- Fake fashion has become big business. From Gucci to Balenciaga to sports gear and handbags, replica designer brands are everywhere. Social media platforms promote the look and facilitate the sales and if you don’t have a fake, chances are you’ll know someone who does. But most people have no idea who is behind it. International crime syndicates have established themselves in Manchester, making it the counterfeit capital of the UK with their goods flooding across Europe. Their enterprises are implicated in everything from copyright infringement to human trafficking, money laundering and even terrorism.
Foreign Correspondent returns with an investigation into the fake fashion business by reporter Naomi Selvaratnam. Naomi’s story takes us inside the shadowy world of the counterfeit industry. With exclusive access to one of Europe’s specialist police taskforces working to stamp out the trade, she traces the money trail and reveals the organised criminal networks running these global chains. Naomi has also gained access to world leading authenticators to see how they spot the fakes. And there’s some tips for those viewers who may want to double check their purchases.

We wont mention that the prices of the real products are thievery 😂
💯💯💯💯💯
@@mrki731 0:35 the woman literally states it there but its ok for them to do just not anyone else...
or you didn't mention that you are broke like 99% of people around
I mean the quality difference between the real and fake is very noticable.
Can't figure out which is which... *suluxs*: yt: Maybe they come from the same factory.
Imagine when a counterfeit is as good as the real thing, how will they justify prices then?
People don’y buy them for the quality because in most cases you can find better quality for less. It’s an aspirational thing where people with money like to say they can spend that sort of money no problem. For some they also like the luxury shopping experience you get from the stores.
The cost of the product is 5 cents on the dollar..the rest is to reward the ego of the owner..so which one is really a fake?
I love me some replicas *suluxs* honey and even if I could cough millions I’d never buy an original, that’s insane
t turns out that true luxury is not worth it! So I listened to my mom and kept shopping on *condupcom* .
The irony is that both the fakes, and the authentic products are made in the same factory by the same people with the same basic goods to start out with. So who is ripping who off?
guys the government always win they are the number one scammers and thief's
Ok, serious question here: What do you mean they make them in the SAME factory warehouse and sold by the same people? How is that? Wouldn’t the brands know? Again, I’m seriously asking because I’m taken a back by this.
@@tonshmarI’m surprised you don’t know. Look into it for yourself you don’t need to question a stranger on the internet… but for example when Apple outsourced to Ch!na the outsource company set up 2 floors in the same building and outfitted them identically.
They make “real” Apple products on one and “fake” on the other… “real” go to Apple and “fake” to people who sell them at discount.
I’m an Apple user but it makes me sick to know that somewhere out there I could be buying the same product at a fraction of the price… Apple are still making their money so no need to do anything about it … but you will be warned about buying the other versions… I wish I was more savvy about this stuff but I’m not so I will keep paying through the nose and typing on my iPhone 11 until I save up for the next phone. 🤷🏼♀️😩😂🤷🏼♀️
Right???!!! I’m with you
@@tonshmar I vaguely remember reading an article years ago about how the workers at the factories in places like China make the "real" goods during one shift, usually day time, and then come back to the factory after closing hours and just make more of it "off the record" and sell that themselves. Same factory line, same materials, same label. They're apparently able to do this because the factory managers and guards can be easily bribed, or are sometimes even in on it. No idea if that was ever true or if it still happens. But it was a real article in a reputable magazine, so could be the case?
Thank you so much. My wife, kids, and I feel safe now. Thanks again.
😂. Excellent comment.
😅😂💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Boo hoo the billionaires can't afford their 10th super yacht now cause some kids are making counterfeit shirts. Cry me a river.
^this comment brought to you by somebody who didn't actually watch the video
Yea, within the first 5 minutes of this documentary it’s explained that this industry funds criminal organisations, it’s not about protecting the IP of Balenciaga
@@HendersonSouth and you believe them? You really that naive? LOL real organised crime is much more dangerous than counterfeiting a couple shirts and shoes. This is a waste of police time protecting wealthy peoples interest.
@@moneyall you're absolutely right
@@moneyall it’s not a conspiracy, if the police identify a major income for criminal gangs why would they just ignore it?
