is this true? 50% off LV for some businesses....

[babygirlv]

I have this friend who loves to rub it in my face that she knows where to get designers for a good deal.

she says she knows this guy whos works for a company that gets LV products, Sak's fifth avenue, and juicy couture for 50% off (online only) because of the guy's company apparently offers these family & friends discounts..

Could this be possible??? 50%?! I think its a load of crap...
and if its true.. damn, i feel kinda pist i just spent so much on my bag!
what do you ppl think?

I think its BS

 

[babygirlv]

yea, dont SA's get like 30% off or something?
I think she said it was some marketing company or something..

 

[basicandorganic]

Definitely is BS.

If it sounds too good to be true ~ it probably is.

 

[petitemn]

Absolutely no way.

Exactly or shady in some way!

 

[DeliriousDamier]

Yeah...I highly doubt that. I've heard that even SAs have to work for quite sometime before they are allowed to use their discount.

 

[Ms_Max]

Impossible.

 

[babygirlv]

okay. good. because i didnt think that LV offers discounts like that either... even if its like 30% off.. companies cant do it, right???

I would imagine the only circumstance in which LV would do something like this is IF a large h/e dept store sold LV but didn't have an LV store within the dept store, say, Neiman Marcus or something like that, but not for a small independent storefront. Now, you mentioned Juicy Couture, that is a likelihood...other independent designers like Juicy or Rebekka Minkoff and the likes could very well offer wholesale to stores or others who hold a valid resale certificate. I'd imagine that's how this guy gets other brands at 50% off, which is a fairly common wholesale price but LV doesn't sell to independent sellers and independent store fronts.

Yes its true that these people who work in dept stores can get discount but not on high end products. I heard that LV staff would get small discount too but only like 5%-10% something like that.

I think it is a scam. Probably a counterfeiter.

don't feel pissed that she got "discount" on her bag. you have the money to shell out for your lv. she doesn't.
