UPDATED: This is an old post which is being updated to reflect new information! The post was first published in 2012. I just wanted to let everyone know that it has been confirmed that Poshmoda and Pursevalley are connected so if you are wary of one you should be wary of the other! Feel free to share your experiences (good and bad) below shopping through either seller/website.
Hey guys!
So I was going to make a purchase from starshandbags.co/pursevalley.cn/poshmoda (they are the same site operated under different names in order to trick people) since they are advertised all over the place however after receiving some emails from several blog readers I decided not to even spend a penny as these sites seem to clearly sell poorly made replicas, and have even scammed people it turns out in many cases. Here is what I have heard:
Hi Angie, I posted this on another site but I thought I’d email you too to let you know. I had ordered 4 purses from pursevalley.com. First, delivery was late. Secondly, the quality is inferior. Third, they didn’t have one of the purses I ordered so they cancelled without informing me. Fourth, I tried to call, email, and use live chat to get authorization to return the purses (they only allow 10 days for returns AND the package has to be mailed to China!) and they will not return my calls or emails. To make it all worse, I ordered 4 purses so I would get a 30% discount but because they cancelled part of my order and only sent 3 purses, I didn’t receive a discount.
The quality of the purses is inferior. I have real Chanel purses and these are not even close. You can buy nicer, cheaper faux purses in L.A. for a fraction of the cost.
I started calling on Jan. 3, 2011, and have called 4 times, emailed 4 times, and tried their “live chat” 4 times. I left my number in each case, and I have yet to receive any correspondence from them. I used a debit card to pay so I am very concerned.
I hope you can put this on your blog to help prevent this from happening to others.
Another email I received said:
Do not waste your time. Pursevalley.co is full of dishonest people say money back guarantee but refuse a refund then cannot get a response from customer service I am out of $640 plus $80 shipping charges for returning their products. I am disgusted and am very careful before I purchase online now because of this experience.
Finally a few other shoppers have mentioned:
Wish I had seen all the negative reviews about pursevalley before I made a $600 purchase. First of all, their shipping is horrible. I ordered stuff for an event coming soon and it’s taking forever to ship. I try to contact customer sevice and they are either very rude (one hung up on me!) or dont reply to the couple emails I sent. they wasted no time at all getting my money. (Should have not send it through western union cos I cant get refunds now). I was decieved by Eva Knox from spot bags because of all her false reviews, no one who does not work for a company will have such high praises in all her posts. I ordered an lv evora from another well known replica company and the service was great and I recieved my bag in no time, Quality was flawless. I still havent recieved my order from purse valley and I have no idea how that will turn out as most of the real reviews I see are negative. I wrote a complaint on the facebook page and they removed it immediately, hence the mostly positive reviews. I’m very sure if they were honest, the negative reviews would bypass the positive by far. Will never purchase from this company again and I hope you tell others not to either.
“I recently ordered a bag from http://www.ipursevalley.co and it was a really bad quality bag. When I complained, they asked me to send it back which costed me £30 and promising a new bag. The bag arrived but it was broken as soon as I opened it and it was a poor replica of the MM artsy. It did not look anything like the actual bag. Now, they wont give me the money back and want me to spend another £30 to send this broken bag back! I am disappointed and they ripped me off. I would never recommend purse valley or club couture for replica bags!! horrible horrible quality bags!!
I would really like to thank you girls for emailing me before I created a potential headache for myself, and hope that these experiences will help others! This site operates under a lot of aliases so you really need to be careful when you are shopping online to avoid one of their traps! If anyone else has a horrible/amazing experience feel free to email me (with pictures preferably) at thepursequeen@hotmail.com. I hope this post will serve as a warning to anyone out there who is shopping for a knockoff.

I purchased a LV Speedy 25 bandouliere Azur on Sept 1st and awaiting for it to arrive. It cleared custom in the USA yesterday so I hope to get it soon. My experience so far has been fantastic with pursevalley. cn. The only glitch was my cc denied the charge because they thought it was fraud but upon confirming, there was no problem. I will definitely let you know what I think of the quality and post pics (if I can) as soon as I receive it. I’m surprised at all the negative comments because so far none of this has happened to me. I even plan on buying another purse that wasn’t available when I purchase my Azur if the quality is there.
Well I also ordered from them around the end of August and my bag just came and is a total piece of garbage. Wish I had read this reviews and not wasted my money. Let’s see if I can get a return now cause I am super mad!
I have ordered from PV last year and since then have tried well over 10 other sellers. I bought five bags from PV and while quality was mixed, I’d say it overall It’s definitely on the lower end of replica quality. The other biggest drawback that I have discovered is their prices are incredibly inflated (even with supposed discount). Customer service was fine although I had to keep changing my bags (as at the time they had bags listed that were no longer in stock). The main thing I am not comfortable with is the link between Eva Knox and pursevalley. I thought she was a third party advocate at first but it all seems very fishy how PV can do no wrong when clearly there are so many reviews and pics on the web that prove otherwise. You only have to see PVs actual stock photos to tell that they don’t specialise in the reality high quality reps. I remember one post by Eva was a LV capucine she bought from PV. It looked so terrible and yet she was telling readers how wonderful it was, but her own pictures gave away how poor of a rep it was. That was definitely warning bells on the connection to Eva and PV.
