In addition to returning the money that the customer spent, the French fashion house was ordered to pay three times the amount of the bag, which was $ 10,50.

Louis Vuitton has denied the allegation. In a statement sent to local media, the French fashion house said it was appealing the decision.

The brand confirmed that it settled with the customer out of respect for the court order. However, the brand denied selling fake products at retail stores.
