ZILLI - SHOE BAG


https://www.ebay.com/itm/Zilli-Shoe...957176?hash=item285235eb38:g:vdsAAOSwKTVakZ5H

Couple things:

- This seller has excellent feedback. Going through his other items.. doesn't seem like a scammer.
- That said - how do you get like 15 Zilli shoe bags? Where the hell did these come from?
- Note the last photo - Zilli using a YKK zipper?! They *own* a zipper factory for christ sake what are they doing using YKK instead of Riri.
- Interesting the way the tag is stitched onto the handle - looks like fabric on top of leather.
- No brandings/marking on shoe horn?

Strongly leaning toward this being fake based off my own knowledge of the brand but it's just hard to fathom considering the seller is otherwise what appears to be a very legit successful consigner of high-end menswear.

I don't know if this is fake or not. But to answer your question, how does a seller get 15 shoe bags?

At one point, several Asian airlines bought Tumi travel bags as their gifts for customers in first class. There must have been a rejection of some lots for defects, or maybe overstock, because shortly afterwards, they flooded eBay. Here is the item I am referring to (these ones made for Delta Airlines):

To be clear, I'm not saying THESE particular Zili bags are real or fake.

But there are plausible explanations as to how a seller can have so many of one item.

Hey thanks for your replies. Someone pointed this out.
Is this normal View attachment 937454

I would say no if it were the London or Prorsum lines. But Brit is pretty low tier so stuff like that is common

Edit: just saw the other photos on purseblog and the issues in the pics do look super suspect and the receipt is pretty laughable

A valid point for certain brands. I'd definitely believe it for Tumi - even Givenchy I believe did a set of airline products and Chanel has a bunch of VIP gifts floating around that are cheap gifts you get for buying perfume. But Zilli's really a different type of company as far as I can tell (and the primary reason that I am a fan) and this would be the first I'd seen of them having a glut of lower-quality items.

Are these real valentino Roma and Dries Van Noten shirts?



Thanks.

First time buying designer stuff online. Are deals like this too good to be true? Seems waaaay too cheap to be legit.

It's possible. If the seller originally bought at a thrift store for $5, then the profit margin is huge.

Tom Ford (Austin?) Brogues?
The soles are a bit off, the rest of the shoe looks legit.

I think the Burberry is real

- Seller has sold a couple of garment bags. Has a neg on feedback on this bag on another sale, but it was for long shipping times not fake goods.
- Shipping from Sochi, where there are 3 Zilli boutiques.
- That red trim on the label looks a bit off doesn't it?

Good morning,
This looks fishy, and I could use some advice.
Thanks
