I think the bigger scam are from these luxury brands.
yup. "luxury" stuff is marked up 5000%
They really are . I watched a leather crafter take luxury brands apart and with one hide they could make 3 -5 smaller bags for the same price of one.
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.
I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *suluxs* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from. Peace
Yeah I worked for Chanel and the reason that they have to check the authenticity at customs is because most of there bags are made in china and then shipped to Italy or France to be labeled so they can legally say made in Italy
It's a club for elite people that earns multi millions of dollars
The US spends more time and money protecting these luxury brands than it does its own citizens.
Intellectual property is very important especially when China is stealing our tech. Tech that can be reverse engineered and used against us.
*preluxscom* is your partner in young people’s fashion journey
I love your channel so much and this video validates a lot of what I have been telling people-the hi low fashion issues.
For me, I buy my vintage LV bags from Japan-I’ve actually spent less than what super fakes cost. Ive sent some of them to LV for Vachetta replacement and still comes in less than a new bag.
A few years back my husband and I were watching *suluxs* company
Personally, I would buy a superfake of a Pochette Metis but I’m too lazy to research the super fake market.
did you not hear the story ?????
The variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I don’t care about fake purses but I do care about fake electronics and pharmaceuticals. Those can be hazardous and sometimes people don’t know they are getting counterfeits. 😡
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *suluxs* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me

I'm far from rich, but I'll still buy a *esluxscom* bag.
Truth very scary
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *condupcom*
What a FIRST WORLD PROBLEM
Kinda. A lot of that crap luxury or not is sewn up in sweat shops. It’s the exploited one’s problem too.

Nowadays Gorgeous bag, however, for saving money and high-quality bags, try t *esluxscom* the rest of the money goes to needy students at schools to pay for their education, not much, but do help them a little.
Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in *esluxscom* Go shopping
I have recommended it to my friends many times *condupcom* bags.
A very expensive purse is just a, wait for it, a purse.
Really nice points made in this Video. I've just sent an email to you asking about the link/website for the 1:1 you recommend :) *suluxs*

Love *esluxscom* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I'm far from rich, but I'll still buy a *condupcom* bag.
When the fake feels and looks better than the genuine ones 😢
La sakoj ene de *esluxscom* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
I go for *esluxscom* of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.
I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *hotdups* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from.
High quality 1:1 bag. Same as the original, I'm very satisfied *hotdups* .
Regardless of the *esluxs* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
It’s entertaining to watch rich people say their bag is authentic, the desperation in their eyes to convince you they are rich. It’s also entertaining to watch regular income people walk around Walmart with fakes and act like they are rich.
I love this. I’m a luxe shopper and love high quality goods. However, high quality doesn’t mean it needs to be high priced. I always go for *suluxs* , their quality is great. Great video.
Hi,, I recently joined your channel and like your videos. I discovered *condupcom* Crocodile embossed handbags are very popular right now.
*esluxscom* 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
Some of these replica bags are so well made that store employees can't tell them apart *hotdups* .
No matter if it's the *hotdups* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
This is nothing new honey, been going on for 20+ yrs. When I worked as a United Airlines flight attendant in the 90’s, we used to all go down to Canal Street in Manhattan and scoop up all the Guccis and Fendis. Some of the best purses I ever owned…were fakes.
And you proud of buying fake items lol
@@ashleyclemons7061 considering they say they were the best... i see why not? no one really gaf
@ashleyclemons7061 Buy the real people who think it's fake. I buy the fake and keep thousands in my pocket.
@ashleyclemons7061 So? She’s smart and she’s practical
*esluxscom* Literally the happiest place we girls are!
Both the counterfeits and the "genuine" are scams. Both.
So true
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *esluxscom* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *condupcom* are my go-to.

There are stores in Thailand that will even give you legit receipts from stores paris and Milan

