Angiem Posted July 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Can someone tell me if the designer handbags in the Belize shopping center on the pier authentic? This store is inside the little mall and sells nothing but handbags . Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbie Posted July 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I purchased a nice purse for my mother at the shop in Belize. It was a very nice red Channel bag. They cannot be the real thing. They are too cheap; even for a third world country. Although, most of them are nicely made, and do have all sorts of designer names on the purses. I hope this helps.

doctordi Posted August 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I know that the Coach bag that I looked at wasn't authentic because the top of the Cs touched. But it was still nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmomoftwo Posted August 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just left Belize. Designer fake handbags galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prisc777 Posted August 8, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2013 We saw tons of Chinese products in Belize (which we did not see in Mexico)...so I guess a lot of stuff is fake/copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbie Posted September 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I returned from a cruise three weeks ago. I brought my mother back a Coach bag. You won't have any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loucat Posted September 13, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Our 6th trip to Belize and little change this year. Knock off bags galore. If you find the real thing I would be surprised. There is one shop that sells quality Belizian goods. I have never found much in any of the other shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.A. Posted September 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2013 So is the shopping good in Belize? Or is it just like all the other Caribbean ports? Our ports on this cruise will be Cozumel, Roatan & Belize. Which has the best shopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ports on this cruise will be Cozumel, Roatan & Belize. Which has the best shopping? The shopping in Belize is ok. You will find much more in Cozumel. If you are cruising on Carnival, you will not find any shopping in Discovery Bay (Roatan). Roatan doesn't have a lot to offer in shopping IMHO. II hope this helps.

We won't be on Carnival we'll be on Princess. I'll be sure to save some time in Cozumel for shopping. ;) Have you ever seen any knock off Louis Vuitton handbags?

Derbie Posted September 25, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I believe I saw Louis. There are several purse stores in Belize. Take a look around; however, I believe a couple of them are owned by the same person. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyDivot Posted September 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks for the info. I'll look for the shops on the Pier. Maybe I'll add a Fraud-a to my Faux-ch from China! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutport Posted October 5, 2013 #16 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would urge you guys to do a little research on these fake bags. I don't give a crap about the money lost by the Design houses, I doubt they even would lose money and fakes even give them free advertising. But buying fakes are perpetuating the sub standard working conditions of the people in China, often times they are children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
