I was reading about the incident in which a women would buy luxury bags from department stores and return superfakes in their stead, so innocent customers wound up buying fakes from the department stores... This was quite a while ago though.
So, have luxury brands done anything to stop instances like that? I feel like people could still be doing it.
I know Chanel has authenticity numbers that can't be easily copied, but a lot of other brand bags don't have something like that. LV has date codes, but do sales associates even check that the date codes match the receipts (are the date codes even written on the receipts?) when the items are returned? I feel like my SA barely knew what the date code was.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
