Authentic Designer Handbags Available Online

Online, April 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Bella Bag has achieved a reputation as one of the foremost online sites offering the sale of new and pre-owned designer handbags, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and others.

Whether new or gently used, each handbag or accessory is verified for its authenticity through careful inspection and analysis by an in-house staff of experts. In addition to offering bags for sale, Bella Bag also accepts consignments and trades of pre-owned designer handbags, and offers authentication services for consumers.

Many consumers may be confused due to the recent market saturation of counterfeit handbags, most notably Louis Vuitton bags. Since the early 1980s, genuine Louis Vuitton handbags have contained a six-character date code or serial number engraved inside the bag, often under a flap or tab. Gently used Louis Vuitton bags do not have tags containing bar codes and all Louis Vuitton bags are perfectly hand-stitched. Logos are symmetrical and always line up horizontally and vertically. Straps are constructed from genuine, untreated cowhide leather, always pale yellow or white, as in newer bags. The straps become darker with use. The newer multi-colored Louis Vuitton bags are made using 36 colors, while counterfeit bags contain approximately 20 colors. Many of these details are difficult for a consumer to ascertain if purchasing a new or gently used Louis Vuitton bag over the Internet.
