    I don't think I've ever seen a fake item taken down if I reported it, and I've done so quite a few times. makes the whole report function useless.

      Just out of curiosity I tried reporting that Rick parka and I can't even find how to report 'bootleg' clothing. All the options are software / copyright related. I guess you could report them for "potentially misleading titles" but I bet that takes quite a few reports before they care.

          its pretty useless. i report fake items as long as i see them but never see a single listing taken down

          i hope all other countries could deal with ebay as the French did.
          I don't exist.

            true. they may not even be all that deluded. major fast fashion retailers all over the universe are knocking off things left and right. the masses buy it up. price breaks and looking cool undoubtedly trump authenticity on the large scale. plus im in heirlooms rick wedge boat - i just noticed a huge tear extending from the pocket of a pair of ann pants i tried on twice (loose waist/ drop crotch too so it wasn't a fit issue.) so im inclined to give this sellers a break, how much does a real groove bag retail for, anyways? if someone wants a plain black bag or some ricks for 100$ its not a terrible deal. especially when the real deal tends to be a joke anyways

              Really great price on this.

              p.s. price aside no problems from me if you want those things somebody posted an outfit on SF a long time ago that looked surprisingly awesome and I actually wanted a pair for a while (I think 2000db dissuaded me) but really I think some sick part of me has just wanted a pair of really shiny pants since I saw those Dior glitter pants in italy many years ago when I was young and impressionable.

              I feel like in addition to the "what were you wearing yesterday / in the past" we need like a "perverse aesthetic desires that have stuck with me."

                        That's actually one of my favorite BLESS pieces. I'd say it's one of the few garments I've ever seen that could be described as truly surreal which I think is a well under explored 'genre.'

                          Shiny pants stuck with me too. I have a couple of pairs of waxed jeans that I wear all the time, and then of course leather pants (which turn out to be surprisingly practical, especially during the colder months).

                            Probably the most amazing work that Google Translate has ever done for me:

                            I bought this because the smell of menarche has been processed to make boots worn on water in the process. A kind of white spots seen in the picture is so salty it. Pair is very geeky.

                              great price? they were on yoox a few months ago for less than 100 euros and no one wanted to buy them. they got reduced even further to 70 euros i think.
