A friend wants to buy a leather bag whilst in Fethiye, as most are fake, has anyone ever bought a genuine one and what shop?
Thanks :)
-
I tried several years ago to buy a leather bag without the fake names all over it! I tried evertwhere without success. I think you can get lovely leather bags, equally as good and as cheap without the “labels” in the U,K. :)
-
If you had asked this question before August 10th last year you would have got a pretty definitive answer ......................
-
Yes Phil......where are you Jackie, or have I missed something? ???
-
Find her on FB if you really need to but beware, if she doesn't like your, perfectly relevant and not patronising or insulting in any way comments, she'll report to admin and block you! ;D
-
Yep, been there got the t-shirt hahaha ;)
-
And I thought it was just me! ;D
-
And me!! ;D
-
I've never had a problem with the lady on here, Tripadvisor or Facey. :)
-
Really? :)
-
And me!! ;D
Blimey, can't imagine what you did... :o :o :o
Or Marina for that matter :D

I was thinking the same about you Nicola!
Wonder if we're in an exclusive group
-
look on trip advisor calis / fethiye reviews for thousands of frances jane replies to questions cross her like I did, and I got banned from posting on there
-
Oh I've seen her on there blueclad, she can't hide behind a different name, you can't miss her posts!
I'm beginning to quite like our little club ;D ;)

Probably JH had an input!
-
So I had a lucky escape then! :D still doesn't answer my question as to where she is....did someone block her for a change? ;D
-
Go back on here and look at some of her posts! ;D

hahaha wouldn't put it past her ;D
Rana, I don't know why 'Jackie' left CBF, same reasons she's blocked half of Facebook I guess

-
So I take it my friend can't find a genuine leather bag in Fethiye then 😁
-
Sorry Rana to have hijacked your topic. :( If I could have helped you I would have done so earlier but I'm afraid I don't know where you could go for one.
-
Another one blocked and I know exactly why too
Aren't we lucky :)

And me!! ;D

I am sure there was a "bag" thread some time ago - but I can't find it.
As I recall, everyone's opinion at the time ( including the Chief Bag Lady's) was that you could probably get better quality and better deals at home.
Mind you, at the time the exchange rate was about 3.0 - so it could all be very different now.

Thanks :)
Not seen any shops with genuine ones but my good lady has bought a couple of really good copies which she is very pleased with - even after a few years use.
Genuine - USA would probably be my guess for best value.
-
I'm off to read TA - just to get myself wound up!
well, have tried but can't see any of her comments but I do keep seeing a "hidden" comment so I'm guessing someone has managed to block me from there too ;D : :)
-
Not doing too well are you bluwise ;)
She's certainly there on the Fethiye TA forum somewhere :)
-
She's averaging 5 or 6
pontifications posts a day.

I posted a thread about leather bags, I bought one last year for around £155, and within a month the handle broke . I am back in Calis next weekend and I am bringing the bag back with me to see if the shop with do anything about it . I am not holding my breath but honestly we have been a good customer with the shop over the last 15 yrs. I will let you know how we get on .
-
Not a good advert for them if they don't Tiger
-
Would be interesting to see the outcome - hopefully a good one.
-
And me!! ;D

Can we stop all the crap on this thread and keep bag related please? I believe Megri in Fethiye is allegedly the best place for good quality copy handbags.
-
I believe the opening poster is asking for recommendations for genuine leather handbags, not fakes. :)
-
I do not know why I added “copy” to my previous post. As far as I am led to believe Megri is the place for quality designer handbags. :)

I fly in this weekend and hopefully can let you ladies know how I get on . I have the receipts for the amount that was paid, so I will just see how it’s delt with , and will keep you posted 😉

Good luck. It's a lot of money wasted if they don't replace it
I've had cheap ones from the market last longer than that

Dear ladies .. I said I would update you on returning my bag that we paid £155 for and broke within 2 weeks .. the shop was called Rees Vitton .. me and my husband returned the bad in its original bag and the receipt .. the manager said he would fix the bag , we asked for a refund ( no chance ) could I pick something for £155 to replace it ... he just kept saying it was a beautiful bag and he would make it right . He just kept talking and talking saying all bags have problems?? I told him I felt disappointed and let down but he just kept showing us bags that had had problems and that had been repaired .
In the end my husband said please repair the bag we will pick it up the day after .
We didn’t have very much choice, and it seemed stupid to spoil our holiday but we did tell the manager the day after that it was wrong to con people and that if we were to spend money in future it wouldn’t never be with him or his shop and that he should value people that return to Turkey each year and are looking to buy good quality items .. so my advice to anyone looking for a nice bag is not to spend money at Rees Vitton , they are poor copies .. hope this helps

Go back and tell him you're reporting him to the Zabita for copyright infringements, which is now against the law in Turkey and in some areas rigorously enforced.

-
Where is Rees Vitton?
-
What a poor attitude - will give that place a miss.
-
Sorry they refused a refund but to be honest I didn't hold much hope you would
