When it comes to used designer handbags, authentic Louis Vuitton handbags are perhaps the most popular item around. Thanks to the company's exquisite craftsmanship and high quality materials, a well-cared for LV handbag could last a lifetime.

Because Louis Vuitton handbags are so popular, they also are a prime target for counterfeiters. The handbag market is literally flooded with fake LV bags, as well as misleading information supplied by unscrupulous sellers.

Here are ten quick tips that Louis Vuitton shoppers in San Diego need to know:
