Jen Shah Had Fake Designer Bags and Jewelry Found During Home Raid
In a TikTok video, the woman is shown rummaging through bags at a local thrift store when she notices a red leather bag that appears to be quite familiar. Ashlee then opens the bag and notices that it says Hermes on the label. She seemed completely taken aback, knowing that the bag cost less than $10 (about Rs 840). It has a little stain on the front, but it’s not a big deal,” the woman says in the video as per Newsweek. The rule also extends to social media influence as it prohibits anyone from selling or buying fake indicators of influence, such as followers or views generated by bots. American Family Field and the surrounding parking lots and roadways are private property.
Leung can spot a fake Hermes Birkin, especially if one comes in with an authenticity card – no such card exists. A kind of counterfeit doyenne, she shills reps out of her Tribeca penthouse and uptown, where the extra room in her classic six serves as a showroom. “All the moms buy from her,” one Upper West Side rep buyer noted, while another described a party at which guests were encouraged to compare the doyenne’s real Birkins with the fake ones she was selling. “I have seen a lot of influencers at them and a few reality stars,” says the Hamptons-based RepLady. There are 1.7 billion listings on eBay on any given day. Tens of millions of those are items that can be counterfeited.
Counterfeiters have been known to alter authentic receipts. We keep a book of legitimate receipts from all over the world to compare and ensure they’re consistent. All receipts from the same boutique use a particular font. They’re typically packed with important information regarding the bag, color, hardware, size, and serial code. If the font or information differs, it’s a major red flag. When it comes to spotting fakes, stamps, maker’s marks, and overall construction are great places to start.
Only 6% of respondents said they had bought a handbag through social media and would not do it again. This isn’t good news for brands, as 6% is most definitely not enough to discourage counterfeiters to stop their illegal business venture. With marketplaces becoming more efficient at tackling counterfeit sellers, social media has now become a distressfully cunning way to target the counterfeit customer base. Private groups may give a sense of exclusivity to potential buyers, as well as seem like they’re getting a secret deal. It’s easy for people to share these deals with friends and family, making it an effective new tool for a counterfeiters’ selling strategy.

Check out Canal Street in Chinatown, NYC for some great Gucci fakes as they are pretty common there. It seems that Gucci did not get the research data that indicated that fake handbag buyers do not upgrade to buying the real thing when the cost is over 100 times the price of the fake.

