I just packed up a fake Givenchy Mini Pandora to send back to fashionphile , it wasn’t even a great fake, the inside was obviously poorly done, the tag was not soft leather, the stamping was wrong, the lining was cheap and scratchy, the dust bag was an obvious fake from a mile away. This was only my second purchase from them and it is my last. I never post, but I’m pissed.

OP, I’m so sorry that this happened to, but glad you and others shared your experience with FP.

I’ve been lurking their site for a while and have thinking about purchasing since they ‘guarantee 100% authenticity’ but clearly this isn’t the case.

Not worth the uncertainty or hassle of possibly needing to return.
 
Yea I purchased a product from them and now am nervous, I never checked the authenticity when I brought it. I just trusted them. Any ideas to what I should do? Im not sure how to check this?

When you receive the bag have it authenticated. They might need a paid authentication with a certificate as proof. Get it checked here in the right forum first though. Good luck.

Fashionphile isn't like ebay, you don't need a reason to return if you're within 30 days and haven't removed the tags.
While it's disappointing fakes are getting through, their return policy is very generous and would give you ample time to have something authenticated. They guarantee authenticity because they don't hassle you if you try to return.
FWIW, I've purchased quite a few things on FP without issue. I've also returned a few things that weren't my style, and it was easy as pie.

I have had the bag for a couple months, I planed to keep it, and never thought to get it authenticated. I always buy new and this was my first time buying preloved. Ill see if I can get it authenticated on here.

You must be looking at a different bag. There is another Chloe similar. The one I am referencing has the same serial # and item # as the one I bought. I have spoken with Fashionphile and they have emailed me and they acknowledged that.

Im shocked at FP. Thats a really obvious fake, they must be out of their minds trying to pass it off as real!
I just checked the link. The bag on the site is not the same bag as in your photos. They have a real one on the site. You can see clearly the lock is not the same.
 
This is not the same bag as the one referenced in my post. Item# F0289540 was mine.
The bag you referenced was item #320770.

They emailed me that they finally took my bag down.

What is going on? Is the bag fake or real? ...

They’ve changed the price to $195 & as @Roie55 said the lock is different. The lock on the website photo appears to be in very good condition as the lock in OP photos clearly has signs of wear.

Yes, thank goodness you can return items for free within 30 days! You just need to get your item authenticated if you want peace of mind, unless you are confident you can spot a fake. So you can’t really trust their authenticators.
