Help - bought expensive ish (3k) jewelry in France but need to return it. They’re saying to ship it back but not declare the value which seems dishonest? But if I don’t, they told me I need to pay VAT and customs, which looks to be $600+
Any ideas on solutions? A weird one. Contemplated selling here as prices keep going up and evidently desirable stuff.

Is it a big brand?

I was very disappointed and said no. To be clear, it was a boutique, not the brand.

That’s very interesting, for that you could fly back to France. My question,why do you need to return it?
 if it’s for financial reasons, you could insure it. I know this is dodgy, but insure it and then claim it as stolen once you send it because probably you’re not going to get your money back. It sounds like a shady deal.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Also are there other LV bags that do not have the visible LV prints?
