SHOPPER TRIES TO RETURN RACHEL ZOE BAG SHE BOUGHT FROM MARSHALLS. THEY TELL HER IT'S FAKE 

Over the last year, there’s been a spree of fake items showing up in places like Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and Saks OFF 5TH. Some scammers buy legit designer pieces—like handbags, wallets, and perfumes—swap them for fakes, and then return them to the store.

Affordable retailers caught (accidentally) selling fakes

In a trending Malay (@itsjustmalay) shared her recent “Marshalls Debacle” as she so aptly called it.

Malay recalls that a few months back, she was shopping with her mom and spotted a black faux leather shoulder bag that she was unsure about getting.

When Malay went to return it she was surprised by how much the Marshalls employee was inspecting the bag and looking at it every which way with a stank face. She even called over the manager, who went through the same motions.

The shopper reiterated to the Marshalls workers that she did purchase the bag like that from one of their stores, but they insist it’s not a real “Zoe.” “It wasn’t me,” Malay says.

But with the employees not budging on letting her make the return, Malay says she was just gonna have to donate the bag.

Some commenters said that the bag could still be an original. “I have this exact bag from Marshall’s and it doesn’t say anything. That’s the legit bag lol,” a person wrote.
