Hi-

I'm new to the purse forum, and I need some help. Are any of these sites legit?

www.modaqueen.com
www.elegancehandbags.com
www.elleluxury.com

I appreciate all of your help. Thanks!

Melanie

No, no and no. All fakes.

melanierez · Nov 12th, 2007, 09:19 AM

How do you know that these are all fakes? By the price? By the styles? I'm just trying to educate myself, although now I know I can just post it here for advice!

Thanks.

^^^ Any site offering Chanel online is fake. Chanel doesn't allow their products to be sold online. Any site offering LV other than eluxury.com or louisvuitton.com is fake. LV is only sold online through eluxury.com or louisvuitton.com.

Thanks for your help. I'm very glad that I went to the Fendi boutique to buy my bag! I knew that LV only sold in e-luxury, but I didn't know about Chanel.

Do on-line sites carry current Fendi handbags, or only bags from past seasons? I know that BlueFly had the Fendi bag that I just purchased (Fendi B Mix bag 8BL096) for less money than I paid at the Fendi boutique, but it was totally an inpulse purchase. Fendi boutiques only give store credit, so it's mine now!

Actually, I don't think those websites sell fakes. The Chanel that they sell are glasses, which are indeed sold online.

Also, the handbags that they have for other brands are all past season, sold at a discount.

I have actually purchased a pair of Dior sunglasses from Moda Queen and they are authentic.

I think you'll find that the goods that they sell are just not from the current season, and they might only have a few pieces of each.

HTH!

morfoula · Nov 12th, 2007, 11:23 PM

how about:
www.dellamoda.com
?

Demosthenes · Nov 13th, 2007, 07:03 PM

The first three all sell fake handbags... don't know about the sunglasses. I own a real Fendi B bis shoulder bag, and before I bought it from the actual store, I got conned from a site like modaqueen/elagancehandbags/elleluxury.

The bags are insanely good fakes, especially looking at the pictures. But once you have them in front of you and you feel the texture, look at the hologram, etc. they are clearly fake. The bag listed on the sites is identical to the fake bag I got. They probably buy from the same manufacturer.

I can't tell with DellaModa... they look really good, and the tell-tale Fendi B bis isn't on there for me to be sure.

Demosthenes · Nov 13th, 2007, 08:26 PM

I took a close look at DellaModa, and sadly, I think they sell fakes too. They mention being a part of the Better Business Bureau Online, but when I went to BBBOnline and looked them up, they don't exist.

wow... i knew it was too good to be true :(

eBay! Just make sure to have any auction authenticated here before bidding.

Check out this thread:

The Purse Forum recommends the following stores:

Also check out Aloharag.com and BlueFly.com, both of these sites sell authentic bags and at a discount.

But you are right, if it sounds too good to be true, trust your instinct.

I just checked 2 of those sites and neither lists LV. Both list Chanel but only a small selection of sunglasses. If all that stuff is fake how do they get away with it? They have American toll-free numbers and ship UPS so they must have an American shipping center. I've seen raids on flea markets so educate me please on how such a large operation can get away with it.

ArmCandyLuvr · Mar 21st, 2008, 06:26 PM

^^^ Even so, the sites charge restocking fees. Restocking fees is a common hallmark of a scam.
