Online shop for designer purses - advice please...

I'm looking to buy my girlfriend a designer purse for her birthday. I typed in designer purses into google and the following site came up https://www.fashionbags.me.uk
It was a sponsored link and had a Luis Vuitton purse for £50.
Three questions for the fashion conscious:
1) Has anyone heard of this site or used them, it came up as a google sponsored link, does that make it safer to use?
2) Is this a good price for this purse, or is it TOO good.
3) If the above two are ok then would the lady MSE'rs like Louis Vuitton or are there newer/more fashionable brands out there (she'll be 25).
Many thanks for any suggestions :confused:

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Can anyone recommend a good site for wallets? Mine is looking past it and I'd love to get myself a nice big wallet with lots of storage space for cards and cash, maybe a designer one! :D:confused:

    A Louis Vuitton purse for £50 has to be dodgy, I'm afraid. If you are looking for something genuine, then I would only go either directly to Louis Vuitton, or to a higher end department store.

    I would agree with oliveoyl, if you are looking to spend approx £50 then I would go for a Radley.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • My wife bought a Loius Vuitton bag and purse from an LV shop, so knowing how much she spent I can tell you that the £50 purse you're being offered is dodgy with a capital D!

    Thankfully, she does also like Radley which is far more in keeping with my moneysaving ambitions.
    Everyone needs something to believe in.

    I believe I need another beer.
  • definitely too good to be true in my opinion!

    Yeah - I agree - Go for the Radley purse. I'm sure she will love it.

    TKmaxx? Since when did they do brands like LV?

    Where do you live? If you can get yourself to Bicester outlet, they have a Dior outlet and Jimmy Choo outlet, and sell discounted wallets bags shoes etc, and they are of course genuine!

    I have al ovely gucci messenger bag and that was £300 so you can see your paying for what you get in a shop, I wouldnt touch online shops with a bargepole!

    (btw im 25 and I dont like radley at all, but loads do!)

  • I didn't mean you could get LV at TKMaxx......I suggested it as a place to find other designer purses.....Smarty Pants!
