Time Out HERE....$80 FENDIS... !

You would be lucky to find a Fake Fendi for $80 OFF 5th must have gotten A Volume Discount mainlined from China... You would be hard pressed to buy them at Ioffer at that price... I can't imagine those bags are anything but of Non-Fendi origin.

I think it depended how big the bag was. My bag was Four hundres something. The only reason I got it for $342 was b/c of my coupon. And you don't think you are getting jipped for $80 cuz they are from Saks....so that would explain why we all didn't haev any reservations about buying from there!

Yea, I remember mine said original retail of $399, and Off 5th price was $199. I didn't have a coupon, but I did get the promotion for opening an account. But still, $80 is very very cheap for a Fendi.

I don't blame you guys at all. If it was me I would have also assumed they were authentic. So you don't need to feel silly.

I would have believed it too cos sometimes things do get reduced drastically. I remember when Myer here was changing owners they did a major clearance of stock and I picked up RRP 820 AUD (approx 650 USD) Marc Jacobs shoes for 80 AUD (approx 65 USD).

I wonder if we can get a Mod to move this thread to the regular handbag section. I think more people should be reading this. If Off 5th was selling fake Fendi, what other fake brands were they peddling??

Now I am worried about my sunglasses too. Yes, sunglasses are not zucca bags. But, ladies, I shall really post pics of the case of the sunglasses. When I got the case, I was like, huh?????!!!!!!!! are you kidding me?? but, I didn't say that to the SA in off Saks. Well, my English is not that good and I am really afraid that it's only because i am not too familiar with the glasses. Oh well, I am wondering, would you mind helping me authenticate my glasses if I post them here? Thank you

^OOOH yeah post pics plzzzzz!!!

***UPDATE!!! I talked to the manager of my Off 5th and shes going to return the bag!!! I just need to get my statements, my best guess is they are going to put it back on my card, which I will then go downtown and buy my LV speedy 30 from Saks or just request a check be sent to my house!!!

Daloo & hopefully soon Tatania, My hats off to you both for getting things right with Saks and for raising everyones awareness of this unethical practice at OFF 5th...Horrible!

Be careful ladies, if you purchase a Fendi (& I expect also a Prada) bag at OFF 5th, get it authenticated here at PF to make sure its the real deal.