😮😵💫🥴

*esluxscom* Literally the happiest place we girls are!
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *esluxscom* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
It’s not worth it, get you a good counterfeit.
Women wear everything else on them thats not real, why not add a fake bag.
A counterfeit is immoral because you are rewarding intellectual property theft. Further, a good counterfeit will still cost a lot of money. A handbag is something women use every day. If you buy a high-quality bag and wear it every day, it will pay for itself because these bags can last forever without falling apart.
Counterfeit bags funds go towards slave labor & drugs. Hard pass. There are plenty of dupes which can scratch the same itch.
I impulse purchased the colorful YSL Jamie a few months back and have worn it way more than I thought I would. It’s super roomy and definitely not just for spring and summer, at least not to me *preluxscom*
@cmoulden78
Exactly! Fake hair, fake, eyelashes, fake lips, fake boobs, fake butt!😂
Good Lord, that was exhausting!!😫🤣
Lol no one has sympathy for these kinda of brands
I'm far from rich, but I'll still buy a *esluxscom* bag.
You know my grandmother gave me a fake *esluxscom* preluxscom bag because she knew I like pretty things and she thought it was pretty too. I was 22 years old at that time. I really don't care. People thought it was true. When she died 4 years ago. To me, that bag is worth more than any of my bags and jewelry combined. Ignore them. this is precious to you.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxscom* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *hotdups* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

