This used to be a bigger problem in the early 00's. I ended up buying what was probably a fake Fendi from Loehmanns. This was sad because Loehmanns did use to sell legitimate brands and it's also possible they didn't know at the time but there was a big scandal when it turned out to be fake.
LV at Costco!? Wow, that raises so many red flags (especially with the incorrect spelling). Even reputable resale sites can make mistakes with authenticity which is why I am so hesitant to purchase from anywhere except the boutique.
Cali Cowgirl Very true! And many resellers mark up trending bags over retail so in that case you’re better off buying directly from the boutique 🤗 Thanks so much for watching!
I had a "whoa!" moment when i heard you said you went to law school. Your vlogs about LV made me watch bec im a growing LV fan but your law school mention made me subscribe. Beauty and brains...and LV! My kind of vlog😊💚💕
Costco sells Coach, Kate Spade & Tory Burch handbags that are not in season or part of the regular non-outlet collection. The prices are not that much cheaper than if you were to buy these items at Coach, Kate Spade or Tory Burch stores or sites. I always doubt the authenticity of these handbags. I wouldn’t spend hundreds of dollars on designer handbags at Costco let alone thousands of dollars.
That does not surprise me at all that Costco did this thank you for your video it’s great insight and I suggest anybody that has questions about purchasing bags from websites that they’re unsure about to watch your videos!! I am so proud that you’re getting so many subscribers because when I subscribe to you you had 12,000 now you’re almost double that❤️😻
Aw thank you so much for watching Ashley! I was just at 6000 subs last month! Viewers seem to resonate with my videos discussing behind the scenes LV employee info =)
Yeah they’re able to resonate with your videos because you’re very knowledgeable and you’re willing to take feedback and actually apply it to accumulate more videos that people have questions about and you care about what we have to say and answer questions and you want us to have solutions to our answers which is amazing.Also just how you are as a person you’re very relatable and I feel like people can ask you what they really want to know and you’re not gonna make us feel stupid or anything you just want us to understand and that’s the best thing ever and I really applaud you for wanting to share your knowledge because you’ve helped me out a lot with purchasing my new Clemenc’e wallet from LV.!❤️😻
Thank you for this. Earlier this year, one of my employees showed me a post on a Chinese social media app that Costco was selling Hermes bags for the grand opening of Costco in Shanghai. I tried to tell her I doubted they were real, but she wasn’t having it. 😂
I started watching you when you had very few subscribers I am really happy to see you grow love your channel and the the way you talk I never miss a video.
I completed the intellectual property concentration at my law school, and I remember reading about an infringement lawsuit involving Tiffany & Co and Costco’s “Tiffany-style rings.” Costco ended up having to pay massive fines for copyright infringement. I won’t be surprised if an incredibly similar fact pattern is happening here.
Yes!! I’ve heard of that case too and Costco was ordered to pay $21M, but it was recently overturned on appeal 😬 Costco also settled a Michael Kors lawsuit for a bait and switch ad. Very shady all around! Congrats on finishing IP, that’s a tough subject but can be one of the most interesting 🤗
All I could say is the prices are so close. I just asked you about Burlington wow now Costco. If a replica was my goal I would run straight to China for $50 this is as bad as the human hair lace front wigs 3 for $40 when we all know the cost of one is $700-$1500 typical Facebook advertisement,and people were falling for it. As mother would tell me when I was younger if it's too good to be true it is. Mom knows best. Well in the Burlington/Costco case the prices are so close you could fall victim to the okeedokk. Once again love your videos ,and thanks the informative information.
I am shocked that a large global retailer like Costco would do this. I would have expected that everything on their website would be checked by their legal people 🤔
Because you are not an authorized seller does not make a product fake. If people were buying fake products from Costco I am quite sure it would be all over the News.
New subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I am not a fan of pre~loved mainly because I love shiny & new. The other reason is I couldn't bear the feeling of being duped. I'll just continue to save my coins and purchase only at LV boutiques. I must say that I luv the content you deliver on your chanel so keep it coming and I will continue watching. Also, you had me salivating over those $49 dollar employee shoe sales! 🤤
OMG this is insane, damn costco you're really doing LV dirty like that. I am dead, can't believe this is a thing. Great video - thanks for sharing with us xo
Thanks so much for watching Liz! Costco has been sued several times by other designers for similar issues and I plan to talk about it in upcoming videos 🤗
Great video! In my opinion, it seems logical that a luxury handbag from any of the major 3 brands (Chanel, Hermès, and LV) would never source their goods to Costco, which is a wholesaler. The luxury brands are all about exclusivity, which is the opposite of the premise of Costco (saving by buying in bulk).
Your video just reminded me of those people that looted the LV stores..if they ever brought them back for repair..the salesperson can obviously see that the ID is not listed as sold from any outlet or online.
That's horrible! I know the company "Tiffany" sued Costco for fakes. Uhh, makes me lose total respect for Costco.. congrats on doing so well for your success on UA-cam beautiful! So happy for you 😍😍❤❤
Thank you for this because I had a friend who was telling me Burlington Coat was selling alot of high end bags especially LV. I cannot remember the name of the third party company that allowed Burlington to sell these items.
Omg I've actually seen that before! I walked into a Burlington and they had a few LVs in glass cases! I was so shocked I was like are these even real? Lol
I can’t believe Costco would sell counterfeit. They’re normally a credited company... and normally have great customer service. Wouldn’t they be sued? But yeah, seeing the misspelling it can’t be real.
The only time I’ve seen designer bags at stores that shouldn’t have them are usually damaged items, photoshoot samples, or customer returns. These are usually sold by the brand or a department store (usually by the department store because we all know most brands just burn these things) to a liquidator who then sells it to discount resale stores. San Francisco had a wonderful designer discount emporium before it finally closed several years ago. It was very well known in the Bay Area and was where I would purchase my designer pieces when I couldn’t afford it in my early 20s. Nowadays, if I see Chanel or LV where it don’t belong, it’s because the items being sold are used and are part of a collaboration with a well known secondhand store. I remember seeing designer things at a Banana Republic flagship. It was strange.
I have a department store near me called Palais Royal ( kind of like a Kohl’s) and they sell used Louis Vuitton’s. They had several cases of them in the cosmetics section. I thought it was odd. Especially since the prices were about as much as you would pay for a new bag.
This is really interesting and I'm glad you brought up this topic. I love shopping at Coscto (Canada) and I have also seen high-end bags and wallets like Prada, Burberry, Givenchy, Celine, Chloe, and Fendi; and contemporary bags like Kate Spade, Tory Burch and Michael Kors. I checked their website (Costco.ca) and it states "Since Costco is NOT an authorized dealer for this product, the manufacturer's warranty does not apply. In place of the manufacturer's warranty, Costco will refund your purchase price if you are not completely satisfied with this product". This has opened up my eyes and it also surprised me to see those bags at wholesale, also which not saving alot either. Thanks sharing this great info!
Really nice video definitely some stuff we should never buy on Costco that’s so crazy, a lot people think just because the price is almost the same it is autentique, or because come from a big company. Well thanks for sharing again 🥰🥰🥰
I wouldn’t have believed it unless I saw it, but there’s at least one Dillard’s location that is selling used LVs. Locked up, in their handbag department, and for a pretty penny.
I am exactly doing it, I’ll save money now and when I am ready to purchase then I’ll go to boutique and buy the Neverfull MM bag. I am paying for authentic.
The sad thing is that people really believe they are buying something legit from Costco which they feel it’s a reputable company. I just read a comment from a man saying the reason it’s at Costco is because they are not perfect hence the discount. It’s just all very disturbing.
Hi Verushka! LV does not directly sell damaged items for a lower price to a a third party reseller. Damaged LV bags are sold to LV employees at an employee discount - I discuss it in my LV employee perks video ua-cam.com/video/-XYI5RmfiTQ/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
There have been rumors back in 2019 where a customer purchased a bag only to have it authenticated as a fake after and after getting a refund the customer stated that fashionphile re-listed the bag up for sale again even though the customer had already told them the item was not authentic, do you feel this is a concern?
