A reality TV star sold me fake Louis Vuitton purses

[Merrydoula]

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?

Yanbu to be annoyed - WITH YOURSELF
You’re getting a refund, how is anything annoying other than they fact you were gullible enough to buy fakes?

This is so unreasonable I’m actually laughing.

Let me get this straight... you went to a bootsale and bought knock off LV bags and you’re surprised!? You’re very lucky to even be getting anywhere with any kind of refund!

I reckon Vicky Pattison - now furiously stalking all their profiles to see what they’ve been up to the last few days (if any of them actually update in real time!)

Jodie Marsh? Whatever happened to her?

Are you ok? Of course its not real. I suggest she was joking.

Well , if it was a reality TV 'star' I would probably not know them anyway and would not recognise them at a boot sale or anywhere else.'

Didnt I read this story on The Sun website yesterday 🤨🤨

How much did you pay for them?

You have to be very knowledgable to spot a real LV. They are the most counterfeited brand on the market. You need to know about date codes, pattern variation, even barely perceptible differences in the font on the stamped label tag.

The Oxfam shop next door to the place I used to work next door to would bring bags in to me to authenticate (and get first dibs on, which is how I have a vintage Gucci which cost me £8 and was reissued last year at over £1k). Not one of the LVs were real.

However, I was fortunate enough to pick up a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag for £1 and an Issa wrap dress (original, not HoF rubbish) for a tenner at my local boot fair, so it does happen.

I bet it wasnt til it said Louise Vittan on them that the penny dropped eh OP? Still a bargains a bargain right?

Mary Berry.
Got to be.

you did make me laugh!

You’re getting a refund, why are you so annoyed?

Not so long ago a ring someone paid ten quid for at a car boot sale a number of years previously turned out to be a 26 carat diamond and sold for well over 600K at auction. The woman that bought it thought it was costume jewellery.

Jordan? She's nearly bankrupt isn't she so could be carbooting!

AmIbeingNaive Presumably they brought them to you to verify so they could charge high prices if real, so how did you end up with a Gucci for £8?

Katie Price for sure (if this ever happened that is).

I wondered that. Unless you said it was fake?

Anyway. Reality TV star not 100 percent honest shocker.

Just to clarify, what I posted is 100% real.

As real as the LV purses OP?

So who was it then?

@AlunWynsKnee

I just googled Jodie Marsh and came across her FB, she's made a video in bed with Katie Hopkins and is flogging some nutritional supplements.

The first thing I saw on her page was a huge tattoo of Michael Jackson, I wonder if she regrets that now?
