Luxury handbags and other expensive products allegedly looted from stores during recent riots in France have started appearing on second hand selling platforms. Items from brands like Louis Vuitton, Celine and Hermes are among those raising concerns.
The online marketplace Vinted has reportedly seen a rise in suspicious listings following the looting. Designer bags, cosmetics and perfumes are being offered at heavily discounted prices, creating doubts about whether the products were legally obtained.
The issue has attracted attention as several luxury stores were targeted during the violent unrest. Pictures circulating online reportedly showed looted products being listed for sale soon after the incidents.
French Digital Minister Anne Le Hénanff has demanded the removal of suspected stolen goods from online platforms and called for cooperation with authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible.
Vinted said it had taken action against suspicious listings and increased monitoring. Experts have also warned shoppers to be careful when buying luxury products online, especially when brand new items appear at unusually low prices soon after the riots.
