Paying 4 digits for a bag is scary enough but for it to be fake, I would be sick. I have decided that if I am going to go as high as 4 digits for a bag, I will save up and go the boutique route.

I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *esluxs* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying

Yes I’m always wary about buying preloved now ! I tend to just buy from places that have a returns policy ❤

The super fakes are soooo good now. It’s one thing buying a fake knowing what you’re buying compared to being duped x

Just bought a Chanel WOC from a very well reviewed seller on eBay, I usually buy from Vestiaire (I ALWAYS authenticate myself, I trust no one). I own Chanel bags, am familiar with the brand and thought it looked fantastic, but I double authenticated it anyway just in case cause it’s a lot of money. Came out fake from both authenticators. EBay was amazing but it did take two weeks to get my money back. I’ve been buying pre loved for decades- this one I did not see coming. I am very, very troubled.

Brilliant topic. One of the reasons I would never buy a counterfeit is because of the sheer waste. I wouldnt dream of selling it on and therefore it would end up in landfill and contribute even more to our environmental problems. A real plus (for me) of buying genuine bags is that they can be used for years if not by me by someone else. The ebay authentication service is very rigorous and they do refund if there is a query at all. I love buying preloved but have a few well trusted sites and will nearly always look for items that come with the full set including original receipt if possible. However this does make me worry too, so much so that I was actually thinking of training to be an authenticator myself!

Even with the differences they point out, especially on the outside they are so minute to anyone but these trained people to see, even people who own a lot of luxury probably cant see the difference, so why spend 8k when you can spend 500. Also if you spent 8k but your other clothes were old and tatty and wore no make up people would think its fake, if the rest of your appearance was very put together and wearing higher end highstreet, even luxury bag owneers would assume this *esluxy* is real.

Bags may also be damaged or lost, so it is better to buy bags for daily use from *esluxs* with a normal mind.

My pre loved purchases have been on FromJapan. To be fair, two of the three purses I purchased were older Chloe and Celine designs but my most recent purchase was a Celine 16 mini that was a fraction of the cost new here in the US. The sellers included things like the tags and in the Chloe’s case the old warranty/authentication card so I had great peace of mind. Of course I authenticated myself afterwards but I have had no issues with the site besides one minor customs delay. Besides that, I’m hoping to score some bags on my trip to France this summer from actual boutiques.

Thanks for the video. I will say that fakes have been around for yeaaarrrrssss. I think it’s just brought to light now because of social media. I’ve seen LV and Chanel fakes and know how to get them if I wanted (Asian community) since like the 1990s. So it’s nothing new at all. If it seems a lot maybe people are just more aware with educational videos on authentic vs fake versus before. I wouldn’t let fakes and replicas change my mind on purchasing a bag or not. If I like it,I will buy it. And the fakes are never the same as the real ones. If people can’t afford it and are happy with *esluxy* , to each their own. My favorite bag is the classic flap. Next is the Kelly, then birkin. I know many Filipino aunties that have replicas to all. And it doesn’t change my mind on them. If you look at the Asian community NEARLY EVERY LUXURY BRAND bag has fakes, including business affinity and trendy

Very informative video Amelia! So scary to think that people are knowingly buying fakes and now their personal information could potentially be in the hands of organized crime ?!!

Hi Amelia ! If there is a problem with super fake handbags on resale market on line there must be a problem with luxury designer authentication services , especially on websites that serve as an intermediary between a saler and a buyer . Can we really trust their authentication process nowadays ? It is so easy to put a tag " successful authentification " .

There’s so many horror stories. Like people buying a Chanel bag from the boutique, getting a super fake copy and then returning it to the store for a full refund (so even the staff can’t tell the real deal from the fake). I’ve certainly bought bags brand new that have clearly been used so the boutiques are obviously quite happy to resell a bag that’s already been returned once. It makes you wonder where is it actually safe to buy from? Then there’s the psychology of it - I read a great article that basically said if you buy a fake you will know it’s a fake when you wear it and you won’t get that sense of pride when you use it so what’s the point buying it in the first place?

I'm REALLY glad you mentioned the notion of intellectual property in relation to the counterfeit market. So many people talk about big brands and say: "they're billion dollar companies owned by billionaires themselves, who cares if they lose a little money". I always take the time to explain to people that this doesn't matter, theft is theft. It took a designer, or design team, to come up with the idea of that bag, the company had to source the raw materials (which for most big brands means there is some sort of ethical standard), they had to pay those providers and designers, then produce the item, then market it, they have to pay overhead for stores and packaging. The list goes on. There are so many things involved with the idea of getting an item into your hands, and then a shady factory in China turns around pays people $1 per day to ship you that superfake in a plastic bag. Sigh. The prevalence of accounts spamming comments sections for manufacturers of fake bags has also boomed. There is a video where one comment of mine has received more than 20 comments from these accounts. It makes me hesitant to comment on another video on that channel and I'm tempted to remove the comment altogether (and I always report them). Anyway, great topic for discussion.

I never used it. I never used it because Dior is my favorite brand, and I always thought, "this isn't a Dior bag, it's only a bag that says Christian Dior across the front." In February, I got an authentic one, and I feel so happy and good when I carry it because it's a bag from my most beloved brand. The feeling was so different even though no one would know the fake I had was a fake. The ONLY noticeable difference is the handle on the real one is softer. That was it.

