I was wondering if Epis are dups as much as say the monogram and other bags. they have a unique look to them so I was wondering what anyone's experience has been or if you have heard.

If I purchase from another seller otherthan boutique.

thx.
 
Everything LV make, fakers always try to fake it..it's not as much as mono but yes fake epi do exist. I saw some at Ebay..so shiny and plastic looking..

I agree, be very careful and like bagsnbags said, we can help you and btw this is my favorite LV line.
 
I think Epi bags are faked just as much as monograms, and people fall for them too just because IMO a lot of buyers are only aware of the monogram bags...to be honest, I'd really have to ask to tell whether an epi bag is real or not.
 
I think every so often I get wowed by on-line auctions etc.

I know myself, I won't be happy unless I have a good shopping experience and end up prancing out of the boutique with the shopping bag.

Onward ! to find my Croisette Epi in the colour I desire !:love:
 
I haven't seen it as faked as other pieces. I especially don't see anyone with fake Epi's since the fakes they DO make are fairly easy to spot. It might be more prominent in some places but I never see any fake Epi's here.
 
Yes, faked...and much harder to spot than fake monogram or Damier...especially if you are dealing with Ebay. I would say most of the Epi on there at this point is fake. I wouldn't go near it unless it is from Elux, LV or MPRS.
 
I've seen a faked green wallet at Narita Airport. They are showcasing fake & real stuff to explain to people that they aren't allowed to import fake stuff...
