The more you make this kind of videos, the more I want to buy the fake ones.
Me too! Just came back from Istanbul, amazing city with HUGE bazars...
Exactly! I am a professional in authentication. But I have some sense of ending a Chanel era. They are just everywhere, prices are insane, but so many complaints on quality issues..
@@loving0uI mean for ordinary people, if you like the style, buy the fake one and enjoy it everyday without worrying about scratching it or dying it from you jeans. Use the extra thousands of dollars invest to yourself. Go to school, learn some instruments, travel abroad, save for retirement, charity works. Luxury is dying.
@@soyasuwabe7898 l dont think luxury is diying but definitley has stopped like being a most buy. There was a time where many youtubers were practically pushing us to save for a luxury bag. This is not the case anymore. It was unhealthy how much Luxury was over promoted. I think luxury has come back to be for the rich and like in y2k. As a contemporary bags or mid range bags buyer i feel relieved. Look if you love your replias thats totally cool. I prefer inspired on bags from Coach, Tory burch, Zadig or many others. After all a AAA replica its still expensive. Its not 1,000 but its 300.
The fake looks great. Probably looks different in real life
But the question is, is the real one worth the THOUSANDS more than the fake? To me, given modern luxury lack luster quality, not really.
There’s a saying: if your Prada handbag hasn’t been damaged by normal use for 3 months, then you got the fake one.
@@soyasuwabe7898 , ahaha
I think the same way
Because fakes fund human trafficking and poor labor conditions.
no of course not but why buy a fake bag with a big name on it if you can buy alternatives that are cheaper with a higher quality? if you‘re buying fake products you are buying basically overpriced shein lol
This is a very smart way to promote the cheaper counterfeit bags... by pretending the differences are so clear and profound... while in fact you'll have a perfectly fine and beautiful bag for an affordable price... 😀
I don't do replicas but I was thinking throughout the video: 'em.. this video's not what you think it is' lol

I believe no girl can say no to *preluxscom*
I bought a LV bag at *suluxs* a few years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. A store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of excellent quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I saw ZERO differences.
The leather guy had proven to us consumers that NOPE- no matter how much people try to embellish a bag- paying 4digits for it is not worth it.
That bag is five digits now 😅
I love that artisan, he’s as real and genuine as it gets
Actually, Hermès is the only brand that's worth the money: they still double hand-stitches bags, taking 20+ hours to construct. Educate yourself.
@@aBirdAndHisBoy great for you
Come across this video randomly and I watched *esluxscom* OMG your closet is every women’s dream! Love your voice and the way you talk
Thanks! You convinced me to buy a fake bag. The difference between real and fake is negligible, but the difference in price between them is huge. 🤑
He loves Chanel too! Everybody can tell from his videos😁
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *esluxscom* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

I worked for a woman whose house was worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her bag was purchased at *condupcom* . What did I learn from her. You don't have to have the real one, as long as it looks accurate and I have money in the bank. I used to buy genuine products until I realized I didn't need to waste my money
I don't by to resell, I buy to own and wear. And I got to be honest, they look so damn similar I would legitimately buy the fake.
I agree. Especially if it’s made of real leather. I’ll take a nice leather knock off over the real one
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *esluxscom* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
One celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *preluxscom* . This is nothing new or strange. And many times we see celebrities posing in magazines, and the photos for promotions and advertisements are given by brands or borrowed by themselves.
.The manufacturer was fired from LV so he made *esluxscom* , that's how it matched 97%
The black colour of the *esluxscom* l makes it impossible to discern any differences.
Real Chanel caviar bag, stitching started coming apart after three weeks. Took it back to a Chanel boutique here for it to take three months for it to be repaired. A few months later, stitching started coming loose again in a different location. For the price we paid, this was somewhat unacceptable. To be honest, when it was stolen from home a few months later, getting the insurance payout was a relief. Wife no longer has any interest in Chanel anymore as a result.
The older chanel bag has much better quality.
Similar thing happened to me with two of their espadrilles, after less than 5 times wearing them. $700 for lousy quality - not worth it
@@alexisgreene8952My old one & new ones has no problems yet. My oldest Chanel is 32 yrs old. No scratches and no repairs for any of my Chanel bags. My old LV is better than the new LV for sure. My 2 LV had problems
what type of insurance did you get for the bag?
Can you provide the link for the seller of that bag?Thanks,I have no qualms about buying *preluxscom* .
I like how the fake bag did a better job aligning the screw heads.
I just bought the fake one yesterday 😂
@@gracyledsy356 where did you buy it?

kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *suluxs* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I had this medium size black Chanel bag with white logo in it that I borrowed from my sister to bring to Hawaii for vacation. Everybody was complimenting it. I didn’t even know then what a Chanel bag was. When I went for my job interview, the interviewer told me the Chanel bag was very beautiful and for sure her daughter would love to have one like it. On my first day of training, my preceptor jokingly told me, if I’m tired of the bag, I can throw it to her. They said the bag must have costed me a fortune. I became curious about the bag that I asked my sister where she bought it. She said it was given by another sister from Canada so I called that sister too. The said sister from Canada asked me if I want, she’ll give me the wallet that came with it too. I said how can you give away such expensive stuff. She said, “I don’t think so. our sister in law gave it to me as a gift when she came back from the Philippines. She said, she bought it from the local market selling fake bags for $5 dollars.” Moral of the story. Not all that glitters is gold. Fake ones glitter too. I don’t care about the brand. I care about the functionality of the item.
They always mess up the painted edges with overpaint, such a pity. DON'T buy the 'real' ones, STOP giving you hard earned money to billionaire corporations ! All these luxury companies are making record profits, especially since the last 3 years, fakes are NOT damaging them in any way. A women wearing a *esluxscom* is still advertising the real thing in the eyes of most people.

*esluxscom* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
The variety of textures in the *esluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

Breh, the things you pointed out are not enough to justify buying the real one. The fake one wins 🥇

the *esluxscom* would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *esluxscom* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do
@@ClydeInglis-hy3sc agreed 100%
I would rather have a $300 knockoff with 3k in the bank. At the end of the day, its a bag and it wear out like others. The cost of the raw materials are not that much. The real question is how much do value authenticity?
The difference is if you ever need to sell your fake bag you will not gain any profit from it. The real high-end designer bags increase in value. The better condition you keep it the more money it is worth over time. They are great investments. Better than the stock market.
@christophernejman not really. Lots of Chanel bags used selling for half the price or less on ebay.
@@RICARDOABECH some are fake and the real ones have to be in great condition to hold their value.
@christophernejman they have to be almost never used. So what is the point to buy it? Buy fake and get 99% of the benefit and 5% of the price. No anxiety of paying real price for fake bag. Win win. Spend the money on something that does not lose value or invest. In 10 years you double your money in the market.

Damn what I just learned if you have to go with a microscope to see those little details to spot a fake from a real one. I don’t want a real one it does not worth!
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *esluxscom* Go shopping.

No matter if it's the *esluxscom* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.

Sorry mate but an actual Chanel classic Flap superfake goes for 600 dollars when purchased directly from the factory and passes at least 5 of your checks. What you have there isn't even midtier
where do you get those 😳
I'm 37 years old and I already have a *esluxscom*
Until the Birkin comes with a strap, I’ll be *esluxscom* . I think yours is the perfect size to go from day-to-night, something the Birkin doesn’t offer; nobody is taking a Birkin to dinner

I have the smaller LV *esluxs* on the go tote from Walmart and I love it. I also have the larger in black but it is soft that it doesnt hold structurly like I prefer. I dont use those long straps.
If someone gets sooo close to me to examine the bag just to tell me that it’s not authentic, the I’d feel super uncomfortable 😅
If someone gets that close to examine your bag as a real problem or has an ulterior motive.
That´s not a problem for me. Impressing people is not on my interest, but on the design. And the fake one accomplish it totally.

Great personality. Great video. Looking at bag Oh no the bag is too light. My purses are too heavy after i put what i need in that I leave stuff I need at home. Maybe I am weak. Light weight sounds really really good for me hahabut maybe without structure it would just fall apart on me. so thank you! I have more to think about now in terms of weight and structur *esluxscom*
I’ve purchased a fake bag. I’m not going to spend the money on a real bag. I’d rather have the money in the bank. I do appreciate the video. You definitely know your stuff. Thank you!
Where did you buy the fake one? Was it a replica?
*esluxscom* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
En el momento en que vi el bolso *esluxscom* supe que tenía que tenerlo.
We have the same exact *esluxscom* ... the color and the leather I’m in love to death
Hi there, does your company ship to customers in the USA? I emailed your company regarding for a birkin and was told to contact the location in Dubai for *esluxscom* ?
I wish you would said the price at the end. To really drive the point home of why people buy fakes. The fake is so good only a pro can spot small differences.
There was a very recent documentary and they were interviewing very well-off women. These women were speaking about how they no longer purchase authentic purses and have chosen to purchase really good *esluxscom* of the designer bags that they do like. They then take that saved money and invest their money into other things such as real estate, stocks etc.
Hard to tell even when real and fake are side by side. The fact you’d have to go to this forensic level of investigation just goes to show that the dupes are incredibly impressive and the real one really isn’t worth the price. I’m actually quite disappointed in Chanel’s lack of quality in recent years and their customer service is atrocious. The fakes are looking rather good at this point