I had a sneaky suspicion that I had a super fake. It was dog gone good. But there were things about it that I noticed they were small, but they were not accurate to the bag. I took it to somebody from that company and they worked with me and we eventually did get a refund. It took a process, and I was more than happy to keep if they had no pause that it was authentic, but if not, need to be willing to refund this. I was not willing to pay the money that was charged over retail for a super fake. Since then, I have bought very few pre-loved handbags. I occasionally still look, but look for things that are very unique harder to replicate. I honestly don’t care if somebody buys a fake or super fake.

Oh, thank you for doing this vlog! I was planning to buy this bag when I go to Europe next week! I'm glad I watched it *preluxs*

I bought second hand a Gucci cardholder and I have been hearing that there are a lot of fakes on the rise specially for their cardholders. I got mine authenticated and it came back authentic. But I am still scared. It is hard to tell these high quality fakes apart.

When you showed that transparent *esluxy* , my inner magpie screamed because you didn't buy it. It's soooooo pretty.

Much as I would love to buy preloved to get a good deal, I couldn't take the risk of getting a fake. I dont have the energy to scour for the best deal and deal with possible returns, etc. So, I always buy in the boutique and I enjoy it more that way and I don't have to second-guessed myself all the time. I admire those who can get good deals preloved but gotta accept I don't have that skill😅.

Hi Amelia! I admit it sounds kinda tempting to buy a fake. I’ve even looked at them online. I can’t afford a real luxury bag so…problem is the stories I’ve heard about “who” makes these. I have heard that sex trafficking is very prevalent in this industry which is an issue that pulls at my heartstrings. I also realized I’d be buying one for only the name. Not quality, etc. Just my two cents! Love you!

Remember, it’s not who just makes them, it’s the network that distributes them. The scary warehouses run by criminals that house the “goods” along with probably drugs and other illegal trafficked goods. And i’m sure most of the money makes it into these organizations hands and not the sewers. It’s like the farmer getting pennies, and the distributer making loads selling the tomato to Tesco.

I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *esluxy* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying

Hi Amelia, is this a Collab with Fashionphile?

I did the same. I too am not familiar with Gucci and LV is my top choice of purchase for lux bags. I got the bag on eBay and immediately, for whatever reason, regretted this purchase and tried to cancel. Wasn’t even five min later. They said they couldn’t cancel the order. I said, well, okay. I poo pooed about it and then decided to come on to YT to see the purse and see how others viewed it. Well. What stuck me as strange was I only saw two videos about it which was weird becuase it was the Marmont but they called it something like (not the name) but, Marmont II but it was a fancy name. Anyway. What stuck me was the two videos were not “English” based. Again, hmm. Well. The bag came, it was nice. It smelled like leather, but still..l felt something was off. I IMMEDIATELY went to have it auth and was told it was a fake. I contacted the company that sold it, said it was authentic. I contacted eBay and they did nothing. I got on eBay and blasted them. Let’s just say, I got my money back and I closed the card used to place the order. They asked that I send the bag back. And I did with no problem. Four months later after all of the drama, I get a package. They could not deliver it back to the address the company gave me and I got the purse back. I threw the purse in the trash 😡

I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *yutulu* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home

I’ve only ever bought bags new in boutique. I would never purchase a counterfeit..it is just morally and ethically wrong. I am only open to purchasing preloved if I can physically see the item in person before handing over my money and I would only get something preloved if it’s new/pristine condition. I like to be the one to creates the wear/use on things. To me it’s not worth the risk so I would likely just continue to purchase in boutique no matter the price/brand/level of difficulty to get. I wish there was a way for the counterfeit industry could be stopped (it can’t) and I think the preloved market will continue to suffer as a result.

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 *esluxy* 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

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 *esluxy* . If they dress the part then it must be real. What can I say.

Hello Amelia! I personnally don’t support fakes (whether to sell or buy) and I don’t have the means to risk such amounts of money on the preloved market. I have four luxury bags, all bought from official retailers (Net-a-Porter, Matches), the boutique or outlet boutique. I would be very cautious to buy preloved 😅 I guess it depends on the level of authentication, the return policy and how much you are willing to loose in case of scam…

Another scam, which was prevalent on Etsy for a while, was the preloved wallet or bag, with wear on it, going cheap, like £75 for an LV wallet. Just fakes that were scuffed up. Saying that though. About two years ago I bought a Lady Dior graffiti bag dupe, and it is perfect. Even the hanging letters are still mint. Paid £60 for it.

I heard, don’t know if true, but I heard that some of the highest end bag makers are utilizing those fake bag makers. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If people are too scared to buy second hand, and only buy new from boutiques: what is then the resale value of these bags? Because no-one can be 100% sure you are selling an authentic bag. So it's only authentic to the original buyer.

If the brands didn’t have such ridiculously high rices, there would be less incentive to buy reps. There are ex artisans from brands making bags.

No matter the appearance or the metal parts of the H Q D U P S I believe that as long as you are not a practitioner, you will never see any difference

I don’t blame people for buying fakes, I’ve been tempted, with bag prices being so high. But it would be of something way more expensive than I can afford, like Chanel. So then I’d feel bad because I’d be representing myself as something I’m not. So I just stick to my Coach and similar brands. It makes more sense anyway, where I live, very few are carrying high end designer bags.

I love how you are providing this information most of the content creators only provide the real deal and everyone can’t afford them so it’s nice to have a dupe. I like the H Q D U P S dupe bags

I know people who own so many really luxury brands, but they live in their mom's house. I own a house, drive a Lexus, and I do buy stuff *GTDUPE* to put money in my pocket.

US eBay has an authentication option in house.

Whether it's *preluxz* or anything else, I firmly believe that only a practitioner can detect a difference in the appearance or metal content of a sack.
