I purchased a LV replica after reading the description of the handbag. It stated "real cowhide leather". After receiving the handbag it was obvious that the straps were vinyl. I received the email stating I should send the bag back with a $50.00 value. No way! I spent $372.00 on the bag & wallet. I disputed the charge with my credit card company, and they stated NOT to send the bag & wallet back since it was illegal to mail counterfeit products. I won the dispute and got to keep the handbag for free. I ended up giving the handbag and wallet to a thrift shop and told them it was not real.
