That's pretty much it. All the products come from Italian boutiques and shops. Italist.com is definitely not a discount outlet and no one should be receiving defective items!
The bag is finally here! And before I can even suspect that it's not legit or anything... I immediately fell in love with the bag. The leather was supple just right and smelled good. And don't even get me started with the redness of this bag! LOVE! It's the perfect shade of red with the blue undertone.... which is my favorite type of red.
The bag came with all the usual stuff: dust bag, care card, leather swatch
The only thing disappointing is the way it was packed. I opened the box and the bag wasn't even in its dust bag. They threw in a couple sheets of paper to stuff the box and that was it. But I was too excited to see the bag that I decided to overlook that.
I'll head to the Gucci authentication thread now to verify the genuineness of the bag,

Let me tell you a story:
I looked all over the internet for info on this ite but found NOTHING. They have some fantastic prices on Giorgio Armani bags. I was afraid of getting scammed so I emailed them and asked "what's the catch" and "why are your prices so low" and "why can't I find a single person who has bought from you?"
They were very helpful and sent me magazine articles about themselves and assured me they were on the up and up. So I decided to try it, totally expecting to get ripped off. There is a GA bag I want but I ordered a different bag, an older GA that was 360.00. as a dry run for the $1000. bag I really wanted.
So I added the bag to my cart and it kept kicking it out of my cart? I'm gonna get ripped off. Then I created an account and it went to my cart just fine. Oh well I haven't paid yet. So I add it to my cart and it won't give me a total with shipping UNTIL I PAY! Good grief this is going to get ugly. I email them, mind you they aren't open 24/7 like American online shops. I ask them why I can't get a true amount and they were very helpful but that's just how it is. So I'm thinking my $300 bag will end up being $600.
It took me 3 days to finally get the nerve to press that PAY button! This was my first international purchase so I didn't know what to expect. So Friday night I'm having a few cocktails with my husband, I get a little tipsy and go hit that PAY button. ERROR! Problem with your transaction. please contact us ASAP! Dear Lord please help me. So I contact them but you know it's Friday night and they're closed.
They get back to me Saturday and tell me my card put a hold on my possibly fraudulent purchase and to call them. My conscience is soo telling me to stop now, but I need that bag. So I call the card company and take care of it. Then I stew over this for a few hours and then I did it. I pressed PAY
And then the strangest thing happened. I got an instant email from Italist thanking me for my purchase and here's your receipt and heres an email to refer a friend and they'll get 25euros to spend and your bag will be there in 3-10 days heres your tracking number and it is leaving first thing monday morning.
It left there Monday and I just got it today(Thursday) and it is brand new and properly packaged and authentic and beautiful and smells so good. Whew!
So They are a lovely company, I give them 5 stars!
