Omg, it’s just getting funnier and funnier… Here’s the response I’ve got after requesting the reason of declaring the bag a “fake”:

The item was counterfeit, because

**Counterfeit**
----------
- Packaging not conforming to the brand: dustbag
- Non-quality materials: low-quality grained leather
- Typography not consistent with the era
- Metal parts not conforming
- Engravings with defects
- Typography non-conforming on the metal parts of the shoulder strap
- Shape of the clasp not conforming.

What “era” are they even talking about??? It’s a contemporary designer bag (under €1000), purchased just last year via LUISAVIAROMA!
What brand was it?
 
I’ve just deleted my account. My last thoughts are, it WAS a reasonable company. I found their customer service very good. Then all of a sudden it just started to go downhill. Customer service agents used word salad or repetition to avoid addressing and answering your questions. Direct shipping? Avoid, they use it in any counterfeit claim ‘I note you used Direct Shipping……..’ oh dear. There are bargains to be had but never ever buy via Direct Shipping or a brand you are not well informed about. Good luck all.
 
Just bought 2 ferragamos from a seller. 2500 euros for both. Why sellers say they ship immideately after purchase and then ghosting...okay I bought it yesterday, but since then no update.
They do have 5-7 days to post. Ghosting could just be ignoring ie can’t be bothered. It’s annoying but 🤷‍♀️ keep on top of it though 🤞
 
Thanks! I had never heard of this brand. I took a Quick Look, it’s bags retailed prices around $1,000 and under. Hardly imagine any counterfeit would spend time making copies of non popular and low priced items.
Well, it actually has become quite popular in last few years, and it’s sold all over the world by reputable retailers. But I agree that it’s highly unlikely to be copied, and I really stumbled on their reasoning for it being a counterfeit due to “Typography not consistent with the era” as I posted earlier. What “era” are they even talking about for a new bag??

But most shocking of course is that they trust the buyer who sends them back the bag after OVER HALF A YEAR and not their expert seller, who has a history of selling quite expensive authentic luxury items! And their only reason to believe the buyer is the fact that she sent the bag under the reference it was bought with :mad: How does that prove anything???

And taking into consideration their extensive list of reasons “proving that the bag is fake” which I posted earlier, wouldn’t it be suspicious for them that the buyer, upon receiving the bag, wouldn’t be shocked by how different it was from my photos, and contacted them about it directly instead of waiting for 8 months??

I have bought 2 bags from here and the experience was good...they also are constantly having coupons/% off deals.

No experience selling on there although would like to try but kind of scared to based on some experiences read on here lol
 
Hi, I’m new on here and wasn’t sure where to post this. Has anyone had any experiences purchasing from HEWI (hardly everwornit), I’m looking at a bag on there and just want to make sure that it’s 100% legit! Thanks!
 
Not sure what’s happening here but this is extremely low quality fake with major inaccuracies. And it passed the verification. Vestiaire has zero interest in their reputation.