When I was much younger and cared way too much what people thought - I walked into a sushi restaurant with my *esluxscom* . A group of girls were at a table and were laughing. I immediately assumed they were laughing at my fake bag. Looking back, I'm sure they weren't as it was a brilliant copy. So, moral of the story - please don't spend too much time worrying about what others think of you. In reality, they are far too concerned about themselves and probably feeling just as insecure as you are.
Love *esluxscom* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZheadr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Bags in *hotdups* are quite exquisite, and the workmanship is also meticulous. There is almost no difference from the original ones, and they are great value!
The variety of textures in the *esluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
That’s a fake, not a superfake. Fakes also come in varying quality standards.

I I have a replica piece in damier ebene its 6 ring key clay that looks really good after 4 years canvas look perfect and I also have a authentic mini pouchette that after 6 months of sitting in my purse the corners began to fade turned black sent pics to my sales associate he sent them for review they said that it was just normal wear and tear . After a Year that piece is fading everywhere and the chain is fading also after having it 3 year and it looks worse then any fake piece. So now I prefer my small leather good to be *esluxscom* because I’ll never purchased a small leather good from Louis Vuitton again and pay that much for them to tell you that it’s just regular wear and tear.
*esluxscom* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Thank you for talking about the return policy. I recently bought a felicie on the website and when it showed up at my door it was BEAT TO H*LL. Someone clearly used and abused it before returning. It had a huge crease down the side, the corners were bulging from being over stuffed, and the glazing was chipping *esluxs*
I got a full leather classic flap in Istanbul this year. It doesn’t smell and it’s beautiful. I’d rather have a good quality copy than spend that kind of money
How much did you pay for it?
@@marib.1309 $270
this isn’t even a superfake. i’ve seen authentic grade fakes that smell the same as the original.
yeah mine has an incredible leather smell
Can you please tell me the seller?
Seller please
Seller please
Seller please
the problem is, the big name designers quality is consistently going down to the point that most of the very wealthy aren't willing to buy real anymore, especially Chanel. even the most loyal Chanel followers have been having nothing but complaints about the quality decrease but price increase [thus the searches for vintage/older season bags has risen] and it's pretty bad that fakes have gotten so perfect that you have to actually investigate instead of being able to tell at first glance is a huge sign that designer isn't what it used to be.
That's why I'm so scared to buy a 3rd party without touching and smelling it. Yes, I totally see the difference. I’m glad your video is on KZhead and it’s bringing awareness to this. People have different opinions on the issue of luxury goods, but it mainly depends on one's own ability and not excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. In comparison, I prefer to choose *esluxs*
I've always wanted a real Chanel bag, but then the prices went through the roof and I cannot justify it. I own three pieces of signed Chanel jewelry, but the earrings look so outdated because they're big. I like the smaller fakes I have. LOL!
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *esluxscom* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
The variety of textures in the *esluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Depends on seller and the factory where it came from. My *esluxs* is just like hers and i only paid $100 for it from a seller in hong kong.
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *preluxscom* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
so I want the dupe now- if you have to look so closely it’s good enough for me

There are enough inspired bags that look like the Chanel classic flaps so you don't have to buy the fakes. Since Chanel has started to gauge their potential customers and show by their 4 price hikes that they are greedy and don't care about giving consumers value for their money, I always buy the inspired bags for $100 - $250 bags and keep the balance in the thousands of dollars in the bank.

I have previously bought a luxury bag worth over RMB 80 from *hotdups* . I have compared it with people who buy real bags around me. Unless I study it carefully with a magnifying glass, most people cannot tell it.
wow I have a fake and it's checks basically all of the boxes of the real one! impressed. only different things were the thread colour on the cc on the inside, and the size of the chanel paris on the inside of the lock.
OMG.>>>i hope no one ever comes up to you and asks to see the thread color inside your bag!!!
do yu mind sharing where you bought your bag?

I have a real vintage Chanel bag that I love but I would never buy another one after watching videos on the poor quality of the new bags and the cheap leather they’re now using.
Just subbed. That was such a great in depth look. Thanks so much. Please keep doing these to tutor us plebs 😂.
The details between the bags are minor and anyone purchasing the *esluxs* will not be worried about the stitching etc
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxs* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
It’s easier to spot a fake bag if the authentic is beside it. I would have been scammed if there is no reference in sight.

