Question on LV, GUCCI...upholstery covers...

At car shows, I see peole have these fancy LV, GUCCI covers for their seats, headrest...etc... Are they the real deal? Where do these ppl have them made?

No, this is not going to be for my car or anything on the car. I want to use them on different items so would like to know the source...

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

I think they're real and I'm sure any custom shops can do it. Why they do it though?

dems are fake. LV and any high end designer do not sell sheets of their fabrics. you can get a nice fake roll of it in china town if you want.

it's not real, and it's extremely ghetto.

check the "about us" page. all replicas. do you really think LV is licensing their fabric to be put in someone's civic?

You are right. The top designers do not sell rolls of their fabric, i have personally seen them hidden in China Town.

Thank you all for your help.

Agean, I don't know how you found that link, but thank you very much!
I wish they had that here in Chinatown, guys..would be so much easier...

Again, this is actually not car-related and no way i would do that to my car...haha... I just wanted to know for some other reasons, thank you!

have to order the fabric straight from the manufacturer. then have to find an authorized installer in your area.

someone i know bought LV fabric for $9000-15000CAD (can't remember exact price) and about $2000CAD for installation on an infiniti QX4.

those designers do not sell their material. the only way to get it authentic, is to buy bags/suitcases, rip them up, and use that to cover your seats.
