Louis Vuitton Replica handbags and where NOT to buy them.

By NYFBags where Handbag Affordability and Utility are balanced with a Passion for Fashion.

Louis Vuitton is one of the most popular designer handbags but there are no Wholesale or Discount providers of this exclusive handbag. When buying a Louis Vuitton it is best to research your source, sadly there are many replica Louis Vuitton on the market. Ebay has a great feedback forum system that allows customers to leave comments on their dealings with a given original Louis Vuitton re-seller.

Louis Vuitton buyer beware. Louis Vuitton Replica.
Replica or real, what do you think?
If you are in the market for an original Louis Vuitton then our advice, at NYFBags.com, is to involve a high street retailer. Whether you buy directly from an official retail outlet or have a Louis Vuitton official look at your bag, we recommend not buying an original on good faith (without verification) from an unknown source.

The handbag on the left is a Replica Louis Vuitton Murakami White Multi Color Speedy and to a lay person it is indistinguishable from the real thing. There are documented cases on the internet where someone has taken such a replica to a Louis Vuitton store and (only after careful examination) they found it difficult to tell the difference. The difference would also be less detectible if the item was aged. The producers of these replica items use the same material (tags and bags) as the real thing.

That said there are genuine people who want to sell a used LV and they do list on Ebay, Craigslist etc. so it is possible to buy original handbags on the internet but due to the availability of high end replicas we strongly recommend the buyer verify the item with an official LV store. Idealy the verification should be done before purchase, but if buying from a reputable (i.e. established Ebay trader) then the verification could take place after shipment if the buyer can take recourse action.



If you are looking for used original designer Louis Vuitton handbags then Ebay is a good source.


Ebay is still one of the best places to buy a used original Louis Vuitton, or other designer, handbag in the USA. Be sure to check the sellers feedback and make sure you state, via ask the seller a question that you will seek verification (from a high street Louis Vuitton official retailer) after your purchase and expect money back if the verification fails.





The fame, popularity and desirability of Louis Vuitton designer handbags keep getting stronger, even as the price tags keep increasing. In 2006 an amendment to the homeland-security appropriations bill was proposed by Congresswoman Virginia Foxx which simply read “None of the funds made available to the Federal Emergency Management Agency in this act may be used to purchase a Louis Vuitton handbag.” This amendment was made following the revelation that victims of Hurricane Katrina were spending their government-issued debit cards on Louis Vuitton purses and other luxury goods. It was assumed that these purchases were for luxury items and not essential travel cases (needed for evacuation) that Louis Vuitton founder began manufacturing in Paris in 1854. The original Louis Vuitton trunks were built for utility and would have indeed been an essential item for persons displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Today the Louis Vuitton name is more associated with high end luxury handbags, rather than essential travel luggage. This transformation took place fairly recently with designers (and artists) such as Marc Jacobs, Julie Verhoven, Robert Wilson and Takashi Murakami. The best selling handbag in Louis Vuitton’s history was created in 2002 by Takashi Murakami and that is the famous Murakami line of handbags.

Louis Vuitton popular handbags:-

SPEEDY.
The Speedy was first introduced in the 1920’s in a larger version that was actually used to transport linens when traveling. It has gained popularity since then as a practical top-handle handbag that is both durable and convenient to use. It comes in a variety of sizes and fabrics, such as leather, denim or cloth. Celebrities from Audrey Hepburn to Paris Hilton have been seen holding their practical Speedy, which allows easy access to various nick knacks.

NOE.
The Noe was first introduced in the early 1930's when a champagne house contacted Louis Vuitton to make a bag that would hold 6 bottles of champagne. The bag still serves this function: 4 bottles with the bottom down and the 5th inverted and nestled between the others. Today the bag is primarily used as a practical city bag for everyday use, again matching function and fashion.

ALMA.
The Alma is one of the most distinctive handbags of the Louis Vuitton collection, again its popularity comes from the bags utility, comfort and fashion appeal. This bag is an adaptation of a handbag that we first made for a famous French designer back in the 1930's. The design of the bag allows for easy access and the contour fits comfortably to the body. It is also available with a shoulder strap. This, along with the Speedy, is a favorite of celebrities.

MONTSOURIS. This practical backpack was introduced into our line in 1995 and quickly became one of Louis Vuitton’s top sellers. Classic styling and ease of use make it practical for all occasions: travel, school or as an everyday handbag. The Montsouris takes the school backpacks into the world of fashion (start them young).

Murakami.
Designed by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, this is a huge hit with celebrities and everyone, alike. Again this style, as with most Louis Vuitton designs, marries elegance with function for people out and about.