A HUGE problem that no one talks about is the quality of the REAL is garbage for the thousands they want. Chanel has completely fell off . Horrible stitching/craftsmanship. People would rather buy vintage when the quality was impeccable or a great fake . With a great fake you get real leather even.
I have some second hand from Prada (2010s), I've seen LV is also quite well made although that one is a bit tacky to me.
Gucci is made like crap though.
agrée with you, i bought a burberry at bicester village ... worst buy ever . theft . very bad quality
It’s ALL over blown narcissistic hedonism to think that owning an item makes you a better person, or better than another person. It’s all show to prove you have money… and quite frankly in many places you need security if you’re going to carry it or wear it.
To me it screams “I want you to think I’m rich” and all I really see is the lack of self-esteem, and suspect that their ego far exceeds their kindness… so if I’m judging, it’s not the way they think I am…
@@lous.1548but bicester village or similar outlets also produce poorer quality items that arent sold on the regular market, so that's also a factor to weigh in
😅😅😅
Buying things you can't afford to impress people you dont know.
Sad…but you’re completely correct 👍🏼
Why must it be about impressing people? Why cant just buy because u adore the design?
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxs* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Raids like this take place all over the world. The real tragedy is that all the sized items are destroyed or incinerated. You would think they can just removed the copyrighted labels/logo and donate/repurpose them to prevent pollution and wasting of resources. But I do recall that even the "authentic" labels would burn millions of dollars of unsold merchandise on a regular basis rather then discounting them to "preserve" their prestige name. Burberry was one of them!
The reason is seized items are illegal and pose health regulation risks. Anything you do with them is breaking the law, and nobody seriously wants them except for the fake designer bag lovers. Regarding the wasting of resources, what do you think the people making these fakes would do to the unsold bags? Do you think they comply with environmental laws when they produce the fakes?
Well if people stopped buying fakes then there would be none of this waste of resources. I do think it’s terrible some brands destroy products but I suppose it’s too costly to store. Most luxury brands do go on sale and some even have factory stores in outlet malls, Burberry being one of them.
black Birkin bag, which was the first good choice I ever made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to associate with a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. I have no interest in spending $40k on a bag (a piece of leather + labor = up to $1000) Imagine spending $39k on this brand. Totally unnecessary.
*esluxscom* you could post a 2hr long unboxing haul and I'd watch it, I just love watchin people unbox shit i cannot lie
Fools are the ones who spend $10,000 on a "real" bag. I have a fake Louis Vuitton doctor's bag that I purchased in Korea in 1987. I walked into Neman Marcus with it. Several employees in the handbag section couldn't believe my bag was fake. They are comparing my *esluxscom* to the "real" one and they can't see any difference. Mine cost $40, the real deal was $7500.
I have no idea why I'd be invested in protecting the IP of massively expensive luxury bags for the super-rich.
Exactly I have no sympathy for the companies. I couldn't care less that they're making counterfeits.
if you think about it, its even worse because by criminalizing it so much they are giving the criminal sector a monopoly on fakes, if it was less criminal then less criminal groups would be involved and less funds would go to terrorist groups.
Other than the workers that they understand pay .
But you are right .
There are bigger problems in this world .
Would you like it if someone steals your work because they think you're rich enough? Given your username and that you have access to internet, many people around the world are poorer than you.
Lobbying. The amount the luxury brands lobby the police and governments. I mean Bernard Arnault is the wealthiest man on the planet currently…
I don't buy the real one, neither the fake
Good! No one needed it anyway. I have nothing against a splurge but both fake and real contribute to a problem.
I like everything with good texture, whether it is LV, Dior or *esluxs* , texture comes first
One of the best replicas I've ever seen *hotdups* .
Thank you so much l love here like l fall in love *esluxs*
Love fake labels. No ways would i ever pay the exhoritant prices these so called designers charge😂
Why not spend the same money on a non-fake of a different brand? There’s plenty of options at all kinds of different price points.