Omg that’s soo sneaky how they misspell it to cover themselves! Thank you so much for sharing babe. I really enjoy this series and your content in general 😘❤️
A few years ago, I remember that Burlington Coat Factory was selling LV bags... they were in clear display cases, chained to the display tables. Has anybody else ever seen this?
Great topic! I heard these are like new preloved items and costco online is just a marketplace for them like Amazon or Walmart. Wonder if it’s just one bag for each listing or many available. 🤔 But like you say, considering the listed prices, I’d rather just buy them new from LV for peace of mind! TFS! 😘😘😘
KK LVoes CC I totally agree! It’s possible there are vendors on Amazon that sell authentic, maybe pre-owned LV, but at that price with such a slim discount, why chance it 🤗 Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Hey, there is now one official reseller who has some LV bags and accessories and it's 24s. The prices for us are better because they don't have tax. I'm from Europe and the prices are mostly really close to this from LV boutique.
@@AHeatedMess Is this true? Can you do a video talking about this - I'm just curious how LV decides what to sell on 24S and what the benefit of lowering prices on an outside website vs offering seasonal/yearly discounts on their main sites/stores.
I got a beautiful black chocolate bar vintage authentic Chanel from a reputable Japanese reseller in 2018 that I love and it's in great condition! Now that's the only place I look to for authentic preloved luxury items. I was so excited to see in your other video that you buy from Japanese resellers as well. New subbie and can we talk about the thick, volume of your hair! I'm ready for my blowout now that's it's fall😍. I love Costco for food, wine, dog food, etc ONLY 😄😄
Let me ask you this...many influencers on instagram promote those ugly fringe LV bags on their insta page and will promote and tell their followers that LV is having a sale. As a consumer and someone who has been buying LV for over 25 years, I know LV never ever does sales nor discounts their products. What do you say to that? It makes my skin crawl when I see these insta people promoting the fake LV with the fringe!!! New follower, love your channel!!!
i would love for you to have a podcast about anything! lol such a great speaker! love all your videos! even though i literally don’t have any of the bags you review, except a few beis ones hehe
A Heated Mess omg! so excited! i wonder if it’ll be a comparison review on any of the ones you already have! since they just launched their new “mini” versions of the original ones! aahhh can’t wait! 💯
Do you mind talking about the quality of lv? Seems quality is not that good even though it is claimed to be high quality since there are so many defective LV bags got returned stories
Same here. I hear of SO MANY problems with LV bags being poor quality and the boutiques not standing behind their products Personally, I just avoid the brand. Besides, there are so many fakes out there of monogram items they just look tacky and cheapen the value of authentic bags.
Gentleman's Gazette did a video on the weekend bag, and commented on the different tones of metal hardware, and list of rules for care basically confirming the lack of functionality (the host of the video made a joke by petting the bag.)
I saw this on the facebook resell group, and I was so skeptical about about Costco selling the “Speede or the Neverfall” lol. Not sure if they corrected the names. Never would buy other than the boutique itself 💓 Love you girl! 💋
Have you seen the repourposed Louis bags? They are very popular in the cowgirl world. Lots of fringe added! We went into the LV store in NYC. The sales people loved our bags. Or they pretended to. Lol!
Howdy, and greetings from Texas. I saw a new section of LV bags and other leather items at my local Dillard's department store here in McAllen tx. I believe they stated some were vintage, they looked in really good condition. What do you think about Dillard's? I've also heard some Macy's carry new LV items. Thank You
Love the dress you are wearing! It's interesting that Costco started to sell LV but I probably would not purchase from them lol. I have seen preloved luxury items at century 21 too.
Have not had a problem with Ruelala- however I have never purchased the vintage products. The new Valentino, Prada, etc brands are all genuine. I think the vintage items are similar to purchasing from any second hand website.
I’m a watch collector and have seen and know people who have bought legitimate Rolex and Omegas at Costco. I haven’t and have only been in a Costco a few times, but it might be possible.
Are you aware that LVMH’s e-commerce website 24S sells LV bags? The styles are discontinued but the prices are below the retail. Could you make a video about this?
LVMH owns 24S 🤗 The prices may vary by country based on currency conversion and taxes 👍🏽 I can discuss in a future video - thanks so much for watching!
