hi dolcespressivo, thanks for the warning. but maybe you should have asked the seller for the actual photos of the items including all details and tags too? i am not related to the seller in question but i also received an email from my trusted seller (not from Philippines though) about this offer, which I think is exclusive to Hong Kong. i am not saying that the items being sold are authentic and i also dont have any authority to say that they are fake. i am just merely saying we should not judge outright. fyi too, i have also sent email thru Longchamp.com but i did not get the correct response. i think they are not aware of the limited edition and/or other offers from Hong Kong.

last time i wanted to buy a fuchsia tree of life from an online seller so i asked Longchamp.com if they are real. however, i was told that they dont release the ADV in that color blah blah and i think its the same person who replied in your email btw :)

but surprisingly when my friend went to HK, she was able to get one from the Longchamp Store in Sogo. i am sure that it is authentic, i still have the receipt with me. my point here is that Longchamp.com was not aware this is a special release from HK. so let's just be careful with our comments.

Hi Lcholic! I've been thinking of the same thing. That maybe Longchamp.com does not know of this offer since it is a limited ed one. Sadly, the seller also, appeared at femalenetwork.com and here too about refund issues... :( I've been thinking asking the seller about this issue, she said that receipts are not normally shown to buyers, which made me think twice... For now, I will contact the seller about this issue first. But I'm fretting because she might not return my DP or she might really be having some mix-ups of counterfeit items.

The item have not yet arrived, I'm just fretting too that if they item arrives and then I'll fully pay for it, it might be a counterfeit and it would harder to refund a bigger payment... :(

Thank you for the suggestion, though. :)

oh the part where she does not provide receipts is another issue because my trusted seller always provides the OR so i know exactly how much the bag cost and where she bought it.

well good luck with your purchase and hope you get a refund if the item being sold is proven fake :)

Exactly, she does not want to show the receipt because it was "something bad" for her since there are private information such as credit card information and the total.
I would like to stand corrected, I am not judging Therapybags for the reason that she has refunded money to a member here in TPF. It would be better to see the item first before deciding if it's a counterfeit or an original one. I accused her because from what I have read in 2 forums, but I hope you understand my concern as a buyer too. I have the right to scrutinize and ask whether these items are authentic or not and how it is proven.

She bought the item from Longchamp Sogo Department Store in Hong Kong. Same as yours lcholic. Thanks for reminding and suggesting me to contact the seller first.

Another statement for Therapy Bags:
The owner is NOW willing to provide an OR whether or not I buy from the online shop.

That's now coming from the owner, as seen in the SMS below:

Sorry for posting this again. But this would be the last regarding the issue.

I would like retract all the NEGATIVE statements I have presumed on the seller and the shop, Therapy Bags. I do not have the right to judge her LC items as counterfeit ones because I was not able to see the actual item yet. The seller has refunded me with the down payment amounting 2,500php I have sent even though it was not allowed to refund a DP. Also, she has now agreed to send the official receipt of the item I was supposed to purchase, even if there will be no transaction to prove that Therapy Bags do not sell counterfeit Longchamp bags. Also, the message sent from the the official Longchamp email is not a standard for knowing if the limited item is authentic or not for they are not affiliated with the seller and may not be informed about the limited edition package of Longchamp in Hong Kong where the seller has purchased it. It is MY mistake for judging her shop and not clarifying the transaction with her privately as I have made my preceding judgments to be viewed publicly in this forum. In line with this, I like to apologize for being an irresponsible buyer to the owner of Therapy Bags. My sincere apology to everyone I have caused trouble for posting here and to the seller of Therapy bags.

Guys, let's try to keep in-depth discussion of sellers off the main thread - the end result is generally a seller coming here to declare their integrity...some do it politely, but some don't. Still, whichever way it is done, it is not supposed to haPpen because seller-promotion (by the 1st or 2nd or any other person) is not allowed on authentication threads.
Please utilize PM for more lengthy discussions.
Thank you both for making very important points known.:smile1:
Let's all help keep to this thread peaceful and organized.
:ty:
