Skirt was listed as black but is actually a very dark brown. I like the skirt and will keep it but it was mislabeled. Also, delivery is a bit slow - took 10 days to get delivered. All in all satisf... See more

my order was returned by shipper for some reason I still wanted the item but was told it has to go through return process and then I have to reorder it and that is if I get to it first when it is re listed, that does not work for me

You photograph many things incorrectly and describe things incorrectly - sometimes not the correct Photos for the time to show important details to make the sale - it’s very annoying … and as a seller - discouraged to give you any more times to sell

Item came with duct tape on it

Item came with duct tape on it! Item was not in excellent condition as listed. The front decal was peeling off so not sure how the item “shows no signs of wear” as listed. Disappointed

Always excellent and consistently good

Always excellent and consistently good. Service, delivery and products are spot on. I like that you can completely trust their description of the item so you know exactly what you are purchasing and most importantly what you are going to receive.

The Lanvin dress I purchased was…

The Lanvin dress I purchased was stained. The dress was altered: most significantly the side zipper had been removed and sewn back into place on the outside of the side opening of the dress. It looks like lining of the dress was removed and all fabric edges have been zig-zag stitched to keep them from fraying.
Theses alterations are no doubt the reason for the discounted price I paid for the dress. However, these alterations were not specifically itemized in the description of the item, or in the photos of the item on your website.
I will not be returning the dress as I have the sewing skills to make the necessary repairs. However, in future, a thorough description and photos of such alterations would be appreciated.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards, Lynne

I thought I was buying a size 8 Gucci…

I thought I was buying a size 8 Gucci loafers for women but they are way too big so I think they are for men or are the wrong size and is actually a size 10 or 11 for women. Now I have to return the shoes at my expense. Very disappointed and am going to go to social media to alert future and current customers.

Nice bag; poor experience & little care shown

Like the bag but 1. Very delayed in processing order, 2. Real real not proactive in communicating re the delay and 3. very slow to respond to my inquiry about the status of the order and 4. in fact didn’t formally reply until after it has shipped 5. Bag arrived weeks later in a crushed inner Chanel box which was a huge bummer this happened with another purchase with real real better care should be taken given what you’re paying and purchasing
