Good morning. Yes it’s a shame. When I filmed this video I was really disappointed and couldn’t hold back. The material in my opinion is extremely cheap. I don’t recommend their Air Essentials. It’s a waste of money. I appreciate you watching and sharing. 😊
I'm just wondering if they are also making fakes of the ones with different textures like the snake embossed leather or the diamond embossed. I feel like these are pretty hard to imitate but who knows what they can do. If anyone has seen fakes of these specific bags, please please let me know. Thank you!
If you go on any shop on Posh there are a ton of handbags that are fake snake embossed so called leather. Michael Kors fakes would a brand I think of specifically. Thank you for watching and your feedback
@@myyoutubechannel-g5d Thank you for responding. I am wondering the same question for Tory burch Lee radziwill bags specifically. Because the fakes I am seeing are mostly the pebbled plain colors.
I don't know, mine seem to hold good! i have the jogger & the cinched hoodie- worn a few times, washed once..all good. no pilling, looks amazing, soft material - really luxurious, superior to anything that i have from lululemon - similar price point. Maybe too soon & few more washes...but good for now.
I just purchased a few spanx air essentials items. My first spanx purchase. I need "tall" pants and was thrilled they offer tall in many pants styles! I ordered two pairs of the wide leg pants, a polo shirt, and zip up track jacket. Probably over $550 in lounge wear. I've never seen these advertised, as I only use YT and am not on social media, i just thought they looked nice and loved the tall option. It's past the return window, but I've still not worn any items yet and I'm scared to! I found your video while looking up "ways to care for spanx air essentials" because I realized there were negative reviews on the spanx website about pulling and piling, but only after I'd purchased 😢 I appreciate your video and hopefully others have their hard earned money for comparable clothing of better quality. I'm tempted to sell the items while they're brand new, to save myself the heart ache and recoup some of the money spent. I haven't seen a way promoted by anyone yet for how to wear, wash, or care for these items without them being damaged. Should I sell them and cut my losses? I also appreciate any "dupe" recommendations you have that sell talls/longs, because I really do love the feel of the material. 💔
The dupe I find incredibly close and not horrible on price is this set on Amazon. amzn.to/4cKLAMF. It’s 50 dollars instead of 200 dollars and over. Let me know your thoughts. I know for me. Cannot buy Spanx anymore. Just a waste of money. Check the label on the Spanx and be sure to follow directions on label if you keep the clothes.
Thank you so much for the quick reply and recommendation! I'm not sure if I'll keep the two spanx sets or not... but I will definitely check out the dupes you linked! I just know that if I wear the spanx sets that I'll be nervous the whole time that they'll get ruined by something miniscule that shouldn't ruin your clothes, since so many women have had that happen with the air essentials.... It doesn't seem worth it to keep them. I'll probably try to sell online since the return window has passed🤦♀️ thanks again!😊 @@myyoutubechannel-g5d
Thank you. I am thrilled to hear that you didn’t purchase any of their Air Essentials. Complete waste of money. So glad I helped you. Thank you for watching ☺️
Thank you!!! I just bought some of these on sale. I am so glad that I didn’t buy the full price items! I guess I’ll stick with the Amazon dupes and the Athleta Seasoft. The Athleta Seasoft holds up really well!
I will check out these recommendations! I'd love a similar option, as I really love the feel of the air essentials pieces. Hopefully the "dupe" brands sell talls or longs 😄🤞 thank you!
I just very nearly dropped $550 (Canadian) on two pairs of pants and one hoodie (!!!!!). I am very glad I found this review first, because now I won't!
Well thank you for watching and your feedback. I thought I was going crazy and then I thought why is no one mentioning that the clothes material is terrible. Glad I was able to help. ❤️❤️
I'm glad I found your RU-vid channel. I live in Japan and this website still exists. I found it very strange that the prices were so low and I went to research it. Thanks for letting me know!
I use the LYXBAG as a work bag and have had no issues. It's a comfortable bag, has lots of room, and doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys, or anything that could damage the interior.
