I've been buying Splendid clothing for years and have the styles down pretty well. I've been noticing a lot of NWOT Splendid popping up on eBay - some sellers with hundreds of pieces in my size - and I figured I'd give it a try. Big savings. Even cheaper than amazon, def cheaper than Nordies, styles I recognize, in my size and colors. I ordered two items from one seller (not sure I can name him here, but he stocks tons of Splendid). S/He very promptly sent my combined shipping total and shipped me the items. They arrived today and they're utter fakes. The tags and care label are authentic Splendid, that's for sure. But the fabric on one, the basic crew neck tee so many of us have, listed as 50% Pima cotton, 50% modal, is clearly not Splendid fabric. It's yucky and cheap spandex. And the supposedly modal/cotton wrap sweater is (shudder) velour! The pics he had included and fabrics listed on his listing were not the items I got.
Wtf? What does one do in this situation? Should I write to him or just open a complaint?
Please beware of buying Splendid on eBay, especially if you're unfamiliar with the brand! I'd much rather pay a little more and buy from a reputed seller. Lesson learned!