I purchase LV bags and have watched some of your previous videos. I am sure that people who may want to work for LV, would find them interesting regarding the perks, pay, etc. I actually was quite surprised that such a huge Corporation such as LV doesn't require a "Contract" for employees to sign that prohibits them from disclosing that information. Obviously people will disclose personally, but just surprised it's not prohibited on Social media. Being in Sales (Insurance for Large Corporations) for 30 years, I always had to sign a Contract to never disclose such information publicly. Not only regarding my clients, which I would never have done anyway, but salaries, bonuses, etc. That applied to me. I found that interesting about LV.
Hi Great video. I’ve got a question. A You tuner mentioned a site 24s. They claim they sell Louis Vuitton that are new but no longer sell in the stores. You can get a coupon for 10% off. Is this a legitimate site.Thx.
ppl were reporting they were available only for specific area codes. so in the Costco search you would need to enter a specific area code to get the result
How interesting.....would never have thought this could happen at Costco. I have seen designer bags before (I’m in the uk) Gucci and fendi and had been tempted. Good job I never did purchase from them. Great video and very informative 💖
Hello, Cindy. I would not consider buying anything LV from other stores other than an official store.🤗 Interesting story, darling. Live to hear more from you.❤️
Ooooh I don’t shop at Costco but someone recently told me about how they’re selling LV bags now. I’m only 10 seconds into your video and I already know this is going to be good! 👍 Update: YUP, so good! 🔥 I’m sharing this video on my IG. Your LV videos have been on point lately. Keep them coming Cindy! 👏
I used to work for a premium fashion brand (and now work in the legal industry too🤣), absolutely nowhere near LV priced or anything, just an expensive high street brand and Costco had branded clothing items from my store that were clearly fake. The brand did have an outlet and started doing sales but the Costco stuff was obviously fake. It's absolutely so suspect and so weird that Costco and other reputable brand allows this stuff to happen! 🙃
The is a Navy Exchange near my place that sells a lot of LV Bags. But I buy my LVs in the LV store. I don’t want to deal with the doubt if it’s real or not. If you really want to buy LV products just buy it in the LV website or store.
Lol yes I’m in the process of selling our home and moving so I had to take down my bags from display and put up empty shopping bags/boxes for house showings 🤗 Check out my Instagram - I posted a video of the rest of my shelfie 👍🏽
Another great video Cindy! People could easily be taken in by LV selling on Costco website, because they trust Costco. And wow, those prices were ridiculous!
I have no idea Costco sell those LV pieces online. Wow 😳 it’s pretty obvious those were counterfeit bags with those misspelled model names. Thanks for sharing this. Can’t believe it 🤦🏻♀️
Cindy, Does Costco think they are selling authentic bags without knowing they might be fake? Also last time I shopped at Costco store in person , I saw bunch of designer bags locked in case cabinets for sale
A Heated Mess this is just so crazy! Costco is such a huge company why would they risk their business like this?! I’ve seen stuff at Von Maur and Younkers too. What about them? Dillards? Burlington?
I think Dillard’s sells pre-owned bags from personal consignment - Burlington however is a hot mess and has been sued several times which I plan to discuss in upcoming videos 🤗
Omg, It reminds me about a time I went into Macy’s and they had LV bags there and I kept looking at them. I was like “idk they had LVs “. I was shocked “like no way “,Upon a closer inspection I new they where not real (saw no date code, etc.) . I just had told the sales associate too cuz she was really ( persistent) trying to sell me the bag. I said “no thank you”
Never fall for a NEVERFALL 😂❤️
Lol my new life motto! 🤗
Loved that line! 😂
They need to change name to Always full, bc everyone fills it up
@@irinasvetlaya7768 yup but doesn’t matter if the bag is 11-12 years old. They price it what it’s originally sold for and there all preowned!
You sound so rich, educated yet still humble. I wonder how many people you inspire daily. Love your energy!
Thanks for the heads up, but I would not buy a designer bag from Costco. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol good call! I wouldn’t either and I definitely don’t recommend it 🤗
It doesn’t mean it fake .... just be cautious
I would not either lol. I like Costco but not for designer bags. 😀
I have no clue that Costco sell Louis Vuitton bags. How interesting it is. Thank You so much for sharing darling ❤️
Thanks for watching Irene 🤗
Only if you want a Neverfall or speede.
