Are items sold on Authentic Lovers authentic or replicas? Authentic Lovers only sells 100% authentic items, guaranteed! Says it in our name. We take trademark violations very seriously. Don't even try to think about selling us or consign a replica. If we recieve a replica, fake, or imitation, not only will the item NOT be returned to you, we may also use the information to prosecute you.

Don't be fooled by the numberous websites on search engine that says, "Discounted high quality designer handbags" or "Authentic Louis vuitton bags for wholesale or retail". First of all, there is no wholesale market for most high end brand names. Second of all, if they mention "high quality", most likely it's a fake. Third of all, if it's brand new, there's no way they can sell it for 25%-50% of retail price. Just think about it and do your due diligence as a buyer.
