Site Review ~ www.eluxbag.com

I finally figured out this site. For many moons... ( do you like that? Lol) For many moons I have been watching this site, kind of in awe of the wonderful jewelry and scarfs available to us. What beautiful things! Then I thought...well I guess I should take a look at the bags because that is what we are really all about. Right? Right!!!

So here is what I found.....
They do carry top quality Replicas.... but it is not the first site I would pick to buy them. The prices are fair. And for the most part things look ok. I personally would rather get the wonderful accessories they have on this site and leave the bags to someone else.

The  On Sale Section
DO NOT buy any of the BAGS in this section!!!! Just don't bother. I know, I know....$35.00 but no. Do not add it to your basket! If you do.... well your on your own.

The way I see it, at some point this site must have aquired 5star  ( and lower) replicas either knowingly or unknowingly. Well now it appears that as they realize their mistake? they put the poorer quality bags on sale. What this means ( in my mind )  that randomly mixed in with the 7STAR Replicas are a lot of other- star- Replicas...and really that is too much work.

But the accessories are to die for! Here are a few for you to enjoy!

I have this in 3 colors! Great Piece!

This look really good! Christian Louboutins

Chanel. They have a lot of colors....

These Chloe Over the Knee boots are pretty close to the original.

(I would get them if I didnt have 3 pairs of OTK Boots already!)

Any comment guys? Tell us what you think!!! Thanks for reading!!

Louis Vuitton ~ DAMIER AZUR ~Repilcas

Lets Talk about the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Replica Bag!

A reader recently asked recommendations on a Damier Azur bag. I have none. I have over the year or so bought 3 Azur Replicas from 3 diffrent sites. They are all 7Star Quality in terms of quality, construction, hardware etc...actually, they are perfect bags!

Here is my story!
 I carried my Damier Azur Galleria GM around often. One day I was out and about with a girlfriend and I saw someone with the same bag I had. Now you might say " But Guru, their bag was probably a very bad fake!" and normally I would agree with you! However on this day the person in question was an A-list Celeb who was likely given the bag for free by Marc Jacobs himself (on behalf of Louis Vuitton)! As much as I'd like to say..." I can compete with that"...I can't.
I was so ashamed. We promptly left the eatery, I feigned a headache and we went home. ( My girlfriend by the way is the wife of an Alist Celeb and well... she borrows my bags!!!) I was horrified! What if the media caught wind that in one of her pics...the bag was a fake? How would I explain this to her? ( She has no I dea that I carry Replicas...thats a different post)
Anyway....

The Problem....
The calf trim that surrounds all of the Azur Bags, and is used for the handles etc. The trim is present on several LV bags especially the traditional Monogram, Azur, Multicolore, and a few other lines.

The problem with the  AZUR Replicas is the calf leather trim on many of these bags is way too light. Light in color. After awhile as any of you authentic LV owners already know, these parts of the bags tend to Oxidize and get much darker. Sometimes taking on a dark almost tan ( or actually Tan) complexion. The problem is further amplified because the Azur is a light colored bag anyway so this "glitch" is pretty obvious to the trained eye.

The Damier Azur Replicas do darken a bit. But not near enough. They start out way too light to begin with... and really it just doesnt match up as it should.

Now I have found this problem mainly with the Damier Azur, however in some pics the Monogram Canvas can also look a bit...white? instead of a nice beige-y color. I have not seen a site that offers a better quality of the Azur as of yet, however it is really hard to tell due to lighting etc in the pictures.

You guys can try...but I would stay away till further notice. I got mine at Runwayhandbags.net

FYI

PS: Everything is spot on for the Damier Azur handbags Replicas on a majority of our preffered sites except for this minor detail. If it does not bother you, then please order as you would really need to be around people who study bags ( like us) to see the difference!!!

Buyer Beware! No site has the acurate Damier AZUR Replica...IN ANY STYLE!  To my knowlegde but we ill continue the search.

So you understand what we are talking about:

http://www.vancofahion.com/

http://www.sightfocus.com/

http://www.vancofashion.com/

http://www.cnreplicabag.com/

The above pics are various styles of the Azur Bags taken from different sites. The handles and  matching trim ( i.e the Galleria) are very light and do not darken in time properly. Otherwise the bags are indeed spot on.