Wow! Who knew?.....I did not know that.
Costco doesn't sell Louis Vuitton bag. They sell fake knock offs
This used to be a bigger problem in the early 00's. I ended up buying what was probably a fake Fendi from Loehmanns. This was sad because Loehmanns did use to sell legitimate brands and it's also possible they didn't know at the time but there was a big scandal when it turned out to be fake.
Hi Cindy! I've been combing through your past videos of story times. I really love your voice, and sometimes I just listen to you when doing errands.
Thanks so much for watching Maria 🤗
This is why I only buy from the Louis Vuitton site...just to be extra safe and secure
Lmao I knew something was up when I was making my daily food sample rounds and noticed LV/Gucci bags being sold next to the frozen yogurt cart.
😆😆😆
🤣🤣

I got a beautiful black chocolate bar vintage authentic Chanel from a reputable Japanese reseller in 2018 that I love and it's in great condition! Now that's the only place I look to for authentic preloved luxury items. I was so excited to see in your other video that you buy from Japanese resellers as well. New subbie and can we talk about the thick, volume of your hair! I'm ready for my blowout now that's it's fall😍. I love Costco for food, wine, dog food, etc ONLY 😄😄
Excellent and very informative video. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Let me ask you this...many influencers on instagram promote those ugly fringe LV bags on their insta page and will promote and tell their followers that LV is having a sale. As a consumer and someone who has been buying LV for over 25 years, I know LV never ever does sales nor discounts their products. What do you say to that? It makes my skin crawl when I see these insta people promoting the fake LV with the fringe!!! New follower, love your channel!!!
So glad to see you made a video about this!
out of curiosity have u tried shopping LV bags at Japan Trift stores? coz they said it’s really cheap buying there too do u think they are fake too?
“Neverfall” ha Another great video Cindy awesome thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks for watching Yota 🥰🥰🥰
You’re my new favourite UA-camr!
Aw thank you for watching Ethan! 🤗
A Heated Mess I bought my first ever Louis Vuitton wallet today because of your videos. You’re such an influencer haha.
ethan b. Yay congrats!! Was it the pocket organizer 🥰
A Heated Mess YES LOL
i would love for you to have a podcast about anything! lol such a great speaker! love all your videos! even though i literally don’t have any of the bags you review, except a few beis ones hehe
Thank you so much Nicole! I might get a new Beis bag soon and if I do I’ll definitely post a review 🤗
A Heated Mess omg! so excited! i wonder if it’ll be a comparison review on any of the ones you already have! since they just launched their new “mini” versions of the original ones! aahhh can’t wait! 💯
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with viewers
You are so informative
Thank you 🌷
Do you mind talking about the quality of lv? Seems quality is not that good even though it is claimed to be high quality since there are so many defective LV bags got returned stories
would be so interesting, so i second this
Same here. I hear of SO MANY problems with LV bags being poor quality and the boutiques not standing behind their products Personally, I just avoid the brand. Besides, there are so many fakes out there of monogram items they just look tacky and cheapen the value of authentic bags.
Gentleman's Gazette did a video on the weekend bag, and commented on the different tones of metal hardware, and list of rules for care basically confirming the lack of functionality (the host of the video made a joke by petting the bag.)
Love your voice and informative video as always
Thank you so much for watching 😀
I just got my first two pre-loved/pre-owned authentic LV bags purchased at the reputable Seller in Japan. 💕
Japan is great for resale bags, especially LV. You can typically find even better prices if you go a little further out, like Shinjuku.
Good video. Have a nice autumn.
I saw this on the facebook resell group, and I was so skeptical about about Costco selling the “Speede or the Neverfall” lol. Not sure if they corrected the names. Never would buy other than the boutique itself 💓
Love you girl! 💋
Thanks so much for watching Matt 🥰
This was interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Have you seen the repourposed Louis bags? They are very popular in the cowgirl world. Lots of fringe added! We went into the LV store in NYC. The sales people loved our bags. Or they pretended to. Lol!
