With reports that counterfeiters fund terrorism, governments are taking steps to bring a halt to replicas manufacture. Luxury goods manufacturers have prevailed upon governments to bring about laws, to discourage not just selling replicas, but also buying them. Since the replica industry is seriously affecting an already faltering economy, governments have started imposing fines on buyers. Seek Out Stores Selling Authentic LV Quality and Louis Vuitton have gone hand in hand since the company was founded in 1954. The company that started off as a trunk making enterprise, for the European ton, soon became a coveted household name. When the company began making high quality handbags and accessories, even the not so rich could afford at least one Louis Vuitton bag. So, what makes their products so much sought after? Quality and timeless elegance. You most certainly won’t find that in replica Vuitton products. The only places you will find original Louis Vuitton bags are the stores catalogued in the official website of the company. If you want to shop online, be wary of any store apart from Eluxury and the official website of LV. Other stores may claim to sell LV. They are for sure replica LV. Some resale stores do sell authentic used Louis Vuitton that was auctioned off. But it wouldn’t be remiss to be wary. Don’t Travel Abroad with Your Fake Louis Vuitton What would you do when counterfeiters using your designs are laughing their way to the bank? Louis Vuitton and other companies affected by the replica trade have succeeded in getting the government to make import of counterfeit luxury products a criminal offence. The customs department is taking this law very seriously. You don’t want to be caught holding a replica Louis Vuitton handbag at the airport customs check. While you may not be put behind bars, you can expect some rude treatment from the officials. Understandable considering how counterfeiting affects not just a country’s economy but also Foreign Direct Investment. Investors shy away from countries that can’t control counterfeiting. Since airport officials are thoroughly tutored to spot fake Louis Vuitton, you won’t escape unscathed. Fines on Counterfeits are Really Heavy A new decree called â€abusivismo†has declared illegal both buying and selling counterfeits. The really scary part sometimes is, the number of doors that are unlocked and carefully locked behind you when you attempt to buy a replica Vuitton handbag. Presumably this is done for safety. Naturally the question arises - whose safety? You go through all this only to be heavily fined - sometimes up to â' 1000 for possessing a replica Louis Vuitton. You will be fined on grounds that by encourage illegal activities, you promote crime. If this is not paid within 60 days you’ll be horrified at the interest that accumulates on the original sum. What do you do when this happens to you at a foreign airport? Is owning a replica really worth all this trouble? Surely not. So the next time you consider buying one, do think again.
