I just bought a Mulberry Bayswater from a trusted Swedish auction house.
When i took it out of the bag at home something felt wrong.
I got it authenticated here as "definitely fake". I went back to the auction house and made a claim that the bag is fake.
After reading up on internet, visiting Mulberry store, borrowing a friends Mulberry Bayswater I am about 90% sure myself that the bag is not the real deal, and i have a feeling of which parts that show its a fake.
Today i got a call from the lady that is responsible for authenticating and valuating fashion at the auction house and she told me a bit smugged that the bag is a real Mulberry. And she told me that she took it to a "contact" that been working with Mulberry bags for 20 years.
Of course they have "everything" to loose if the bag is fake, and they have a conflict of interest. They have no interest in proving its a fake, but all interest to prove is not. I as a customer claim its fake, they are really sure its not and try to assure me that their "contact" is the real deal. They havent really given any evidence or given it to a impartial authenticator.
My boyfriend called back to get the name of that lady and to ask for a authentication certificate. We hope she calls back tomorrow since she didnt answer her phone.
If they dont want to accept its a fake. What more can i do to prove it? Go to a Mulberry store? Is there any good websites or persons i can contact for help?
Anyone else here that has the same experience?
I dont want to have the bag, i just want to get rid of it. I got if for a good price so i can re-sell it online. But i dont want to re-sell a fake bag, and i want to prove them im right. Im a bit frustrated right now and feel like that representative has all the power. I dont know what to do!
