Ioffer.com Review: One Of The Worst Celine Replica Bags I’ve Ever Seen!

There are plenty of bad iOffer.com reviews here on the blog, especially when you take a peek at the scam sellers warning page, and it’s actually been quite some time since I’ve heard of anyone trying to purchase a replica bag from this site. I was really relieved to see people stop shopping with them.

However I recently received this review, and just like I expected, nothing has changed here. It’s not only Céline replica bags from iOffer that you should avoid shopping for, but all replica handbag brands in general. And I’d rather repeat myself to help spare a poor soul who may fall into iOffer’s trap, even at the risk of sounding redundant.
So, just to make it clear once again: if you’re looking for quality, iOffer is not the place to find it. On their website you can’t really be sure of anything as: 1) you don’t know if the seller’s reviews are real, 2) you don’t know what you’re going to receive, and 3) you don’t know if returning the item is actually a possibility. It’s true that the prices are low here, but what’s great about that when you end up receiving a bag like this replica Celine Luggage you would never wear?
This replica Celine bag is painful to look at I hope our reader has learned her lesson to stay away from this site! Just scroll down to the email photos below to judge for yourselves!

My dear Angie,
I feel like I’m disappointing you right now with this Ioffer review because you’ve put so much effort into making us understand why we should avoid this site. But I thought that the least I can do is tell you and your other readers’ about my experience.
Maybe there are girls who are still considering to buy from this site and I hope I can help them change their minds. Even though I knew this site is not trustworthy, there was still a little devil inside my mind saying “Hmm, maybe you’ll be lucky and the bag is actually going to be great!”
So I found a seller that had many Celine replica bags and many customer reviews, I thought this was a good thing. They weren’t all positive, but most of them were. I made the offer for a replica Celine Luggage with black and beige. He offered a discount for Western Union but I refused and chose PayPal instead.
I sent him the money, and he gave me a tracking number. After more than a month, I received the bag. I won’t lie to you, I was scared before I opened the package. And I had reasons to feel that way, the bag looks horrible! Oh, and it’s black and white, not black and beige like I wanted. If only that were the only problem with it!
I thought that returning it was useless, the shipping would cost like half the price of the bag. So I thought I should email the people at Ioffer to ask for a refund. But guess what? The seller was nowhere to be found, he closed his account! And iOffer refuses to take any responsibility for it.
I didn’t lose a lot of money, but I learned my lesson the hard way. The only thing I can say: girls, don’t listen to that little devil in your head like I did!
Angie, I hope you’ll share my Ioffer.com review on your blog. Trust me, I’m sorry I didn’t listen to your advice!
Thank you

 

Now the replica bags on iOffer are cheaper than on most decent replica sites and there are many models to choose from. However iOffer is just a mediator, they never get involved if something goes wrong in a purchase, so you as a buyer basically have no safety net.

This Celine replica Luggage Tote pictured above is horrible, and the pictures speak for themselves so I won’t make any further comments. You may think this experience is a one off, however the truth is that this is the usual story when it comes to iOffer shoppers, and the end result is unsurprising. Truth be told, you can’t expect a $50 knockoff bag from any brand to look that great. So save your money and spend it on something (or anything else) before you think twice about shopping here!

Website Review: Pursevalley and Poshmoda Shopping Experiences

UPDATED: This is an old post which is being updated to reflect new information! The post was first published in 2012. I just wanted to let everyone know that it has been confirmed that Poshmoda and Pursevalley are connected so if you are wary of one you should be wary of the other! Feel free to share your experiences (good and bad) below shopping through either seller/website. 

Purse Valley Eva Knox Scam

Hey guys!

So I was going to make a purchase from starshandbags.co/pursevalley.cn/poshmoda (they are the same site operated under different names in order to trick people) since they are advertised all over the place however after receiving some emails from several blog readers I decided not to even spend a penny as these sites seem to clearly sell poorly made replicas, and have even scammed people it turns out in many cases. Here is what I have heard:

Hi Angie, I posted this on another site but I thought I’d email you too to let you know. I had ordered 4 purses from pursevalley.com. First, delivery was late. Secondly, the quality is inferior. Third, they didn’t have one of the purses I ordered so they cancelled without informing me. Fourth, I tried to call, email, and use live chat to get authorization to return the purses (they only allow 10 days for returns AND the package has to be mailed to China!) and they will not return my calls or emails. To make it all worse, I ordered 4 purses so I would get a 30% discount but because they cancelled part of my order and only sent 3 purses, I didn’t receive a discount.
The quality of the purses is inferior. I have real Chanel purses and these are not even close. You can buy nicer, cheaper faux purses in L.A. for a fraction of the cost.
I started calling on Jan. 3, 2011, and have called 4 times, emailed 4 times, and tried their “live chat” 4 times. I left my number in each case, and I have yet to receive any correspondence from them. I used a debit card to pay so I am very concerned.
I hope you can put this on your blog to help prevent this from happening to others.

