Nowadays counterfeit can get into anywhere not only the little street vendors or Canal Street, but into Sam’s Club. They’ve recently been slapped with a lawsuit from Fendi for selling fake designer pieces at their warehouse club. DAMN, just when you thought you was safe for copping a luxury item at a legit store. I can tell this kind of issues has crossed my mind before, so that’s why when I buy luxury items I only buy it at the original store or big chains like Saks, Neiman, Bergdorf or Barneys. It’s chilling to hear stories like that, but luckily Sam’s Club is also offering its customers a full refund for any counterfeit Fendi bags, wallets and scarves they purchased. I personally never shopped at Sam’s Club but I know that Costco, a similar warehouse club also sells luxury items like Fendi. Sigh…
Under the sealed agreement, Sam’s Club agreed to pay the Italian luxury firm a confidential amount to settle the dispute and dismiss the action, which had charged the retailer with selling “significant quantities” of counterfeit items valued “in the millions of dollars.” via WWD
