Good to know! Thank you so much!

I never have. Do you think that you bought a fake from Saks?

I will say that when I bought my first black coffer from Saks online, it came with some loose stitching and I took it back to the actual store. The store (in Palm Dessert) didn't carry Miu Miu and the SA was saying, "My what a pretty bag! Who makes it?" Well, he took it without an inspection whatsoever, didn't check for authenticity cards or anything.........just took it back and refunded my money. So I guess it's very possible that they take back fakes by mistake. Kind of scary huh?

yes, i do remember haven't read something about fakes there on here, but i can't remember what brand(s) they were.

RoseMary · Jul 3rd, 2008, 07:24 PM

wait, you mean Saks or SAKS of 5th avenue, isn't there a difference?

Same thing I think. I think that it used to be called "Saks of 5th Avenue" and eventually it shortened to just "Saks Fifth Ave" or just Saks.

RoseMary · Jul 3rd, 2008, 07:38 PM

okay, but there must be something else with a similar name, something with Saks but more like an outlet store...

pradalove · Jul 3rd, 2008, 07:50 PM

Saks fifth and saks of fifth avenue are a little different

pradalove · Jul 3rd, 2008, 07:52 PM

Oh yeah.........I forgot about "Off 5th Ave"!! Great store with great prices. I wasn't aware that they had a problem though.

So when you return something to the regular Saks store, what do they do with them? Are you saying that they don't resell them? WOW

. Maybe that's where alot of these eBay stores get their merchandise, huh?

pradalove · Jul 3rd, 2008, 08:20 PM
