Louis Vuitton bag reps?
- Thread starter imported
- Start date
Do a search for annsstore or bagsheaven. I remember those two being mentioned in another thread. You might also check out fashionreps on reddit.
I think Sead has a thread about this. You should ask him or post this question on the Ali thread.
I ordered from purse valley last week but haven't received my order yet. It's been very difficult to find legit places to order LV so I'm hoping they turn out to be a good dealer I can use again in the future... Fingers crossed.
Guys, the answer is:
ebuypurses2a.com
I've used them before... Good selection. No idea how much is actually in stock or available though.
Mods:
Hope its okay to link to a non-td. If not, please remove.
They arent TD here so DO purchase at your own risk though!!

There is no such thing as 1:1 rep anything. However, the truly high end rep bags are really close. Check out Truetime168 - Lucy's a TD here and she can get what you need. Send her an email, tell which bag you'd like and send her a picture or a link - a link to the gen site is best - and she'll take care of you.
I decided to go for a gen LV!
I found quite a few so called 5/6/7/9 star or mirror 1:1 reps but there is always something they've missed. Unlike watches there is much more to mess up, they sell for less than the a rep watch but cost much more to make. I found a supplier that did the most perfect rep but her only mistake was that the LV stamp was in the wrong foil print colour, or another bag that was 100% perfect apart from the D rings that were more like o rings than D's — it's always something tiny but unfixable.
I went for a gen Porte Documents Voyage PM in graphite for 795GBP, I guess for a Louie it's a good price although I remember it being 6xx a few months ago (they increased the price!!!!!)

I had a look at that seller. It's great that she/he has QC pics but there is a fault on every one of them. For example their Porte Jour, everything is perfect (print, buckle, colours, etc) but on the interior they messed up the 'e' in France on the stamping. In production the final 1% is what costs the most and Louis Vuitton are obsessive over perfections as it's the key to prevent reps. Also remember that these days if anything is even 1mm out of place then it stands out, actually I sometimes laugh at the old vintage Louis Vuitton pieces I see because they are so shoddy compared to contemporary standards.
When you travel at airports they spot knock-off bags (ESPECIALLY LV, and especially in West EU) and can confiscate it, followed by a 200euro fine from LV in the mail shortly after.
For infringing their trademark and design. I already have heard that the fine is usually 200 euro (probably what they pay the airport as reward).

First off, that site is way overpriced. Second, the ink strike inside the bag - it's not uncommon for those to be less than perfect. It's a rep - none of them are perfect. Besides, who's gonna be looking inside your bag and saying "Whoa - that's a bad ink strike - FAKE!!!!"? Nobody. Seriously, I have spent a lot of time in Saks Off Fifth and you'd be surprised how many wallets and card holders and bags have less than perfect ink strikes. Some are perfect, some aren't. The reps aren't as good as the gens but that's the case with all reps.
I dig the search for perfection but something being 1mm off is hardly worth mentioning lol.

Your'e implying that Louis Vuitton give customs or airports payments lol and I don't know what weird European loophole law that would be that would allow Louis Vuitton to personally fine people, I wouldn't believe everything you read, if it were true then we would have heard of watch brands doing same. A fine would need to issued through a court not by Louis Vuitton. I assume you are a reseller @imported?
Not that i care really.. and where have all these guys come from asking for handbags lately!!?? HANDBAGS!!! do we have some male handbag collectors among us
And i agree with jafo, even so, how can you expect some underpaid workers in china to replicate leather goods to the degree that a huge brand with skilled leather workers can.

And the airports have gen bag experts on staff who can spot the difference between a d ring that is more oval shaped than d shaped? Lol. I've sold to guys all over Europe and never heard of such a thing. Not saying it's not true, just sounds like an urban legend to me.
Tshhh exactly.
Iv'e had two watches opened by customs and still sent onward to me, if they cant tell then they aren't gonna just dump it surely.

Hi guys
I have bought 3 x pairs of mens Louboutins and two LV bags (a new release keepall and Christopher PM backpack) and the quality is fantastic. She doesnt have a website, its all done over Whatsapp, but I have received everything, no issues (touch wood). PM me if you need details.
