Nobody was mean or rude to you 
You dug up a six year old thread in the LV for a without adding anything meaningful or new to it, just to disagree with what lots of people had posted there about Rioni being a copycat a loooooong time ago and say you´d rather spend all the money one LV cost in several Rioni bags instead. If that´s your opinion, that´s totally OK. What is not OK, and it´s rude, is to deliberately stir up LV lovers in "their" own board and then, when you (logically) find no sympathy and instead are confronted with a few objective and fact-based posts refuting your words, to come over here to complain how "mean and rude" some LV fans are to you. For instance, I´d never come to a specifically pro-Rioni thread to provoke Rioni fans and then run to another thread to whine about the negative reactions, because that would be quite rightly called passive aggressive behaviour. And none of us want any of that here, right? So let´s play fair... on a basis of reciprocity.

I actually didn't know that was a LV thread really , really I didn't , I thought thread was its own thread for real.. I actually appreciated your response . I don't recall giving out any stats on Rioni to refute?? The About Rioni posted i'm well aware as I have a couple of print catalogs. I didn't run over here to complain or whine, someone reposted this forum for me check out so i did. Sorry for responding to an old post that was new to me. If someone has something negative to say here about Rioni that's absolutely fine. Wasn't trying stir up anything . It's just handbags ...thanks again

Lol! I like Rioni too and I actually think it's weird that people think it's an LV copy because it looks nothing like LV to me. If I thought it looked like any other brand, I would say Gucci more than LV. But I mostly like it because it has Rs all over it and my name starts with R. I've had mine for a few years and the quality is excellent. No problems for me at all.
I can't believe someone followed you to the rioni thread just to sass you. Honestly sometimes people just take stuff too seriously...
Thank you sweetie I appreciate that I mean really....I like the double R's and it's cute that your name starts with R
I think I walked into a bee hive there... But it's ok. Thanks for the reply here's what I'm carrying today this is the one I bought brand new my 1st Rioni...Attachments

Lovely! I have the Boston bag in beige, but they have so many nice ones and the quality really is excellent and I'm very picky about that.
Could you share the location of this Rioni store? I was not aware Rioni was such a big company that they had stores with sales associates and everything. If it was a department store though, that's not the department store's fault. Also, many LV employees trash Goyard and other brands in store.
I'm just saying you can't always blame a company for the things SAs say. There are plenty of times when LV employees haven't been that tasteful.

There's a store in Alhambra, California. That's close to or where the mother company has its head quarters. That's the only official store I know of.
They also have stands at some trade shows. There was one just recently in Las Vegas. They sometimes announce those as they happen on their rather new Instagram account.
Some casinos sell Rioni.
The easiest way to find stores that sell Rioni might be to look at Youtube and Instagram. Sort of hard to find the info, though.
That's pretty cool! Thanks for the info. I just emailed them, I wanted to see if I could special order a bag in all-natural leather instead of the canvas (or vachette) with a metal zipper instead of a plastic one. Michael from their Client Services said he was going to see what he could do! I hope they can do it!

Not many followers, but this is the official one. They do post pics from conferences plus new releases occasionally.
Also occasionally check #rioni
Most of the results are from that area in Italy, so the bags are few and far between. But some are from stores. Some from consignment store and some from stores that sell Rioni.
Other hashtags worth checking occasionally, because not all use #Rioni:

I have look at some of these crazy comments about them, I had both LV & Rioni, and the speedy LV, to me looks like crap once warn to long with the sagging bottom and oil stained handles, that some girls carry just to say I own an LV, pls. put it to rest... I use my Boston Rioni and notice the bottom is absolutely in tack, and I've folded up my larger tote that I carry sometimes, and it always comes right back to shape!!! I have Tory & Rebecca Minkoff and a lot of others and 2 me it falls right in place with them, you can purchase them on the website, or ebay. N what's up with this rash info??
Just some people who are a little, how do I say this... "Extra"
I tend to think that rash info may have been slightly exaggerated. It was from years ago and I've yet to see anyone else say they got a rash from these bags.
I'm still using mine. Still love it and it still looks great. I love that it has feet on the bottom and that it doesn't sag, too.
I've basically been using it exclusively for a few months now because it's just so much easier than any other bag I own. I went to switch it out once but the other bag I was going to use was so fiddly and didn't have enough extra pockets so I knew I'd be constantly digging around in it and I just didn't want to deal. Went right back to the rioni.
Plus, I just no longer give a fig about what brand bag I use as long as it looks nice and is durable and easy to use.
