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!

Ohhhh, just the type of event I live for!

Lucky Magazine is hosting there yearly Sample Sale of ALL Sample Sales. Yeah, you gotta cough up some cash in advance but this is an event you will NOT want to miss!

Go to www.luckyshops.com for all the details

Happy shopping!

Sample Sale: Advisory!

So one of my fave sites on sample sales, Top Button posted an seemingly amazing sample sale. Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Cavalli and Bluemarine- All at way below retail prices. Knowing me, I ran over there quick fast.

Fraud! All I could find where items by "Blue Girl." Boooo.

I can't beleive I missed my 6:30pm express train out of Penn Station for this...