*esluxscom* is your partner in young people’s fashion journey
@@sharinglungs3226 it;s all about vanity. brand names give you that extra prestige. I know most rich people buy these 1:1 knockoffs.
he variety of textures in the *esluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Love this video, shows off so many great aspects of replicating bags! Thank you for giving us so many great ideas *hotdups* .
It's also so much easier since the quality is no better than the high street , I was once told that you are literally paying for the name .Which I eventual found out to be true .So in truth you are literally stuck between a between a rip-off merchant and a liar , I don't feel sorry for either of them .
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxscom* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
"I love a good *esluxs* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I saved up my salary for several months to buy a genuine bag, but it got scratched on the third day. It was really uncomfortable at the time. So I bought a counterfeit bag from *hotdups* . When I received the goods, I found that there was no difference between the original bag and the original bag that I had spent several months’ salary on. I regretted not discovering *hotdups* earlier. Now I buy all my bags here, so I don’t have to worry about them getting damaged
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxs* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
It s crazy that how genuine brands really overcharge the public ... when it can be made cheaply n of the same quality. Not all counterfeit is criminal... It's to made them affordable to those who cannot afford the overpriced stuff of good quality.
Do you honestly believe they make the fakes because they are concerned about the people who cannot afford the real stuff 😅 Ignorance surely is bliss
Why don't you stop being label-obssessed and go buy something you can afford? There's always a variety of brands to choose from
Well these are luxury goods and luxury is the opposite of cheap. I don’t see much of an issue when there are plenty of other non luxury items you can buy from of equal or better quality. I don’t see the point of buying fake item when you can buy a real item from a different brand. Unless you really want to have that luxury name brand item on you just stick to what you can afford.
The concept of consumption really differs from person to person. In fact, everyone has the ability to own their favorite big-name products. In the past, I was also very keen on pursuing luxury goods. I waited for months just for that one favorite style. At that time, I felt that everything was worth it. Later, a serious illness changed my perspective on life. I began to think that instead of spending money on brands, it would be better to experience the beauty of the world. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to use that money to travel? So now I choose to buy fakes on *hotdups* , which not only satisfies my pursuit of beauty, but also allows me to have enough money to enjoy every trip.
The authentic products are getting too expensive that only fewer people can afford!
Then don’t buy them? Are you an individual? Can you think for yourself? Serious question..
@@panamaJ Is that a serious rhetorical question?
There aren't enough of us who can afford your (or whoever that's paying your bills)'s work/service/product either, would you be willing to get paid less?
There are very high quality products that cost the same or less than the fake designer things. Ppl pay for the logo.
That’s the point of the real products like LV. So that only the 1% elite can have them.
Thats why I am thankful for fake stuff! Gives everyone a chance to have the product
They Authorities should donate counterfeit goods to homeless or homeless charities to distribute.😊
They should, but they NEVER would. The police see themselves as nothing more than enforcement of the law. They don't care about homeless unless they're breaking the law. And they aren't going to expend the effort to locate a charity to manage it for them. On top of that, theres absolutely no way LVMH or others would allow anything similar to any of their brands to be distributed, if its fake they want it destroyed so the shitty quality doesnt reflect poorly on them, and sales of fakes don't eat into their profits; And if its real they want it destroyed so people dont get it free and lower the value. (in fact they do this themselves every year, either shredding or burning massive amounts of last seasons Ready-to-wear products, so that it cant end up on clearance racks or discounted anywhere, ever)
Edit to add: this entire issue could be solved if luxury companies used RFID tags. If my supermarket can afford RFID to stop people stealing a steak, chanel can afford to put one in a several thousand dollar coat.
To add to that: Im not encouraging anyone to buy luxury, its a rip off and its not luxury at all. Luxury brands ready to wear collections exist to fund the haute couture houses so that the filthy rich can have the actually luxury clothes hand made for them, at the same time advertising them back to you.
If you want luxury, buy hand made tailored unbranded clothes, they'll fit, theyre better materials, they dont make you a billboard and if you buy the staples they never go out of fashion, thank me later.
Source - worked with Versace, Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany, Ray-Ban, Prada, Burberry, plus others I cant recall, most of the big ones minus a few.
