| At Vanity Lounge™ we offer only the best
brand names and highest quality goods
and proudly stand behind their
authenticity.
Authenticity can be verified in any store
that carries our designers. Selling and buying non-authentic brand items is a crime
and punishable by law. Genuine merchandise
has its price and doesn't come cheap. As a
general rule of thumb one can say that 'any
bargain too good to be true usually is'.
Since anything
between 75 and 95% of all goods on eBay are
counterfeit, we would like to help you make
an informed purchasing decision with the
information below.

These are the most important red flags
when evaluating the authenticity of
merchandise offered on eBay:
-
The seller is registered in one of
the countries “famous” for fake
textiles such as China (including
Hong Kong), India, Turkey, Bulgaria
or Romania.
-
The item is located in one of those
countries. (Unfortunately fake
sellers are not honest with their
answers. Oftentimes they are even
registered with multiple eBay
accounts in the UK, Canada or the
US.)
-
The seller offers multiple designers
and photos show the same design
details of most goods, i.e. these
sellers simply sew in different
labels once the order is in. The
product itself is always the same!
Always look at the seller's other
items as well and don't just stick
with one item. Compare!
-
Sellers with huge sales volumes of
specific brands are most certainly
not selling genuine goods. No luxury
brand would deliver that much to
only one distributor.
-
Still the best sign for fraud is an
incredibly cheap price though.
Quality comes at a certain price and
bargains that seem too good to be
true usually just are!

Of course we all know that selling and
buying fake textiles is not quite the
right thing to do but here are the most
important reasons WHY our gut feeling is
not misleading us:
-
It is illegal to sell and buy counterfeit merchandise.
Nowadays severe legal actions must
be expected and it's quite likely
your goods will be seized by
customs.
-
You are taking serious health risks
when wearing fake textiles. Most of
them have been treated with illegal
chemicals *known to cause cancer*
and were banned by all reputable
manufacturers decades ago.
-
Most times even the lower price you
pay for non-authentic textiles is
still too high compared to the poor
quality you get.
-
Colors bleach out sooner.
-
Clothes don’t fit the way they are
supposed to.
-
Once washed, clothes may show wear
and tear.
-
Last but not least, what a disaster
if your friends find out you’re
wearing fakes! After all, who wants
to be exposed an impostor?
