I received an excellent fake
Gucci bag from Modabelle. For those who think they're receiving authentic goods... I'm not saying it's impossible, but get out your fine-tooth combs. These are amazing fakes, selling at Gucci outlet and Gucci boutique sale prices, so it seems legitimate because the prices are still quite high. When an online retailer has several pieces of the same item in-stock, the item is only from last season (not last YEAR), and the item is sold out EVERYWHERE in the country at its original retail price without ever making it to the sales, AND it has all fake controllato cards and dust bags, as well as more than one defect, however minor (which often requires a trained eye to spot)... great chance you're paying a lot of money for a CHINESE import... not ITALIAN. Modabelle is selling knockoffs... at least to me.
It is possible that "John"- the rep I spoke to regarding my defective bag (didn't mention yet that I know it's fake)- doesn't even know that what he's selling is fake, but I'm skeptical about that.
I was promised a full refund upon return, so the success of that is yet to be determined. I will keep my fingers crossed.