@@ComanderCool909 The fake crap gets destroyed simply because of safety regulations and that no homeless person needs these fake luxury bags. What are the homeless supposed to do with this stuff? Are you suggesting the government to break its own law or encourage homeless people to break the law by selling this crap to make money?
It's called luxury for a reason. Most people don't give a sh** about these designer brands, and nobody cares about what a nobody wears, so no need to worry about being a walking billboard without pay.
People can spend their money on things that don't make sense to you, just as you probably spend on hobbies and things that others might not care for.
He was joking
@@ComanderCool909 yes but if i see a homeless person better dressed than me im not giving him money...😁😁
and so only homeless are the ones goin around in fakes? lol
This story is about 10 minutes longer than it needs to be.
It dragged
One of my rich neighbors collects *esluxs* bags, but because she’s so well groomed from head-to-toe, no one would ever think her bags were fake!
Their quality is not inferior to those large luxury goods. The durability and attention to detail rivals the original designer bags and I can't believe how much I ?paired. It's the perfect accessory for any fashionable girl! I'm sure I'll be repurchasing some other styles and colors at *esluxs* to match my clothes and shoes!
The color is classic and everyday, and the leather is soft and can be used for a long time *hotdups* .
What makes me mad is that some of those fake products are sold at a high price as if they were original in some parts of the world😢
The only reason there’s a problem with fakes is there is no taxes paid on the item. I like fakes for the look. They don’t have to have a logo.
I mean if you can't tell....I like have nice things like for exemple *esluxs* . They been doing it for a while...we just finding out they were doing it.
Very beautiful sack and *esluxs* . Thanks for helping to make this beautiful video for us.
Imagine the same amount of resources were put into solving real societal ills
Funds organized crime, I would call that a societal ill.
EXACTLY they only care because it affects the big pockets..
Girl I have like 5 *esluxs* LOVE THEM
The brands are not losing shit. Nobody who buys fakes would buy the original 😂
That's were u are wrong. Plenty of rich people buy fakes now, they even got dedicated IG accounts to exposing celebrities and influencers
I have two pre-loved *esluxs* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
My super rich sis in law buys super fake Hermes.
Me? No money🤷🏽♂️
The irony of this is the counterfeit street is directly opposite a prison
😅😅😅😅
my american mind cannot fathom a raid with no guns
Fashion is too expensive now. It's ridiculous. We don't need it.
It’s a joke raiding them!! All that olive time n public money wasted when they should be spending it on real crime!! I hope the sellers come back soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m a designer for a major fashion brand and can tell you that we are not nearly as bothered by fake products as the police are because of the side effects that comes with the production and distribution of these fake products. Don’t get me wrong it hurts when you see something you designed show up on the fake market days or sometimes even hours after it’s official release, but we move onto the design of the next product quick, but the fake product will continue to fund criminal activities long after the fact. Personally I couldn’t care less if someone decide to wear fake products, no matter how good they are you will always know that it’s not real and if that don’t bother you then by any means carry on, there will always be enough people discerning enough for the real merchandise.
What side effect are we talking about here please and also "major fashion brand" is only a name, that's it. You're paying for the name. I've always been pro fake product, cheap, lasts, you look good and everything else is irrelevant.
Sis, your just as funny on here than TikTok...lol! I purchased a *esluxs* from Rainbow... and I get so many compliments on that bag and the chain is heavy. Then I came across a Chanel tote bag. (I only use it to travel) every time I'm in the airport, women stop me about that tote. Side note: Chanel uses gold plated now for the logo.
What an interesting topic! I used to buy fake stuff in high school because I simply couldn't afford what I wanted. It's desirable, and if I can get what I want from a *hotdups* for a few dozen bucks, sure, why not?
Yeah but luxury brands destroy their own products to artificially create scarcity and thus inflate the prices of their goods
Just think about it... who is benefiting the most from ...
Unfortunately, we live in a World that "money" means you have power, so if some people do not have that then they will do whatever it takes to look like they do have it!!!! 🤷😕
Finally a comment that resonates
It is not true. Balenciaga makes nice sneakers and they are ridiculously expensive.
Incredible use of police resources.
