I thought I was seeing things today when I was at Cosco and saw two gorgeous BV bags in the showcase. Has anyone here purchased one from a Cosco?

I haven't seen them there, but I have seen them on the website sometimes...

Are these retail outlets selling authentic bags? I thought Sam's Club got into trouble with some designer for selling fakes. I would really examine them closely. Maybe I'm too cynical and they are genuine.

I don't know about Costco, but Fendi sued Sam's Club (a Walmart company) in June, 2006 for selling counterfeit bags.

T.J. Maxx had authentic BVs. A friend of mine bought three there.

I must be shopping in all the wrong places. I've never seen a BV at Costco, Sam's or TJM.

The bags were enclosed in a locked showcase; I looked through the showcase as I was passing with a dropped jaw. The next time I go to Cosco if I have time I'll ask to see the bags.

I think you should report it to Gucci Group so that they can at least look into it. If it is authentic, no problem. If it isn't, then they'll have to pull the product.

I don't think they would be able to obtain the bags directly from Gucci Group, so my assumption is they obtained the bag through a third party seller.

I had no idea that Sam's Club was selling fake Fendi's, I remember way back when they were selling those, No..I did'nt buy one. Check out TJ Maxx Runway locations, they're not very many, and they have (hit and miss of course) Prada, Dior, Burberry, and I've seen one B.V. last year.
