I think it's best to avoid buying from the sites as ebay or other online platforms except original brands. From the photo's you can not judge 100% sure that they are authentic. Fake becomes better and better. I myself normally buy from original boutiques only except for rare items as Hermes bags. These Dior bags will give my sister a good lesson. I told her to save up the money and buy from Dior boutique only. Spare me the trouble!!!

I would no necessarily say that. When you buy expensive items always be very critical and look into the history of the seller. Just a few items sold is no guarantee even if they are luxury sales.

Always pay with paypal, then you are covered and I have gotten my money back each and every time I received something faulty. I have not yet received anything fake from vc.

I've bought several times from them and had no complaints. But one time I've ordered a dress and found out it was too small. I've just tried it on and relisted it again (with the description, photos and other information from the previous seller. It'l like that when you just relist). Two days later it was sold so I've sent it back to VC for the quality control, tags still attached from the previous control. But it didn't pass the quality control! I've only worn it for two minutes and hang it untouched on a hanger! So VC sent it back to me. Later I found out that in the original description a dustbag was mentioned but I've never received it... So I wasn't obviously able to include that in my package.
Last week I've wanted to resell this dress again, now on my own. I've tried to be as complete in the description as possible and took the best pictures I was able to make. Guess what: they rejected it but gave no reason why! This dress must be cursed! I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. A few weeks ago I've ordered black boots but in the pictures they look bright metallic blue. And that listing wasn't rejected?
Sigh!

Yes, here are 2 Dior bags. One more thing, the label of the fake bags are sewn around and the fonts are bigger than normal which are not normal for authentic Dior.

Oh !
That was you who purchAsed the bag.. I wanted to buy because it looks like a good bargain.
But it's very sad that VS was being careless again. Or do they actually has the ability to authenticate those items!?? A big question marks to me though...

Helen, you need to try again. There is someone from VC always keeps the price very low. I had that a few times and put on VC again later and the price was accepted eventually.

Thanks :-) I actually just sold it on Designer Vintage since for just below the price I had in mind. A lot easier than dealing with VC and from what I see also a lower fake rate...seen (again) a Dior bag on there busted in the Dior TPF forum, but not many other stories of fake bags that slipped through their pre-posting check. They ask me a lot more questions at least to prove authenticity. But I believe every site will have issues with superfakes from time to time so best to always get third party authentication first.

I'm just saying if you can afford or can get from the boutiques, then better do. History of the seller is also a good way to check but not always. I see some sellers with high reputation on ebay sell fake and real mixed. Don't know if they got those stuff unknowingly or intend to do so.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of Paypal. Got very bad experience as a seller and buyer. I use only credit card and that always works with me.

VC is a good platform to buy and sell but they need to pay more attention to all the details.

Yes, that was me. My sister checked those 2 bags quickly by comparing them with Dior website. The weird thing is the details on Dior website are different from the bags they sell in their boutiques. I wonder if Dior tries to prevent people to do the copy?

And yes they are very careless. Even if the bags are not fake, the bags still have to return anyway. They are in poor conditions. Metals worn out, all 4 corners have seriously scuffed and lots of scratches. The sellers said never used and only a fee times used.

I have made the videos to show them everything and hope they would learn because that's the money of €2800 that they will lose and I know for sure the seller already put the money in her account.

Fake Dior bag again? I have a feeling that VC really has no knowledge of Dior bags or the fake becomes better? I must admit these 2 superfake Dior bags really have good work. The leather is exactly the same as original one as well as the hardwares.

I told my sister that if I don't get the money back from VC, I will get the money from her. LOL

The power of VC is their large choice and the active followers that post critical questions in case of doubt. But you have to be an informed buyer and there are counterfeits and sale objects at full price listed occasionally and you can't tell if they're authenticated as fine at VC after sale. Also if there's a real opportunity you can be sure it's not your's to buy even if you pay for premium. But you can avoid discussions with private sellers or buyers as VC is a buffer and that makes it worth not going through eBay.

Have you returned them to VC? If yes. Did they accept your return and give your money back?

Still have the bags with me. I contacted them last Friday and today. They said they wait for the headquarter to review this case and then they will give me the shipping label. I told them I will contact them again tomorrow and if they don't give me the shipping label, I will contact my credit card company and give the bags and all information of these purchases to Dior company. They are pretty slow and it seems to be normal there.

Thank you very much, fresher. I saw that you used to have an experience with returning Dior earrings. How long did it take for you to get a shipping label from them after you contacted?

They changed their return policy now. When the time I needed to return the earring, just one click, I don't recall that I need to send email or photos sort oh things.
But now you have to email them and wait... It should probably take 5 days ....
