Italist Italist sells fake no-authenticated items Internet

Seriously, do NOT purchase from Italist. I bought a Gucci Marmont belt and when's excited but when I received it it was fake. The tags were different than what was said on the belt and the belt was obviously made of cheaper material.

I was suspicious so I brought it to a Gucci store and they verified it was not a real belt. So here's the deal, Italist guarantees their products are real, however they ship (sight unseen or product validated) from any store in Italy - so they are not actually authenticating their products in person.

After I emailed them (no number to call their customer service- that should be a clue that they are sketchy), they were prompt about a return. To make a long story short I had misplaced my "dust bag" and they emailed me that without the "duster bag" I could not get a refund? Huh? The item is fake? Your website says you only sell real items? I am so disappointed and will never purchase any goods from a site that does not have a direct relationship with the manufacture. Save yourself a few hundred bucks - buy from a valid site- and rest assure your hard earned money is actually purchasing a real item.

Italist sells fake items - make sure you don't get scammed. Wish I would have listened to my own intuition