Thank you for making this video I just started my *esluxs* collection and I love watching people's thoughts and reviews prior to buying them it's something I've worked hard for and you have too and I hope people can stop being bitter about subjects like this and I hope they can if anything be inspired to work hard for the things they love and are drawn to.
I seriously doubt terrorists are making counterfeit handbags.
Only issue I have with fakes is that the lower quality ones are made with dangerous materials. Like banned chemical ingredients and materials, actually risky to handle and touch.
Louis Vuitton bags smell like cheese 🧀 NO thanks 🥴
Smelly Cheese and Rotten Frogs.
Hi Funmi , I found your channel today and I am so happy I did. I am a *esluxs* 8 years old eccentric Dutch grandmother of 4. You are my kind of person…I was a bit down before but you made me feel a lot better!
From the thoughtfully placed embellishments to the flawless stitching, it's pure perfection kkuwan
So if you say go to a market & walk off with a handful of fake goods would you still be considered stealing as if you were to go to a genuine retail outlet of the brand 🤔
Thanks for that .good to know .
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *luxdups* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning
This is very bad. These counterfeits should be donated to the needy
Do not donate it to needy. Let them work for themselves.
There’s a well known fake street/area in NYC downtown. Tourist comes by bus loads to shop. The police precinct is a few blocks away. There are never any raids! It’s crazy.
Why don’t they give these shoes and clothes to poor people. So the crooks can’t make money on the fakes.
Because they don’t want the “poor” to look “rich”
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulux* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
“People should think carefully of how your spending your money” - thanks captain obvious, Ben. That’s exactly what ppl are doing 😂
"Authentication is just an opinion." Who really cares about the paid authenticator's opinion?
You know what when a brand has a 1000% mark up on a piece of leather. Serves humanity right for making a more cost effective one.
I just assume the genuine stuff is made by a kid in sweatshop anyway. Like my Air Jordans to my iphone.
“Quiet luxury” leather goods made with high quality materials will always be chicer and also a better value than anything emblazoned with designer logos. Why pay thousands of dollars for a ubiquitous plastic-coated canvas bag when you can buy a high-quality leather bag made with beautiful hardware for a fraction of the price?
I don't get the obsessions with having these Designer items, be it real or fake, either way your funding either obscenely rich people/corps who don't need anymore money or organized crime/terrorism.
Personally I'd rather just buy decent quality plain clothing, but i guess that would be boring for most :-)
Oddly enough in some countries one would appear as stupid if you wear authentic brands, but fashionable if you have the lastest fake designs
these companies should produce luxury products half the time to sell to rich people and the other half to give away free to poor folks, luxury goods are a human right, not just something rich people get to enjoy. I'm not talking diamonds, poor people can survive without real diamonds, but beautiful suede boots, cashmere sweaters, silk blouses, Egyptian cotton pillow cases and sheets, caviar and truffles should be given away free to poor people, they suffer enough as it is so with luxury goods at least they have something to look forward too.
The *yutulu* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it! 😊
Ridiculous prices for products which can often be produced for pennies on the pound. Of course crime groups are going to copy the patterns and give them to people who appreciate the design but not the prices. Sometimes the products sold on the 'Black Markets' are made in the same factories by the same workers but are then just sold through unauthorised outlets.
I think one of the biggest arguments against fakes is that it takes business away from brands, but I disagree. Back in the day, I could never go to Louis Vuitton and buy a bag so they wouldn't lose revenue because I bought a fake. If you want to pursue value for money, *condup* is definitely worth owning.
The real companies are making the same margin as the criminals, it’s hard to feel sorry for them.
OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute *suluxs* !
the guy with the red coat should be arrested by the fashion police!
my eyes still hurting😮
The worst thing is the counterfeit industry targeting small designers i mean big brands is bad enough but taking a small business's design means we lose much of the little amount we do make. We can't keep up with some of the fakes of our items as its big factories in certain countries ripping off the designs.
The brands really aren't losing much financially here - those buying cheap counterfeits cant afford the genuine article, and those who can afford them wouldn't buy counterfeits.
