RLCV

Replica Chanel Case

After becoming aware of the RLCV site Chanel acquired a replica Chanel handbag from the site's store. Examining the item found a number of things different from how a true genuine Chanel handbag would be, including the hang tag, interior labeling, some hardware, as well as the workmanship and materials used to make the handbag. A replica Chanel watch box was also examined and found to be the wrong size and color and not made of the right materials to be a genuine Chanel watch box.

Before filing a case against the operators of the RLCV replica Chanel store they were contacted with a cease and desist letter. The letter demanded, among other things, that the RLCV operators cease and desist all sales of replica Chanel products. The letter further demanded that the RLCV Defendants contact Chanel's attorney within 10 days and confirm in writing they would discontinue all purchasing, sale, and distribution of products bearing counterfeits bearing the Chanel Marks. No response was received from the owner of the RLCV.

A case was filed in court on April 28, 2008 to which the defendant never responded. On October 23, 2008 the judge in the case entered a final default judgment and permanent injunction. The judge awarded Chanel $951,353.28 in damages and forbade the operators of the RLCV website to make or sell replica Chanel products. To make sure that his order would be followed the judge granted ownership of the domain to Chanel.

How can I tell if something is replica Chanel?

Unfortunately, Chanel cannot provide information on exactly how replica Chanel products differ from genuine Chanel products since sellers of replica Chanel products could use that information to further deceive the people.

There are simple steps that you can take to protect yourself from buying a replica Chanel product made with low quality materials. If the deal is too good to be true or described as "AAA quality," "7 Star" or "mirror image" than you are likely being sold replica Chanel and the product is fake and is illegal. The only way that you can be certain that you are purchasing a genuine Chanel product is to purchase it from an authorized Chanel retailer.