Thank you so much for sharing this info it’s so informative ❤️
Thanks so much for watching!
Howdy, and greetings from Texas. I saw a new section of LV bags and other leather items at my local Dillard's department store here in McAllen tx. I believe they stated some were vintage, they looked in really good condition. What do you think about Dillard's? I've also heard some Macy's carry new LV items. Thank You
There are LV boutiques in some Macy’s. Pre-owned LV bags at Dillards should be reviewed on a case by case basis 🤗
Macy's have LV boutiques inside their stores. Also, Gucci, Longchamp, and Burberry along with Coach, MK, RLL. They are all boutique stores.
Love the dress you are wearing! It's interesting that Costco started to sell LV but I probably would not purchase from them lol. I have seen preloved luxury items at century 21 too.
Thanks so much for watching Renee =)
Wow I didn’t even know they sold these things. I think that’s so strange lol. TFS girl! ✨
Yes if you want to risk it, Costco sells LV "Speede" and "Neverfall" lol! Thanks for watching Richelle =)
What about those online websites like Gilt and Rue LALA? Are they reputable?
Have not had a problem with Ruelala- however I have never purchased the vintage products. The new Valentino, Prada, etc brands are all genuine. I think the vintage items are similar to purchasing from any second hand website.
Gilt is a reputable site, they are not selling brand new LV bags but other ones can be brand new like Gucci, fendi
I’m a watch collector and have seen and know people who have bought legitimate Rolex and Omegas at Costco. I haven’t and have only been in a Costco a few times, but it might be possible.
Such a good speaker.
Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Yeah she is ! I was JUST thinking of the same thing
She is .
I agree ! And you always look professional thanks for addressing all these topics
Are you aware that LVMH’s e-commerce website 24S sells LV bags? The styles are discontinued but the prices are below the retail. Could you make a video about this?
LVMH owns 24S 🤗 The prices may vary by country based on currency conversion and taxes 👍🏽 I can discuss in a future video - thanks so much for watching!
@Beryl Li what is the e-commerce website for LV bags?
@@londasg1 24S
Hi Cindy, What if we sell our preloved LV in our social media, is it allowed to mention the item for Example : Authentic Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM ?
I purchase LV bags and have watched some of your previous videos. I am sure that people who may want to work for LV, would find them interesting regarding the perks, pay, etc.
I actually was quite surprised that such a huge Corporation such as LV doesn't require a "Contract" for employees to sign that prohibits them from disclosing that information. Obviously people will disclose personally, but just surprised it's not prohibited on Social media. Being in Sales (Insurance for Large Corporations) for 30 years, I always had to sign a Contract to never disclose such information publicly. Not only regarding my clients, which I would never have done anyway, but salaries, bonuses, etc. That applied to me.
I found that interesting about LV.
Thanks so much for the information
Hi Great video. I’ve got a question. A You tuner mentioned a site 24s. They claim they sell Louis Vuitton that are new but no longer sell in the stores. You can get a coupon for 10% off. Is this a legitimate site.Thx.
Yes! 24s is owned by Lvmh
They must have removed them. I just searched Louis Vuitton on Costco.com
The listings were removed after (I assume) they sold out bc I was able to add one to my cart 😬 Thanks so much for watching 🤗
ppl were reporting they were available only for specific area codes. so in the Costco search you would need to enter a specific area code to get the result
How interesting.....would never have thought this could happen at Costco. I have seen designer bags before (I’m in the uk) Gucci and fendi and had been tempted. Good job I never did purchase from them. Great video and very informative 💖
Hello, Cindy. I would not consider buying anything LV from other stores other than an official store.🤗 Interesting story, darling. Live to hear more from you.❤️
Ooooh I don’t shop at Costco but someone recently told me about how they’re selling LV bags now. I’m only 10 seconds into your video and I already know this is going to be good! 👍
Update: YUP, so good! 🔥 I’m sharing this video on my IG. Your LV videos have been on point lately. Keep them coming Cindy! 👏
That’s the same price I paid for my neverfull in Oregon. If you want to save money shop in states that don’t charge sales tax.
I love your channel! I totally thought of you when I saw that Costco deals post on ig and wondered if you saw it too!!
