Re: Planet LuLu Sale - Nov 28th
As per Sara's comment regarding fake jeans. Our firm sells Rock and Republic—as in a rep firm that calls on major department stores, etc.
We are quite familiar with Planet LuLu—and those were NOT fakes.
Unless you have a pair and can verify your claim, your remark would be considered slanderous! It is my understanding from corporate that this company is in A+ standing with the manuf.
Frankly, in the off-price clothing business, I would conclude that PL is one of the very few retailers that goes out of their way to not sell fakes. As a rep, they have turned down many offers in the marketplace if there was any quesiton about their authenticity.
I'm not a PL shopper—I don't need to buy retail or off-price given my position in the clothing industry. But I can tell you, the likelihood of having an authenticity issue with them is zero. Though I have heard of some shipping problems coming from them, though that's likely due to their popularity and that they're a small group.
The funny thing is, when people make claims about something being fake, they never really had a (pair or item), yet they make the claim thinking they are safe from legal action. (sorry, went to law school).
I wouldn't be suprised if PL went after people that made these claims. I know they have before. (it was posted on the Elle board by someone who got slammed by them and is now in bankruptcy, blah blah).
Oh, and you can email me if you have questions. I'm out of New York city in a boutique firm. My email is listed here at Purse forum.
Caveat Emptor—Think before you write. Verify before you claim!
PSS: If you have doubts about the authenticity of goods, ask for a certificate of auth. Most retailers have them. PL does! I've asked.
