The Budget Fashionista

Hi everyone - I am looking to buy a good used classic Louis Vuiltton Handbag.  Any good tips out there as to where to look?  I’m nervous about buying on Craigslist or Ebay because I can’t really tell by the pictures if it is actually authentic.  Any advise would be welcome.  Thanks!!!

I would definitely head to a high end consignment shop. But first stop by the Louis Vuitton boutique (Saks or Neiman Marcus has them) to learn how to spot a fake. Pretty much all the LVs on eBay and craiglists are fake and even the ones at consignment shops cam be fake because few people really understand how to tell the different.

Check out this article I wrote a while back:
