That background is really messing with my eyes
Haha I know, sorry!!
Yeah that's weird. It's like she's standing diagonally lol. Not standing up or lying down. This is some gravity defying thrift buy knockoff analysis stuff.
I know 😂😂
NOTHING is worth damaging your e-commerce reputation or getting your account suspended/closed.
Great video :)
Those pants are real I’ve come across items with no size dot ;however the newer items do all have a size dot.
Just FYI, Lululemon didn't put size dot in items made in 2015. Upon customer complaints, they returned to putting in the clothing again in 2016
This is true, and I’d like to add that just because the tag is no longer there, doesn’t mean fake but that someone simply ripped out the tag. I have tons of authentic lulu with no size dot and no tag. One thing to look for is the quality of stitching and matching/meeting of seams. I see this so much in fake Stride jackets. One more thing, tags that feel and look silky versus the ‘paper’ feel of real ones are definitely fake. I’ve seen so many hoodies at Value Village with these tags, and hoodies in patterns/prints that Lululemon never made. A true Lulu fanatic has learned all of these things. LULU fan since 2010.
Thanks for posting, great info! Enjoying your videos. I started reselling in October myself, quit my job in the financial industry and I'm loving it. Keep the videos coming.
Oh my goodness, this video was so helpful! I just started reselling and the same thing literally happened to me today! Hence, the reason I’m searching for videos. Same exact thing, went to the GW bins today and got beyond excited to find Lululemon. Thanks so much and I’m so happy I didn’t list my fake pants either!
Thank you for this valuable information!!! Very helpful!
Am I having an acid flash back or is the wall moving?
I’ve had a couple size dots come off over years of wearing and washing and I bought them from the lululemons website.
Love your refreshing videos. More videos, please!!!
You are adorable!!! Keep up the good work! I'm your new fan!!!
Hey Bethany!
Just subbed today.
Good Vid!
Thx for the tip!
love your videos! Please make more!
Thank you for posting your video. Your video has been a big help and informative to me. I agree about the material feeling off.
Shorts::
I noticed lululemon girls shorts have different zippers, stitching is smaller and stitch pattern is different. I just bought pre worn lulu on eBay in a same color I already own but in a different size, big difference in quality, the tag location , zipper and the rows of stitching on the inside of the shorts as well as the sewn in undergarment feels rough and sticks to the fake shorts.
Received 2 shirts as well that I am pretty sure are not lulu. Sadly, I will not attempt to buy pre owned/worn lulu on eBay again. 😂
Thanks for this! However I really hope you reconsider just throwing them away, like even cut them into shorts instead so there's not fake logo but there's so much textile in landfills that people could use . Just a thought of how to donate them without giving people the idea that they are lululemon
Love your videos!
That’s good to know but what about the Lululemon that don’t have pockets anywhere and no tag? How do we know if they are real or not? All my Lululemon stuff is from the Lululemon store but some of my leggings don’t have inside pockets.
Interesting..I've thought about doing what you're doing too but now I'm scared of all the potential knock offs in the racks/bins. Any advice on things you're likely NOT to have knock offs made? For example:Have you found banana republic knock offs, that's probably common enough/not designer that no one would bother to make a knock off of
Thanks for sharing !
I watched your video where you shared your numbers for your first monthj. I thinkl they were outrageous! AWESOME! HOW???? DID YOU DO THAT??
old post I get it....but remember, Lululemon has been in business since 1998 so unless you've owned and experience all their leggings since then, it's easy to say they're fake just because one is not familiar(or doesn't look right) with the logo.
Logos have changed numerous times throughout the years. They're not always the same silver. Some were white. Some are colored, some are rubberized, some are foiled and some are metallic.
Size dots have changed throughout the years. There were times when LLL didn't even use size dots. There were also years (between 2015 and mid 2016) that the size dots were known to fall off in the wash.
I'm sure you're familiar with Lulufanatics and how to search using the style numbers....but even they do not have every style that's been released.
I think one can't be too quick to say "they're fake" just because of the reasons you pointed out. Again, the shear number of legging styles produced since 1998 is unfathomable. I've owned nearly every style since 2014 so have familiarized myself with all the fabrics and styles...and of course, how all those styles compare to current styles. Yes there are fakes...but the fakes are a fraction of a percentage compared to how many styles LLL has released.
Serious note...my LLL legging hoard/collection is well over 400 pairs and it's how I've familiarized myself with the brand, their fabrics, and all the intricate details. (not even going into how many leggings of other brands I have).
Most people, these days, only have experience owning Aligns....maybe Wunder Trains and Fast & Frees too. But that's it. So knowledge is very limited.