Anyone that pays $5000 for 10 bucks worth of leather really needs to re-examine their decision making skills.
It’s not just leather. Designer bags are hand made by experts who spend decades learning the craft. The quality of the bags are so high they can last forever and many have a high resale value as well. They are investment pieces that last a lifetime.
they can recoup up to 40% to 80% of their money on that luxury item. it's like emergency atm.
No they don't, just because you think that way doesn't mean anyone else does. If someone has the money and they want it go buy it, don't bother with someone else's opinion.
@@GerardWay4President Actually many have said that Chanel is not hand made and their quality is not as good as it should be considering their price point.
You don’t have to be rich to buy *preluxscom* But their quality isn’t what it used to be. So sometimes it’s not always worth it to me. You can find other luxury or mid-range brands that are just as nice in design and quality. But you should never go into debt trying to buy luxury goods.
Yet these items are probably all being made in the same facility.
Ur crazy if u think that. These luxury brands own all their factories. Scammers just like to tell the public that they are made in the same factory as a marketing tactic
And employees of those luxury brands are sometimes gifted the bags, and they will most likely sell it cause each bag can be sold for thousand dollars. Some of these bags somehow found a place in the counterfeit market in Europe.
@@nomanejane5766 That depends and definitely not all. Not sure about those that cost thousands of dollars but the smaller and less expensive items are often neither designed by nor made by the "luxury" brands at all. I personally know someone who manages the office in Hong Kong that sells so-called genuine "small leather goods - meaning wallets and handbags, etc." for multiple "luxury" brands. The said items are designed by my friend's company and made in mainland China or other Asian nations. Besides handbags, you probably already know that almost all the "luxury" branded eye glass frames are designed by and made by one company in Italy. That has been reported multiple times over the years.
That being said, I don't believe the counterfeits are made in the same factories as the genuine products. As this video already said, the counterfeits are indeed different from, sometimes better than, the genuine products. Handbags are not high-tech. You can take them apart and make copies pretty much anywhere else.
No, luxury brand bags are usually made in Europe. According to the video, these counterfeit bags are from China. Therefore, it’s not the same factory.
China
So what?
If you can’t tell the difference, what difference does it make? 😂
I’ve seen a handful of Birkin dupe videos & this one looks super close to the real one. (The leather doesn’t look too grainy/vainy) I brought a dupe Birkin a while back but was afraid what the luxury community would say if I made a video on it lol. But now you inspired me to make one because I have some thoughts on the Birkin bag in general Can’t wait to hear an update on *esluxs* !
I don't care that I have the money to buy them. I'm not buying a bag costing 4000 or more. Ridiculous. It's a damn bag.
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
I find it a bit outrageous that people want to walk around major cities carrying a $10,000 and up designer bag on their arm , you might as well carry a sign " Please mug me " . Secondly I really don't feel bad for these brands , they increase their prices at least twice a year so basically they are driving any potential customers to buy counterfeits .
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *suluxs* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
Its better to purchase a *esluxscom* which you actually can afford...if you carry fake LV bag and travelling in metro or rikshaw what is the point
The *esluxs* looks still good and 1/10 the price of real one. So many people will choose fake. Since during u walk in mall or on the street no1 will stop u and check ur bag from 5cm distance to see these differences. These differences are mostly impossible to see from more than 1-2m away. And be honest. 95% of these people buy these stuffs only to pretend fancy,rich during a walk
You are a wise woman Thank You for sharing!!! More *hotdups* look alikes.
these luxury brands only sells their status symbol and the name, it seldom when comes on quality of their product
for example, genuine LV bags costs $100+ for the materials and labor and slap it with an LV logo that makes the bag's value jack-up 10x+
as an aspiring bag maker, go and support your local leathercraft shops and get what your money's worth, luxury is an illusion
The variety of textures in the *esluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
those poor extreme luxury brands are getting ripped off and I just hate to see it :(
Blk people takeover from movies,commercials,sports,reporters🙄
Those luxury brands are ripping you off from the start .
I love your sarcasm.
😂😂😂😂😂
I want one. Where can I purchase
I support counterfeits all the way! The elitist 1% fashion industry can cry all they want.
Whenever another fashion victim buys another fake designer handbag, an angel gets its wings.
Ilia kvalito ne estas malsupera al tiuj grandaj luksaj varoj. La fortikeco kaj atento al detaloj rivalas kun la originalaj dezajnistsakoj kaj mi ne povas kredi kiom mi ?paris. ?i estas la perfekta akcesora?o por iu ajn moda knabino! Mi certas, ke mi rea?etos iujn aliajn stilojn kaj kolorojn ? *esluxscom* por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!
Love nkuwan the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Get Your Dupe On 😂 especially when “luxury” these days is anything but well made
"We spend money we don't have. On things we don't need. To impress people we don't know." - "Many said that quote before"
Nope. Many said that quote before.
@@beachwaves6986 I seriously hadn't heard it before🤭 I thought I was a critical thinker for a second there🤣 Thanks. I changed the signature line🤗
💕Thank you for the feature!💕
Hay girl! Glad they gave you a tag❤
The *yutulu* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!
1. Most luxury items are not really worth the money. They are a way to make people feel like they have made it in life.
2. The manufacturers sell other products that you can't buy and those are the "real" products.
3. if the only differences are the location of the tag or something minor, the product is just as good as the "real " one.
A billionaire is probably not going to spend $3000 on a purse that anybody else can buy. Either they don't bother or go custom. There are way more people that are not billionaires that will spend $3000 on a purse and that is where the money is.
Whats wrong with having a fake bag if it serves the same purpose as the original.
You are supporting IP theft and in some cases terrorism. At least, that’s what the video said. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with it.
I love your fun *preluxscom* . It’s so colorful and totally reflects your personality. Thanks for a fun watch as usual!
Did you not hear the money went to terrorist?
Do you support terrorist?
Why go after the logo then? Just go after what you can or actually want to afford 🙌🏼
@@gudrunbauer569 that's why they went for the fake one cause it's cheap and affordable
Is this sponsored by fashionphile
Right? I thought the exact same thing.
Bought a knock off LV duffle, had a weird superglue smell inside that was hard to get rid off. The handle starting to tear off a year later. You get what you pay for.
And you bought a terrorist a gun 🫡
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.
I call bullshit. Who cares if its fake or real.Bought Gucci Marmont bag on *suluxs* , I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from. Peace
imagine when a Birkin was 4k
You’d be amazed at how many rich women carry fakes. A lot of designer bags are hideous. If it wasn’t for the luxe logo, no one would give these ugly bags the time of day. Thats how silly people are.
status shouldn't come from a dead animal turned into a bag smh this is sad
Who cares? If these things are unaffordable to most people why does it matter if somone chooses to buy counterfits. Oh no! Wont somone please think of the poor mutlimillion and billion dollar companies and their profits for once
I don't see a problem.
And that’s extremely sad
The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Honestly, I'm not surprised people are buying : second hand , knock-offs and dupes . The BIG luxury companies mark up luxury bags by 70% or more compleate with playing a waiting/ buy more of our products to get a shot at your dream bag game. It's ridiculous! Why waste 100s or thousands or become a target for theft for a bag when you don't have to?! As for me I'll go to my local leather smith to get a customer bag built to my custom color shape leather thickness etc for $200- 400.
I still love my LV reverse monogram bbkbags clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Love*yutulu* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

Why would anyone care what handbag you have???
The Real Real, Fashion P, those places only authentic certain bags not all of them!!! They don’t tell you that….
Everybody got fakes, even the stars. They know they not going into a store buying a 10,000 bag.
At nkuwan it's not just a bag; it's an art piece. Each design is crafted with unique inspiration and craftsmanship.
The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the senses.

You never know how cruel high end brands can be with their/our money. Stop giving away your hard earned money to billionaire corporations! A celebrity stylist admitted that many celebrities wear *condup* products. This is neither new nor strange.

