Education is the theme for 2020. This year has been a big one for the resale industry. The RealReal went public and are still having massive issues with authentication, social media platforms have become the new place to sell, brick and mortar stores are closing left and right and large players are popping up [...]
I literally cannot believe another woman has been arrested for the same scam of purchasing luxury bags as places like TJMaxx and returning counterfeits. Clearly something needs to be done about the massive amount of return fraud that is happening with e-commerce. MIAMI, Florida - Owning designer handbags is more often than not on [...]
The RealReal has responded to Chanel's lawsuit filed last November claiming that they (TRR) are selling counterfeits and it's everything you thought it would be and more. Below you can read both filings, the original from Chanel and TRR's response. I want to make one point that is in Chanel's original lawsuit and highlighted [...]
Reposted from the Fashionlaw.com: THE FASHION LAW EXCLUSIVE — Chanel is not a fan of luxury resale sites. Several months after filing suit against What Goes Around Comes Around, the Paris-based design house has named The RealReal in a trademark infringement and counterfeiting lawsuit, accusing the popular resale site of “selling counterfeit CHANEL handbags,” [...]
Chanel vs What Goes Around Comes Around trademark lawsuit hands a small, early victory to the luxury brand Originally posted on Fashionlaw.com Chanel does not want others using its name and in a strongly-worded lawsuit filed this spring, the Paris-based luxury brand reminded What Goes Around Comes Around (“WGACA”) of that fact. The Karl [...]
I have been working on a post about the dark side of the Purse Forum and what utter nonsense it is. I have never seen a bigger collection of petty bullies in my life. I have been a registered user for years but have only posted twice when someone questions how Entrupy worked. I [...]
I don't know what's worse. the fact that this type of counterfeiting and money laundering is still happening in this day and age or that the larger marketplaces have not put any sort of practices in place to stop it. Originally posted on Tapinto.net NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - A Plainsboro couple could face charges of of [...]

Join me, @grahamwetzbarger and @nonhufriends on July 22nd in Houston, TX where we will hold a master class on luxury handbag authentication.
Two registration options, one with a training binder and one without for those that feel pretty confident but want to keep up on the trends.
Class will start promptly at 3pm and feel free to bring up to five items for in person authentication and get your questions ready!

So, if you only need a business account and not the device to authenticate sneakers through Entrupy, does this mean an app is coming for handbag authentication? #pleasesayyes
This is a hard one as I love Nordstrom but, counterfeits have gotten so good that you must have a deeper authentication practice in place, no matter who you are.

“tems from brands including Aimé Leon Dore, Fear of God, Supreme, Off-White, Palace and Stone Island, Bape, Kith and Vetements, and sold for more than $200 will be eligible. By the end of September, eBay will launch additional eligible brands including Adidas, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Burberry, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Chrome Hearts, Comme des Garçons, Dior, Eric Emanuel, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci, Jordan, Louis Vuitton, Nike, OVO, Palm Angels, Prada, Rhude, Versace and Visvim.”
They couldn’t have done this without the acquisition of Certilogo and unfortunately, like on Poshmark, fakes will be listed at under that $200 threshold. 🔗 in my bio to the WWD article.
Using RFID at the manufacturing level and with brands like Versace, Stone Island and more, this acquisition of Certilogo by eBay is a big step in the race to blockchain all data.
Certilogo’s platform uses digital technology to empower brands and designers to manage the lifecycle of their garments, while providing consumers a seamless way to confirm authenticity, access reliable information about branded items, and easily activate circular services.

I was hesitant to post this article from @nytimes because it basically is a fluff piece for the writer and her getting one on by carrying a fake Celine in Paris. 🥱 🔗 in my bio to the ad filled article.
More information on The RealReal and their authentication practices tomorrow! 😬
Ebay backed Cudoni and now they’re saying, “Additionally, eBay plans to offer refurbished items to attract shoppers who are more price-conscious.”
I’m all for finding a great deal but this sudden increase in selling trash has to stop, especially because the price is NOT reflecting the condition.
How do you feel about lower condition grade handbags? What are your thoughts? 🔗 in bio to the article

Now this is how you do resale as a brand! Authenticity confirmed, two year warranty and that iconic wax seal straight from the brand itself. #winner 🔗 in bio to the article on @robbreport
They recently raised $9.2 million and now they’re shutting down. I do not believe this is indicative of the resale industry’s future but more of maybe bad management. 🔗 in bio to read the article on @bof
I’ve been to this literal supermarket of counterfeit goods and it was crazy! Armed men outside, each little kiosk of nothing but fake everything and it was open for business for at least 10 years! 🔗 in bio to the article
Interesting article from @voguebusiness on how Gen Z loves Dupes which are “not technically” counterfeits 🤣 Are Dupes bad for fashion brands? That’s the question…..and yes is the answer.
If you love luxury, you want to buy luxury and if you can’t afford the price points, dupes have become acceptable because we’re a “I want it now” society without thinking of the repercussions of our choices.
This leads to smaller brands who work so hard to build a name for themselves being robbed of their intellectual property from these big players in the space.
