and why we are against copying in design

We do understand that the best design is often imitated, however lovehandbags.co.uk are against counterfeiting and will only ever sell 100% authentic luxury goods 100% of the time.  We fully support the design industry, legitimate companies and conscientious shopping.

The purchase of luxury products on-line is becoming increasingly problematic, as many of these items (for both new and pre-loved) are for counterfeit goods.  A huge percentage of which are dishonestly advertised as authentic for the same price or as close to as the genuine item - however some are advertised at a price which reflects the inherent inferior quality of the item. These counterfeit, mirror or high copies appear genuine to many unsuspecting buyers, though in most cases the lack of quality will give the game away.  Unfortunately many of these items are re -advertised for sale as authentic (occasionally in belief of this) by the original purchaser - leading to a recycling of fake, poor quality goods, with your investment truly wasted.  See some useful tips in our how to be counterfeit aware guide.
