A reality TV star sold me fake Louis Vuitton purses

So I regularly go to a certain bootsale. I recognised one of the stall holders from TV. She was selling lots of name brand stuff and I spotted 2 LV purses, I asked her if they were real, she said yes. I thought because of who she was I'd trust her. Got home and cross checked the purses, turns out their fake. I mean it's not so much the money, it's the principal! I would have thought someone like her would have been trustworthy. I emailed her press management listed on her page, they've emailed me back stating they will process a refund. AIBU to be so annoyed?

How much were they? If they were dirt cheap then I wouldn’t be as bothered but if I had spent a lot I would be annoyed

Fair point about the MIC crew not knowing about a car boot 😂

higgyhog · 24/04/2019 15:27

Are you sure she was real and not a lookie likey?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 24/04/2019 15:28

"wealthy family"....hmm...im guessing Jessica Wright

DameDoom · 24/04/2019 15:29

Geordie Shore/ Towie types or a member of the Dyer Dynasty I reckon.

Ooh Love Island!

I don't even know why I am following this we wont be told who

Shimy · 24/04/2019 15:32

Kim Kardashian?

Helendee · 24/04/2019 15:33

Toff? Although I don’t know if she comes from a wealthy family.

DameDoom · 24/04/2019 15:35

Chelsee Healy. She looks the type.

RumerGodden · 24/04/2019 15:36

Big brands take sale of counterfeit seriously...you can get pinged by undercover brand agents and threatened with legal action for trying to sell fakes at carboot sales...dob her in!

A journo will be over soon to pick up the story- we'll get to hear about in the gossip column soon.

Aprillygirl · 24/04/2019 15:44

It's probably that bulldog-chewing-a-wasp gemma collins

Why the need for personal insults?

I'm surprised a wealthy person would be flogging their unwanted stuff at a bootsale,let alone fake shit. So who was it OP one of the Faier sisters maybe?

Why would you trust any reality TV show star? Their principal principle can't be truth. Or reality, for that matter.

LittleMissHappy19 · 24/04/2019 15:48

OP just say the name! It's not fair..
Why wouldn't you out someone selling fakes as the real deal..it's illegal!

Tell us!!!!

Elphame · 24/04/2019 15:48

Can't trust anyone. I just got stung with a fake Mulberry from a well known high street charity shop. They'd labelled it Mulberry too.

AlaskanOilBaron · 24/04/2019 15:49

Name and shame, please (placemarking).

qazxc · 24/04/2019 15:50

Katie Price?
Whoever it was might not have realised they were fake if they were gifted to them, and they are giving you a refund so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

Mrsemcgregor · 24/04/2019 15:50

How much did you pay for them? £200 each I would be annoyed. £3.50 not so much.....

UterusUterusGhali · 24/04/2019 15:52

Seeing as the premise of "reality" to is essentially a great big lie, why on earth would you think someone involved in that sort of fakery would be flogging real designer goods at a car-booty?

This is nuts!

IvanaPee · 24/04/2019 15:54

You have to give us a clue @Merrydoula

midsomermurderess · 24/04/2019 15:54

Go straight to the Mail, no? Hmm

pineapplepatty · 24/04/2019 15:57

Must be one of the Geordie shore lot

MayFayner · 24/04/2019 16:00

Toff?

Toff could never be dead-eyed!

Lucy? Please let it be Lucy 😂
