Louis Vuitton: Louis Vuitton customer care, how may I assist you, sir?So, I read this article about the Red Cross thing and I'm afraid I recently also purchased a counterfeit. What can I do about it now?
Well, it's not like our lawyers will hunt you down on the street, but you will incur a penalty, indeed.Incur a penalty? What can I do about it? Should I dispose of it, or even better, burn it?
That's a tough question. Let me check with my superiors really quick.(It took her ages to come back. I doodled this in the meantime.) Hello? Yeah, so what should I do about my counterfeit item?
You can keep it, but you better not let anyone from customs catch you with that. So I guess you should refrain from traveling with it. OK, it's quite a pretty bag, you know. How am I supposed to tell the difference between a real and a fake bag from now on?
That's virtually impossible. What do you mean, virtually impossible?
The counterfeits of our brand are usually not inferior to original items. We don't have any authenticity attributes either, at least none that I could tell you about, because a layman will never be able to tell. However, the guys from customs are pretty well trained when it comes to that. So it doesn't really matter whether it's a real or a fake bag?
Well, that's not what I said. I just said, you can't tell the difference. Hmm, alright then, should I drop off the bag in one of your stores so I can salvage my conscience?
No, as a matter of principle we don't accept anything from anybody. OK, so if you guys from the luxury empire don't really care about anything, I guess I'll just hold on to it then.FELIX NICKLAS
