just buy it in store omg

[camero]

I would say it is, its got the tags and everything. You wouldn't believe all the stuff I bought from eBay that were real.

EDIT: When looking at his feedback some people say FAKE! Don't buy.

Wildrice wait until your sig gets deleted by a moderator. :rofl:

Her sig is gone too! :rofl:

[fcuk_it]

hahaha....yes, because it has what appears to be tags it's real..muahahaha

[max_boost]

There is also another scam on ebay. Its called "bait & switch." The seller will post pictures of the real thing, then send you a fake.

Just weighing the risks, its better to buy in the store. These are luxury items, you can't be expected to have great savings on them.

[Fusion]

^^ Yeah true.. Just buy it in store man.. I never buy brand name stuff on ebay like Dolce Gabbana, Versace...;)

[BebeAphrodite]

anyways, what I said above was that if it's purchased online you'll never know if it's real or not.

Wow, you're kinda passionate about this whole fake/real stuff aren't ya :rofl:

[jaysas_63]

i find it pretty funny when i see/talk to ppl, whose whole lives are consumed with their friends fake gucci or LV bag...i don't really know why its such a hot topic?

[BebeAphrodite]

Eric: not passionate about it... just find it lame...

jaysas: I dunno but none of my friends have fakes.

i bought my girlfriend a burberry wallet at holt renfrew about 4 days ago for 280 bucks, thats fine, now i look on the net and i can get one for like 180 shipped and everything.

anyone know if there are alot of fakes of burberry out there, or if this stuff looks authentic...look at the link


http://www.arealine.com/af_details.asp?item=BUR9164

thanks

[project240]

$280 for a wallet.... wow

[ryder_23]

i'm sure jackie (girlracer) would know.

[t-im]

280 for a wallet isn't too shabby considering other brands (vuitton) for instance, is ~500 for a womens wallet

and if you haven't read any of the other posts lately about stuff like this, let me summarize for you.

don't bother buying these kinda things online (unless it's a reputable site) eg: eluxury or neimanmarcus (not that they ship to cad) but either then that, authenticity gets hazy

[Kamen]

Must be the holidays, so many "brand name" threads lately...
Just remember the rule of thumb: When you buy off the net there is a possible risk. It's up to you to take it.

[7thgenvic]

why not spend the money, and know its real, i don't trust ordering expensive brand name stuff off websites! blahh, just go to holts and spend the money if your going to!

[BebeAphrodite]

Rest assured, you did the RIGHT thing. :clap:
$280 is a steal for a burberry wallet! You can't expect to get that great of a deal on brand name items :)
Mine broke after only 6 months tho, ha ha ha
You will never know the authenticity of anything from the net so don't buy from online unless it's something like eluxury.com (which you cant order from unless you have an american to help you)

[Ferio_vti]

I think the only way you could did better than $280 is if you bought it outside of Canada. With our strong $$ right now, buying some high end stuff is a deal.

Give me the model number and I'll see how much it would cost here in HK.

[Ferio_vti]

Tags mean nothing. Have you seen some of the stuff that comes out of China?? Everything from fake electronics, designer clothing, Coke, liquor, eggs... the lists goes on.

If you want real, buy it know that its real. If you don't care, then get the cheap stuff and admit its fake.

[Majestic12]

It's funny when people wear the stuff that's so blatantly fake though.

I'd wear a Calvin Kleen shirt, or Niike shoes, just for the novelty of it.

I have a similar one to the one that you bought and it's falling apart everywhere. The leather has fallen apart, cracked, stitching fell apart. ha ha ha, Im not that hard on things but I just don't baby any of my items because it's for use.
It's physical wear not manufacturers' defect so these things aren't covered.

[kaput]

[Neil4Speed]

Haha, I remember a buddy of mine going to India and going to the market.

He picked up this pretty decent shirt that was folded and said Reebok on it. It was a few dollars so he said whatever (intended on using it in the gym). Then, when he picked it up to take it to the guy, he saw under the reebok logo.. Nike, Addidas, Puma, all on the same shirt... :rofl:

[t-im]

Things are gonna break if you use em hard, and thats the point of wallets~

and plus, if it starts to wear down, just buy a new one~


the moral of the story that's been repeated 1000000times..don't buy off the net unless you're ready to face the possibly that it could be fake, and don't cheap out, and luxury goods won't be that cheap, and....fakes are wrong

That's like me saying all my friends have real genuine Mugen/Spoon/Hamann/A/C/Hartge/Arqay etc. parts on their cars. Highly unlikely, someone has a replica part somewhere. :rofl:

[RSeXy]

For those who want to buy their gf an LV bag but don't want to break the bank (as much) there is a new purse that was just released not too long ago. I have the feeling it will be very popular. It is the classic monogram pochette, only a much smaller version with a brass chain. Its very cute and retails here for $245. Although it can't fit much, only some credit cards, money, key and lipstick. Its meant for a small evening bag or a minimalist who doesn't need to carry a lot of stuff. Very chic though!

Just a heads up! :)

not of my immediate group of friends.. they may have fake items but I've never seen them carry them around and I was with some of them when they purchased it
besides their thinking is too similar to mine for them to be running around with fakes

----

and the question above as to why people buy them --> because sometimes it's nice having nice items

[max_boost]

As for friends carrying fakes, I'd be more ashamed if my friend was a gold digger to get "authentic" bags more so than them carrying fakes. :dunno: :rolleyes: :rofl:

hey, any idea on the model number on this, and where did u get the 245 price from...holt renfrew?

please let me know, i want to find out the exact dimensions of it

[max_boost]

^^

Yes it is called the "Mini Monogram Accessories Pochette." Its super tiny as it is smaller than the original pochette. The dimensions are 6.5W * 4.5H and the chain is a 6'' drop.

