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.

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'm 37 years old and I already have a *hotdups* black Birkin bag, which was the first good choice I ever made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to associate with a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. I have no interest in spending $40k on a bag (a piece of leather + labor = up to $1000) Imagine spending $39k on this brand. Totally unnecessary.

I went to Studio Augusta when I went to Paris in the summer. I bought Monceau at *hotdups* to match. My only regret is not purchasing more. I really hope to get a mini Marley one day.

I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

@LarabellNewsome 28 күн бұрын

to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *hotdups* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do

@hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda Ай бұрын

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

@ameliarosescloset Ай бұрын

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

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.

If fakes are so good now, how can an online authentication be accurate?

@MilaN-lt2mq Ай бұрын

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.

@ameliarosescloset Ай бұрын

Oh, the certificate from online worked for the lv passport cover bestie bought

@MilaN-lt2mq Ай бұрын

@@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.

@seabreeze4559 Ай бұрын

cos the bag and the photos used might be different bags? I guess?

@MilaN-lt2mq Ай бұрын

@@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.

@maribelmarquez4740 Ай бұрын

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.

@Ellie-jh5oq Ай бұрын

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.

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. 🤷‍♀️

@WarmSun_MGM Ай бұрын

@@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.
