Thanks for the info. I did not see anything about her specifically in the threads, but upon reading the comments on some of the sold bags, some seemed a bit sketchy. Unfortunately, since the bag is listed as sold, it cannot be authenticated in the AT Hermes thread, but I will certainly get it authenticated when it arrives. I also noticed in the comments that one of her bags was rejected by a buyer due to undisclosed damage...

It seems that if your bag is found to not be real, it will be a hassle to return it etc. I would consider using one of the recommended online authenticators who only charge a nominal fee-and do so before the bag ships.

This is an excellent idea! On the bright side, this is one benefit of the very slow process at VC. Thanks!

No news at all from the Chanel purchase with Vestiaire collective... How long does it take them to send the bag to me? Seems fishy....

Have they updated you if they have received it from the seller as yet? I have bought quite a few items from them, the longest I had to wait to receive was about 2.5 weeks. But now I do read some stories that 30 days waiting is normal 😐

Yes, get it authenticated when you get it. I would use bababebi.com to auth it.

Good luck!

wow, I did not like it at all, I am in Canada, purchase did not involve a LOT of money but still:

I just bought two Hermes twillies from them, offered a seller nice price, $125 instead of $137, was happy because those are hard to find (LEGENDE KUNA PEOPLE DE PANAMA). When she agreed I paid at once + $40 shipping, and I immediately contacted VC main website about shipping. They stated generally they used post or DHL, and I begged them to use regular post - hey ! two pieces of silk with no boxes in an envelope, $40 shipping should cover regular mail and to be honest Canada Post often just does not look at all parcels and I get them with no duties. . NO, they responded that they did not know who would dispatch, FEDEX or DHL because those they only use for North America, NOT regular post. few days later as I expected DHL comes with a thin envelope, and for my $250 purchase they added $125 in all DHL taxes, duties, everything (and I already paid full $40 shipping on the top of it) . One twilly was the same I have, I wanted another on for the pair, but the other, even though it is made of the original earliest issue of scarf, I see it is from Hermes scarf, it had no small tag on it, and it is a centimeter wider than twillies. Well made but not like other Hermes twillies. I am stuck with this purchase, they told me that I could have refused to pay DHL taxes, and they would post them for sale on my VC account.....I paid thinking all will be OK, now I decided to let VC go to $#@#$ without arguling with them at all any more, and NEVER to bother again. I did see the twilly maxi I was looking for, it is $400 !!! so much more than on hermes.com, but because it is a sold out colourwar cavalcadour in orange, however I would not dare touch their website ever again. For European customers it might be fine.

Sorry for big rant but ........I had to give you a fair warning, i know that you are after a very expensive goodie, and don't want you to get a nasty surprise

Sorry it happened to you. I learned that buying from VC can be expensive after DHL and duties.

I just have bought a bag from VC and the seller is in USA. After reading your post I was careful about the duties and I have checked on line and have learned that to receive it in the UK I would have to pay twice as much in comparison to VC charges. So I have paid to them.

But I have received a LV silk scarf today. Described as in very good condition. I shall attach some pictures now. SO you have a look at their very good condition full of stains and pulled threads:throwup:

Can you imagine, this is a "very good condition" scarf! :wtf: So I am sitting here and really do not know what to do with it. On one hand I was looking to find this particular design for a very long time. On another hand.. G-r-r-r-r-r!:mad:

Thank you ladies, you just put my mind straight.. I even had second thoughts on it, maybe taking it to a dry cleaner and see what happens. I just wanted this design so badly! :crybaby: Now I think this was silly. I have to return it. I did drop them an email with pictures, but I guess this is just a time wasting. I am going to get on to PayPal and will be returning it ASAP. They were great to help me to recover my money last time and I am certain they won't fail me and now. In the mean time.. If any of you know where I can get this model, please, let me know, it will be much appreciated :girlsigh:

So glad you paid with PayPal! They have been great in the past with getting me a refund when I was sold an item that did not match the description. Good luck!