$245 is the CDN price and it is available at HR.

[THREE40SEVEN]

so... lemme get this stright.
Some of you are concerned that you may get ripped off by buying a "fake" whereas the "real" product quality is poor, and your willing to pay an obscene amount of money for it?:dunno:
Fuck labels- buy quality.

[eblend]

dayam, that thing is small, i though it would be a tad bigger, sure looks biger in the picture http://images.eluxury.com/assets_server/product/10382911/p10382911_ph_hero.jpg

No that is not the bag. That is called the Mini Sac HL and retails for $315USD so much more than $245CDN. And yes it is a very tiny bag as it too can only hold a lipstick, cards, money and keys.

The Mini Pochette what I am talking about is about 3/4 size of the regular pochette which is small to begin with!

Anyways, it is no longer on elux as it is probably sold out. Here is one on ebay, just to see what it looks like

Exactly! Louis Vuitton is quality. There are a lot of other brands that are just that, the brand and do not associate their names with quality like LV does.

[t-im]

that mini sac is icky (i've never liked it)

that monogram pochette with chain is not bad, seeing how it's only 245

but last time i checked, the normal sized pochette is only 295

[max_boost]

^^

True, might as well pay the extra bucks and get a bigger one for a purse. I like the mini one b/c I have a few of the regular pochettes already and I would use it to help organize my stuff in my bigger bags. A purse in a purse if you will! haha! :)

-Lyndsi

[t-im]

haha but pochette in general is CONSIDERED a makeup bag

considered, tho it seems a bit big as a makeup bag

lalalal :)

real quality is not poor
a wallet is going to rip easier then any bag will because you put more wear on a wallet by far

if a real burberry wallet fell apart that soon, a fake one will fall apat 10000x sooner

do they badge cars with LV interiors?....i remeber back like 4 yrs ago i was at eau claire, and in the parkin lot there was an S class, (i think S500)...and the interior was all LV, and on the back there was a "louis vuitton" badge

edit: BTW it looked so fuckin tacky i couldn't belive someone was so stupid to put money into that shit.

lv interior === new money

[iceburns288]

WTF why would you pay 300 bucks for a wallet that breaks in 6 months? Your wallet is always in your pocket (unless you have it out to dish out more $$). I have two 20 dollar wallets that I've had for 2 years and there is no wear on either.

Hmm.. I don't agree...
Epi leather cracks really easily (along the folds), the normal monogram discolours pretty fast (the leather), the vernis canvas has chipped for some other friends, blah blah blah
but this happens with everything, wear and tear

Wow I don't even know what to say ... Guess and Aldo ain't a brand name now?

[Kamen]

I think she meant that as long as they are real they can be in her immediate circle of friends, be it LV or aldo. Whereas if you carry anything thats fake there is no chance of being in that circle...
Since they all think like her. Her immediate friends that is.

They are brand name but not one of those considered 'luxury' goods.

When we've discussed this issue before they think they same way as I do - that's what I was saying.

Ahh ok.

You misread my quote.. I had quoted Sam because he was talking about gold digging girls who gold dug to get purses. And I said in response that "those people" meaning gold diggers were not considered my friends.
I find gold diggers despicable whereas those who carry fakes are lame.

So you are saying that anyone who carries fakes are lame? Even the people who just have 1 or 2 for fun? Or do you mean the people who clad themselves in fake stuff trying to pass off as genuine?

fake passing off as real
at least an xo bag someone is carrying because they like the look of it and u know it's fake rather than someone spending a few hundred to buy a fake that looks real to say its real

[Kamen]

I have a fake wallet I use cuz I won't need to worry about bagging on it, but when people ask I tell them it's fake.
I agree with the whole lying about authenticity thing, that is lame.
Especially when they aren't even China A grade quality goods, when the stuff looks like crap with the maroon paint on the handles running everywhere and thick as hell, etc...

but isn't that the beauty of monogram LV? the oxidizing? the patina of it

i think it looks better as it ages!

Originally posted by t-im

I don't think so, that's why I try not to buy the lighter tans and get the darker straps. The problem that I find is that it it unevenly changes colours. The handle usually doesn't turn as dark as the bottom (from leaving it around)

[girlRACER]

I would stay away from this seller. He has had 12 negative feedback in the last month and everything he has listed at the moment is fake. ie. Prada wallets, Versace belts. I have been to the Burberry store in HK and I have not personally seen this color combination.

For those who think that you cannot buy authentic designer goods for less on eBay then you are misinformed. There are many legitimate sellers on eBay. You just have to know what to look for in the auction. It is all about sellers reputation. Holt Renfrew has an incredible markup on their prices (25-30%). I would NOT recommend buying anything Gucci, Prada, Coach or Fendi from there at all.

This is because their merchandise devalues everyday and while the flagship stores discount their items very often, the prices stay the same at Holt Renfrew. The reason U.S. sellers are able to sell it at such a low price is because they buy it at sales at hugely discounted prices. This is all true as I have seen huge discounts for these products myself.

This seller for example only sells 100% Authentic Burberry, and other brands for a good price.

http://stores.ebay.com/Praberry_W0QQsspagenameZl2QQtZkm

I have purchased from him and the products were genuine.

As for buying a Burberry scarf, there are two different kinds of scarves. The wool ones sell for $75 CAD regular price and the cashmere ones sell for around $300 CAD.

If ANYONE is considering a designer purchase ONLINE I would advise you to send me the link through PM. I will take a look at it for you. I'd hate to see someone get scammed.

[t-im]

^ where can u get the wool ones?