Another email I received said:

Do not waste your time. Pursevalley.co is full of dishonest people say money back guarantee but refuse a refund then cannot get a response from customer service I am out of $640 plus $80 shipping charges for returning their products. I am disgusted and am very careful before I purchase online now because of this experience.

Finally a few other shoppers have mentioned:

Wish I had seen all the negative reviews about pursevalley before I made a $600 purchase. First of all, their shipping is horrible. I ordered stuff for an event coming soon and it’s taking forever to ship. I try to contact customer sevice and they are either very rude (one hung up on me!) or dont reply to the couple emails I sent. they wasted no time at all getting my money. (Should have not send it through western union cos I cant get refunds now). I was decieved by Eva Knox from spot bags because of all her false reviews, no one who does not work for a company will have such high praises in all her posts. I ordered an lv evora from another well known replica company and the service was great and I recieved my bag in no time, Quality was flawless. I still havent recieved my order from purse valley and I have no idea how that will turn out as most of the real reviews I see are negative. I wrote a complaint on the facebook page and they removed it immediately, hence the mostly positive reviews. I’m very sure if they were honest, the negative reviews would bypass the positive by far. Will never purchase from this company again and I hope you tell others not to either.

“I recently ordered a bag from http://www.ipursevalley.co and it was a really bad quality bag. When I complained, they asked me to send it back which costed me £30 and promising a new bag. The bag arrived but it was broken as soon as I opened it and it was a poor replica of the MM artsy. It did not look anything like the actual bag. Now, they wont give me the money back and want me to spend another £30 to send this broken bag back! I am disappointed and they ripped me off. I would never recommend purse valley or club couture for replica bags!! horrible horrible quality bags!!

I would really like to thank you girls for emailing me before I created a potential headache for myself, and hope that these experiences will help others! This site operates under a lot of aliases so you really need to be careful when you are shopping online to avoid one of their traps! If anyone else has a horrible/amazing experience feel free to email me (with pictures preferably) at thepursequeenreviews@gmail.com. I hope this post will serve as a warning to anyone out there who is shopping for a knockoff.

Celine Replica Bags: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

celine-replica-bags-good-bad-ugly-review

When it comes to buying CELINE replica bags you have to be very careful since they are extremely popular at the moment! You could easily fall for what I call replica ugly which is as low as you can go when it comes to buying a fake bag, let alone a fake CELINE. Replica ugly basically refers to the deep waters of fake that nobody wants to be swimming in especially when these bags don’t sell for cheap online (yes even for a fake!). This article will explore the three different qualities and I will review my personal CELINE replica bags showing you how I fell for a mediocre replica and eventually how I ended up finding the best quality of CELINE in the black nano I purchased which I am still in love with till this day! First of all I’d like to note that the CELINE nano is my favorite CELINE model after the trio because it is so petite and functional, and I am personally in a stage in my life where less is more and I think my purse choices are beginning to reflect this personal philosophy.

Anyways lets get back on point. The ugly replica as you can see is pictured first and when you compare it to the third picture a.k.a the good CELINE replica you will shocked and astonished to hear that some people pay for that ugly replica and even consider wearing it. The bag is COMPLETELY off. Everything from the zipper placement, to the dimensions, to the handles, to the logo are done extremely poorly. It can hardly be considered a bare bones replica bag and I think you can guess just as well as I can why that is. I will have to say that when you hear people dissing fakes, it is the ugly replicas that they are most likely referencing as these bags are a shame to the original design and to bag making in general. I think that if you are going to buy a replica you should purchase one that at least respects the original design or don’t even buy it at all as it will quite frankly turn out to be a waste of your money. Ok so I had to do some googling to come across the ugly replica and it is not part of my personal collection but I think right off the bat anyone with any knowledge of CELINE will be able to point out the flaws. First the loose handles completely defy the original CELINE design which is so structured. Secondly the logo has been maximized and looks terrible. The zipper on the bag has been placed too high and makes the bag lose the original CELINE symmetry which adds to the beauty of the bag in my opinion.