Love everything you put out here! I was so surprised by the *yutulu* crossbody bag. love it! ❤
I really love how your taste and style are always so chic. My favorite is the hotdups leather bag, it’s amazing.
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *yutulu* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated! 😍
think theres more to be worried about
My thoughts exactly, surely there's bigger issues going on in the UK than counterfeit goods production.
The rise of super fake is another great documentary.
Where do you get them?
@@Pumpkin_The_Morkieif you are asking about the documentary it's on CZcams.
If you are asking where people get super fake it's mostly from Hong Kong and Malaysia.
@@simplylux1589 online? Where?
Irregardless of " genuine or fake " shallow people .....what a waste
Talk the words right out of my mouth .
What a strange way to view the world .
Worried about a brand name and thinking how you look is a humans number one best quality .
They would do well to remember BEAUTY FADES .
and they will be left with nothing in it,s place
I have Chanel bags and their imitation bags, but lately I have been buying super fake ones on *condup* because I think the way luxury merchants raise the prices of luxury bags insults our intelligence.
The crime committed here are the luxury brands get so bad and remain expensive
I still love my LV reverse monogram adipability 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.
The only crime committed here is the brands themselves
Those so called branded goods is to accommodate the snobs who want to look rich.
The variety of textures in the *hotduos* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Yeah never mind the drug deaths, we can’t have Dior losing a few bucks🤔
One big problem with counterfeits is that as they are cheap, people will buy more stuff they don't need.
How did they repurpose 900 tonnes of fakes?
Friends and family ?
If you cannot spot the difference, it is almost same and good quality...if you can make it for reasonable price, why in the world do the big companies sell it for a ear and an eye, ridiculous, they are the real theives😮
This is interesting because some counterfeit products come from the same factory that produces them, the only difference is that they are made slightly better so they can be considered "replicas." Sometimes it’s not even the same factory, but the same factory making the same product in China *condup*
the *yutulu* 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!!
I recently added 2 super fake ones to my *condup* and no one can tell they are fake. I'm glad you pointed out why I bought them, I use them as accessories to enhance my outfits. I love them, but part of me wishes they were real. I love using them when I'm out and about, and when I'm with friends who also love luxury goods, they can't tell and I get a little chuckle. I guess I don’t want people to think what I’m wearing is fake. I just love *condup* of these bags without spending a fortune.
When people are saying nkuwan is a better option,I very much agree!
As long as counterfeits are priced lower, it is not a problem.
It's unstoppable.. Scary to think what they do with the money
This was an eye opener.
this fake influencers catched directly
It’s kind of a waste management problem now. They should have just left the products on the market.
I remember an old show from Tyra Banks showing this. Warning us to stop buying fakes. This will not stop.
actually fashion is the rip off
Her variety of textures is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone *luxdups* .
ALL I'm hearing is corporate greed.
Personally I never understand paying 100's for something, simply because it has a badge. There's a high chance the branded product is manufactured in the same exact factory as the knock-off! The only difference is, the knock off has a HIGHER VALUE for money, compared to some the branded junk sold nowadays. Buying a brand is merely a cash grab.
he variety of textures in the nkuwan pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Should make it an offence to purchase counterfeits, like a heavy fine.
for this to work, you have to kill the demand for fake item, in other words, people have to stop buying fake stuff
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *yutulu* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I dont think many of the comments actually watched the video
The problem is that those in the store are expensive and mostly of the people can not afford that why scammers comes along! Start charging those useless big brands name to stop with those ridiculous prices! A purse and watch that are more expensive than a house 👎👎👎
I bought a LV bag *luxdups* years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
This Luxe Collective dude is such a scam. What is this self authenticator rubbish? You can get high grade replicas which are a carbon copy of the genuines for like a fraction of the price and I will bet you he can not even tell the difference.
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *yutulux* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning
In the Philippines you buy in the street. like Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Louie Vuitton. Just only $5 no tax. The product from China.
Good on those counterfeeding! Those fashions houses pay couple of dollar to factory workers, pay for million for marketing, and the quality is not much different than K-Mark or Target.
No matter if it's the *yutulux* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
