There are several websites that sell auth. Bal, though none of them are allowed to sell them online. One has to contact them and ask for pic. and prices.

I know for a fact, that Styledrops at one point sold fake Bal bags, so stay away from them.

I just came across this site and I'm wondering if it's reliable: Designer Handbag, Authentic designer Handbags and Fashion Accessories from Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Top Designers

I have a feeling it might be the same site that people have asked about before, only with a different domain name or something...

Any experiences? I have no qualms about buying something with a little wear if it's authentic. I figure it would get that way if I had been using it for a while anyway.

boysRsmelly

Hmm... I can't tell you whether that stuff is authentic or not because they use stock photos for everything. The fact that their selection is limited is a good sign though (at least its believable that they are selling discontinued Gucci and Prada... since you can buy them on clearance at department stores). Their Hermes and LV are previously owned... so at least that part it believable as well. Sorry I can't be of more help... but its hard to say when they don't have pics of the actual items.

I found this site VOGUELANDE -- Designer Handbag and Jeans
i was just wondering do you think they're legit ??

I haven't had any personal experience with them, but I have heard that they sell fakes... so I would be wary.

I second what boysRsmelly said! Also some of the images are stolen from the eluxury site.

Has anyone made a purchase or looked at this online auction site?
They have some lovely bags (not to mention watches, jewelry, etc.) and they claim to authenticate all the products before they go up for auction...

boysRsmelly

I have not purchased anything from there, but I have heard good things about them. I checked out the site... the prices certainly reflect authentic items. Hope that helps some!

A quick skim of the site would lead me to click away.

1. Any place that promotes Western Union (the scammer favorite) and bank-to-bank money transfer isn't any place that legitimately buys luxury goods.

2. The photos aren't theirs.

3. They lie in the "About Us" part. They said they were established in 2002, but a check with Network Solutions shows their website was established in 2006 and expires in three more months!

WHOIS domain registration information results for voguelande.com from Network Solutions

4. The whole site is in poorly done English. Might even be a phishing site.

Jennifer

thanks magnolia! yeah they do seem very sketchy. I would stay away

Nice bags. I want a Miroir. I can't figure out the Birkin, though. $8,500 ...for what? And that's one of the cheap Birkins.
