About Me

Handbag collector. I've been collecting designer handbags for over 25 years. I buy vintage pre-loved and have enough real bags I can pretty much authenticate most designers myself, once the bag is in my hands.

How I Can Help

Experienced with getting my money back from fake sellers. Use Pay Pal, Ebay or a credit card. Take lots of pictures. Know what you're looking for. YouTube is great. Know your hardware, stamps and stitching if you are buying pre loved bags!

Interests

Hand bags travel, reading, movies

I purchased a Prada handbag from Rhubarb & Lemon, and they sent me an obviously fake bag. They weren't even trying to hide it. The hardware on the bag was two different colors, one of the emblems was glued on upside down, and speaking of glue. The PRADA was glued on uneven, and you could see the glue under the letters. Rhubarb & Lemon then gave me the run around until they totally ghosted me and then Lyst gave me the run around and then ghosted me. I have currently opened a case with my credit card company. Stay far, far, far away from these two companies!

Tip for consumers:
They allow vendors to sell fake designer handbags and have no service to protect consumers.

This business is in the illegal trafficking of counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbags. I purchased a "new with tags" Louis Vuitton GM Turenne from Emily Nguyen for $1475. 00 and she sent me a fake bag through the US postal system. I contacted Paypal and opened a case to get their assistance in getting my money back. They told me I had to obtain an authentication report on the bag. Once I had Authenticate First authenticate the bag (came back fake, had to spend $70.00 for report) I went to Tradesy website and looked at the pictures of the listing again. It was obviously the same bag I sent pictures of and it was obviously fake once I knew what to look for. A week later after I worked with PayPal to get my money back and not a "site credit" which Tradesy is famous for trying to pull, I noticed Tradesy removed the pictures from the site and removed the listing from the seller's listing of "sold" items. I believe this is an attempt by Tradesy management to subvert any federal agencies that may open up an investigation. That is OK, I took screen shots of the website and any federal agency would be able to subpoena their records. I am going to contact as many agencies as possible and do what ever I can to assist in the prosecution of the criminal who sold me this fake handbag. She states on Tradesy she owns a nail salon and I went on FB and found her salon and saw the areas where she took pictures of the fake bag she sent me. I hope the government can seize her salon for using it to traffic in illegal goods. If you are the victim of an illegal trafficker on Tradesy, remember the law is on your side and if you call your credit card company or Paypal they can assist you in getting your money back Be careful!
