| Juicy bags $99 at this site! This site has Juicy bags for $99!! I'm sure they must be a knock off right?? I dont' care about having the actual name brand BUT I do care about it holding up. I got a bag of ebay that looked like a juicy and it fell apart. Does anyone know anything about the bags on this site? http://www.techtraders.ca/juicy-cout...t-carrier.html Suzie |

| Is the real deal handles covered in plastic I know Coach not juicy and the fakes are always covered in plastic Can't offer much advise other than I wouldn't pay $100 for a fake that is to much when they are only worth about 25 MAX

| Fakes are made poorly and they fall apart quick which I think you said you had one that fell apart quick. I went to a forum I am on all about knockoffs and I didn't find that store in the search. I am not sure if they are legit, but the plastic on the handles was a red flag. Good luck finding what you are looking for!

| They definitly don't look authentic to me. Another red flag was that you have to buy the dust cover...I haven't bought a Juicy bag, but all of the nice purses I know that come with the dust cover; it's always included

Around here the malls have those kiasks in the middle and some have fake purses. Maybe try the malls in your area?

| Ebay has a really good area with ways you can spot fake Dooney and Bourke, Juicy Couture, etc..... and this is the link to the Juicy COuture info: http://reviews.ebay.com/Spotting-fak...00000000100448 As I was reading it said that Juicy Courture NEVER wraps anything in plastic only tissue! That is one of the ways to tell a knock off from a real one. I think the ones on the site you found are knock-offs and they are scheming! I have looked through that whole site and there is NOTHING small print or large saying those bags are not real! I wouldnt recommend buying from them!

| so the reason fakes are bad is because they are poorly made and fall apart? The one that I had looked like a juicy bag but they didn't advirtise that it was. Both bags looked awesome...but they fell apart almost the minute I put my dog in them. I'm glad I posted because I thought it was just a "name" thing. I didn't realize ther ewas a quality difference3. suzie |

| I don't want to offend anyone so here goes why fakes are bad(if you are offended in any way shape or form I am sorry) There has been much abuse by counterfeiters, with an alarming increase of counterfeit items sold through the world wide web. Innocent members are being ripped off hundreds of thousand of dollars per day. In addition, most buyers don't realize that when buying illegal counterfeits, you are actually supporting forced child labor, terrorism, organized crime and theft of Intellectual Property Rights. It is disturbing to think that thousands of people died fighting for freedom and human rights, and there are people knowingly buying knockoffs at house parties, flea markets or at Canal Street in Chinatown, New York. When knockoffs are sold as "100% Guaranteed Authentic" on the internet or auction sites it is deceitful and insulting to the buyers. Most shoppers are not aware that auction sites do not police the products sold. The most effective way to combat counterfeiters is to have informed buyers and report the counterfeiters to the authorities. That my friend is why knockoffs are bad

I must say I used my knock off Louis Vuitton carrier for a week and the bottom was already coming loose at the seams! I have had my authentic for about 3 months now and its still in great shape! Plus Louis Vuitton stands by their products with warrenties and registrations! Buying one name brand authentic item saves you money in the long run rather than buying 2 knock offs for say 200.00 and end up throwing them away in less than a month! JMO

| The bags are actually cute to be knockoffs and they have been copied exact to the original. Designers always put serial numbers and or serial cards in their bags and dust covers are included. For a $99 sale, I would call the operater and ask for authenticity. The handles are covered and must copies from overseas have the handles covered. Lord knows I've purchased enough real designer bags and shoes to know. But I also grabbed some knock off bags while visiting New York and the handles were covered. They were still nice to carry because they matched something I had. But not for $99.
