Title: Where to buy 'Genuine' leather bags?
Post by: Rana on August 12, 2018, 14:58:14 PM
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 ......................

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

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 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 .

 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.

Post by: Toky on August 16, 2018, 18:35:54 PM
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.   :)

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.