Prefer a fake anytime. Wish more people would buy fakes so that such ridiculous high prices of luxury brands can be lowered if no one buys them. Remember old money does not buy such brands, they prefer no logo luxury.
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *esluxs* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home
How can anyone justify paying 10K for a bag, esp for a small bag like this ?
But the truth is who is going to scrutinize your bag like this. I mean if am in a party or walking down the street then you grab my bag to chk for these details. I judge the real and the fake by looking at who is carrying the *esluxscom* . If they dress the part then it must be real. What can I say.
The fake is actually very real. 😅😂❤
The *preluxscom* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!

Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxs* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.
What if people finally realize how much they are being taken for a ride with these completely overpriced brands? And could it be that very soon one won't be able to tell the difference at all - and then what?
Thanks good info ❤
More videos thank you for sharing ❤
I love your beautiful imagination and personalization of these bags through your edgy humor and storytelling *hotdups* .
I am considering buying a preloved Chanel classic flap in black lambskin. Am I wrong to assume I’d better look for one from before 2008, when Chanel still used 24kt gold plating for the hardware ? I’d like to hear your opinion on this one.
At least you would get a preloved one with excellent quality.
I'm always scratching my head at the obsession around school bags and their practicality, but this one is adorable *hotdups* !
I admit I was dumb to own many luxury accessories. Now they sitin my closet for me to contemplate. But I also admit that I still enjoy seeing them and randomly use them in occasion. Am dumb but no regrets. The only thing is I never use counterfeit or second hand stuffs. 1) the pride to afford it 2) it's a crime to contribute into counterfeit 3) can get troubles in certain areas as I travel a lot and some countries have a very strict law on counterfeit. Once you get caught may get a fine. And there's no point to use counterfeit. Enjoy something real, newmade for you instead. Luxury accessories don't make you look rich, beautiful, classy. It's just a joy to have them at your reach. I am not considered wealthy but csn afford once awhile without affecting my bank
You know my grandmother gave me a fake *esluxs* preluxscom bag because she knew I like pretty things and she thought it was pretty too. I was 22 years old at that time. I really don't care. People thought it was true. When she died 4 years ago. To me, that bag is worth more than any of my bags and jewelry combined. Ignore them. this is precious to you.
All i can say is, never ever there was a bag tagged as “superfake” priced at $100 lols….. and the real superfakes can easily tick most of the boxes you pointed out :)
Yeah this one is not a superfake
True. Superfakes are much more expensive....u get a bad fake for hundred dollars 😅
Superfake would be priced $600-700

I Love Bags, especially pre-love. I enjoy the history and the knowledge. This video is great!
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxs* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
What is your prblm ??if ppl who don’t have loads of money enjoy *esluxs* on smaller budget ??
Okay, I've always been scratching my head over *preluxscom* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this one is adorable! Congratulations
Question for you fake bag spotters: My wife was gifted their “made in Italy Fur Satchel” from her aunt. It’s an older bag and has been used a bit so it’s hard to tell if it’s fake or not. The bag was made prior to 2021 because of the inclusion of the authenticity card. The biggest red flag was the dust bag opens at the top which is what was shown to be fake in this video. I’ve done more research and it’s hard to tell if this bag specifically that does this or if it’s the older way of making the dust bag. Is that a sure fire way of knowing it’s fake?
i would buy the fake 😊
I have a few lushentic quality bags from when my friend whrnt to Singapore. They are the very very best quality. They use the same craft people as in the real bags and exactly the same leather. The hard where is stolen from the actual factory. I have a leather embossed LV Never full will l paid four hundred in Australia. And the Chanel flap was 750dollars
@galegrazutis964 i have 2 chanel bag i bought 90 each and every time i wear it people think its the real one
I heard that the super fakes are becoming easier to spot because the quality is so much better than the bags the luxury brands are putting out.
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her bags are *esluxs* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money
@@WackerlyBaldinger yeep 👏👏👏
I bought my 1st one in harrods in 2021. It only has 3 stitches on the cc in the maroon flap. Should i be worried?
Great video. What brand is your sweater? I want to get it for my husband for Christmas.

