For the third year running, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and eBay have teamed up on the You Can't Fake Fashion campaign. This years bag designers include Diane von Furstenberg, BCBG, Prabal Gurung and Alice + Olivia.

SUPPORT THE CAUSE

After two successful collaborations, eBay and the CFDA are working together once again to raise awareness against counterfeit goods and celebrate original design within the fashion industry. Following an exclusive preview during New York Fashion Week S/S 2013, the new collection of totes, including one-of-a-kind designer totes customized by 90 of America's foremost designers, will be sold exclusively on eBay beginning March 18, with all proceeds benefitting the CFDA Foundation.

Combating the supply and demand for counterfeits and those who manufacture and distribute such items requires the coordinated efforts of the government, the fashion industry, law enforcement, businesses, and Internet users like you. As a major destination for fashion shoppers, eBay is committed to partnering to fight the global trade of counterfeits.

On eBay, a designer bag is sold every 4 minutes. eBay Fashion offers a vast selection of authentic fashion at a great value, ranging from major designer brands to luxury labels and emerging young talent, in addition to exclusive collections from designers like Narciso Rodriguez, Derek Lam, Alexander Wang, Rebecca Minkoff, and the 2012 eBay Holiday Collective designers: Billy Reid, Chris Benz, Fallon, Jonathan Adler, Ruffian, Steven Alan, and Tibi.


The embellished bags will be available at auction starting at $100, while the non-designer, standard totes will have the "buy it now" price of $50. Check out the full range on eBay come Monday, March 18, at 9am PT.
