Does Bluefly Sell Fakes? The Fake Debate

| July 16, 2006 10:29 AM | Posted in , , , , ,

The fake debate continues and apparently our friends over at the internet’s number one designer outlet, Bluefly, is caught up in the middle. There’s been quite a bit of chatter on the net regarding Bluefly’s selling of fake handbags, namely Balenciaga and possibly fake Tommy Hilfiger (really, why in the world would anyone need to sell fake Tommy handbags when you can get them for $19.99 at TJ Maxx).

Now, I’ve bought things from Bluefly before and all the things I’ve purchased have been real. However, where there’s smoke, there’s usually a little simmer of fire. I emailed Bluefly to give them the opportunity to respond and here’s their response:


Yep, nothing….

It’s true.  They are sporting a necklace by Emma and Me Too which is knocking off of Emma and Me but they fail to mention that.  They try to pass it off as the real one which sells for 225 dollars and if you compare the pictures the diamond settings are different.

I’d be wary with Bluefly.  Some of the things are fake.

I just returned a Chloe Paddington that I bought from Bluefly. I am 95% sure it was fake or at best a second (if Chloe even releases seconds?), though it was an excellent fake. The differences were very subtle - for example the Chloe name on the padlock was not vertically centered, it was set toward the bottom. I did not take it to a store to verify, but I am almost positive it was fake.

YES, BLUEFLY SELLS FAKES!  I bought a Prada bag from them a year ago. I believed in their legitimacy b/c I seen ads in Lucky and Glamour, surely they would not advertise or endorse counterfiting?  The Prada bag had cheap leather handles..a day later the strap ripped!  I had one heck of a time with BlueFly. They refused to refund, I sent it back ..they sent it to a “leather repair shop” for three weeks that glued the strap!!!!!! It broke again, I fought for 7 weeks to get a refund minus shipping costs.  Take it from me- Plan a trip to a Outlet Center like Coach or Burberry, ect. Outta- of -this- world deals that you will not feel sorry for!!!  You know they are real!
