Counterfeit Handbag Warning


Last Update: 6/26/2007 5:54 pm
Did you hear about Sam's Club unknowingly selling counterfeit designer purses?

That may leave you wondering: is my bag real or counterfeit?

Forget street vendors: they admit their bags are fakes. The real question concerns designer bags for sale in overstock stores, or on eBay and other websites.

The website "e Fashion House dot com" says fakes are now very realistic, especially with the top 4 brands: Gucci, Fendi, Prada, and Vuitton.

So it says research the seller, and make sure you get a money back guarantee.

Warning signs of a fake?

  • Glued on labels or lining
  • Imperfect stiching
  • No logo inside the bag
  • A care book that doesn't match the exact purse.

My advice....with fakes now selling for hundreds of dollars, do your homework before you get "bagged."