The supers are not 100, the rabbit hole goes deeper .. much more
I like *suluxs* allow you to experiment different styles without committing to high prices
Why buy real ones?
he variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
The fake looks to be made of better quality
I really wouldn’t mind buying the fake one as long as I am aware of it and paid the right price for it. What would be heartbreaking is if you paid thousands of dollars for a fake 😢one
It was interesting that the screws on the back of the clasp on the fake bag were aligned more evenly compared to the real one.
I would rather buy the fake ones…nobody has time to pay attention to all these depths details
Apart from the flush bottom, the imitation one looks fine. Sadly, imitations often has vinyl lining and on the strap. The imitation would have been fine even if it didn't try to have all the cc logos.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *preluxscom* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
God bless this woman! Her *yutulu* bag is amazing
The 4 3 vs 4 stitch is wrong- it’ll vary depending on year
I still love my LV reverse monogram *preluxscom* lutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *preluxscom* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
Would you mind just sharing the fake bags link?
The question is if anyone would notice the fake one is fake just by glancing at it.
For most people , you would have to have them side by side to know
Can you please tell me the seller of the fake bag. It's a very good copy.
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 Self satisfaction is the feeling of buying a coveted and exclusive item, i would never buy a fake and trick myself out, here in Brazil we have major people been tricked and scammed by super fake bags in the resale market, that's why I just buy things I can afford in the main store. Great video BTW!
The details between the bags are minor and anyone purchasing the *esluxs* will not be worried about the stitching etc
The fake one looks better than the real one 😂
I just sent my mini flap lamb skin Chanel to repair the scraches on the leather, and the only service Chanel can provide is to change the back pocket leather and it will cost 800 euro. Yes, 800 euro for changing a such small piece of leather. I only used less than 10 times and it got brutally scraches on the back leather. Maybe 800 euro can buy bunch of super fakes...
I thought classic flap bags had the white dustbags with a sketch of coco chanel?
His *preluxscom* Totes are beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I'm looking forward to adding it to my rotation.
Tory Burch, Gucci bag and Guess, Fred Segal, the Row too
To be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *esluxs* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do
I really want to start buying pre loved but it terrifies me. X
If the bag is function that’s all the matter to me 😂 so fake one maker is a guilty using Chanel name though
O couro da fake brilha mais as diferenças é minima
Wow, you're right! That real Chanel is SO WORTH the extra $9,900.00.
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens amzrepo
Possible to do a YSL Niki bag fake vs real, thanks
Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good webs or places to find *hotdups* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).
Depends on the factory
Just got LV Vavin PM from Atlanta Lenox Mall LV store…there’s no “Made in xxx” stamped on the bag, just a card saying Made in USA. How would anyone know if it’s real??
i seriously want that fake purse..
Not that I agree with the ridiculous 5-digit price tag for the large classic flap, but there have been countless reports from the last 20+ years of sales from counterfeit luxury items being linked to funding organized crime and terrorism. On a separate note, I find it weird that the tone of these videos (from a company selling designer pre-loved items) are purely educational and not really discouraging customers from buying fakes 😅
I personally don't like chanel bags, i like the hermes but man they're so expensive, I want a dupe
Thank you for the information. I learned from you that it is one of my favorite brands, great quality and affordable *hotdups* .
Whr did u find the faje one Asking for a friend
This this fake considered average? Would a superfake Chanel be more similar to the authentic bag?
yeah this fake is not great. a good fake will be much more similar to the original and smell nice.
And usually the super fakes are made from the same material as the real ones….
Yeah I don’t think the one he has is a super fake. Factories who produce super fakes will have access to the same materials and will have actual pieces of the authentics so they copy stitching, hardware, placement, etc to a T.
No matter the appearance or the metal parts of the *preluxscom* bag, I believe that as long as you are not a practitioner, you will never see any difference
Smell is a really good way to tell if a bag is fake
Chanel's current lambskin is appalling. Marks with a touch of a fingernail - permanently. (& Caviar isn't Luxury) 🙏🇬🇧
Are you sure you know what you're doing? Anyone who buys a "real" bag after watching this video must be crazy! Btw, this is not a superfake, they are even better and more expensive then 100 $...
The fake Chanel in the video is what's called a 10A replica. I found this manufacturer that makes carbon copies of both Chanel and Hermés. They don't even use the A-scale. I think for those carbon copies to be fully authenticated, the codes have to be verified and put under in the X-ray to confirm they're not authentic. I even bought a Birkin.
Please share the link. 😁
This fake Chanel looks soo good regardless😅 can you please link the website you bought it from?🙈
What website is fake Chanel bags on
Does how the packaging look even matter? In my opinion, as long as the fake is the same quality and uses the same materials as the authentic, why not save some money?
Where did u buy the fake one?
La sakoj ene de *esluxs* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
