look fabulous not fake... 

lovehandbags.co.uk are 100% against copying in design and will only ever sell 100% authentic luxury goods.  Our aim is to make this boutique a safe and most trusted place on-line to find your authentic pre-loved or new luxury handbag.

As the saying goes 'the greatest form of flattery is imitation', though sadly today most of the designer listings online (for both new and pre-loved items, unless purchased direct from the brand or an authorised agent) are for fake or counterfeit goods.  A huge percentage of which are sold as authentic to an unknowing public for the same price or as close to as the genuine item. These counterfeit, mirror or high copies appear genuine to many unsuspecting buyers, the nature of which often goes undetected.  So very often and unfortunately these items are then re -advertised for sale as authentic (often genuinely in belief of this) by the original purchaser - leading to a recycling of fake poor quality goods.  So it can be a minefield to find a fabulous genuine pre-loved item.

fakes are never in fashion.com 

At great cost globally the counterfeit industry supports many illegal activities including child labour and modern day slavery. Whilst its workers perform under intolerable conditions this ungoverned industry offering no basic rights in terms of safety, working conditions or pay.  The money gained from these fake goods contributes directly to expanding many continued criminal practises within these networks! 

Harper's Bazaar have just launched www.fakesareneverinfashion.com a new website which aims to become a key source in the counterfeit war and which will arm you with knowledge on how you can make a difference.  Take a look at our against copying in design page to read more on our attempts to eliminate fakes from your wardrobes!