EBay is allowing the counterfeit, fake, junk handbags to be passed off as Dooney and Bourke. Counterfeits impact not only individuals but also the planet. This year, the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) released a study that shed light on the risks posed by counterfeit goods flooding the market and their potential hazards for consumers.
Police officers raided one popular flea market in early April, confiscating 63,000 counterfeit items including fake Nike shoes, Louis Vuitton bags and other would-be luxury goods. Officials closed 11 stores and arrested 10 individuals, according to Reuters. Louis Vuitton is considered to be the most counterfeited brand of all luxury brands – reportedly 90% of LV purses sold on eBay are fakes. In 2008 the French court ordered the online marketplace to pay $61 million to LVMH, the luxury group that owns Louis Vuitton.
For around $200, I procured a Gucci Jackie Mini, which retails for $2,500. It came in an apple-green Gucci box complete with tags, a dust bag, and Gucci-branded desiccant packs. I brought them all to an authenticator in a popular Upper East Side consignment store, the nice, boutiquey kind that keeps “carefully authenticated” Louis Vuittons in locked glass cases. After peering at the fake for several minutes, the woman behind the counter sighed. As well as aesthetic accuracy, many have the same date codes, stamps, locks, French-tannery labels, and serial numbers used to distinguish their real counterparts.
Guests are not permitted to stand in the aisles, wells, or walkways, or obstruct others from viewing the game while taking photographs. Camera lenses must not exceed eight (8) inches in length. Guests deemed to be violating these rules may be ejected, and the footage may be confiscated.
The only thing better that comes to mind is actually holding the garment in my own, thirsty hands. The heartbreaking reality of returning said piece back to its retail home can be devastating. According to the survey respondents, the ones that should be primarily responsible for taking fake items off online channels are platforms (48%) and brands (24%). In recent years, online platforms have been taking action toward protecting their buyers. Alastair Gray, expert counterfeit investigator, claims that the attacks that occurred in Charlie Hebdo in Paris in 2015 were funded by the counterfeit handbag business.
This is the world of designer bag replica enthusiasts. They ask each other to check the authenticity of sellers; they leave reviews on what stitching was perfect; they transfer and bargain with each other; and they keep up to date with the hottest replicas on the market. It almost feels like a little Ocean’s 8 community of naughty wheelers and dealers around the world.
It is quite heavy as it is made of metal brass and not plastic, painted in gold. Inferior materials, such as imitation leather, differ in texture and flexibility from genuine leather. Genuine leather products may also bear certification stamps. The absence of such labels suggests a potential fake or pre-owned item.
According to its latest financial report, it has no debt and over $60 million in cash (including short-term investments) on hand. As I looked closely at my bag I could see the quality imperfections. I didn’t think the leather looked as supple as it should. The inside barcode tag was easily removable and frayed.
Opting for authentic products from the beginning can help prevent these harmful effects. It is important to remember that the fact that counterfeit products are illegal actually accelerates these negative results. Choosing to purchase authentic items not only supports ethical production practices but actually protects the environment.
PLUS the seller that sold me the fake bag is still selling on Tradesy. If you are caught selling a fake bag you should not be allowed to list more items. I shouldn’t have to follow up with Tradesy to make sure that they aren’t selling anymore. You have the power to put a stop to the trillion-dollar underground counterfeit market. The cash flow in counterfeits is what’s feeding the monster.
Although, mine was pretty obvious due to the different interior color, there are a lot of fake bags that look EXACTLY like the real thing. And unfortunately, you can’t take it to a store to have them authenticate it. For example, if you buy a Chloé bag off a secondhand site, you can’t take it to a Chloé store to have it authenticated. And after doing some research online, there aren’t that many places you can go to have a bag authenticated.
I was mainly checking out The Real Real hoping to find the Chloé Nile around $1000. I had seen a few pop up but I wasn’t ready to buy at the time. So eBay is still not going to declare something fake based on member reports, unless one of those members owns the rights. You do not have to participate in the VERO program to force Ebay to remove an item that violates your rights.
However, Earn is questioned by security guards, who claim that the $100 bill that he gave to the guard is a counterfeit bill. The owner claims it’s fake and Earn decides to leave, although he is forced to pay for his entry again as he was already in the club. As they head outside, a security guard says that they know the bill is real but that the owner was “tripping”. He decides to call Alfred, inviting him to a strip club. He, in turn, takes Darius and Tracy (Khris Davis) to meet with Earn and they are astounded to see him and Van rented a limo to go to the strip club. “Illegal packaging is dangerous to consumers, especially when it is ripping-off well-known brands that are attractive to children, and needs to be removed from the marketplace,” Elliott said.
The area surrounding the two monuments is known as the Workers Walkway.

Sometimes I can spot a fake just by looking at its clips and clasps. Fake products are a big problem to the companies that make the expensive stuff, and they have to defend themselves against the fakers in any way they can. So if it is a handbag that was sold as a replica – that is you knew that it was not a genuine bag and it doesn’t have the logo on it, you would probably be OK. The shapes of the hardware that connects an item together, like handles or zippers must be smooth.
However, I’ve become more resolute in my stance and have strong reasons for steering clear of counterfeit bags now. Brewers Clubhouse Shop “Game-Used + Memorabilia” The Brewers Clubhouse Shop is located on the Field Level concourse, in the heart of the First Base Ward near Section 110.

Bertelli might not be concerned, but you have every right to be. To help you protect your next pre-loved purchase, our experts have listed 10 ways you can tell a Prada bag is fake. If the piece you are considering displays even one of the following inaccuracies, keep shopping. After seeing the Grand Bazaar, I needed a dose of reality. So I toured the Nisantasi shopping district, and visited an actual Hermes store where I psychologically bathed myself in the air of the genuine stuff I so genuinely appreciate and value. By evaluating a bag before purchasing it, shoppers can avoid the disappointment of buying a fake one and enjoy the benefits of owning a genuine leather bag for years to come.
When inspecting it to find the bag style, I noticed the story patch had a serial number that had never existed in the Coach database. Most Coach bags have a leather creed or story patch, which is a leather patch inside a bag that’s embossed with the bag’s serial number and history. Also, pay attention to the fonts of the inside stamps; the company has been using the same font for years and the first and easiest letter to observe is “O” in Vuitton. It must be perfectly round as a circle, not oval-shape like 0. “TT” in Vuitton almost touches each other and L has a longer first vertical line than the horizontal.
As one of my friends said “In the Grand Bazaar, the items you see on display are not the good ones. You have to talk to the seller in the shop and they will have someone take you to another place. Usually, the sketchier the place, the better the quality of the items”. I asked her why this was the case, and my friend said that the people selling these bags and other accessories, don’t want to face the risk of losing all their high quality items if the police comes to the Bazaar. Authentic designer bags exhibit meticulous stitching consistent with brand standards, whereas counterfeit versions often display frayed or inconsistent stitching, indicative of inferior quality.
Luckily, Tradesy lets you send items to their headquarters to have them authenticated if you think the item is a fake. If they find that it’s a fake they will refund your money. I was confident that my bag was a fake and I’d get my money back BUT I’d heard horror stories online about how people were sent fakes and Tradesy still said that the fake item was real.

