I havent ever in my life had someone accuse me of this and it really hurt, i actually felt sick to my stomach after reading their email. I guess they feel they needed to email me to tell me my gustto baca is fake (WHICH IT IS NOT AT ALL!)
it was bought at the clothing line sample sales in NYC and it is truly a sample, it is a color that hadnt made it into production until recently, and is now only avail. on their website, and because it was a sample from about a year back, the gustto studs dont have gustto engraved in them, which bugged me when i bought it and so i contacted the person who runs the sample sales and was sent this email:
Hi B,
This email is even in my listing, I have no doubts of the authenticity of my bag but it makes me SO sad that someone felt the need to accuse me with what they think is proof that the bag is fake
here is the message I recieved:
HI,
I AM NOT SURE WHO WAS SELLING THIS AT THE SAMPLE SALE BUT THIS IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC GUSTTO BAG. THESE GUSTTO BAGS ARE NOT MADE IN MEXICO THEY ARE STRICTLY MADE IN AMERICA AND IF THERE ISN'T A HUGE LEATHER TAG THAT IS SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE BAG UNDER THE ZIPPER THEN IT IS NOT AUTHENTIC. ALSO, EVERY GUSTTO BAG THAT WAS EVER MADE HAS GUSTTO ENGRAVED ON THE OUTSIDE GOLD BUTTONS. SO, I AM NOT SURE AGAIN WHO SOLD THIS TO YOU BUT THEY RIPPED YOU OFF. SORRY. IT IS A NICE COLOR BUT NOT GUSTTO. THE REASON WHY I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE MY SISTER USED TO WORK FOR GUSTTO AND THEY USED TO GET CALLS ALL THE TIME ABOUT BAGS AND PEOPLE USED TO ASK ABOUT THE MADE IN MEXICO. SO, I AM SORRY TO GIVE YOU THIS NEWS BUT I SAW THE RED AND IT CAUGHT MY EYE AND I LIKED IT. BUT THEN I SAW THE REST OF IT AND I COULDN'T RESIST TELLING YOU.
OK FIRST OF ALL! There is a clear picture of the tag that they are saying every gustto has, right under the zipper, so i dont think they even looked through the listing
THEN: there is the email to explain the studs, which i know is not typical of gustto but i dont have any doubts of it being authentic,
THIRD: This color is avail. on gusttos website!
and FINALLY THEY ALL SAY "designed in America" Not made in america, they are made in Mexico ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EIther way here is my email back:
I am sorry to tell you but your sister doesnt know what is talking about. First as far as color, please go visit www.gustto.com
go to collections along the bottom, then choose web exclusives and go to the THIRD page you will see in the bottom left hand corner the red gustto baca, please be informed before you go around claiming you KNOW something wasnt ever made in that color.
Second if you take the time to read my listing this was purchased from clothing line sample sales in NYC please feel free to contact gustto they themselves will tell you they supply the gustto bags directly for the sample sale and the reason my gustto does NOT have engraved studs is because it was a sample before the red was made for production.
THIRD Please look at the pictures there is indeed a HUGE LEATHER TAG under the zipper that clearly says GUSTTO DESIGNED IN THE USA< and if you know anything about gustto NONE of them say MADE in america they say designed in america and are made in mexico. ONCE again PLEASE feel free to contact gustto directly and ask them, they will ASSURE you the bags are made in mexico.
please be informed before you go around accusing people of selling fakes i have never in my life sold a fake and never will and am fully offended by the accusation.
also please feel free to become a memeber of the website www.thepurseforum.com there are a TON of knowledgable bag fans MAANY who have bacas and can assure you they are made in mexico (even search their website without becoming a member) this has been discussed MANY TIMES
sorry that your sister and you have been misinformed,

Hi B,
We run sales directly for the manufacturers. The Gustto bags come directly from Gustto. We do not
get them from third parties. We sell the bags on consignment for Gustto. I am not sure why your
Gustto bag does not have embossed studs. While the majority of the bags we are selling now are
from stock and are current, we do have a few that were past seasons or samples. Maybe your bag
was one of those.
We do not allow exchanges on the Gustto handbags. The main reason for this policy is so no one
can exchange a knock-off with one of our bags. Unfortunately there are a few bad seeds out there.
This policy guarantees any bag we sell are 100% authentic Gustto bags, because 100% of the bags
come directly from Gustto.