Highreplica is not HIGH-REPLICA.COM!!!!

I saw a conversation on another post and wanted to clarify.

I HAVE been a victim of High-Replica.com. I ordered a few items from here and my money and items never came. THIS SITE IS INDEED A SCAM.

However....Highreplica.com now HIGHREPLICAMALL.COM is a great site that apart from minor replication issues on a few bags is one of the best sites out there. It is in my opinion a great site to buy replica bags!

Here is a link to a previous post regarding the 2 sites.

http://thereplicaguru.blogspot.com/2009/09/highreplicacom-vs-high-replicacom.html

I hope this helps! Please let us know if the reviews you read were actually from Highreplica.com. I have done several searches and found nothing thus far.

Thanks to that fab reader for doing your research and being an aware buyer!!!

Enjoy to all!

cnreplicabag.com - An update for our New Readers ~~~

Hello Everyone! HAPPY Tuesday...depending on where you are!

So I have seen tons of questions regarding http://www.cnreplicabag,com/, so I thought I would repost the link that will take you to my intial review of my experience with this site.

You can also read through the various comments etc, to help you determine if you want to order from here.

As I have said many time before...our friends at CNREPLICABAG kinda just mixed stuff together. Even though it says...7STAR, that doesnt mean the bag meets exact specifications. On that note however...that does not mean one should write off this site entirely. I like the site and they do have tons of wonderful stuff that you just have to take time to sort through.

Here is the link to our previous Site Review:
http://thereplicaguru.blogspot.com/2009/09/wwwcnrepilcabagcom-some-good-stuff-here.html

Since I love, love, love to look at pictures, here are a few bags and stuff from the site that I would love to get :

I'm  not sure if this will actually be in stores or if it was just a Fashion Show Piece. Don't buy this yet.....

These Loubous are very Cute!

I like this Gucci for Every day. Looks well made, A must buy!!!

Happy Shopping! Enjoy!!!

An apprecited note from a reader & contributer ~~~PLUS~~~ The Gruru's Response!

From Sara ( reader and appreciated Contributor)
Hi ladies, please dont all take this the wrong way but i feel this needs to be said. scrolling through some comments i feel that everyone is asking the guru what to buy,sometimes being a bit stroppy if not replying early enough. yes she has experiences and a good eye but she is only doing what we all could do, it feels like no one will buy unless the guru says so, we ALL have to take the plunge and buy something and share our experiences.It cant just be left to one person. If you dont like what you buy do you blame guru? if we dont we will never know what is good on one site and what is not so good. i have just read about the gurus friend who found iofffershoes good. I personally did not, my shoes were not leather and the quality was bad, if i had not taken the plunge myself before this site exsisted i would never have known what for me to avoid. manolos on this site are bad.Louboutins maybe great.

The guru does this in her spare time as she enjoys it but- as guru says not one site can offer everything, its a chance you take when buying counterfeit. im really not meaning to offend here but ladies be brave and try,(i know some people are) we have been given lots of starting points and guru cant possibly look up everything for us, this is a site for sharing, for all of us. the more who try the more advise we get and then we all benefit. happy shopping x

The Guru's Response

Hello Sara,

No offense taken! You are so correct!!!
Each of our experiences will be totally different. That is why the goal is to review and try as many sites as possible to offer just a starting point towards us buying our coveted Replica Bag.

I don't mind reviewing bags, shoes or whatever (it brings me such joy)...but what I offer is just my opinion (which I try to make clear when I make my posts, reviews e.t.c).

I spend hours, days and weeks researching a bag before I buy anything. I look for the best possible replica, trying to ensure that the fabric, hardware, stitiching, quality...etc is point on. This process does take time. I try to put in this same time (maybe not weeks...) when I review specific requests for readers as well. I try too.
 
As for doing this in my spare time...LOL!!!

I have 3 kids. A 3 year old...and 18mth old twins.... I have no spare time!!! LOL

I mean to offer way more reviews, site opinions etc but time runs away from me...which is why most of my posts are at 2am!!!
But I do enjoy this hobby of mine and take it very, very seriously!

