OMG, THAT IS HORRIFIC
Wow i'm even more thankful for my LV. Why bother trying to replicate LV they don't even come close. They should be embarrassed to put them on the shelf no style no taste 
I pity the people who spend there hard earnt cash on that.. just want to scream at them save a little more and buy a real LV!

hello!? these are not counterfeit bags. They do not claim to be a louis vuitton, they do not have the LV logo or name. They are produced by a legit company. Any brand can produce bags that are the same style as LV and make them brown to look very similar. Why is so gross to have these lower price, non counterfeit bags that people who cant afford LV be able to purchase? Really..the ammount of bag snobbery in this thread is embarrassing.
I agree. I have seen them in person and did the research, these are legit bags. They are not trying to say they are LV. Anyone that knows the LV line will know these are not LV bags or even copycat.. They are very lovely and very well made. They are Made in Italy as well. LV tried to sue DB for similar mono style and they lost. Based on reviews I have read elsewhere, the quality is actually comparable if not surpassing the quality of the LV. I have read this from many a reviewer.
This level of copying is pretty gross. They literally copied entire LINES of LV. If you look at their site, I see the following LV styles: Alma, Neverfull, Speedy, Tivoli, Noe, Popincourt Haut, Petit Bucket, Batignolles Vertical, Montorgueil, and Pochette. It's one thing for a company to have a few inspired bags, but I really can't give them the benefit of the doubt when they've copied nearly every classic LV design known.
Wow... there are a lot of ignorant comments on here. The fact that someone has the money to drop for an LV does not make them any better of a person than someone who loves the style of LV, but cant afford the hefty price tag, and opts for one of these nice alternatives. I think Rioni is trying to offer a similar LV look to people who can't afford the LV price; it's not like the company is trying to falsely use the LV name or logo.
A lot of people on here sound like rich, spoiled brats from high school. Just sayin'....

My personal belief is that if *I* can't afford a particular bag, i.e. crocodile Berkin, I find something else. But I'm not going to get my panties in a knot if someone else buys a Lederer. They're a legit company.
However, there is a profound distinction between a company producing fakes and one producing look-alikes. The fake company uses the branding of the one they're copying, such as same manufacture codes, heatstamping, company name on hardware. They are true knock-offs and are illegal.
A company branding a design-inspired bag with their own logo might be distasteful to some people, but they're not illegal.
Just this afternoon I was at the mall at either Macys or Bloomingdales (can't remember which) and saw a bunch of Birkin copies. I think they were by Michael Kors. Obviously, they were branded with his name and like all "design-inspired" bags, there were slight variances.
I don't think it's worth getting terribly worked up over these design-inspired companies. I DO think it's worth trying to shut down all those who produce fakes.

Who said who's better than someone when it comes to purchasing LV? While I kind of get where you're coming from, we are allowed to discuss and comment on the bags just like you are allowed to make your comments. I don't think people in here are judging or attacking other people that can't afford LVs. Me and many other people just think the bags look tacky and knock-off looking. If other people like them and buy them, I'm not judging them and I'm sure people in here aren't either.
Really, there is no need to point the finger at anybody in here.
That was just embarassing for the Roni brand! 
I understand these are not couterfeits, but Roni copied LV so blatantly that they should have been embarrased. Each brand should strive to be original and unique because that's what makes people want to carry it. I would feel exactly the same way about LV if they copied Roni. It has nothing to do with snobbery.
