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?

I'll never understand the worshipping of the celebs, z-lists included! Are people that naive?

NunoGoncalves · 24/04/2019 16:15

If you couldn't tell the difference, then does it even matter? 🤔 🤔

ZippyBungleandGeorge · 24/04/2019 16:17

The OP is from London I think so TOWIE probably, MIC new brigade more likely than the original lot who actually had family money. Geordie shore etc less likely due to location

CripsSandwiches · 24/04/2019 16:20

Why would you think a reality tv star would be trusty? I can't see the correlation there.
Presumably because they're recognisable so there's a way of tracking them down if they're dishonest.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 24/04/2019 16:25

wealthy family wont be any of the Geordie Shore lot.

Babuchak · 24/04/2019 16:27

Pippa Middleton!

Grin Grin Grin

as if any Middleton would be seen dead at a bootsale, but it would be funny

Bantameggs · 24/04/2019 16:27

Can you give us their initials at least?!

Bantameggs · 24/04/2019 16:29

I always wonder if the Chanel and YSL etc. bags the TOWIE girls carry are real

Probably as real as their nails, eyelashes, hair and tan. And boobs.

Ridiculous statement OP. What did you expect at a Boot sale?????

sleepyyetawake · 24/04/2019 16:31

Oh come on don’t fall for this thread. The OP purposely will never post the name and gets off on you all begging her.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 24/04/2019 16:34

You can't demand a refund and name-and-shame. 'Snot fair.

Babuchak · 24/04/2019 16:38

it's probably another of the vloggers that no one had ever heard of on here Grin

or their neighbour!

viques · 24/04/2019 16:51

Jo Brand thanks for the laugh, I can see Jo with a stash of designer bags in her wardrobe, probably hides them in spare cake tins......

I reckon it's an Ecclestone, very dubious family credentials imo.

LittleMissHappy19 · 24/04/2019 17:12

My money is on one of the Towie lot..they are known to all buy fake bags and shoes!

Babuchak · 24/04/2019 17:18

bet it's Theresa May, sorting out her wardrobe before Brexit.

BuntyBonus · 24/04/2019 17:25

For all those saying nobody would ever sell genuine bags at a car boot - around 10 years ago I paid £15 for a Louis Vuitton and a Gucci bag. I had them verified and sold the Louis Vuitton one for around £600 and the Gucci one for around £200. Unbelievable but true!

Harleyisme · 24/04/2019 17:26

Definately theresa may sorting out for britex

ShiveringCoyote · 24/04/2019 17:36

Bet it was Nigel Farage

ShiveringCoyote · 24/04/2019 17:37

Getting rid of all his Europe stuff.
