SCAMMED BUYING LUXURY BAGS ONLINE - THEY WERE FAKE! *watch before you buy!*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- I was scammed shopping online, I bought a fake Gucci handbag shopping online with ebay, when I eventually had the bag authenticated, it was a fake, a counterfeit bag in my collection, and I had no idea the bag was not authentic! My best friend then bought me a Louis Vuitton passport cover in the Paris print that we had been searching for, only for the LV that arrived to also be fake and counterfeit! More recently a Dior saddle bag became available that looked really good, both myself and deb from @wildunfiltered thought the bag was real, until we got it authenticated by Legit Grails, and the bag was fake! This would have been the third item purchased that was a scam and a fake! Thankfully we had this one authenticate din advance and the bag did not make it's way into our collections.
Legit grails are an industry leading authentication service and I am so happy to collaborate with them on this video to spread the word and encourage everyone to have their luxury items authenticated.

Your counterfeit Gucci Marmot was probably made by the same people who make the “real” ones 😂
It really could have been!
Exactly.
Came here to say this. At this point it is all chinese workers. Be it in china or italy. Same people. So people can stop oohing and aahing at fakes. The real ones are made by same people- 💯 with same material 😂😂😂😂
I am inclined to agree. It is definitely possible!
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable*preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
I can’t remember the name of the RUclipsr, she a luxury fan, She paid hundreds for a Dior wash bag, green patterned one. It wasn’t even lined. It was stitched roughly under the zip. And it was real. It was the quality of something from Poundland
The quality decline in some brands is shocking
I bought a beautiful Celine bag and the little pouch was roughly sewn with patches of material only on the inside
I think it was Heart Mumblr
And they can take pictures of a real item and then mail you a fake! So make sure to submit your own photos once you have the bag too
Such a good point, photos of the actual item you receive
You’re so passionate about this. I definitely could see you running a prelove luxury business if you didn’t have your existing one. I think your business experience definitely helped
Thank you, i do think it helped me really stress test
Thanks for this video, Amelia. It’s scary how close these super fakes get to looking real.
It really is
I'm too scared to buy preloved😂. I feel like EVERY luxury RUclipsr has been scammed at some point so that is kinda scary.
It's far too prevalent
Yeah I am absolutely too nervous to spend on pre-loved. These scammers buy the real ones, and fake ones, and sell the fake as real with real receipts etc so it makes it believable.
Hi Amelia, long time occasional viewer here
Things you and Deb overlooked regarding that white Saddle just based on the first photo you used on the video:
the glazing is a little too thick, literal microns
the tip of the front strap that doesn't have the D is not symmetrical, one side is "flatter" than the other by, again, literal microns
Is literally the smallest details that can give it away because for better (anxiety management) or for worse (cases like this) most people are not used to noticing these kinds of details, and on the opposite side of the spectrum sometimes the fakes are too perfect compared with the real thing
Absolutely. We weren't used to looking at the tiny details, why i would not trust my own view, i'd be too afraid i've missed something
If fakes are so good now, how can an online authentication be accurate?
I think that's why they ask for so many photos, i guess it's as close to certain as it can be
Oh that Birkin! 💜 that’s my grail!
1 answer- buy less and only at the merchant/store.
That is an option
First and last time I purchased a bag from Ebay like 20 years ago. Brand new knock off.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the*preluxz* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kisluxbag leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Oh that Birkin! 💜 that’s my grail
Thank you!
eBay now does authentication. The bag gets shipped to them and after the authentication is complete, the bag is shipped to the byer. Authenticating the bag from pictures is not a valid authentication. It is important to see the bag in person. The certificates from on-line authenticators are not accepted as valid if you ever need to dispute an authenticity claim.
Oh, the certificate from online worked for the lv passport cover bestie bought
@@ameliarosescloset Yes. I mean if the on-line authenticator deems it authentic, it is not considered proof that it is authentic if someone claims it is not authentic later.
cos the bag and the photos used might be different bags? I guess?
@@seabreeze4559 That is one of the reasons. Another one is that materials are different between super fakes and authentic bags. You can't tell from the pictures. You have to touch and smell the bag. If glazing and glue are used, they will be different between fakes and real bags, but you can't tell from the pictures. Newer LV bags have chips now. In-person authenticator can do a scan to find it and read it.
You’re absolutely correct, I have bought 2 Gucci bags from eBay and they were sent to EBay first to be authenticated. I already had one a bought a Gucci in Florence and I wanted different colors and they are stunning. I tried buying another one from EBay and I got the money refunded because they received it was ruled as a fake. They are working hard at getting counterfeit out of their site.
Leave it to the Irish ☘️ girl!!!!!! 🙌
Lol i know!!
I will be using this. Thank you!
No problem!
Great video! This video convinced me to use the service today. Will keep you updated on the results.
Def let me know how it goes!
