Hi Harlem_cutie,
I was talking to some folks about Tory Burch products. Here's a question I have for you, since TB is Made in China, like all factories with excess inventory, there is a possibility that those factories end up selling their extra stock. I'm in India & I know for a fact that there are factories who manufacture big brands & sell their surplus locally. I've shopped a lot from these surplus export stores as we call them, and can say for sure they are the exact same as the ones sold at the brand stores. Now they may have various reasons for being surplus, sometimes the tags are incorrect, sizing on clothing, or just simply excess. Sometimes the factories have raw material for more than the ordered number of pieces & they end up making extra pieces anyway. So all these are then sold off through the unofficial or unauthorized channels. So, when the same happens with TB products, and you are asked to authenticate, how do you say it's fake or not, simply coz it may not have the correct tag?
I guess what I'm saying or asking is, apart from the tag, how can you tell an authenticate TB from a factory TB? Or do you assume it's an excellent fake.
Just curious.
Thanks!
