Looted luxury goods from Paris protests flood online resale markets
Luxury items stolen during recent protests in Paris have started appearing on online platforms. Looters who ransacked boutiques of Celine, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Sephora stores have begun large-scale resale of new, tagged goods. Handbags and accessories worth thousands of euros are being offered on resale sites at reduced prices. Some sellers on social media do not even hide the origin of the items, openly stating in ads that the goods were 'acquired' during the riots.
