There\u2019s been quite a bit of chatter on the net regarding Bluefly\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the chatter for yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To Bluefly customers \u2014 beware of fakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beware fake sold on Bluefly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I\u2019ve bought things from Bluefly before and all the things I\u2019ve purchased have been real. However, where there\u2019s smoke, there\u2019s usually a little simmer of fire. I emailed Bluefly to give them the opportunity to respond and here\u2019s their response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep, nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, at some point, Bluefly did publish a statement about authenticity on its website. I used to have a link to it here, it&#8217;s now gone from the interwebs. The next best thing is a statement about preowned goods <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluefly.com\/pages\/pre-owned-condition-guide\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bluefly.com\/pages\/pre-owned-condition-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available here<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-budget-fashionista wp-block-embed-budget-fashionista is-provider-the-budget-fashionista\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"a2v6gRUPtp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/fake-coach-bag\/\">Is Your Coach Bag A Fake?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Is Your Coach Bag A Fake?&#8221; &#8212; Budget Fashionista\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/fake-coach-bag\/embed\/#?secret=a2v6gRUPtp\" data-secret=\"a2v6gRUPtp\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-budget-fashionista wp-block-embed-budget-fashionista is-provider-the-budget-fashionista\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"dgXuqFewWt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/fendi-bag-fake\/\">Is Your Fendi Bag a Fake?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Is Your Fendi Bag a Fake?&#8221; &#8212; Budget Fashionista\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/fendi-bag-fake\/embed\/#?secret=dgXuqFewWt\" data-secret=\"dgXuqFewWt\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-budget-fashionista wp-block-embed-budget-fashionista is-provider-the-budget-fashionista\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"R89gp04ERH\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/gucci-bag-fake\/\">Is Your Gucci Bag Fake?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Is Your Gucci Bag Fake?&#8221; &#8212; Budget Fashionista\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/gucci-bag-fake\/embed\/#?secret=R89gp04ERH\" data-secret=\"R89gp04ERH\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-budget-fashionista wp-block-embed-budget-fashionista is-provider-the-budget-fashionista\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"qc6rYOrQdq\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/kate-spade-bag-fake\/\">Is Your Kate Spade Bag Fake?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Is Your Kate Spade Bag Fake?&#8221; &#8212; Budget Fashionista\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/kate-spade-bag-fake\/embed\/#?secret=qc6rYOrQdq\" data-secret=\"qc6rYOrQdq\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s note: This post about Bluefly fakes was updated to include more sources and Bluefly&#8217;s statement on authenticity.
