FAKE GRYSON HANDBAG ALERT!!

FAKE GRYSON HANDBAGS ARE NOW BEING MADE!

 

Well, I thought Gryson was one brand we did NOT have to worry about being faked but that is no longer true.  I guess due to the recent photographs of celebrities being seen with their Gryson bags (Jessica Biel, Sophia Bush, Hilary Duff, Rebecca Gayheart, etc.) that have been seen in magazines, the counterfeiters have jumped on this bandwagon also. 

I came across the fakes by accident so I started googling "Gryson Replica & Gryson Fake" and found a number of sites selling fake Gryson.  Particulary the Olivia & Tate bags. Which means that fake Gryson will end up on Ebay and probably has already.

So be VERY careful when making a Gryson purchase and ask plenty of questions.  Please see my other guides for more details on things to ask in order to reduce your chances of receiving a fake.  You can click on the link to see my other guides.  (Click on the Top 100 Reviewer link, then choose "see all guides").

I do want to let you know that these sites sometimes post photos of AUTHENTIC bags but will send a fake in its place.  So you can't go by the pictures.  These bags are selling for a fraction of what an authentic Gryson bag sells for so the quality will be NOTHING like a real Gryson handbag.  And the quality is what makes these bags exceptional.

ALL of the following internet sites sell FAKE Gryson so DO NOT  buy from them. You will be lucky if they send you anything at all but if you do get a Gryson bag from these internet sites it WILL be fake, cheap and will probably fall apart in no time.

FAKE INTERNET "GRYSON" RETAILERS/SUPPLIERS:

Fashionseed . com 

Leathermoon . com

Finerbags . com

ReplicaGalaxy . com

Colapin Bag . com

Tradekey . com

Topwhcn . com

And many more......

(Some of these sites my no longer be registesed since counterfeit sellers disappear quite often....)

If you go to Fashionseed, you will see the fakes that are commonly made. The Olivia and Tate seem to be very popular fakes. You will also notice they have the bags listed as "Gryson" and "Cryson".  So your bag may actually have a tag that says "Cryson" with a C, not a G. 

The fakes are selling for $130 - $250 for the most part.  Some sites you can get the FAKE Olivia for $130, other sites have it for $250.  It is the same exact,cheap bag that probably cost the seller about $60.

Of course, ANY style (not just the Olivia & Tate) is at risk of being faked once a brand becomes popular enough for the counterfeiters to start making it.  So just because a style isn't listed doesn't mean it isn't being made.

You also can't go by price alone.  If the price is too good to be true, then it is more than likely a fake (especially "new" bags).  But some sellers will inflate the prices in an effort to trick the buyer into believing the bag is real. 

Gryson bags are ALSO being made for Target now so you really need to be careful when buying a Gryson handbag on Ebay as you may be paying a lot more than what the bag is worth.  Buy from a seller you know and/or trust as you may be out hundreds of dollars for a fake or a $50 bag from Target.  Just ask plenty of questions to make sure you are getting what you are paying for.

If you found this information to be helpful, please register your "yes" vote below.  Thanks so much!
