I have had a bad experience long time back with Ralph Lauren Polo Shirts. And since I never got the money back. I never returned to this site. However, since they are persistently advertising their wares on social media.
I hesitantly entered Elitify website and searched for Gucci Ace Sneakers to find the cost was 87, 190.00. I have been fancying Gucci sneakers for quite a while so I was taken aback by the price on Elitify. I felt the need to check the original Gucci website and understand what their pricing was. To my horror, Gucci is selling their sneaker for USD 590 that amounts to roughly INR 40, 000(exchange rate as on 10 July 2019).
Okay maybe they reason it on the custom duty and other charges. But the quality of product on Gucci is far superior than what Elitify is portraying.
The original Gucci has a white leather shoe with a green crocodile leather detail with Gucci embossed at the back. The one in Elitify is blue and the quality of the leather is shoddy(I question the authenticity of the leather as well) and Gucci is screen printed! Check my uploaded screenshots of both the websites and the product in question.
So in conclusion paying close to a lakh on a pair of shoes on a third party website is somehow not rewarding. I honestly suggest those who can afford such expensive pairs to buy from the authorised company stores where you can get the quality product for your money's worth.
Personally for me online shopping has been ruined by such websites and it's not just Elitify but huge brands like Amazon and Flipkart who have been toying with their customers' loyalty and trust.