Most times, when a fake comes in, the stitching is very sloppy and/or crooked. Coach takes pride in the craftsmanship of its products, especially when it comes to its edges, stitches, and zippers. It’s also good to compare the color of the bag to the official Coach listings of the bag online. First, I check the material of the hang tag, which every Coach bag has come with for decades. I’m not sure I agree that buying $29 fake Gucci slides is a form of anti-capitalist protest when you could be spending QC-rubric-making energy on…not buying things at all.

Nonetheless they were of very good quality, especially the lamb and chevron flaps.One of the sellers even had all the exotic bags in stock. Chanel, HERMES, Dior, Gucci, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and so on and on. Limited bags made out of exotic skins were also available.
Not only that, but you will see so many of the young guys hustling their wares donning genuine fake items from anything that covers their hair follicles down to whatever covers their toenails. Hats, T-shirts, scarves, denim jeans, bags, shoes – anything that can have a logo – are all worn by so many of these guys, it’s almost as humorous as it is insulting. If the price of a bag seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Some might never go back to buying the higher-priced original handbag. Consumers have fallen – and will continue to fall – into the hands of counterfeit handbag sellers, if solutions don’t get implemented fast. It’s an unfortunate truth that many consumers are turning a blind eye to this dark and criminal industry. A considerable amount of people are buying fake handbags by mistake, while some don’t seem to care that their Gucci bag is a super fake, as long as it looks the part. Clothes are mixed together to reflect your personal style, but when you carry a designer bag then it is what it is. The brand is prominently displayed, like a silent shout out to the world that you have the money to indulge yourself.
Fake bags, however, often have a synthetic texture that feels plastic or rubbery. The color and texture may be inconsistent, and the leather may have an artificial shine or sheen. The quality of the leather is one of the most important factors to consider when evaluating a bag. Genuine leather has a natural texture and a unique appearance that is difficult to mimic.
We retraced our steps and cooled off in a Chinese bakery, assuming our beloved dealers started their days late. Dad checked himself out in the bathroom and then asked us if we wanted to see the gym. I wanted instead to bask in Mom’s excitement and gaze at the billboards outside our window. When CBP was asked for evidence linking counterfeits to terrorism in the U.S., they cited the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center as an example. Additionally, they asserted that “other terrorist organizations have engaged in the sale of counterfeit goods and stolen cultural artifacts to help fund their organization.”
You get to experience the luxury without committing long-term. A lot of that time is down to the details on top of the main sword block that the Master Sword slots into. For a fan like me with thoughts of Kakariko Village and the sword itself lodged in the Temple of Time or Korok Village, it’s a set that manages to capture the very essence of Zelda without even having Link in sight. If the US really enforce this “no knock” thing, it would take a massive amount of man power to check everyone’s single items for authenticity. Just imagine, watches, shirts you’re wearing, the wallet in your pants, etc., etc.
If you have sensitive skin, you’ll see be exposing yourself to allergic reactions and may spend money treating this. A total of10 people are on trial, seven of them former workers at the company who are alleged to have made dozens of fake bags sold for tens of thousands of euros.

Brands could speak up about these type of counterfeiting repercussions to their followers if they want to push back the wave of popularity in counterfeit handbags.
Despite counterfeit sellers conducting business publicly, law enforcement said it’s difficult to crack down on their activity. While most declined to respond, one seller disclosed that the operation is often exceedingly discreet, with each link of the process isolated from the others. The precision and attention to detail put into making replica handbags have made it easier for them to pass off as genuine luxury products, with hardly any noticeable differences to the untrained eye.

Grey discusses how often sellers will be overlooked by watch-groups, as buying fakes from a distributor in China is less suspicious than other, more extreme criminal activity.

