WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT REPLICAS?

Louis Vuitton wants online shoppers to know that replica, counterfeit products are manufactured and sold with the intention to not only profit from the infringment of Louis Vuitton's numerous trademarks and copyrights, but also to trick consumers into purchasing goods touted as mirror image and exact copies. Don't be fooled—these operations generally use low-quality materials and adhere to sub-par manufacturing standards. The goods sold by counterfeiters are not and will never be the same as authentic Louis Vuitton goods.

But it can get worse. In addition to peddling their deceptive goods, many counterfeiters have plans to dupe people even further. In many instances, while purchasing a replica Louis Vuitton handbag, for instance, a customer might give away his or her credit card number and never receive the goods at all. That's right, counterfeiters often entice consumers with false claims and then never even send the product, meaning hundreds of dollars, at least, have been thrown away—this happens more often than you might think.

But there are less obvious repercussions, too. Engaging in illegal practices doesn't often stop with counterfeiting, and many sellers of replicas are suspected to be involved in organized crime, terrorism and identity theft. And those who sell replica Louis Vuitton products may be engaged in tax evasion, which means they are receiving money for counterfeit goods and not paying taxes, which help to fund the development and progression of our cities, states and countries.

Clearly, very little good can come of the replica industry, and Louis Vuitton remains committed to the battle against counterfeiting.