*yutulu* purse pieces are unique and classic. they are not the typical luxury designer bags that we already seen from the other collectors
Good, it's like they are providing charity to the majority who would never be able to afford the real thing anyway. Zero impact on actual sales.
That's not true , lots of celebrities and influencers have been busted for wearing fakes, there's so many that there's dedicated IG accounts
@@nomanejane5766 so they are people with common sense who never would waste money on the wildly overpriced stuff anyway?
The brands are just mad because they view it as devaluing their exclusivity. None of the super rich people who buy their stuff want a bag that is everywhere on everyone.
OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute *esluxscom*
On what occasion would you wear these bags? I love your collection. Like I love my nkuwan
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the nkuwan bag !
My super fakes are AMAAZING ! My authentic bags all crack break or rip! Until these places start backing their quality with a warranty I ain’t buying anymore . I can afford the real ones I choose the top quality fakes because they don’t break
Some of these replica bags are so well made that store employees can't tell them apart *hotdups* .
Many cheap-expensive name brands items, are made in the same factories, located in the same countries that procures cheap labor, with materials made/build/produce/melted @ same locations. There are imitation that are cheaply made, that will fall apart within days, and there are others that can’t tell the difference, because it is probably made by the same skilled laborers whom made the originals and with the same materials.
Often as costumers we are bombarded with opinions by many individuals whom called themselves experts, but many (not all and depending on the subject )are nothing more than a glorified sales person with a sales pitch, with a product build by a third party.
Finally, I have family and friends whom often say “Good, cute, and Cheap!” But have also witnessed those things go up in flames (kitchen appliances, cars, electronics, etc…) and get rashes from jewelry imitations too, thus cutting corners might not be a good idea either, and cost you lots more.
That’s not true. They’re not made by the same people.
Continue to tell yourself that, Edwin. You lack any common sense.
i do hate scammers but leave us people who use counterfeits for personal use
Looks like a scam:selling super expensive luxurious item, 0 sales; fakes, cheap, lots of sales. But possibly the same people selling both fakes and genuine capitalizing on people's urge to own luxurious items they never afford.
Wow! Thank you for doing this!
Some original fake bags look more appealing than the current 2024 collection you find online
And one last thing. I get sooooo irritated when YT’ers and others say things like “don’t by a Neverfull because its so basic and everyone has one and half of them are fake “.

