The Sacbelle Store
Claiming that all their products were "100% brand new and authentic" Sacbelle sold many different styles of replica Chanel handbags. Among the styles offered were a Chanel Bucket Handbag in Black, Pink or White for $475, a Chanel Cambone Multi pocket Snakeskin Reporter Bag for $1,2000, a Chanel Camera Bag in Black, Pink or White for $489 or in Snakeskin for $584, a Chanel Classic Handbag Black for $590, a Chanel Classic Black Handbag Medium for $645, a Chanel Classic Black Handbag in Patent Leather for $615 and a Chanel Classic Handbag in Black or Brown for $545. All of the replica Chanel handbags sold by Sacbelle came with fake serial numbers and authentic cards.
After Chanel obtained one of the handbags sold through sacbelle.com there was no difficulty in telling the difference between the replica Chanel handbag and the real thing due to the inferior workmanship and materials used in the replica Chanel handbag. Specifically the the strap, the exterior and interior features of the handbag, including the mark, label, serial number sticker, card, and dust cover are dissimilar to those used in connection with genuine Chanel handbags.
In order to protect consumers and prevent future victims of counterfeiting Chanel filed a lawsuit against the operators of Sacbelle.com on June 5th, 2007.
