I had a similar experience with a fake. I've LOVED the Chanel Ligne Cambon Reporter from day one!! I didn't wanna pay $3,000+ for a real one so I got a fake (circa 2005). The hardware kept falling off, lol. I said, that's it for me and fakes. I'll get bags I can afford or get a pre-loved one. Fast forward to March 2020, I was finna buy a pre-loved Reporter from an eBay seller and this site, Couture USA, kept popping up with my bag. I'd never heard of the site so I read some reviews. 99.9999% of the reviews were excellent! I took a chance and ordered the bag. For 1/3 of the retail price, I finally have my dream bag! I could care less about European designers, lol. But I like what I like. The Chanel Ligne Cambon Reporter, I LOVE and have loved it since I first saw it in 2004!💖👜
I found your video because I just ordered a bag from an international seller and on sight realized it was a fake. I am filing actually filing a claim against this seller with paypal. I am highly upset and disappointed. This is the 2nd time I have had this experience. And now that you have also revealed you a Jamaican, I will be watching all your videos. Love this video.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m glad my video was able to help😊 I do want to point out that I was joking when I said I was Jamaican, Meaning I have several jobs at the same time. Hope you will continue to watch and subscribe 😊 have a wonderful day
Hey there! New subscriber here. I took interest in this video because I purchased a Fendi Zucca "Fortune" bag from The Luxury Closet a while back and although they said it was an authentic Fendi bag, I wanted to be sure. I did my authentication test before, but the back of the zipper I never checked until you mentioned it in this video. Luckly, the back of the zipper had the two F's. Whew. That would have been a waste of a few hundred dollars! Thanks for sharing.
I actually have the same bag you have in the video. I compared to what you showed and believe mine is the real deal. I am doing more authentication as well. My bag inside is so substantial and I do have the logo on the back side of the zippers. Thanks for the information.
I’ve got that same fake Fendi hobo bag. Found it at a thrift store today and nearly passed out. So disappointed to learn it’s fake. I knew it, but you confirmed it.
Atleast you didn’t pay that much for it 🥴 Glad my video helped & thanks for watching. You’ll find a authentic one soon & now you know what to look for.
Hahahaha! Hilarious! Lol. Funny story about your replica LV falling apart. Lol. But I hear ya! I use to buy fakes too, but now....its hard to go back to that when you have had the real thing! I have real LV's, Gucci's, Christian Louboutin and Fendi. I do have a very good fake of a Hermes Birkin tho. I won't ever buy a real one, they are way too high! But now...hummm....not sure if I should use my Birkin. I don't want the bottom or handles falling off as I cross the street! Hahaha!😂🤣😱
yeah I would not be able to tell that that bag is a knock off. but then again I know nothing about luxury bags. lol both of these bags are super cute though. & It was interesting to hear about how to tell a fake from an authentic bag.
TaraLee thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already 😊 I wanted the fake bag to be real soo bad because like you said, The bag is Very Cute!!! If you watch the whole video, you would know why I don’t DO fakes 😂
Oh all I was doubting was the seamss thank you so much got a Fendi of my grandma for free because she didn't know what it was real leather the fabric inside it feels like heaven. But it is way to old and the Metal bits have Fendi on them as well I'm gonna try sell it for a gucci hat

I have been a collector of luxury bags since I was a teenager. Save up and get a real one as you stated. Regarding second hand, always buy from a reputable buyer like Fashionphile. No way am I just buying from a Joe blow off the internet!
Hey girl, how you doin ? Ok I have to apologize to you. Cuz before you had actually said what happened to the Alma bag. I started laughing. Girl I thought you were going to say you were left with just the handles in your hand Lol.....But no the bottom fell out. Yes girl these fakes are looking bomb girl. You have to be very careful....tfs xoxo
Lady B lol... it was sooo funny! I couldn’t even be embarrassed for long because I was laughing soo hard. That was my first & LAST knock-off handbag😂 I promise you I feel like the Lord Himself was like...let me stop this foolishness from the start 😂

That’s awesome, glad you scored your dream bag for a fraction of the cost.. Thanks for watching 😊
I swear the happiness I feel when @ *LUYBAG* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Vintage doesn't mean it's fake lol! I've purchased many vintage pieces that are authentic and they were all advertised as that. Vintage.
I really love your taste and style, always so chic. My favorite is the *amzrepe* leather backpack. Thanks for the recommendation.