Correct, yes, I’ve owned and experienced all their leggings and it’s still easy for me to say and spot what is fake and what isn’t.
great video... your Instagram is one the best... enjoy your weekend!
thanks for sharing!
I was just reading up on LLL & from what I learned, they're not putting size dots on everything, which is STUPID.
Thanks for posting this. It's really a struggle to identify knock offs sometimes because the obvious goal of these rats is to make the fakes just good enough that people not only buy them but feel ok with using them. I don't find a lot of Lulu around here. I mean, I've found zero. I suspect it's because south Louisiana is often a little behind the trend on fashion. I bet I'll start seeing it sold in a few years. LOL Anyway, with ebay's VeRO kicking up on fakes I appreciate seeing another fake comparison. Joe State did a video two weeks ago on fake True Religion jeans. Even THEY got pinched with a fake pair. So thanks. I've been selling for years and I appreciate these videos a lot.
Very helpful. I have one lululemon piece and it doesn't have size tag so maybe I have a fake. I think the fake pants you have are still wearable. Not everyone resells online and they are still wearable :)
I agree!! I really hate seeing anything that people can use just be thrown away! I'd say keep them for yourself or even like just cut the bottoms off so the logos gone or something lol
Why not just donate them? No use just throwing away good pants.
It it normal for a size dot to have the letter A on them or should I be concerned?
After some washes tags it get. softer so I pull them out. They can be very itchy... I will only sell my own lulus with no tags...
I just ordered some off of ebay and I think I got scammed so I'm going to the store today and have someone look at them for me🤦🏽 they just dont feel right they are men shorts and I can't find the size dot
Thanks for the info!! I’ve thought about what your doing but I just can’t get past the fact people shop at good will and resale. The clothes at good will are for those from low income households……I dunno I’d feel like a piece of crap taking from them and making an income off them.
Of course! You’re welcome!:)
New subscriber. I do the same in Denver. It's addicting and I've been doing it full time for 3 years. I'm sure I will run into you at the bins one day. I typically go 3x/wk and spend 5 hours/day there. It's kinda gross but ya never know what they will be wheelin out. Good luck.
I have a couple of pieces purchased from Lululemon online store that don't have a size tags inside the pockets.
Sucks that you can't sell it but at least you found out prior to listing. I've never even heard of that brand. My daughter wants to try and sell her clothes on depop app. Have you ever done it? Just wanted your opinion on it. The good and the bad. I've never heard of it since I don't do any kind of reselling.
do you know how to spot a fake vintage adidas track suit?
yea that background looks like she's laying down lol. so how would you right that off as an expense or just take the loss and not record it?
Ok so I have lulus from Plato’s closet and they have a mesh side from the knee down and it kinda widens into a triangle and they look like normals lulus other than that but I can’t find them anywhere and they are in the color black cherry I just don’t know what they are
Yes, size dot will always be inside a pocket. Dead give away if no size dot.
Can you tell me how is it going with your decision of changing jobs?
anny rr she made a video already.
what bins do u go for i live in denver too
watch her other vids - She pretty much covered many top trending brands on ebay - or you could search solds on ebay. Good Luck
I have seen fake luluelmons and the material is really thing almost ripping at the seams and have a way different silver spoon
Totally agree with seeannsave. yes people buy at thrift stores for themselves but you shouldn't support "knock offs" .glad to hear they were thrown away. just my 2 cents.
my logo is black... i probably got scammed
They have leggings with black logos as well it might just be older ones
@@buuub2292 hopefully!!
Love your videos 😀🎉💕💞
Oh no very scare 😱 💀
I just watched you video and you sound like Anna delvey 😂
that seams mean.
Thank you for this video! I just fell for the fake Lululemon as well as Marc Jacobs. Lessons learned. I had thought of throwing the crap in the trash and not redonate and after watching your video, I will definitely be destroying them and tossing them ✂️ 🗑 another reseller that I watch and follow calls this ‘tuition’ for the education on what not to buy and pay better attention.
They look fake
The stitching seems off as well.
If I had a dollar for every time she clicked her tongue and said "soooo"...
..then you'd still be poor.
Are u single?
You got the pants at goodwill... what did you expect? You freaked out cuz you bought fakes for probably 10 cents
LaverlyLove A lot of her videos are designed to help fellow resellers and share what she's learned through selling on eBay. I think this one was just intended to make people aware that they need to be careful of accidentally selling counterfeit merchandise (and how to tell if they might have picked up something inauthentic) because it's illegal and could get them into very big trouble! ☺
these clothes are never at thrift ... this is not a job
