Louis Vuitton Behind YouTube Video Takedowns???

Could Louis Vuitton be behind a recent slew of YouTube video takedowns filed via legal complaints? Several content creators have reported getting notified by YouTube that Louis Vuitton videos were removed due to vague "counterfeit" allegations, but not being provided any specifics as to why. @LulaWestLuxe & @TheGalsGuideBlog share how it happened to their channels and we all have questions for this luxury brand...

Thanks to Lula & Alyssa for sharing their stories! Be sure to follow them on social media:

[JenniferJayde-MalibuJayde]

Thank you all for coming together and sharing your stories! Putting together and posting videos is a labor of love and to have them taken down for no real reason is very frustrating. Stay strong and keep up the great work❤

I think they are trying to discourage the YouTubers who buy the product, do a video on it and then return it.

[OrangeIsTheNewBag]

Do you think their real target is the secondary market sellers like The Real Real?

THIS 24:25 THIS is such a good point. The secondary market has changed so much after social media became more dominant in the 2010s. I have in fact refrained from selling my 20 years worth of luxury bag collection because the market has become so volatile in many ways, making it riskier not only to buy for also to sell preloved high end bags and other fashion items.

[LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much for coordinating this discussion, Jen! I’m blown away that this is happening … hopefully this will spark a wider conversation on this topic in our community.

[impursehappy]

TFS this great information. I can’t believe LV would have YouTube to take down creators videos especially when they’re showing authentic LV products.

[TheGalsGuideBlog]

Thank you so much Jen for helping us share our stories!! ❤

[myluvlux]

They need to come for those DH Gate videos if this is in fact the brand behind striking videos. I’m so over those raggedy videos coming up as options to watch (no shade if buying replicas is someone’s preference).

[designeratheart]

I believe if they trademark or copyright, the content creator can counteract with the fact that they bought the item and are rightful owners of the item and can do as they please…….

[janetr]

I have never understood how replica/counterfeit videos are allowed. They are blatant counterfeits.
I just watched a Birkin one the other day and wondered why it was allowed since counterfeits are technically illegal.

[mithmith]

Sadden that this is still happening... Chanel has been doing this "consumer-silencing" act on social media for sometimes, now LV is following suit. These multi billionaires really have the power, money and time to track and silence on us common people who's just trying to share a view, review, opinion on our social media platforms. Truly a bully. More strength to you ladies, and us, the common everyday people!

[tairema]

I just seen another video where another small content creator said the same thing she did a current update of her LV collection that was doing well in views and she got the counterfeit email.

[faronsm]

Love Alyssa and her channel! Interesting video

[anniesbells]

Vote with your money, we can stop buying from these brands directly. And let them know why. Buying pre-loved at least puts a little money into the previous owners pocket.

[BlahBlah-szne]

Online info via a video on recent changes/improvements to popular bag models that are frequently copied could be seen as informing and empowering the counterfeit market to keep up with changes or conversely could be an issue for counterfeiters as it informs the public to help distinguish fakes. Information is power in many ways and in time maybe brands just want the public to experience product in their stores or on their or other authorised websites

[AllAboutPurple]

The answer is yes, brands do that all the time, which is silly too. Content creators are giving them free advertisement. 😁

[mauishopgirll]

This is so disturbing. I do take issue with promoting counterfeits but this seems more like violation of free speech and anti trust/price fixing. We should be allowed to sell and buy items secondhand . And to discuss it. I wonder if YT does any real investigation before they take it down. I’m much older and I can remember when in the US it wasn’t as common to purchase designer goods. Social media has helped, not hurt, the brands. Bags and accessories are the cash cows.

[nikki-monster]

so i feel like maybe the fashion houses do not want creators to discuss all the features and changes to the bags because it gives the replica makers the upper hand in making the changes to keep their items as close to the real thing...

[WineNHandbags]

This happened to @amberashleigh as well! She posted a video about it and she suspected that the removal was due to comments on the video posted by counterfeit bag companies.
