Previously a store selling replica Chanel watches appeared at this domain name. To prevent the owners of this site from continuing to take advantage of the public, Chanel took legal action. As a result of this action, a Federal Court ordered the store shut down and the domain name transferred to Chanel’s control. The Court also ordered the previous owners of the domain to pay Chanel over $500,000.00 in damages.
While the operators of the store previously appearing at this domain claimed that “our Replica Chanel Bag is made with special care to reach the level of an original one” this proved not to be the case. Examination of replica Chanel products sold by the previous operators of bagsbrand.com revealed they differed significantly from genuine Chanel goods. The materials the products were made of and the craftsmanship with which they were put together were not the same as Chanel’s. However, those poor quality issues did not prevent the website operators from offering 44 pages of replica Chanel handbags for sale.
One of the bags offered for sale, a Chanel 2.55 Double Flap Gold Hardware black Model: A1112-CG, was described on the site as “Very gorgeous CHANEL Leather Classic 2.55 Coco Bag. Designed by Coco Chanel herself. It is the most classic of all Chanel bags. Features double flap closure. It has room for everything!” That replica handbag sold for $189.00.
Another, also selling for $189, a Chanel Handbag Silver 6411 Model: 6411-Silver, was listed with the dimensions 11.8” x 8” x 4” (W30 x H20 x D10 CM) and described as coming with a fake authenticity card, dust bag and care booklet.
