Fake bag from Vestiaire
Bought a red bottega hop from Vestiaire and had them authenticated it before shipping to me. (1st official authentication even though they claim that all of their listings have been checked by pictures) Received the bag, it has a distinctive odor indicating a counterfeit bag, these are the pictures for reference. Tell me your thoughts on the authenticity of this bag. The blue one I purchased directly from a bottega boutique so it is the real deal and the red bag I bought is 2 inches wider on the bottom. Sent the bag back with these exact pics and comments told them it’s a fake (not even a good replica) they checked the bag AGAIN (2nd official authentication after I challenged their first attempt). They refused my refund and relisted the fake bag for sale under my account. BEWARE! Always get a second opinion and don’t rely on their authentication service.
