Fake Miss Sixty items.

Hi,

I just wanted to warn everyone that there are fake items about of the Italian brand Miss Sixty.  I was caught out as I bought a fake dress!  Miss Sixty advertise as Miss Sixty/Miss 60 NOT M60.  There are a lot of cheap, imitation items in America that are made in China around - I didn't realise until my bad experience!  I have attempted to report items, don't know how successful that is, as the items still seem to be advertised!

If buying any of the Miss Sixty items, look at the tag - Miss Sixty normally do not advertise on their brand tag where the item is made, it is normally found on the tag stating the material of the item and also has the internet site and 'Distributed by Sixty, S.P.A'.  Items normally have some some of identification of Miss Sixty on the item, eg a metal logo, red piece of material with Miss Sixty written in white, or even with the appearance of being handwritten!  Look for these things or ask for pictures of the tags - genuine items have Miss Sixty written on their tag if they are new with tags and do not have colours written on their tag, the colour is normally given as a number/letters!  Miss Sixty items are expensive, so don't get caught out by fakes!!!!

BE VERY WARY!!!  I am finding this is turning me off ebay 😞

Hi foxette-in-sox,

I have been lucky in my ebay purchases that since I joined ebay (no, this is my only ID, I have never had another one or had a need to change it!!) that I have only ever received three fake items - this miss sixty dress, a kipling bag and probably a pair of miss sixty sandals - that I knew were fake, but didn't act on this as I am currently studying and contacted ebay after the 40 day period.

I have attempted in the past to leave negative feedback but I know for a while that ebay wouldn't allow it - even though I tried hard!

After this experience, it has turned me off ebay, but in saying that, I won my claim with ebay-paypal so on return of this dress to the seller, I should get all my money back!

My post was just to notify other people that there are fake items around - I had never realized before - I guess being a poor student will do that to you!

I was also in touch with the Miss Sixty brand and they said there are fakes around, but they are not going to monitor ebay or amazon as there are private sellers on here!

After posting my comment, I have not been back on these discussion boards, but coming on the boards made me realise I have just been lucky when I hear all these horror stories!

There should have been no reason that you could not leave negative feedback unless it was longer than 60 days.

Ebay is just the same as your local markets.

You have to be wary - it's always a case of Caveat Emptor (Let The Buyer Beware).

It's not what the sellers tell you that is the problem... but what they DON'T tell you. So, for example, if you are buying gold, then YOU need to know how to test and determine if the item you are buying really is gold.
