The Wax

February 02, 2005

You want satellite system? It has Sony guts.

ToshubaSo my friend Shane purchased a Fendi bag for his wife as a gift. The bag was purchased at his local Annie Sez. It was $353.09, down from $669.

At an unbelievable sale, he couldn't resist. But after some minor wear and tear, the bags inner zipper was separating from the lining. He went back to Annie Sez to ask them to repair or replace the bag. They told him that they don't do those types of repairs and he would have to take it to Fendi direct.

So, his wife diligently went to Fendi and turned in the bag. They told her that it would take up to 5 weeks to repair. After a week of "investigating" the Fendi folks called her back and informed her that the bag was, in fact, a shotty knockoff.

Credit card cancellations, and irate conversations later, the plan is in the works to take down Annie Sez, and all of her fraudulent practices (A.K.A. get his money back)

My theory is that Annie Sez is one of those places that buys labels from companies and sews them into child-made second hand products. Buyers beware. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. [Thanks Shane]

This is why I don't get designer stuff. It's a rip-off to begin with, then you have to worry about whether it's legit or not. No thanks. Target for me please.
