The police have been targetting websites selling fake luxury goods and have taken down over 5000 such sites since last October. They also issued some guidance:

  • Check the spelling and grammar on the website, as well as the URL - people running such sites often do not pay a lot of attention to that
  • Look to see where the trader is based and whether they provide a postal address - just because the web address contains "UK", do not assume the seller is based there
  • Only deal with reputable sellers - use sites that you know or which have been recommended to you. Check online reviews if you have not bought from the seller before.
  • Check the website is a legitimate stockist by visiting brand-i.org
  • Ensure the website address begins "https", which indicates it is secure
  • Don't access links in unsolicited emails; always type in the website address or use a search engine to find a site.

https does not denote authenticity as such.  The only part of a site where https is required in the address is the log on/personal account/transaction bit, which has to be secure.  Typically, the rest of a retail site is open to all and won't be secure, it's only when personal information stored, recorded and required where security is necessary.