You’ve became my fav youtuber!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Delina! And Delina is still my favorite perfume 😂🥰
A Heated Mess 😂 Im leaning on getting the delina exclusif, i bought a sample and omg its amazing!
I used to work for a premium fashion brand (and now work in the legal industry too🤣), absolutely nowhere near LV priced or anything, just an expensive high street brand and Costco had branded clothing items from my store that were clearly fake. The brand did have an outlet and started doing sales but the Costco stuff was obviously fake. It's absolutely so suspect and so weird that Costco and other reputable brand allows this stuff to happen! 🙃
Hi, does LV accept repairs even if the item was not purchased by me in stores? I bought a bag on a reseller and would like to get some repairs done.
I love Costco but would never think of getting luxury bags there! Wow the names are baffling! (lol)
thanks for the tip....lv does not go on sale and sold elsewhere except for those luxury consignment stores which are already used.
The is a Navy Exchange near my place that sells a lot of LV Bags. But I buy my LVs in the LV store. I don’t want to deal with the doubt if it’s real or not. If you really want to buy LV products just buy it in the LV website or store.
You changed your bag shelf! Was it in your last video? Or did you change it for this one? I have to go back and check now!
Lol yes I’m in the process of selling our home and moving so I had to take down my bags from display and put up empty shopping bags/boxes for house showings 🤗 Check out my Instagram - I posted a video of the rest of my shelfie 👍🏽
A Heated Mess Well it looks cute! I’ll check out IG. Good luck with selling!
Thanks for this video. its very informative esp to someone new like me m at luxury world. stay safe and stay as vibrant as you are. ❤️😊
Another great video Cindy! People could easily be taken in by LV selling on Costco website, because they trust Costco. And wow, those prices were ridiculous!
Thanks for all your advice you’re such a lovely lady am an LV fanatic I love your channel 💞
This is just so funny 😂😂 LV at Costco....... seriously 💀 🤣
I have no idea Costco sell those LV pieces online. Wow 😳 it’s pretty obvious those were counterfeit bags with those misspelled model names. Thanks for sharing this. Can’t believe it 🤦🏻♀️
Ive seen vintage LV bags sold at TJ Maxx
TJ Maxx has a history of accepting counterfeit bags - I will discuss this in an upcoming video in my Lux Law series! Thank you so much for watching =)
What about the ones being sold at Dillards,?
The authenticity of any pre-owned bag from a third party reseller should be evaluated individually 👍🏽
@@AHeatedMess what about von maur are you saying that store is selling counterfeit bags because they're a third party
@@stephaniebohlken7132 No, I said the authenticity of any preowned bag from a third-party should be evaluated individually 👍🏽
Hello, Filipino here.❤️ love listening to you.
Lol omg how crazy! Thanks for sharing girly
No one gets something for nothing...if it’s too good to be true, it probably is...
Wise words 🥰
Cindy, Does Costco think they are selling authentic bags without knowing they might be fake? Also last time I shopped at Costco store in person , I saw bunch of designer bags locked in case cabinets for sale
I discuss both Gucci and Fendi in the video and unfortunately it’s not looking good for any of these luxury brands 👎🏽
A Heated Mess this is just so crazy! Costco is such a huge company why would they risk their business like this?! I’ve seen stuff at Von Maur and Younkers too. What about them? Dillards? Burlington?
I think Dillard’s sells pre-owned bags from personal consignment - Burlington however is a hot mess and has been sued several times which I plan to discuss in upcoming videos 🤗
A Heated Mess keep them coming girl! 🙌
Hey Cindy great video! Do you Louis Vuitton is better quality made in France than Texas
Omg, It reminds me about a time I went into Macy’s and they had LV bags there and I kept looking at them. I was like “idk they had LVs “. I was shocked “like no way “,Upon a closer inspection I new they where not real (saw no date code, etc.) . I just had told the sales associate too cuz she was really ( persistent) trying to sell me the bag. I said “no thank you”
Costco , China Town, and Facebook's COUNTERFEITS are the WORST😄😅
Idk why UA-cam is recommending my broke ass these videos but I’ve been binge watching them all day that I feel like I worked at LV 😂
Thank you so much for watching =)
