Came across the website hitluxury dot com. They claim their Louis Vuittons are genuine and they're being sold at a fraction of the price. Anyone had any experience with this place?

Sounds like a scam to me. I don't think LVs are ever discounted or on sale.

can't be. Louis are only sold at there own shops. I do know of one other place and its the LV shop at Saks Fifth Ave on Michigan Ave in Chicago. Could be good fakes but I wouldn't waste my time on it.

Louis Vuitton bags never go on sale, not even in the boutiques. They are never discounted. Anyone selling a $4,000 bag for a couple of hundred bucks is not selling an authentic Louis Vuitton.

The only place they are discounted are sites that buy & re-sell used originals.

I have a friend who verifies high end bags for a website that re-sells.

You are right... I forgot about the pre-owned sites: but they are still pricey!

I don't know anything about that particular site but I do know there are hundreds of sites that claim they are selling genuine LV bags. The price is the tip off that they are selling "real" LV knock offs. This site is telling you they are knock offs....Bagsshopping is the most famous manufacturer....they aren't even pretending that the bags are legit. They aren't trying to fool anyone. The truth is right there for.....

"Bagsshopping is the most famous manufacturer of women handbags based in Guangzhou, China. As a pioneer in online handbag wholesaling,We have unbeatable advantages, after years hard working, in products quality, price and service"

Years ago knock offs were cheap copies but now they are so good that they often fool experts, high end retailers have purchased them without knowing it. That's why women buy from these sites, they want good knock off bags that look like the real thing.

The website in question was created on 9/28/14. (IP 50.93.202.250)

It's set up to appear to be hosted in Florida, but it's actually hosted in Beijing, China (website bizcn dot com -- strongly advice you stay away from that one, too). (eta: These sites are set up as "new" to get as many visits and victims as possible before they close down and reappear with another name.)

I wouldn't send my worst enemy to that website. It has hoax, scam, and danger written all over it.{#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

Dang you are good. That is scary! Bet that site goes away just as fast as it came up.