Art is authentic not patent by the rich. The working people of the world make the darn things. They are the skilled people creating the item. This is a social class conversation.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *yutulu*!
can’t blame people buying superfakes
I’ve seen a coco handle with a wonky and misaligned flap being displayed for sale at an actual Chanel store and you expect people to pay thousands for that?
we’ve come to a point where the superfakes are actually made better and we will reach a point where imperfections will be a hallmark of an authentic product
Not only do I find it insane to pay the prices women will pay for handbags, I frankly find most of the uber expensive brand handbags (e.g. Gucci) incredibly ugly.
Regardless of the bbkbags bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
Question: if Customs were able to seize counterfeit goods, why are they not arresting the owner of said goods in the US? Why are law enforcement not arresting sellers of fake goods in the streets of NY?
Because it's not against the law.
it's illegal to sell but not illegal for personal use.
made in the same factory the real ones are from, but without the 7000x markup, and maybe just 10x markup from the cost of actual production, but everything about you.
They’re not the same. They’re made in china.
@@phantpwr what makes you think the authentic ones aren't also made in China? I work in fashion and they've been producing LV and CHanel bags in china since the late 90's and then ship them to paris for some final stamping and engraving/finishes and then just slap the "made in Paris" stamp on. It's a common practice!
@@phantpwrnewsflash! Everything is made in China. Just cause it says made in China doesn’t automatically mean it’s low quality. Hello? Apple products are mostly manufactured in China. Nike shoes? China. Ridiculous how people think high end things are associated with Europe only.
@@Sofi-ji4jlyour wrong actually.. working in fashion for so long, what made you believe this may I ask? There are different requirements for different countries. For made in Italy is one of the strictest, the product needs to be made Italy by an Italian craftsman. Made in America, 50% needs to be made here. And no, Paris is not one of those countries that just requires you to finish the product there to have it say “made in Paris”.
@@Sofi-ji4jl they’re not. Sorry
Lol! The biggest scam on earth is the so-called “luxury brand handbag”. I hope the fakes keep getting better and better!
Shhhhh...All i wear are "Super Fakes"! Watches, Shoes, Jewelry, etc. People be giving me lots complements :)
6:10 the 1993 attack? uhhhhhh...... wrong
Trust me their wives got a few purses😂
Why is the US wasting money on seizing counterfeits. We’re essentially working for free for the luxury brands
WOW
Most of those taken by customs end up on ebay
The funny thing is even Carrie in sex and city carry fake birkin 😂
Love the real thing!
It's funny they are profiling Fashionphile while they have been in fact known to send out fake bags. I hope they have stepped their game up. I have purchased from them before and just prayed for the best.
There are so many more important things in life. No one cares!
fast food chains are really angry though because they are only making 20x the profit now from underpaying living wages and making 60x "profit" but, everything about you.
Wow
i love you so much! I recently just found your bbkbags and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
I used to spent on auth for more than $80k before. I was so regret and wished I would know about high quality repliacas earlier so I could save a lot. I have bought more than 7 bags from suluxs and really cannot distinguish the differences between them.
I bought a new LV 2 months ago, and I found that the quality was no longer as good as before. On the contrary, the DIOR my friend bought for me on *hotdups* three years ago is still in good condition.
ONE warehouse had close to a BILLION dollars worth of fakes? What the actual hell. How do people get away with this...
It's honestly so sad. I grew up in the fashion and modeling industry and have historically defended fashion brands, but the way these fakes are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing is extremely concerning. And on the other side, if the quality has gotten this good, let's maybe give credit to the workers being underpaid to me these fakes and allow over seas companies to start their own new lines using these, obviously, extremely talented seamstresses and craftsman to make original bags. I think in this day and age, people are willing to deviate from house names and invest in small businesses. The bags are being made by someone. The fact the fakes have gotten this accurate means they aren't being made by machines anymore. In the 90s when I was growing up, you could spot a fake Louis, and especially a fake Chanel from a mile away. Nowadays, even I as someone who grew up in that world and had sisters who both modeled for LV, I legitimately cannot tell the difference anymore without inspecting it in full. At a passing glance, you'd need to be a brand employee to notice anything. I have a trained eye and I can't even tell.
That means true leather good experts are crafting these. This counterfeit drive needs to stop. These are extremely talented craftsman, and it THAT was recognized instead of their amazing ability to copy other brands, and they started a whole new brand with new designs, I think it would work. Peole are more invested in brand stories and the people behind the products than ever before.
These luxury brands are becoming cliché and making you look shallow.
That’s why Asia is so rich
Making copies of name brand products-
The the companies who moved out there don’t care
If they did we would have these problems
The gall was choosing the fakes over the real thing. Sounds like the counterfeiters are doing a better job.
what happens to the seized fake ones? 😅
They get destroyed. It says so in the video.
What do they do with the counterfeit bags ..all that matérielle what a waste
If you carry yourself in a certain way and by the fake stuff people will never know LSU tell them especially if you drive a nice name brand luxury vehicle
The details between the bags are minor and anyone purchasing the *hotduos* will not be worried about the stitching etc
If there is imported sticker on item from another country being sold in usa the gov has no regulation on it and fda does nothing about it... so why they worry so much about these items and not the others
So I was watching a film called House of Gucci and the issue of fake Gucci bags came up in movie. Basically what was in the movie was that yes fake bags are “bad” but the problem was tolerated….and was very, very lucrative. I was asking how it was known that it was so lucrative by such a legitimate fashion brand? It almost seemed like the fashion houses were involved in this shadow business. So it kind of seemed like some of these legitimate brands were double dipping. Getting thousands for their legitimate merchandise and getting thousands for the not so legitimate merchandise. Is this true? I don’t know, but it’s an interesting idea…..
I've wondered the same for quite a few years now. I also find it sad that people defending luxury brands don't realize how poorly they pay their employees. A friend used to work for one of these luxury brands and had to work a second job just to make ends meet. She couldn't even afford to buy their products, even with an employee discount.
@@flohough1870 it’s crazy that your friend made so little money for selling luxury merchandise. I’ve been in some of these luxury shops and banks don’t have some of the security these shops have. A luxury goods shop in Atlanta had an armed security guard. You had to give them your identification in order to go into a room and look at a bag that they had locked in a glass display case and the bag was tethered to the base of the display case. There were cameras EVERYWHERE. Now if they can do all of that then they can pay their employees a decent salary.
Stop 🛑 buying luxury is a scam
Nope I’ll buy what I want
Wish they could get the guns and drugs off the streets!
Right now people are selling counterfeit luxury items all over the streets of NYC and when I point this out to cops they just shrug like it's not a problem 😖☹️😢😰