I ordered a LouisVuitton roses neverfull bag from them last week after reading Eva Knox and I just received the bag today and it was a disappointment.I think the quality of the bag was pretty good if it was just the plain neverfull but the color of the roses was really off. The color had a deep purple in it and it didn’t show that in their pictures. I contacted them today and I would really like to return it but after hearing the stories that makes me nervous. The rep I spoke with talked alot about them offering discounts but I really don’t think I would wear it. This was the most expensive replica bag that I’ve bought so I don’t really know which way to go with this. I have honestly bought better bags from ioffer.com at half the price. For those of you that returned your bags how much was return shipping?
I had the same experience purchasing a speedy 25 DA from PV. Everything about the bag is perfect, except for the color. It is so bad, I don’t use it and did not want to be bothered sending it back to avoid conflict with them. They just lost a customer because I buy elsewhere now. The best way to describe the color of the speedy azur i received is a very dirty dark cream color with a medium blue. The dirty cream color clashes with the gold hardware & vacheta. I wish I could post a pic to show. It’s a real shame the color is so bad because the rest of the bag is perfect!
Send me pictures and we can get a review up or I can add them to this post, my email is thepursequeen@hotmail.com
I got a reply from the rep offering me 20% off my next order ,like I would ever actually order from them again. I wanted to just go ahead and ship it back for a refund thinking that with my husbands 50% fedex discount that it may be ok but they send me an email saying I could only send it back via usps priority mail which I calculated was over $80. This is really just a hassle,I was so excited to get the bag and now I wish I had never seen the site.
Hi,With these websites , all you have to do is purchase via credit card and just in case seller does not cooperate with you, you contact the bank and open dispute/charge back on the item being not as described or defective and do not ship the items back, this way you get all your money back. This is what I did previously when they tried to scam Mr with inferior quality , even though I know what quality I should have received.
So what are the good sites if these are bad?
Can you really get your money back that way? Or does the credit card company basically view it as tough luck for you purchasing a replica item? Bc I was thinking of chancing it but just using the credit card only I wasn’t sure it would protect me enough
I was sad to see poshmoda teamed up with purse valley!!! Poshmoda was a great site ordered several bags from them! The bags are nice, exact replicas and received on time! No complaints but I won’t order from purse valley I hope poshmoda comes back
I bought from Pursevalley.cn twice. Once was in April of 2016 no issues except one item was crap, but overall it was a good experience. Most recently I ordered on 8/30/16 my order still hasn’t shipped, I’ve been refused a refund and I’ve been given the run around. The difference? The first time I ordered via credit card, and the second time I paid with Western Union. I am furious, and will never do business with them again.
What happened with Western Union? Did they not send the money to Pursevalley or is PV saying that they didn’t get your money from Western Union? See, this is exactly the reason why I won’t use Western Union, the problems with them are too often to be coinsidence
I am afraid I may be screwed since I paid by Western Union. There is not much I can do, but hope!
Follow up so far for my post above regarding the unbranded Birkin from Pursevalley. I called and spoke to a representative who asked me to email pictures which I did. I received an email about a day later stating I could either return the bag for an exchange or I could keep the bag and give it as a gift to someone and receive a $70 credit towards my next purchase. No mention of refund. Since I would never carry an unbranded Birkin and was already nearly $400 in the bag I decided to go ahead and send it back. The shipping back to China was $85 just to let you know.I must say the customer service has been really nice and helpful throughout all of this. I am not seeing the rudeness that others have said about them in their reviews. Maybe if you contact them with a certain tone in your voice (like you are already mad) they won’t be as helpful. Not sure. But I was totally nice when talking to them and they have been totally nice and professional back. I sent them the tracking with pictures of the receipt and a few days later they sent me my new tracking number. My bag is currently getting turned over to USPS in China and getting ready to ship to America. I should receive it next week some time if it goes as quickly as the last one. I will send another update as soon as it arrives to give my final review. Now I have closer to $500 in this bag so I am hoping for the best!
I bought from PV first time too because they advertise soo much everywhere. Big mistake. It took me a year to get over that experience. But now that I shop at other places like DD I don’t think I can ever go back to buying real again because of the money I am saving. Replica buying isn’t easy but it pays off if you find a good seller and build a relationship with them
I received a bag from PURSE VALLEY . First of all this was NOT an exact replica the bottom of this louis vuitton had metal feel and the real one does not . I was larger and stiffer then the real one . The strap broke 1 week after purchase . They sent another (and I only opted for this because it was $70 to send back) The second strap broke 6 weeks later and when I wanted to return the bag they would not. DO NOT EVER BUY FROM PURSE VALLEY