I just purchased another Tory Burch bag. This time a tote bag and again seller immediately shipped the bag I received it yesterday and it just does not look and feel like my other bags the leather on this tote bag feels extremely stiff I cannot tell if it’s a fake based on the other specs the hardware and lining looks correct. What else can I look for to determine if this bag is indeed fake or is it real.
Well inside the Tory she uses high end zippers that all look the same. Also the stitching is another give away Stitching Authentic Tory Burch items have six to seven stitches per centimeter, with tight, aligned stitches and the correct thread color. See if this tips help. I’m so sorry you feel like it’s a fake. It’s an awful feeling. That’s why I say. Your saving a few hundred by buying second hand but know who your buying from. You can typically tell in these shops who’s a fake and who isn’t if it’s just a normal person with a one off. If you email me the bag and what you paid I can take a look at it for you. Pictures can be deceiving so take clear pictures. Thank you for watching
I have purchased two bags from Poshmark the first description read it was almost as perfect as original? I did not catch that until six hours after purchase. Poshmark purchase guidelines state customers can decline purchase as long as it is done before seller ships the item. Well guess what I tried to decline my purchase just hours after it was purchased “but” the seller shipped that fake TB bag in 30 minutes of sale? I fought with seller and Poshmark customer service and never got any response Poshmark ghosted me and the seller kept saying the resolution was up to Poshmark.
Omg!!!!!! That’s the craziest thing I have ever heard. Yes, the sellers that are fakesters ship quick. But posh has always made it right for me. I’m sorry that happened to you. I do appreciate you watching. Completely stinks Hopefully you can still enjoy the bag.
I paid 148 for a jumpsuit really comfortable however snags real easy and runs like the nylon stockings and beads up with little knots. Will not buy spanx again.
I was LITERALLY JUST ABOUT TO ORDER LIKE 15 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCHACHA!!!!!! THIS ish is for the birds ............ 😠😭 your video saved me 🙏
Thanks for this video. I was just looking at Tory bags on Poshmark. I thought it was suspect that the one vendor in particular had some super basic used clothes and then 5 small TB Eleanor bags at half off. And they’re all shot the same way.
Totally agree! I had random stains appear on the front of a top on the first wear and couldn't get them out no matter what I do! None of my other clothing looks like this. So frustrating after paying a high price for leisure wear. I reached out to Spanx, but don't believe they will stand behind their product.
So confused why every influencer is posting about how amazing they are! Sometimes I have to wash it 3 times inside out and I still get spots and the pilling is horrible! When you first receive it yes it looks incredible and within two wears it looked horrible. Thanks for spreading the word because the cost of this is insane.
Hi and thank you for your feedback. I really thought I was going crazy when I saw my first spot and pilling and pulling. Highly disappointed. But lesson learned. 😊😊
i have both real bags and H Q D U P S high quality fakes and not gona lie... you cannot tell the difference. i think even rich ladies are just sick of these chanel prices.
I used the vitamin C serum for years and loved it! Until….. It caused me to get Malassezia! Yes, the oil caused my skin to develop fungal acne that has been almost impossible to get rid of 😢 Going on for three years now, and I've tried everything. When I think it's gone, I do something that causes me to sweat, like golfing, and it comes back. I'm so upset! Fungal acne is like little red dots with Whiteheads -all the same size and in groups, mostly around my hairline and cheeks. It also causes redness and crazy itching. It sometimes spreads to my scalp and chest area. I would give anything to be free of this nightmare. I'm 51 and have what looks like acne.
I purchased a Tory Burch Monogram T Pearl blue bucket bag on Poshmark. I feel it’s fake. The quality is bad and inside tag says made in Vietnam. I thought almost all Tory bags were made in China. If I send you photos can you give me your opinion? Posh is dragging their feet on this. Disappointed
This video was amazing and helpful. I'm the type of person who always checks reviews on RU-vid before making a purchase. I was about to buy a Tory Burch handbag on Poshmark, and I'm glad I watched this video first.
