Tommy Hilfiger
Does Bluefly Sell Fakes? The Fake Debate
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….
The Scoop on the Wal-Mart/Tommy Hilfiger Situation
The scoop on the possible Wal-Mart/Tommy Hilfiger “partnership” from one of my secret informants
“No news yet on Wal-Mart buying Tommy Hilfiger . . .It’s something else . . . people who rep tommy are nervous b/c they do not know if is the end of a great job for them, but walmart took out a 19 or so page spread in Vogue last month . . . everyone is wondering if walmart is trying to change their image to upscale? The ground reps know nothing . . . and the merchants who buy the tommy lines are pissed . . . or confused is a better term b/c they want nothing to do with items that Wal-mart ‘could possibly have.’”

Shopping News: Wal-Mart to Buy Tommy Hilfiger?
—There’s a rumor that Wal-Mart is looking to purchase Tommy Hilfiger. If anyone knows any more details on this, please send me an email. It looks like Wal-Mart is positioning itself to compete directly with the Mizrahi brand at Target.
—The ultra high end luxury site, Net-a porter is launching a magazine with the first volume coming out in Spring 2006. The cost of the book/magazine/catalog is 25 pounds (about $40-$60 depending on the exchange rate). I imagine it’s going to be like the much coveted Neiman Marcus holiday gift book. I’m excited because I can finally afford to buy something from the site.
—Lifestyles of the Poor and Unknown isn’t the name of my autobiography, but a site dedicated to giving poor and unknown folks as much recognition as the rich and famous. Not fashion, but pretty funny and I had to just share it with you.
—The Shoe Stor site is giving away 100 clear shoe boxes to one winner from their mailing list. The contest ends Oct. 28th.
—For moms—Fresh off an appearance in Woman’s Day Magazine, SwapHandmeDowns.com is well on its way to becoming THE online community to swap used children’s clothing. Visit the site for more details