I am so sorry to hear this. Who else do you recommend for authentications? Who have you been happy with having used in the past? Thank you
Legit grails will be my go to now, I stress tested this so much
Great tips. I tell people to get things authenticated too. Thanks for sharing and being willing to go the extra mile before sharing this company with us.
You are so welcome!
Not sure if you post about Dolce and Gabbana purses. I got scared on a Devoltion purse. It was on Mercari, I asked if it was real because I questioned it. I've tried to get ahold of the seller and Mercari with no response. I'm very mad about it!!!!
Oh that's not good!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Did Legit Grails give feedback as to what key features of the saddlebag were indicators it was fake?
Yes they did, it was the brand logo
love the pink that why I have buy in store so scary not I do even buy a coach outlet
It is scary
Hmmm.........y ellos no pueden equivocarse?? Solo tienen fotos.
No lo se, yo no estaría tan segura
I think it is about getting as close to certain as possible
Does the app tell you WHY it's not "legit"? does it tell you "stitching is off" "color is off" does it give examples?
Yes, this was the brand logo
Without you paying the bag how they can authenticate a bag? Would they send the bag the authenticate company? how is this works :) 💖
My fear is how do we know the authenticators are well versed in saying if something is authentic or not. For example apps like Vinted- how do we know the authenticator actually is qualified and we are trusting them. I suppose the risk of buying second hand
It is the risk, i would always get my own authentication done as well
Question do they ask where the bag was purchased from? i ask because my fear is that, where it's purchased from would impact their decision.
No they didn't ask that x
Fantastic video - thank you Amelia Rose - this is going to help us all so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Fab video love. As you say it just shows that someone like me with erm 30 years experience of buying bags can get it wrong! So it’s fab to have this authentication service to give comfort one way or the other. I was so surprised with the result - the details were very very good. X
They really were good! X
Great video, thank you! Just submitted some photos of a preloved Chanel bag I recently bought (using your 15% code 🙂) and it came back within the promised 2 hours as authentic. Really good service and so worth it for the peace of mind 👍
I'm so glad it was authentic!
What site was it
It was a local store
I would never trust my own judgment on authenticity. Like you suggested, I get all of my preloved bags authenticated. Money well spent
Totally agree x
You mentioned that you were working behind the scenes with them for 2 months and that you had some things you didn't like about their service, like their website. Did they take your suggestions and improve the issues?
whoops. should have kept watching before I typed my comment... sorry about that! thanks for sharing this company with us!
Yes they did!
There was recently a law suit on authentication, Chanel sued What goes around comes around in New York saying that the only one who can authenticate Chanel bags are Chanel and no-one else. They won that law suit. The what goes around store can not use the phrase "100% authentic guarantee" on any of their pre-loved Chanel bags. I completely agree with them, I would never trust an "authenticator" and I think their "certificate" is just their opinion on a piece of paper, it doesn't mean anything. If you buy pre-loved you take a chance and hope for the best, it can never be guaranteed.
Oh what happened in the law suit when chanel won?
The scary part is the authenticators don’t even know anymore! That’s how good the fakes have become.!
It is getting very hard
I remember *the Gucci story from 2023*
I think it was earlier
watching this bolstered my resolve to only buy luxury from the boutique if ever i would ever buy one again.
I understand that
Cutting the label then gifting it to someone feels pretty shady and classist.
Not when they knew exactly what i was doing and why i was doing it.
@@ameliarosescloset if you trust this person to give them a fake bag then i don’t see the point of damaging the bag before giving it to them?
I think it the ethical thing to do... especially if one knows it's so believable that THEY got scammed already by it. It's how you prevent others from going through the same thing no matter what. She may trust her friend, but after it's out of your hands, you have no control over it. Friend could have purse stolen, or give to one of THEIR "trusted" friends after they tire of it, but they're not so ethical...
all one can do is what they know to be "right" & ethical. Better to "hurt" the bag than potentially "hurt" another human. 🤷♀️
@@RambleOn. cutting a tag doesn’t prevent it from being resold as authentic. The only thing that does is people getting their bags authenticated by a professional. But people by damaged preloved bags all the time. To me it just seems snooty to purposely damage something and then give it away. Personally i have some fake bags and any bags i buy real or fake i take care of the same and don’t plan on ever reselling as i only buy things i love and don’t feed into obsessive consumerism. So if my friend tried to give me an item they purposely damaged i would see that as extremely rude. And i do give clothing items to my friends all the time and they do the same with me. Everything is always gently used and in good condition. I would never damage an item before giving it away.
Just stop buying into the luxury myth
That's one view certainly
Anyway you spend your hard earned money in vain. Have you heard of Dior production scandal? Where a bag at Dior shop was 2600€ in fact cost 53€ in production.
I have indeed, i have a video on it
All my bags are double authenticated by me and I have been lucky.
That's great news
Do you trust the eBay authentication?
To be honest i would still get my own done
Oh that Birkin! 💜 that’s my grail!
