Fake Missoma on Vinted?

36 replies

Anyone else noticed lots of Missoma jewellery on Vinted that are being sold at low prices by unreviewed sellers? Presumably these are fakes - how bad would it be to go for it?

I love the look of Missoma but as it’s essentially fancy costume jewellery and I have a tendency to lose my jewellery, I can’t justify the prices. If it arrived and was clearly fake and awful quality would there be any protection from Vinted?

I get the impression that Vinted is deleting the sellers, hence no reviews. Honestly, I would love to buy authentic; I have two necklaces and a pair of earrings from Missoma already, but have mislaid another two and another pair of earrings - I can’t justify buying another with a 50% retention rate! If it looks and feels the same, I’m very tempted to go for it. I’ll check Vinted’s T&Cs to see what they’d do if it terms up and is abysmal quality and clearly fake despite being advertised as real

God, I must learn to read today. You said unreviewed sellers.

I wouldn't. It would be cheap for used Missoma, but it's not cheap enough to never receive anything or receive utter rubbish.

I reported something to Vinted this week that the seller actually admitted was a fake before sending, despite listing it as the actual manufacturer (Birkenstocks, in this case). Vinted didn't uphold the report.

Make of that what you will, but I wouldn't fancy your chances of any comeback.

In the case above, their review history was a bit patchy, so perhaps look at reviews and see if buyers were happy, or if there's lots of auto feedback?

Check t&cs OP

Sorry, realise that's not entirely what you asked. Personally I wouldn't knowingly buy a fake.

I don’t think there’s any doubt they’re fake - I’m ok with that if it turns up and it’s indistinguishable but if it turns up and is horrible quality, what would Vinted’s stance be if I were to complain?

I would definitely say that's a fake, from the packaging alone. I have this necklace from Missoma, and that is not how it is packaged.

(Have actually bought it twice, as bought one for a present too!)

Doesn't Vinted offer an authenticating service? Perhaps use this, and then you will presumably know if it's fake or not.

Interesting, there are soooo many on there so presumably people aren’t raising disputes about them so perhaps they’re not awful quality

It's against their rules to sell counterfeit goods, so I would assume you'd have protection if the seller can't prove it's authenticity
