Fake Mulberry, Chanel, Prada....

[Amandoh]

Had a look at this site earlier. I don't want a fake bag so have no intentions of ordering anything but I just wondered how this works.

If selling fake goods is illegal how are they able to get away with this? Do these sites set themselves up for short limited periods, take as much cash as they can then close down? Or is it a scam to get credit card details? All of the above I presume.

Has anyone had any experience of this site or similar?

That's extraordinary!

I have no idea how they could do that, but would definitely not recommend buying them. I have a Jasper Conran bag that looks, in style, very very similar to a Birkin bag BUT it has Jasper Conran's logo within-it is not pretending to be Hermes. I can't imagine that the style of the bag is protected, per se, but to adorn it with interlinked 'C's or a Prada monogram is counterfeiting. I would NOT want to give my credit card details to this company, however tempting the prospect!

I think they do it semi-legally by selling them AS replicas, so no fraud involved because they aren't passing them off as the genuine article.

I wouldn't recommend buying them though there could be a dodgy card cloning element to it.

I wonder also if the bags in the photos are of the replica bags or if they are the real Chanel, Gucci bags etc. You're then lulled in by how "real" they look but when it arrives it's not quite as authentic looking as the photos suggest. If it arrives at all.

The company is based in Spain so perhaps their laws aren't as rigid as our regarding selling conterfeit products.

I would never knowingly buy a fake but looking at those photos I can understand how someone could be drawn in. I'm just curious as to what the catch is.

Hi Amandoh,

I've just had a look at the Mulberry bags. The pics are of replica bags, not real ones. I have many genuine Mulberry bags and to me it is obvious at a glance that they are fakes.

The most obvious giveaway is that none of the colours of the bags are right, the shades are incorrect. I think that they might fool many people (probably 99% of the population who are not fashionistas!)but if you carried it around a mulberry fan you would be outed pretty quickly. I would guess that the same is true for the other bag brands that they sell. I sat down near a girl carrying a fake alexa last weekend. She looked sheepishly across at my real thing! Even dp spotted that hers was fake, lol.
