Editor’s note: This post about Bluefly fakes was updated to include more sources and Bluefly’s statement on authenticity.
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).
Check out the chatter for yourself:
- To Bluefly customers — beware of fakes
- Beware fake sold on Bluefly
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.
But, at some point, Bluefly did publish a statement about authenticity on its website. I used to have a link to it here, it’s now gone from the interwebs. The next best thing is a statement about preowned goods available here.
