storefronts selling fakes?? *urgent*
Permalink Closed

so i just came across a clothing boutique in williamsburg, ny called "the jean bar" and everything in the store was soo cheap.  They had dolce vita sweaters for $35 dollars, joes jeans, citizens, true religions, antik denim, for no more than $100 each, linea pelle belts for $35.  And I was looking at a Francesco Biasia bag for $60, the owner told me that everything is real and that the bag I was looking at retails for over $300 online.  I put the items on hold since I work 5 blocks away and I have been looking for the bag online ever since and cant seem to find the exact item. 


Do you think the items in there are fake??


need to know asap! want to pick up my dolce sweater and francesco bag if it is real.

Well I'm not to sure how they could possibly stay in business selling authentic merchandise at those prices.

are they damaged or a different season?  thats my only guess as to why they're so cheap- unless they are fake.

yes it is!!, well...i did end up buying the dolce sweater and the francesco bag...ill post pics sometime tonight or tomorrow to get some feedback from you girls.


btw...the owner said to me, "if you want gucci or prada bags, even this season, bring in the picture and I can get it for you", im guessing at a much cheaper retail price, (cause she saw me carrying my gucci) how can she possibly do that??

They could be stolen from somewhere. Maybe not, but my cousin was getting Kate Spade bags at this store in town for $45-$60 a piece. Then come to find out the lady had to close her store down and several people got arrested because she was selling hot merchandise.


Hopefully this is not the case with your place though!

This is also what I was thinking.  Either way this shop is not running an honest business.
