Fashion FAIL: Justin Bieber’s FAKE Louis Vuitton – How We Got the Story
About 4 years ago, Louis Vuitton announced its plans to discontinue the custom orders division of its luxury brand. This meant they would no longer accept custom orders for bags or clothing from celebrities or the public.
This news came at a time when Kanye West’s custom $6,300 LV backpack was all the rage on the blogs.
I wanted a smaller version of that backpack, but a rep at the Louis Vuitton corporate office assured me that LV would “probably” resume accepting custom orders “in the future” (this was 3 years ago).
So imagine my surprise when I saw the pictures of Justin Bieber wearing what appeared to be a custom made Louis Vuitton jacket to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week.
Thinking the future was now, I called the corporate office ready to place an order for my backpack. But the rep claimed not to have any knowledge of the “custom” jacket that Bieber was wearing. So I emailed the rep a photo of the jacket and waited for a response.
10 hours went by before I heard back from the LV rep who pointed out that the jacket Justin wore was a counterfeit.
Last night, Inside Edition spotlighted our post on Justin Bieber’s fake Louis Vuitton — and the hip hop community took notice.
Any hip hop connoisseur knows that rappers have a longstanding love affair with luxury brands. Grand Hustle general manager Hannah Kang points out that stylist Groovey Lew dressed rappers such as Puffy Combs (pictured above), Nas, Rick Ross and others in fake Gucci, Louis and MCM clothing.
But the times have changed, and now Louis Vuitton is aggressively pursuing anyone who infringes on the high end brand — including rapper T.I. who was sent a cease and desist letter for waving a Louis rag in his video for the song “Swing Ya Rag (Louis Rag)”.
The C&D was sent out after Louis Vuitton held a release party for T.I. vs T.I.P. inside its Lenox Mall location in 2008 in Atlanta. Not to mention that Louis Vuitton has dressed T.I. in the past.
So if LV threatened T.I. with legal action just for waving a rag, doesn’t it seem strange that the fashion house would not notice Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith parading around in fake LV jackets for a month?

hey huns!
Well, Sandie, I am proud that you are getting some shine, and are obviously being wonderfully paid.
I mean, that razor ad alone keeps trying to take over my screen and attack me……..
I don’t watch Inside Edition or any of those other shows.
Congrats anyway.

Auntie,
My advice to you would be to start worrying about that house bill that they’re trying to pass in congress to censor the internet. That pertains to YOU directly… And what are we going to do without Sandrarose.com?
I wouldn’t be able to live without my peeps making me laugh everyday.
I be watching the baggage handlers and I must pass on LV luggage faux or otherwise. I kinda want the carryon becasue then I know it won’t be mistreated so badly. What yall think? They even monogram it for you while you wait, comlimentary champagne and sandwiches. yeayuhh!!!
@FayFay (tatted’s bay bay) I almost humped the screen when i saw the pic of you and Mister… Ilove to see happy couples. Oh them cherries had me ready to tear theclub up everytime I saw them. I have the LV sneaks in the multi color situation. Knockoffs made me leave that shoe/backpack in the closet until recently.
LaShelle & PSP!!!
how yall gawjus ladies doin on today?

#whoopingkidsisatemporaryfix
now that is exposed!!
there’s justin again w/ that infamous laura winslow and nia long cut. i had one in the 10th grade…
I brought my first real LV bag when I was high school, I saved us for that bish since middle school. It pays off to buy the real deal, I’ve dragged the hell out of that bag since 08/09 and not a seam is popped. Let that have been a knockoff, it wouldn’t have made it past week 5. But my arse was sitting over here thinking maybe Beibs’ stylist took the material from an actual LV bag and just stitched it onto the coat, IDK.

U know what? I logged back in just to tell you to get lost.
You already kilt me last week with the “wrapped with a claw rake comb” look at night like the black girls. JUST GOOOOO. Erry time I look at “Beebah” (Ozzie Osborne voice) now Imma be looking at his hair.

Was UP SR
Am I wrong for actually like’n Justins jacket
So Sandra, does this make you a snitch?
I am saving to buy me one… I went and looked at the store in Phipps…I hate seeing people with the fake ones but they be proud. Its kind of like wearing cheap wave… Atlanta is like the melting plate of everything knock off… I seen a LV bag with a combination lock… that girl seen me rolling my eyes…
jazzyiest says:

Nope, blame Justin for not taking off his Levi sticker… I blame usher he should have encouraged Justine to waer Vans or Doc Martins… chit colored folks don’t pay attention to.
congrats on make mainstream news.
ok so this might be a dumb question, but if the jacket is made from real Louis Vuitton fabric isn’t it real (in a sense)? as long as the fabric isn’t counterfeit. he could have cut up a duffle bag and just sewed it on his jacket. i knew people who cut up bags and glued the fabric to their shoes back in the day when that was the style.
Sandy… You should update this post to state that is NOT CMO from Goodie Mob . If you go to his page you will clearly see that. We here at Sandra Rose only like to post accurate information & nothing less

Good job ‘detective’ Auntie! Louis Vuitton owes you some goodies just for helping them out!
big ups Sandra for being the first to report this. and it does seems strange LV would call out EVERYONE but Justin Bieber until it’s brought to their attention. certain celebs always seem to get a free pass when it comes to the media; glad you called dat a$$ out!
