A woman from Miami-Dade County has been arrested after detectives say they seized more than $1.7 million in counterfeit luxury goods from her home and a storage facility following a six-month investigation into an advertising scheme she participated in.
According to reports, 36-year-old Liudmila Perez-Labrada was booked Tuesday on charges of offenses involving counterfeiting private labels and counterfeit goods valued at more than $20,000 and involving 1,000 or more pieces, according to jail records and the arrest report.
She was previously charged with offenses involving counterfeiting private labels in July 2025, when Miami-Dade deputies claimed they confiscated almost $1 million in counterfeit Louis Vuitton products from her home.
The case began in February, when the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received a Crime Stoppers tip saying counterfeit goods were kept and sold out of her residence in the 3100 block of Northwest 81st Terrace in unincorporated West Little River. The Miami-Dade County Regulatory Affairs Division also notified the Sheriff’s Office.
An Instagram account named “Elegance and Glamour” was linked to Perez-Labrada, who placed orders for merchandise in the mentioned account, according to the report. Between February and June, an undercover investigator purchased four items using the account – a Louis Vuitton handbag, a Gucci crossbody bag, an Alo top, and two Louis Vuitton bathing suits.
The merchandise cost much less than retail. The Louis Vuitton Pochette Eva bag cost the buyer $211 instead of $1,460, and the Gucci bag cost $230, according to the report.
The buyer paid via a Zelle account, and Munekas Boutique LLC, the defendant’s business, received the funds. Brand representatives of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Alo examined the items and provided affidavits confirming they were counterfeits.
Detectives requested a subpoena for information about Zelle accounts associated with the number used in the transaction. Records from November 1, 2025, to April 14 reflected more than 570 deposits totaling over $112,000. Payment memos included brand and merchandise descriptions similar to those Perez-Labrada sold.
Detectives then obtained a search warrant and searched the residence on July 22. According to the report, a room in the residence was organized like a retail store, and the merchandise was displayed for sale. During the search, a lady came to purchase the counterfeit goods, according to the report.
She also told investigators she rented the storage facility, where investigators seized additional merchandise, the report said.
The confiscated items were marked with the logos of such brands as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Prada, Cartier, Hermes, Fendi, Burberry, Tiffany & Co., Yves Saint Laurent, Alo Yoga, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Givenchy, Goyard, Miu Miu, Tory Burch, and Chrome Hearts, among others.
“Private brand investigators determined that the total retail value of the seized counterfeit merchandise, had the merchandise been authentic, would have been approximately $1,743,045,” the report said.
As the Miami-Dade woman underwent major surgery recently, the arrest has not been made during the execution of the warrant, and they notified her that they would return, according to the report. A judge set her bail at $7,500 on Wednesday. She was staying at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