The second bag pictured was indeed one I purchased on my own and although it is not an ugly replica it is just a mediocre one and shows that even if you think you know designer bags, you have to be careful with their replica equivalents as there are so many details you need to pay attention to. The second bag is a lot better than the first but the quality of the leather (which is something you have to see in person) is generally poor overall as it has a half plastic feel to it, making me personally doubt whether it is real leather at all. Additionally the dimensions of the handbag are off by a bit (it is supposed to be a nano) and if you can see it has more of a rectangular shape to it than a square shape. This bag is what most replica sites sell and they are good enough to dupe most people into thinking they are Replica Knockoff CELINEs an expert would be still able to spot the bag as a fake. I have posted detailed photos below for you to take a look at to see all the details, and what the manufacturers missed in making it.

celine-nano-replica

Front view of the bag. This bag is probably around 80% similar to the original CELINE.

celine-nano-replica-bottom

The bottom of the handbag has pegs which a CELINE nano is not supposed to have since it is the tiniest model!

celine-nano-replica-back-of-bag

The bag is of the bag is ok, but you can see the shiny sheen on the leather here which makes the bag look really fake.

celine-stamp-replica

At least they got the stamp on the replica bag right!

celine-zipper-replica-bag

As you can see there is an overall unfinished look the the purse!

inside-celine-bag-replica

The interior stamp is very off compared to the original CELINE design. The good CELINE nano replica I reviewed had an accurate interior stamp.

inside-celine-bag-replica

Although I do not care too much about the interior of a replica bag I want the quality of the materials to be good. this bag had a plastic lining on the inside which was not very good compared to the genuine leather lining of the good nano replica pictured before.

celine-hardware-handle-zipper

The hardware was a bit clunky and large compared to the good CELINE replica and the Replica Knockoff version of the nano as well, although at least they go the stamp on it!

 

Finally the third bag pictured is the good replica and honestly compared to an Replica Knockoff CELINE replica it is very hard to tell the difference between the two. Everything from the leather to the interior are on key and right off the bat you can see that the square shape of the CELINE nano is accurately represented in this replica bag. If you want to see a detailed comparison between the third bag and an original CELINE in my original review of the purse you can click here.

Overall the moral of the story is that you have to be careful when shopping for not only CELINE replica purses, but generally all replica purses online as it is easy to end up wasting your money on a poor excuse for a bag! There are good CELINE replicas out there, you just need to make sure you know how to spot one and spend your money right the first time!

Replica Louis Vuitton Bags: Is it Hard to Buy them Online?

chatwithus1

Louis Vuitton is arguably the most copied bag in the world meaning there are many replica Louis Vuitton bags out there! This makes it even more challenging however when you are thinking of buying a knockoff as it means you have your work cut out for you in terms of finding a good replica Louis Vuitton. In this article I will compare and review a replica Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Totally to an Replica Knockoff Louis Vuitton Damier Azur going over key tips to guide when you are shopping online! Take a look at the photo above! Can you spot the fake right off the bat or did it take you a few moments to compare the two? It can be really tough for buyers to decipher between real and fake nowadays due to the improving standards of replica bag manufacturers. If the first thing you looked at were the handles of the bag and noticed a color difference, do not let yourself be fully thrown off! The handles on the bag pictured on the left side have been patina’d which means they have oxidized due to exposure.

Louis Vuitton handbags are made with cowhide trimmings which naturally patina over time, giving the handles a darker look. When you buy a brand new Louis Vuitton (real or fake) it should look like the bag on the right where the handles are very light and untampered with. If you buy a used bag you can expect the handbag to have a patina’d handle(s), and if it doesn’t that is a warning sign that is a) fake, and b) a really bad fake. Anyways back to the initial question: could you tell which bag was the knockoff? If you guessed the bag on the left with the darker handles you are wrong, and if you guessed the bag on the right with the lighter handles you are right! Let’s take a look into the differences between the two bags. One note I would like to make is that the handbag pictured on the right is one of the best Louis Vuitton replicas available out there, and so if you are looking for one this would be as close to the real deal as you can get without buying an Replica Knockoff handbag.

damier-azur-totally-fake-vs-real-replica-vs-authentic1

The bottom of both handbags are equivalent and there is no difference at all that would cause one to second guess the authenticity of the bag. The only difference is that the bag on the left which is used has lost some of its shape and become a bit more “loose” unlike the handbag on the right which has yet to be used. This loose-ness is not a factor in authenticity in this case however!