In 2021, US customs officers seized a container filled with more than $30 million worth of fake designer bags and clothing at a Los Angeles seaport in a single operation. CBP officers found bags, shirts, and pants bearing counterfeit logos, including Gucci and Louis Vuitton.

A further complaint was received, in August 2021, from a person who had purchased 70 counterfeit handbags from Ms Krueanarong via a Facebook page where she had advertised items for sale. Checking the hardware is another authentication process you shouldn’t miss in inspecting a handbag. Luxury brands use only the best kinds of metal for the hardware of their bags because details like this also come with the hefty price tag on the bag. The biggest problem for brands is that these counterfeiters have returning customers.
On the other hand, fake bags may not come with any packaging or dust bag, or the packaging may be of poor quality and inconsistent with the brand’s standards. The best way for the authenticity issue to get resolved in the resale market is for the brands to get much more involved. So far, brands have not been encouraging about resale because they want to sell more new stuff and resale inhibits that. But over time, as consumers demand it and sustainability becomes an increasingly popular commercial proposition, brands will think about it again. It can be really hard to spot imperfections if you’ve never seen a really high quality bag before. That’s why I would recommend checking out the real thing in store if you are considering buying secondhand.
“They’ve already got the clientele … the tourists go by on the street, the bag is bought and it generates profits for the criminal organisation,” said Evangelista.

Any deviations, such as missing or substandard packaging, can signal a counterfeit product. By opting not to buy designer knock-offs, you’re standing against intellectual property theft and respecting the creative efforts of the designers and brands. And don’t forget the possibility of legal trouble; possession of counterfeit goods can lead to fines or legal repercussions. Along with being more affordable, designer replicas allow you to experiment with different styles without committing to a specific brand or spending a fortune.
According to the agency’s reports, counterfeit goods comprise a staggering 2.5% of global trade. Luxury goods are the most commonly counterfeited items.

If you have money to blow on a bag, just get one that’s of good quality, something not too common while describing your lifestyle perfectly. Don’t pretend you have more money than you do because there lies the road to misery. Wallace showed two Chanel bags that appeared similar in quality. Both appeared to be made of Chanel’s “Caviar” leather fake bags online, but the leather’s softness was the giveaway clue. The problem is that the copywriters have a small fraction of the training that the more expert people have.
The consequences are often less severe than for other crimes. In one case Biechele has followed closely, a Manchester-based counterfeiter caught holding stock with a street value of £2.5 million ($4.8 million) was fined just £11,500 ($22,300). “And we looked closer, what was his annual return? It’s like £6.9 million ($13 million) annual return,” she said. Early one morning, Blackwood and his team raided a warehouse in the heart of the suburb, uncovering what appeared to be a counterfeiting operation above an otherwise legitimate-looking textiles warehouse.
Attorney’s Office show storage units within the facility piled with handbags and shoes. Authorities also released a photo of boxes of counterfeit goods they seized from the storage facility. Brass — and nickel, another popular Coach choice — also tends to be heavier, so I’ve found many fake bags are lighter in weight. An authentic bag should have a tag made of the exact leather used on the bag. To me, a flimsy, low-quality hang tag often screams a bag is fake. The leather often doesn’t match the bag and is very thin.
So I did some research on how to spot a designer fraud. Vidyuth Srinivasan, founder of authentication company Entrupy. Ivan J. Arvelo, the special agent-in-charge of Homeland Security Investigations, New York, used the arrest to illustrate the potential harm that comes from buying luxury brand knockoffs.

Though the material of the brand stamp does differ, it should never be plastic or cloth.

If the PRADA brand name does not change orientation, the bag is definitely a fake. In 2012, Prada’s CEO sat down for an interview with Bloomberg television. While he intended to publicize the Italian house’s ambitious expansion plans (to open 260 stores within just two years), his controversial comments about counterfeits stole the show. Patrizio Bertelli asked, “Don’t you think it’s sad for a brand that no one wants to copy them? ” Arguing it proves the brand is covetable and, hence, successful, he claimed Prada is actually ‘happy’ that its products are frequently counterfeited. The release said counterfeiting networks are increasingly moving to online platforms and social media to distribute products on a large scale.
So how can you be sure that that gorgeous, designer purse is the real deal—and not just a cheap fake?

To them, status isn’t having the means to join the $10,000-handbag clique—anyone could be so basic.
I have mostly seen stuff about fake Rolex watches and that was mostly about how to avoid being ripped off. Usually they are looking for comercial quantities of the fake stuff and most confiscations are those who are recieving said item via post. Customs probably won’t look twice at a bag you are using.
