Hi all! I am thinking about treating myself to LV Handbag (lower end of price scale). Do these bags ever go on sale? Where is the best place to purchase? Thanks so much!

I own 2 LVs and love them. They never go on sale. I bought both of mine at LV stores. You can also order online. Some Saks Fifth Avenue stores have LV boutiques.

They never ever go on sale @ChancesMom.

I love LV adore everthing about the brand.

Its just way out of my price range , so I got a fabulous knock off on NYC streets.

But if you are looking for the real thing, LV stores online would be your best bet.

Lucky Lucky girl........treat yourself.

@Jannyg. I have more than a few LV bags collected over 50 yrs. I love mine, as well. They wear like iron. I still use a lg. drawstring bag purchased 46 years ago as diaper bag/purse combo when son was born & daughter within 12 months. I purchase mine at the stores mentioned and Neiman’s. For that much $, online is not an option for me. I want to see the bag up close & personal.

A poster mentioned awhile ago that Dillard’s was selling LV bags. If you call LV CS, they are not a liscened dealer of LV. They try to keep a pretty close watch on the few approved stores who sell them.

Shaun's: I agree. If I'm spending that kind f $$$ on a purse, I want the total LV store experience. But their website is a good alternative if you're not near a store. I don't. Is about Dillard's but some retailers (Steinmart) are seeking used designer bags. There's a fun website for those of us with a bag addiction. Bag, Borrow and Steal sells used designer bags. You can also rent designer bags. So far, I've avoided renting but have made a couple of purchases of items listed as pristine. But like everything, be careful. I've noticed some of their prices are pretty close to regular price and not a great deal

Hi Ladies, been wanting a LV for many years. i have heard horror stories about their return policies. Has anyone had any issues with their return polices and the quality of the bags? TIA

My local Lord&Taylor has quite a few vintage/pre-owned bags for sale. They even have their own sales associate - so they must be selling.

Never a problem with the quality of the bag. I was given a wallet a few years ago that wasn't quite right and exchanged it for another style (and paid a bit more) so there wasn't a problem with that. Don't know about returns.

The real thing is Never on sale.

These bags are what I would call investment pieces, in that they last forever, look great with a little care, are always in style, and always classic.

I have 2, Love them, don’t need any more, but SO glad I purchased these.

LV has a policy of NEVER putting their bags on sale. In fact, l've read that they destroy bags that haven't sold-- a practice that l find offensive.

I do too @handygal2... but I guess we don't get a say...

Bloomingdales also has LV boutiques in some of their stores.

@stevieb: Macy's, too... The only say we have is to not buy their products.

@handygal2 And I don't... (buy their products) and while price is, of course, a consideration, there are other things that influence me. For one, given their cost, I don't want to see them coming and going... and let's face it, they've become very commonplace... There are a ton of places to buy them around here, were I interested... I do admire some of the bags, but they're just not for me at this point in time...

@stevieb: I agree. With an expensive bag, l don't want to see myself coming and going. I'd rather have bags that are interesting and different-- and as a bonus, much less costly.

@handygal2, I did read the very same thing...if they do not sell, they are destroyed, and the destroyed bag numbers are archived for reference. That is just ridiculous.

But I LOVE LV and BURBERRY

LV has their own Boutiques that sell their authentic new product and as said, never on sale. They also sell their authentic, new product at some high end Dept Store counters at Neiman Marcus, Sak, etc. and the counterspace is LEASED and only LV employees sell their product. So when you go into NM to buy an LV, it is being sold by an LV employee and not a NM employee.

I know you can get some wonderful deals on used LVs from some reputable sellers out there but be VERY careful. Even those using authentication services (even more than one) have been fooled as the counterfeits are done incredibly well, better than ever. One style in particular (Neverfuls) are extremely hard to identify and the MOCA Neverful has only ONE error on it and only a handful of people even know about it.....

Good luck and have fun with your new LV!! The first one is so exciting~!

@Q4u

I purchased mine from one of those high end leased counters from LV employees. Afterwards I sent them to LV NA in NY to be checked and authenticated.

Received a letter of verification with registration # on it from them. Just wanted to be double SURE! I have been told that some knock-offs are so well done that even the employees in their stores can’t spot them, well... that worried me enough to take an extra precaution. This was @20 years ago.

Hi Skididdy-Thanks for thr tip. Can you name any locations for good copies?

Re: LV Handbags

Pecky — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 12:13:52 GMT

If they didn't have knock off I might consider purchasing a pre-owned one at Lord & Taylor. Since there are knock offs people would think mine was a fake.
