Okay, so my cousin and I are walking at the Great Mall in Milpitas. Suddenly I saw a beauty through the window of the store called Boutique Italy (remember this name) across from Marshalls...
It was a GCH in a lilac color City. I asked the Asian woman if I could see the little beauty, *gasp*, when she took it out it was horrible!
It was a total Monet, beauty far away but hideous up close!
1. The leather? Awful, it felt like a cow mated with a plastic bag
2. Trimmings and pipings? Terrible, it was shipping and thick:blink:
3. Hardware? Disgusting! The bales were squared off like the infamous fugazis seen here.
Ok, I really don't mind when people sell fakes as long as the buyer is not being suckered, at least then they can make an informed decision, it's really up to them whether they want to buy a fake, it's just not for me.
So, before passing judgement, I asked the woman how much it was, if it was authentic (like I couldn't already tell) and where they purchase their stock. She was trying to sell it for $1095. Can you believe it?! She claimed it was authentic and she was 100% because it came directly from the factory! 
I wanted to kick her a$$ for being such a crook! :censor:
Here's the kicker! She saw my Black Beauty GSH City, and said
"Oh, you have one too, where did you get it?"
"Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas, this one's is real though!" I said, then we walked away.
Is there something that we can do to report there the replica sellers who claim authenticity??? Any help?
