A Response to the NYT Article on the Superfake Handbag Industry

You can pick fine courier administrations like EMS, DHL etc for expensive items. Then here’s a simple guide to help you find luxury brands on Aliexpress. Aliexpress sellers aren’t allowed to sell branded goods of registered brands such as Nike, Adidas, Chanel and so on. So what they do instead is use something called hidden links. If you like to wear sports wear like tees replica bags, shorts and track pants, but don’t want to spend too much on the actual ones.

One of Bottega Veneta’s most iconic purses is the Jodie, a compact hobo-style bag made from soft woven leather. One of Bottega Veneta’s signatures is woven leather designs called “Intrecciato,” (Italian for “braided”) that they incorporate in purses, shoes, and more. Bottega Veneta is a luxury Italian fashion brand known for its eclectic apparel and accessories. You can wear a Chloe designer bag as an everyday workwear purse, a beach bag, or, depending on the size, an overnight weekender for quick trips. I recommend the Zara Canvas Mini City Bag—this Zara dupe has a similar shape as the designer version but is significantly more affordable.

Amazingly, it is the largest wholesale market for leather goods in China, with over 1.5 million pieces of leather goods, including replica bags, produced every day in Guangzhou Guihuagang. All sizes of wholesalers receive them from all over the world. In short, you don’t have to personally visit China every time and can easily buy bulk replica bags from the comfort of your laptop. For example, one of the most replicated handbags from the Givenchy lineup is the Antigona bag which costs hardly $35-$90 on sites like DHgate and AliExpress. The real bag however will cost over $2,500 on the open market, so anything below the MSRP will be considered a fake or replica of the original. With a steadfast commitment to perfection, we meticulously craft each product using the exact materials employed by these prestigious brands.

If the product feels too light, flimsy, or plasticky fake bags, it’s likely a poor-quality imitation. Many replica products originate from China, so using Chinese search terms can be effective. Look for subtle differences in design and quality between the original and replicas. Reverse image search is a powerful tool for finding replica products. To use Google Image Search, visit images.google.com and click the camera icon.

It’s combined with three distinct quatrefoil designs that repeat in the same order together with the LV monogram logo across the outside of the bag. If you notice irregular spacing, interruptions or a misaligned pattern along a seam, it’s likely that the bag is a fake. The Louis Vuitton logo might look simple enough, but this is where you can spot a fake Louis Vuitton bag quickly.
