Finding a luxury product at a discounted price is more than many of us can pass up \u2013 with the occasional bargain on the preloved or auction circuit fetching huge interest among investment buyers and those looking for the latest addition to their collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

But sometimes, if something seems too good to be true, that\u2019s because it is. With the standard of counterfeit goods on the up, distinguishing between what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not, has become somewhat of a skill in itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at Love Luxury, we\u2019ve created this guide to counterfeit goods so that you know what you\u2019re looking for and can impress friends with your knowledge about what constitutes <\/span>real designer luxury<\/span><\/a> \u2013 and what doesn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why you should avoid buying counterfeit goods<\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes buyers deliberately go after counterfeit goods, especially when they are unable to afford the genuine designer item. Now, this might seem harmless, but once you start to consider the impact of that decision later down the line, suddenly your cost-cutting decisions don\u2019t look so good from a moral or economical perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Counterfeit goods are <\/span>poor in quality<\/span><\/a>. Not only that but they are often sold under illusions and are sometimes even falsely marketed completely \u2013 with stats suggesting that some 20% of luxury goods being advertised on social media are counterfeits being advertised as the real deal.<\/span><\/p>\n