I thank you all so very much for reading this blog. Please continue to share your opions and experiences. We can help each other! I really refer to the blog as "ours" because in truth no one person can offer all the answers!

Thanks again! Stay safe -
the Guru

I chatted with Alice Wu directly for confirmation.

Thanks Pinky and Ninarx! Great follow through from the both of you!!!

Site Review ~ www.salevogue.com/ BAD, BAD SITE!!!

I am not going to give this site any time. All I want to say is - If a site claims their bags are real...and they really are fake. Don't trust them. Period. Their goal is to commit blatant fraud.

Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes never, ever go on sale. Never wholesale. Never Online except LV and some Hermes (On their home site).

Just a friendly FYI!!!

And yes this site is going under Bad Reviews!

Thanks guys!

The HUGE Debate!!! - A total Must read for EVERYONE!!!

I've been following the blog at slight distance because I haven't had time to really respond to all the discussions taking place! I love that we finally have a place to discuss the Replicas we LOVE and hate!

There is a bit of a misunderstanding that I think we should clear up right away!!!

Which sites are the best???

First off - there is absoulutly NO perfect site. None.Zilch. Neiente. I am yet to see a single site that has exact replicas of every single bag, style or designer they carry. It's virtually impossible. Infact...it is impossible.

We are buying fakes. Lets not make it sound better than they are. The bags we buy are only as good as the replication process in place by the manufacturers and that depends on what they were looking at when they made the bag.

Site Reviews-

When you read my reviews of sites, you will find that I try to take a sample of the various designers and work my way through, picking out the most requested designers on this blog. I'm not sure it is possible to pick out every single bag and designer to review. So I randomly choose between 5 - 10 bags mainly, LV, Gucci, Chanel, Balenciaga, Prada, Fendi...etc ( I guess Kinda depending on my mood...but always atleast the top 4  designers I mentioned). I then list my finding for everyone to see, and hopefully you can make some opinions of your own. You will find on several of these reviews where I say.."Check out the Chanel...ignore the Gucci etc"...(because I likely found something wrong with a majority of that designer.)

Some sites do better with certain bags and not so well with others. I have totally bought LV's on one site but hate the quality and look of their Chanel bags. And vice versa.

I HAVE NEVER FOUND ANY SITE WHERE EVERY DESIGNER REPLICA IS PERFECT.

It really is a research game in our field of intrest. LOL.

Thats why this blog is so important. If we can narrow down which sites have the best what ... our life gets a little easier.

http://www.cnreplicabag.com/ : Please read my review of this site. Sanm...is not for everyone. For one its a Western Union only site. Not good for the faint hearted at all! Sanm is also one of the poorest communicators none to mankind. He is as sweet as can be, but he is also very slow. And most importantly...he has tones of 7Star Quality bags that have never been made and he has other random quality bags mixed in for good measure. Shop with care, but he does have a great selection and everything I have bought from him has made me very happy.

http://www.runwayhandbags.net/ : Where are they? I've gone ahead and requested a refund from Western Union. Anyway, These guys do have a better site, but some of their bags are " never been made". They also have a few...I wouldnt call them poor quality...but poor replicas. I have bought a bag here (way to soon) and it was just a bad replica. I didnt return it..but could have. Otherwise..everything I have bought before and after I have been happy with.

http://www.vancofashion.com/ : Great for accesories. Shoes etc. I have bought one bag here and was happy with it. However a lot of the pics they have are not that great so I avoid the bags.

http://www.sightfocus.com/ : I love this site. It's up there with runway and is were I will turn too when I get my Western Union refund. They do have some "never been made" bags and some questionable Chanels...but the rest look pretty good. Not all the Chanels are bad...the Gucci looks great and I'm happy with the Louis Vuitton.

http://www.eluxbag.com/: So If you shop almost everything but the "sale" section. I think thier stuff looks good. I think we are still pending a review of this site...but I like it. Just avoid the sale section!!!

And there are so many more...please check out the Site Reviews.

The bottom line is ...there are never any guarantees. If a pefect site changes a supplier...suddenly the quality changes and its over. So we must inspect each picture and share our experiences.

I hope all this information helps!!!

Thanks for reading guys!

