I would appreciate any input into how to deal with Luxestyle.com because it was send internationally from them.

Can you guys be 100% Sure that the pointed Riri zippers wre not used on the older Venetia because this is a few years old.....

This was a genuine mistake on my part, we usually NEVER have this problem and now I am really stuck.... aswell as unsure that maybe pointed zippers MAY have been used in older bags...

Can you guys help.....?????

Sorry that this happened to you. Thank you for ending your auction. To my knowledge, there was never a black quilted Venetia made with silver hardware and beige suede interior. And yes, pointed riri zipperheads are not authentic riri zippers, these pointed zipperheads are made by fake manufacturers because the authentic riri company is very selective with who they contract with. My suggestion is to contact the store you bought this from and arrange for a return. If needed, tell them that the bag is fake, and that it has been authenticated. You can also suggest in the email that you will report them to the local police for selling fake handbags as it is a federal offense. You can start a new thread in the main MJ forum to continue updating us. Good luck to you, and let us know how it works out.

I thought I would clear this one up. I received pictures of all 3 zipper heads and the nameplate and it appears to be authentic. The seller was just a little clueless about the interior material.

thithi · Jul 5th, 2007, 10:28 PM

^ thanks for checking! It looked pretty good to me too... these sellers and their clueless descriptions, harumph.

Wow nocturne76. That's quite a list. Good job

bag-addict · Jul 6th, 2007, 08:20 PM

While this isn't an eBay auction, I'm all but certain that some people purchase bags from this website and list them on eBay later as authentic. And there are so many more.