I thought I was the only one! I wore the viral air essentials set on my flight from LAX to Australia and I literally threw the pants in the trash in the bathroom trash mid flight! They immediately pilled and snagged! What a huge waste of money! I 💯 % agree with you!
I wore my black air essentials jumper one time. I noticed pilling and frayed material. I contacted spanx customer service. They promptly sent me a replacement at no charge and allowed me to keep the frayed jumper. I agree, their products are way too expensive to fray within a few wears.
I absolutely love all my pieces and I probably have over 20 pieces or more of air essentials. I have had no problem with getting spots out. You just have to use a spray on them before washing. Only was in cold water and hang dry. They still all look amazing. That being said I never pay full price. I wait till they go 50% off on spanx or buy used on thread up. No problems for me.
I love all my pieces and I have a lot. I only buy on sale and on thread up. Im in love and have washed mine so many times. I make sure I treat it if I get a spot on it and the spot always comes out. I would never pay full price though.
@princessbarbiecheer you can’t. I don’t get it. I’ve tried spot cleaning. I’ve tried washing inside out on cold. Delicate. The material is a weird combination to make it soft which in my opinion prevents it from lasting overtime. Sorry you’re having trouble too. The bottom line is the quality isn’t good.
@@princessbarbiecheer I use Shout triple action as soon as I get home if I get a spot on it and let it sock for a few hours. I have 2 cats and a dog and my daughter has 2 dogs that I'm around a lot. I can't tell you anymore how many pieces of air essential I have. I love them so much. I just ordered one off of three up with 5 big spots. I got it for a decent price and want to see if I can get the spots out. I will keep you updated when I get it.
Great video! I have been stalking Poshmark for a while now for a particular Coach bag, and every single one I find listed is a fake. I was just complaining about it this week on insta LOL. The problem is that the photos of the fakes are so strategic, and that helps to figure them out. If they are stupid enough to post the serial numbers, those numbers are usually all the same since fake manufacturers are lazy. They don't post the whole dust bag, they don't post close ups of the stitching or stamping, it gets hard to be able to differentiate when you are looking at bad and strategic photos. I have asked about the serial numbers on several listings, only to be blocked and never to find the listing again. I had one on the line that I thought might be authentic since they had a receipt, tag, and dust bag and were asking close to the OG price for it. So I was going to bid on it, then the listing said sold so I was bummed. The next day the same listing with the same pictures receipt and all popped up, I was like - wow, I almost got completely scammed out of hundreds. I think I'm going to buy direct from now on as well, I don't want a fake bag. I want the real deal!
Thank you for your feedback. It’s a shame that Posh is like that. In my opinion there just isn’t enough managing of the shops. If you buy directly I feel like you’re just better off. I appreciate you watching and glad you DIDNT get scammed. 🙂
Thanks for making this video! I just bought a pair of the wide leg pants, right before I watched your video 🤦🏽♀️…have you reached out to Spanx? For the “luxury” price, I would think they would try to do something for you due to the piling and stains that won’t come out. Please let us know!
You are very welcome I have reached out to them and they told me that the care instructions say wash inside out. Which I do, and I have to say it’s the material of the Air Essentials. It’s just not good quality. It feels okay I guess but it’s not high quality for the price point.
Well that is concerning. I ordered the gray jumpsuit, and a sleeveless black dress. The black dress should be ok as i dont think the pilling will show. The gray could be a nightmare. I will add....neither garment is "light as air"! Quite thick, which is really what i wanted, but the gray fabric shows every lump and bump.
I’m not wealthy enough to buy several, but I love my clothes. I saved up because I am tall, and I love the wide leg look. I finally was able to get it! The top has water spots that will not come out in the wash or dry clean! The wide leg pants pill terribly and has spots everywhere! This is not the look I’m after!
@swiftyoverfifty exactly. Sorry that’s happened to you too. It’s an overhyped line of clothes that are wayyyy overpriced. Very disappointing. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching the video. 😊