More to come!

Please really study the pictures of each bag before you buy!!!

Site Review ~ www.ioffer.com - Lets not do this.

So I finally took the time to checkout Ioffer.com.

This is what I understand about this site...

Ioffer.com appears to be a host site (Kinda like Ebay) which allows various vendors, sellers etc to post their own sites and or goods for sale and trade. The problem I see with this site is that there are no policing systems in place to ensure that sellers are providing the goods or services that they advertise. In truth there would be no way to actually have a policing system in place because they cannot legitimately condone the sales of counterfiet (i.e replica) goods.
 But that is not our problem. Is it?

There are sellers that import their auctions from Ebay and that do have ebay ratings...but there can be no legitimate positive rating from ebay for what we want...

Anyway...I don't think there is any deal, or exclusive item that would actually make it ok for me to order from any of the sellers on this site.

Thats not to say that there are not legitimate sellers, nor am I saying that you cannot find some good stuff on here. There is just basically no way to determine which sellers are trustworthy and which are not.

The nature of the goods we are looking for anway is so...questionable....so unpredictable....

So I would say NO to Ioffer.com. But thats just me and my opinion.

What do you guys think?

Blog Updates!

Hello Readers!

I have received an almost overwhelming number of websites to review for our growing reader base! I am actually a little suprised by the number of followers we have on this blog! Thank You all for reading! I am hoping to get these site reviews out as soon as possible...so we can get shopping!!!

Because we have so many readers from literally all over the world, I have been focused on making minor improvments to yet again ensure we can all find information we need while browsing  http://thereplicaguru.blogspot.com

So what are these changes?

Site Reviews:
All reviews of sites on the blog will now have a topic starting with 'Site Review ' . If you ever need to find a review just type in Site Review in the Search this Blog search box...and a list of all our Site Reviews will pop up! Then you can just scroll through and find the site you are interested in.

I will always answer anyones questions (or I will at least direct you to the correct link) however this way you can search without waiting for me to respond.

Website Lists:
So the lists of websites can be found on your right side of the blog. There are 3 for you to look into.

Tried and True - these are sites that we have ordered from and are happy with the products, service etc. These sites actually work. Search Site Reviews for more information on what is good on these sites.
Good Reviews - these are sites that we have reviewed and that also look good but none of us have ever tried. Our goal will be to move some of these sites to our Tried and True.
BAD Reviews - the name speaks for itself. Either we've tried them and they are bad...or we never tried them but really disliked something about them. Period.
Languages:
 I am trying to figure out if I can get the site transalated to other laguages. Our readers are so diverse!!! Now that we officially have readership in almost every continent....we have to make the people happy! Yay!!!

Thanks guys for reading! Please tell your friends and please feel free to contribute!!! Hugs to all! Stay safe!!!

Site Review - www.replicatouch.biz - Not bad...a few things to avoid ...

So, I have tons...yes! Tons of sites waiting to be reviewed? Who knew there are so many replica sites? My goodness!!

Well, this site was recommended by a reader on one of our chats and I thought...well why not take a look?

Not bad! Here are some links to my favorite on the site:
http://www.replicatouch.biz/handbags/aviatrix-medium-black-jaquard-boston-bag.html
http://www.replicatouch.biz/handbags/beige-brown-crest-boule-top-handle-bag.html
http://www.replicatouch.biz/handbags/melrose-avenue-amarente.html


Things to Avoid:

No to all the Chanel Quilted 2.55 bags on this site. The other Chanels Look great. Same old issue with the alignment of the quilts...long story. (I am working on coming up with a good tutorial for this)

I would avoid ALL the items listed in the Louis Vuitton Seasonal Section....just because, some of them were never made, some are not acurate, and others are just way to rare for most folks to pull off. If you insist on one...I'd do the Scuba..in any color or size and the Flight Bags.  Maybe toss in the Monogram Monogramoflague for good measure. Otherwise...I would avoid ALL of them!

Over All the site seems good. If they have something you like...maybe get it. I will send them some emails to checkout what the service is like. Funny enough  I'm a little worried that the Customer Service number is Los Angeles...but otherwise...

If anyone tries this site please let us know how it goes!
