Hello,

My Name is Giuseppina Dasilva and my daughters name is Bianca Dasilva. Bianca Dasilva Purchased a bag NEVERF MM in October 2, 2014 at Bloomingdales in White Plains New York which she’s love the bag. Then she went in February to Purchase the Z. Wallet at the same location.
Bianca also bought a lovely mens wallet at the same place in March 21,2016.The Z.Wallet has been a night mare they had two repair this wallet twice already. I took the Z.wallet back in December of 2017 at Bloomingdales and the gentleman told me that is not normal to have the wallet repair twice he did take photos and email the corprate office. I never heard back from the store at Bloomingdales to let me know what is going on with the Z wallet. I went back into the store on January 6, 2018 to check up on the Z. wallet and they gentleman told me that he is really sorry with the holiday its been crazy but not to worry someone will contact you the next day. As of January 30, 2018 no-one contacted me…. I wide up going back the third time into the store at Bloomingdales.At this point I was lived. I did speak to a lovely lady name Kritina Ciuti at the store and she did email someone in front of me and told me and my daughter to return in 15 minute she will have an answer for me if they are going to replace the wallet or fix it. After returning to the sore the answer was they are going to fix it. I am so disappointing after spending almost $3000 for all of the items. How can they not replace a new wallet having it repair three times is not acceptable? I just keep getting the running around. I also spoke to three mangers they promise me they will call me back and never did. If I do not feel satisfied with your company at the end of our correspondence, I will be forced to take further action. I hope that you can redeem yourself as a company because as of right now I would not recommend you to a friend.

Mrs Dasilva
