Sample Sale: Fraud Alert!

So I headed out the Sample Sale productions event in LI on Black Friday. As usual, the line for the accessories section was LONNGG to say the least but I sucked it up and headed to the end of the line. After an hour of waiting, I finally entered the room.

At first sight I see Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga, Fendi- ahh just what I need in my life!
But wait a minute-at closer inspection I notice some of the bags are Knock-Offs!!!!

So how’d I know? Well honestly it was my friend that noticed :), She first inspected the look and feel of the leather. Leather seemed rich and soft; definitely real leather so it passed that inspection. A ha, the serial code! The Fendi bag she was inspecting had the authencity hologram as a sticker, this swen on to the REAL fendi bags. Also serial code #’s should match wherever being listed. This one surely didn’t.

That was enough to leave immediately . Damn I was pissed that I headed out side on Black Friday and endured an 1 hour long wait on line, but what about the people who actually purchased bags. Double damn, cause these bags weren't heavily discounted either; with prices ranging between $350.00- $1000.00—Ouch!

Moral of the story, always use caution and smarts when heading to sample sales.

Don’t be a victim of counterfeit bags!
