Folks, a reader of Fashionscandal – Ankita sent this info to me as a part of a comment on one of my previous Blogs -"Prasanna Bhaskar to Quit Ferragamo in December". She writes:
"I agree we shud not point fingers at individuals but it is also important for us not to cheat on our customers. Vimal, Prasanna & Ashish together have been cheating a lot of customers. They raise prices of products and sell to customers to meet budget. Sonam Kapoor had bought a clutch from the Delhi store for which the price was increased as the team was told that she would not get to know. They hve been doing this with a lot of their VVIP clients like Richard Madhok, Gaurav Khullar etc and it is sad as no luxury brand would do a thing like this. She would sell exotic leather in the store and tell the press that they are only press samples. She used to pick up store pieces from the Bangalore store and keep for herself. It is better not to have a management rather than have people like them who kill the brand." If anybody who is reading this can find out from Sonam how much she payed for the clutch she picked up from Salvatore Ferragamo at DLF Emporio in New Delhi, I will personally check if she was made to pay more and then take up the issue with Ferragamo bosses.
Also selling products made out of Exotic Leather is ILLEGAL and it needs to be verified upon.
Folks I am not so well versed on this – if it is a legit business to sell Exotic Leather goods in India. Informed readers of this blog are requested to throw light on this.
Sonam Kapoor bought a Salvatore Ferragamo Stingray Razza Long Clutch from the Ferragamo Store in DLF Emporio in New Delhi and for, which she was scrupulously overcharged by Rs.15,000 by the Store management. I mentioned about Sonam getting fleeced by Ferragamo, India in this Blog but Soam didn't care to bother. Agree she's making enough money to ignore a paltry 15 grand but on the hindsight, possible that she kept mum because she bought an Exotic Stingray clutch, which may not be a legal thing to do.
I think dealing in Exotic Leather Goods is not Legal or else why would Louis Vuitton store in Delhi be raided few years back???
It's not just Salvatore Ferragamo that may be selling Exotic Leather Goods. I myself saw premium De Grisogono watches in Stingray Leather Straps.
If this is all illegal, we must bring it to the notice of the authorities.