damier-azur-totally-fake-vs-real-replica-vs-authentic

A side view of both handbags once again showing no noticeable difference between the two handbags. The handles of the used Replica Knockoff bag are a bit more stretched out and worn out compared to the replica handbag on the right.

damier-azur-totally-fake-vs-real-replica-vs-authentic2

Once again the biggest difference I would say Louis Vuitton replica handbags have from their Replica Knockoff counterparts is the stitching quality. If you take a look on the bag on the left it is just a bit more well done than that of the one on the right which is not sewn in as deep. Other than that the tags are generally comparable.

damier-azur-totally-fake-vs-real-replica-vs-authentic3

The interior of both of the handbags are shown here. The light was a bit dark when I was trying to photograph the replica LV so sorry about that folks. You still get a general idea though and the interiors are fairly comparable. The interiors of replica handbags are one thing which I don’t usually sweat about as long as it is a quality interior and good enough to hold my stuff. However if something is off here or there it does not really matter in comparison to the total design so I would suggest you don’t sweat about it either!

Let me know what you think of the Totally replica bag in the comments below. Was a good fake or was it easy for you to spot?

Can You Spot Fake Celine Bags? A Guide to Replica Knockoff vs. Replica Celine Nano Bags

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica

Can you spot the replica bag right off the bat? Or does it take a moment or two for you to see it?

CELINE is definitely one of the hottest handbag brands right now, and I cannot say that the obsession has passed by me personally. This handbag review will compare an Replica Knockoff Celine nano bag (in the orange) to the replica Celine nano bag in the black.

celine bag tag nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica

The interior tags of both handbags. Some nanos (even authentic) have the imprinted tag while some have the tag with the colored labelling. The camera was a bit dark when I was photographing the tag of my replica bag so it is a bit difficult to see but the tag is done exactly the same as the Replica Knockoff Celine in terms of font size and the “Made in Italy” writing.

celine bag zipper fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica nano

The zippers of both handbags are pictured up close here. The Replica Knockoff Celine nano had more of a gold colored zipper while the black Celine nano was more a more brassy gold. As you can see the zippers are identical, and if anything the work on the replica handbag’s zipper looks a bit more clean compared to the edges of the Replica Knockoff orange Celine nano’s zipper edges.

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica back of bag

The back of both handbags are shown here and as you can see there is no difference. Both bags are virtually identical when you take a glance at the back with every detailed stitch showing to be well done on both.

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica bottom of bag

Under each Celine nano handbag is also virtually identical. There is no difference to note here at all when it comes to real vs. fake.

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica handle of bag

The zippers of the Nano bags are also almost identical except for the actual writing of the word CELINE. On the Replica Knockoff orange CELINE nano you can see the word is written upwards, while on the replica bag the words are written downwards. However font wise and in terms of the general look the bags are both the same. I could not find any other CELINE nano handbags to compare the writing with so I am not sure if the replica latch is completely incorrect or based on a different (older) design of the handles.

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica inside of bag

The interior of both of the handbags are pictured here. The Replica Knockoff handbag has a smooth leather interior while the replica Celine bag has a suede interior. Once again I am not sure if the smooth interior is the standard for all Celine luggage nanos so feel free to comment if you have an Replica Knockoff nano with a suede/smooth leather interior.

celine nano fake vs real Replica Knockoff 
vs replica logo of bag on front

The logo stamp on the front of both nanos (Replica Knockoff and replica) are identical. The font and sizes are both equivalent as you can see so there is no giveaway here!

celine nano fashionphile

Above you can see pictured the original ad on Fashionphile for the Replica Knockoff orange Celine nano which I must admit is to die for (I am a CELINE fanatic!). However when you consider the price difference between the used Replica Knockoff ($2,150 for the used bag) and replica bag ($359 USD) it seems that the replica manufacturers really have this design down to the tee! The key difference that I would note is the handles on the replica bag seem a bit bigger but not enough to really notice in person. I hope this guide is helpful for either a replica buyer looking to buy a copy of the Celine nano handbag (so they know how to purchase a top quality bag) as well as anyone looking to buy an Replica Knockoff and wanting to make sure they don’t get duped into paying the Replica Knockoff price tag for a knockoff Celine!  Feel free to comment below and let me know whether you’d go Replica Knockoff or fake for this Celine nano bag!
