There is no law against buying and using a fake designer bag for your own purposes, but it is against the law (I think) to buy fake bags for the purpose of selling them, especially if you try to pass them off as the real thing. So you can carry your fake LV, just don't try to sell it!

Well i dont know if buying it is against the law.
However i know that selling them is
I live in New York and i often go to China town and all the shop owners always stand outside and tell me that there is fake bags in the back of the store and they would tell me to go in and check it out.They hide them from police.

It's against the law of fashion which is just as worse.

Yes, counterfeit goods are illegal in the U.S.
Here are websites w/ more information:

Knock offs (similar design but no claim or identification as actual brand are okay but cannot be identical design w/o logo).
