Twisted, look at the bales. Also that pink is not a color made by Bal. The blue looks a lot like cornflower, but it's still got weird bales. I've emailed Costco - anyone else? Let's start letting them know... Here's the contact form:

chi, you're slightly nuts, but I kinda want to see one up close and personal, too... ;-) If you order one, post photos!

Yes, I second that you are brave. Shouldn't someone let Costco know? I know they got in trouble a few years ago regarding a Picasso but I don't know about any of the bags. Has anyone seen any articles regarding fake bags at Costco or Sams Club?

LP -- you are calling me nuts? I am going to have mimi ban you for that. Of course, I will send you pics.

They say they offer refunds so I have nothing to lose. There is a Costco right near my doggie daycare so it would not be too much of a hassle to return it.

Guess we can report this to Balenciaga? Don't they now have some information on their website about reporting fakes???

Louisey, oh I see. I didn't know that Costco sells fake bags. Or maybe they don't know. It's just all weird.

[chigirl]

One other thing. If these are the same as the BlueFly bags, I wonder if there was a vendor that at one time sold the discounters like Costco and Bluefly authentic bags but is now selling fakes? I will give them a call. If they respond properly, no reason for them to get in trouble for being duped (assuming that is the case).

Oy, here we go again - this is just awful.

AHH!
I'm contacting them, hopefully THEY'LL at least do something about it!

I can do it. It is not like you really are an asset to the bbag community. I have heard that you have some sorta website about bbags but I really doubt anyone ever looks at it.

LP>> of bbags

Yes, here is a link:

Balenciaga

There is a phone number and e-mail address listed. I just e-mailed them and included the link to the fake pink bag on Costco.

I wonder too! Many on these boards know that BlueFly at one point did sell authentic bags...but then over a period of time...somehow fakes made their way in.
