About Nespanza

This domain, nespanza.com, was previously used to sell replica Chanel handbags. Items like a “Chanel Classic Black Patent Leather Small Silver Chain” for $599.00, a “Chanel Classic Handbag Small Camel Caviar” also for $599.00 and a “Chanel cambon pochette” for $285.00 were sold under the tagline “you can shop with confidence knowing that authenticity is guaranteed.” But, of course, authenticity was not guaranteed as these were sellers of replica Chanel handbags, key chains and purses.

In order to protect consumers from those seeking to pass off inferior goods for genuine Chanel products, Chanel filed a complaint with the court on January 12, 2009 against the operator of this and other websites. By June of that year, the judge in the case entered judgment in favor of Chanel and ordered the website operator to pay Chanel over $150,000.00 in statutory damages and fees.

In addition, the website operator was enjoined from “using any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of the Chanel Marks in connection with the publicity, promotion, sale, or advertising of any goods sold.” Further, the domains used to sell the replica Chanel goods were ordered transferred to Chanel so they could not be used to sell replica Chanel goods again in the future.
