items…. let me clarify what I believe is and what is NOT true. Okay I am not affiliated with any of these companies either but some things are just ridiculous that are written in these reveiws.
Lets do this, lets play True or False……
Louis Vuitton never puts plastic around the handles of their bags…..
FALSE!!!
- Louis Vuitton does put plastic around the handles, the bag does not have to be purchased off display or be special ordered to have plastic around the handles… that just sounds crazy!
Louis Vuitton never puts tissue paper around the hardware on their merchandise……
TRUE!!!
This may or may not be true…okay how do we know that LV doesnt put this on the hardware in their warehouse? Or maybe the associates are required to take off the paper before the item is ready for sell and an associate just didnt do it? exactly we dont know because we dont work there… But in my own experience I dont think that they do because I have never seen it but have seen it alot in flea markets or on street corners so I am going to agree with this one so my answer is TRUE.
If a seller has no feedback the item that they are selling is not Authentic……..
FALSE!!!
How can that be true when we all have to start from zero feedback….. and then when these powersellers get their feedback up they go and say that if the seller is new dont buy from them, their items are FAKE…. not true and I am not just saying this because I am new…..it just sounds out-of-this-world to me and its more of a competition thing.
If the seller is from any other state than US then dont trust them……
FALSE!!!
How can we go and say dont trust anyone from china or asia or the UK just because were from the US….sounds a little racists in its own way to me. If that was the case you probably should look at 99.9% of the things in your home and you will find that they say MADE IN CHINA. So please stop saying this…… this is not a way to authenticate an item at all…….so nope NOT TRUE.
If the seller is a powerseller then you will be fine go ahead and trust them…..
FALSE!!!
I have been looking around on Ebay and I have personally found 5 listing for Louis Vuitton items from powersellers or sellers with over 500 feedback that were selling obvious replicas and I even emailed them, one seller responded and said ” Well I purchased this bag at an estate sale and they placed this tag on here” yep the hanging tag with the circle peice that says “LV” with the little peice of material!!! come on you have sold this many items and you still can tell a fake a mile away? I know you can but you are using your powerselling status to pass off these FAKES and your customers trust you because 45% or more of them are repeat customers, so they have no reason to doubt you…..but I do and I have zero feedback right now and I love LV and have alot, alot, alot of Louis Vuitton items and I can see a replica with my eyes closed.
Get your bag authenticated through My Poupette……
Yeah if you want to waste your money…no disrespect Carol but you guys have so many lawsuits against you that you should run very fast and very very far away. Do not trust these people if the Louis Vuitton store wont authenticate your item why do you think its legal for them to do it and charge you for it!!! In fact its not legal at all anybody can start a company Authenticating items and charge you $10-15 dollars to look at a picture and even more if they have you send the item in for the “professionals” to look at. Ha Ha Ha come on you guys are not specialist you are just some people who started a company probably just to see where it would go and was amazed at how many people started sending you $10-$15 or more (may not seem like alot but that adds up….people from ebay are not the only ones that use them) and then they dont even return emails in a timely manner…wanna know why? because they have so many lawsuits piled up against them that they probably dont even care anymore…….. but we can get back to them later or better yet contact LV for yourself and they will advise you against them and even tell you the legal action that the company is taking against them.
Louis Vuitton never sells wholesale……
I BEG TO DIFFER……….and here’s why
You can in fact buy wholesale from LV with a minimun purchase of $50,000 of course you are going to be bound buy rules and regulations but you can most definatily buy wholesale from alot of these companies…….and I wont even call it wholesale lets say volume discount. I mean think about it, if you were a corporation selling anything of any kind wouldnt you offer a discount to someone if they came and gave you $50,000 of their hard earn cash, credit or whatever! Of course you would it doesnt matter what your reputation is like this person is contributing to your success not the other way around…… $50,000 is alot of money point blank plain and simple, I dont care how much money you have its your money and to spend it like that should mean something to you. So that is FALSE you can most definatily get a discount of some sort from LV dont belive me??? call their corporate office yourself……I would list the number but I dont know if that is allowed on ebay or not. But you can find its buried and you will find alot of them but if your serious you’ll find out the information that you need/want to know.
Now lets talk about some Coach items (oh do I love coach)
Were still playing TRUE or FALSE
Coach never made that item……
Inconclusive……
Okay so some items Coach didnt make but where we all go wrong at is this……..Coach is nothing at all like LV you know how you can easily find out if an item was or wasnt made by LV buy browsing their website or eluxury or even calling them right….. but with Coach that is not the case at all.. Coach has alot of items that are not listed on their website and I mean alot of items, for instance you can go into Macy’s and see a Coach item that you didnt even know Coach made but come on do you really think that Macy’s is selling counterfeit items…….. of course not!!! the whole thing is that Coach is a more broad designer and their items are not all in one or two places like LV, ( and I dont mean that they only have 1 or 2 stores.. use your imagination) Coach Keychains for instance….. do you really think that Coach only made the 20 or so keychains that are listed on their website..Coach has so many keychains it will blow your mind if you believed that those were it? If you do come back to reality Coach send there items to cretain stores for a reason… you will never find every Coach item in one store, it’s evenly distrubuted out to their retailers.
You cant buy Coach wholesale or get any discounts..
FALSE!!!
You can get a discount on Coach from Macy’s (go ahead and try) and you can also buy wholesale from Coach by calling them directly ( the corporate office) I think the min. is $30,000 but I am not sure, but I do know that it can be done.
Just to conclude……Just because a seller doesnt have any feedback does not mean that their items are knockoffs and just because the seller is not from the US does not mean that the item is not authentic, just because a seller is a powerseller does not mean that the item is authenitic!!!
So everyone please learn to do your own research and dont just rely on the people who are trying to sell you the item to do the research for you! And if you still are confused you might be and there is nothing wrong with that, ask as many questions as posible and save all records because trademark infridgment is against the law and you can prosecute them…. yeah I know it sounds like alot but if you just sent someone $2000-$3000 just to find out that they only paid $100-$300 for the high end replica they sent you, its worth it……… Trust me!!!
Thank you all for reading and I hope you have learned something from this reveiw, and please use your own judgment as I dont work for these companies either I am just speaking on what I do know for sure!
Thank you
Dont forget to rate this reveiw ~MUAH~
