I guess there is no point in asking if you love designer handbags. If you are reading this review then it is clear that you are one of us, one of the fashion passionate ladies who adore elegantly designed purses that complement your style flawlessly and serve as the perfect companion for all your everyday needs. The worst thing about luxury bags is that they tempt us with their gorgeous looks and discourage us with their surreal prices. Normal gals like us can’t afford paying thousands of dollars on a purse so the most logical choice seems to be buying a fake instead. This decision implies a few risks so naturally we need to arm ourselves with a few basic tips on how to identify a trustworthy merchant and a good quality handbag when we see one. Below you have everything you need to know on this topic.
Everything starts with a detailed review of the online store where you want to order the replica purse. Lovebags2016.com is my choice for today’s review and I will show you how to turn this site upside down in search of clues that tell you how reputable it is.
First of all, we take a look at its website. It is simple and unattractive. It doesn’t have any visual or promotional elements that get our attention. It has a white and bluish color scheme, a simple layout with a gray upper menu bar that includes buttons for the informative pages like New Arrival, Shipping and Returns, FAQ, About Us, Payment and Contact us. In the left side of the page there is a Products Menu and in the center of the page a small banner. In the lower part of the screen there are a few sponsored products.
Lovebags2016.com isn’t just a fan of designer handbags. This online company also has a weakness for luxury belts, hats, sunglasses and jewelry. Its collection is very diversified and inclusive; it offers something for every tastes and styling needs. In regards to the available purses, the store doesn’t carry such a wide number of designers. It offers only 15 bags’ brands and every single one of them is organized into sub-categories like Women, Men, Luggage and Wallets. And of course, each one of these sub-categories is divided into collections like Monogram Canvas, Monogram Vernis, Damier Azur Canvas and so on. Each collection lists hundreds of different models and there is no filter or advanced search option for retrieving just the styles that you are looking for so the browsing process is really tiresome and time consuming.
The prices for the replica handbags are pretty moderated. Most of the models, regardless of their size, materials or compartments, cost about $130-$200. This is very affordable compared with the prices of the genuine products which are usually ten times more. The luggage items are a little bit more. These cost about $200-$250. Normally, anyone would feel tempted to order one of these knockoffs that meet our budget expectations.
The pictures are a huge disaster or at least this is how I see things. For me it is obvious that this merchant isn’t very reputable and professional. It doesn’t invest time and effort into offering its own studio photos for its replicas. The purses are photographed in numerous different locations like on a sofa, on a carpet, on a table, in a store or hung on a wardrobe. Everything looks unprofessional and it makes you question whether what you see in the photos is what you will receive at your door.
Comparing the aesthetics of the original bag with the one of the fake product is my favorite method of seeing how authentic looking a replica is. This time I focused on a Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Neverfull MM Beige. I took a photo of the purse from the original LV website and one of the knockoff from Lovebags2016.com. The conclusion is really disappointing. The first problem is the structure of the bag- it doesn’t have any. The purse is shapeless because of the material used for manufacturing it. This is flimsy and poor quality and it bends and makes creases easily. Then there is the monogram print that is completely off. For instance, between the handles’ ends that attach to the body of the bag there should be two LV logos and one flower like in the picture of the genuine product, but on the replica there are two flowers and one LV logo. Another obvious difference is the upper beige leather margin that is uneven. This should be perfectly cut and stitched on the top side of the bag.
Lovebags2016.com surprised me a little bit. This replica handbags online store doesn’t take credit card payments at all. It only accepts Western Union payments. A payment policy that isn’t that good for its business, if you ask me. There are not that many online customers out there that are willing to send money with Western Union to an unknown receiver in China. Credit cards payments are the most preferred and secure options for ordering products online. Plus, let’s not forget that Western Union transfers imply a transaction fee that varies between 5% and 20%. And this company doesn’t offer any type of discount for this form of payment.
The really good news is that the delivery is free of charge. This merchant ships packages all over the world without charging you a delivery fee. It doesn’t matter if you buy one or ten replica bags, if the destination country is USA or a remote island, the delivery is completely free. The packages are shipped with regular mail and the estimated delivery time is about 14-21 business days. Of course, if you can’t wait for that long and you prefer a faster option then you can pay extra for DHL or FEDEX.
Lovebags2016.com offers a 30 days replacement policy. This policy applies for any quality defects you may notice on your replica bag. If the product is inferior to what you expected then you can send it back and replace it with the same model or with a different one. Also, if you just do not like the fake purse and you prefer to get your money back then you can return the item for a full refund. The company will issue the refund only after the product is safely delivered at their warehouse.
This website claims to offer customer service Monday to Friday from 08:30 Am to 18:00 PM. Furthermore, all questions are supposed to be answered in maximum 24 hours. Until now everything seems quite professional, isn’t it? This impression changes once you see that they offer customer services only by Contact Form, but not by phone or live chat. They don’t even provide a business address where you can send your inquiries securely. Everything about its customer care feels unprofessional and unreliable.
Lovebags2016.com is a replica purses website from where I would never buy a replica handbag. This online store has numerous popular models of fake purses at really low prices, free world wide delivery and a 7 days refund policy, but there are also numerous negative aspects about shopping a knockoff here. The company only accepts Western Union payments, it does not offer responsive customer care, the product pictures are not taken in its own studio so you really do not know what they will send you, plus the photos that are available on the site show replicas that are totally different than the genuine bags.

Hi please , which is the best site to buy high quality replica bags?
Hi Hanna, can please check this website? bagmak.com
Hey Sandra, This store doesn’t sell replicas, those are “no name” purses. In my opinion, the site looks a bit shady. There is no company name or physical address of the store/company.
Ciao 🙂
