I discovered something very disturbing last night when scrolling through JRB's IG page.
She sold someone a fake Chanel pearl bag from 19S.
I am 100% sure of this fact.
This is incredibly disturbing. A reseller who is selling thousands of items a year to customers needs to be able to properly authenticate the items they are selling. If they cannot do that, they have no right to be in the business of reselling handbags and other designer/luxury items to trusting customers who may not know better, and blindly trust that a reputable reseller knows how to properly authenticate. I understand that some items may slip through the cracks from time to time, but Julia boasts that the items she and her company sells are "always authentic".
The fact that she has this picture posted on her IG, showing this bag off and with a caption saying it has been sold and sent to a happy home, is even more disturbing because it implies that Julia still, to this day, has no idea this bag is a fake. Either that, or she is knowingly posting and selling fakes to people?
I feel so bad for the person that bought this bag from her, and I really really hope they will see this comment and demand a refund.
JRB should do the right thing and reach out to them and refund them, but I doubt she will, and even if she says she does I won't believe it without confirmation from the customer.

View attachment 5109136 < - comparison picture of an authentic pearl bag from 19S compared to the fake pearl bag Julia sold someone, with the very obvious tells circled. Look at ANY picture of the authentic pearl bag from 19S. The pearls are ALWAYS the same. There is no variation. The fake bag is 100% for sure a fake, there are no doubts.
Hello everyone,
I felt so sorry to have put Julia, her clients and anyone who are considering shopping with Julia through this horror. That bag is not part of Julia's merchandises. As much as I dislike being exposed, I want to clear everyone's concern. I have provided a photo here to show that i have this devious bag in my procession.
Having just lost my job, julia offered me a little job, in order to stay self-sufficient. I helped with content creation a couple months back. I brought the pearl bag in for a pearl edit. I had previously worked at Chanel, when I came in with it, Julia assumed I have purchased it from the store. I bought it from a consignment store in Paris, to be honest, i was over the moon when i thought i found this gem. With that hefty price tag and the full set was presented to me, i never thought to question the authenticity.
Sorry to have caused everyone this scare. Please dont blame Julia for my oversight.
