Please please please do some research before paying high prices for non-authentic Spell. There are many out there, and several on posh. Don't fall for the scams and have to deal with the annoyance of opening a case. You deserve the real thing for these prices.
The real Gypsy Dancer dress directly from Spell is 100% Viscose. They do not create garments out of polyester.
Also note that the size printed on the small tag will always be in a handwritten font - never geometric. Please share.

@iamgeni I won't even shop eBay, too many awful intentions! I've actually only ever bought Spell from them directly! Were you able to shop unicorn tears? Have my fingers crossed for Monday !

@inthenighttime I was! My jet strappy is due to arrive today. Can't wait! How about you? 💕

@iamgeni I didn't shop the first drop, not because I didn't love everything! I don't like to show my arms, a quirk of mine 😜🙈, but I loved the strappy dress! It was GORGEOUS. So glad you got it. I'm trying to get my hands on the playdress this Monday! Lord I am anxious over it lol

@iamgeni well I'll cross my fingers for both of us 😂 also what fb Spell trading groups do you recommend? I have an item I think I want to trade bc I've never worn but I'm clueless!
Mar 11Reply

iamgeni
@inthenighttime I usually post in the US group first, just because shipping is easier. I'll give it a couple of days, then post in the huge Aussie group. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding swapping, payment, shipping, etc. I've been doing it for too long, and I'm happy to help. 😂 😘

Ladies, I advise that everyone join the Facebook group "Spell Designs Fake Help and Identification." A lot of research has been done by the admin, even speaking directly to Spell. There are tons of photos, and you can post photos of items before you buy and a caring community of girls will help you make the best decision. 💘

@iamgeni do you mind mentioning the names of the groups or how to find them especially the big Aussie group? ❤️
Mar 11Reply

iamgeni
@blueberrie Sure! There are 2 US groups: "Spell & the Gypsy Collective / MATE the Label buy, sell, swap USA" and "GYPSY LOVE Spell & the Gypsy Collective and custom creations." The Aussie group is called "Spell Designs Buy, Swap and Sell." 💕
Mar 11Reply

blueberrie
@iamgeni thank you so so much ❤️ you are the best helping out everyone 😘
Mar 11Reply

iamgeni
@blueberrie Of course! I'm happy to. Be sure you read the rules of each group, because they do vary. For example, you cannot list an item for over RRP (recommended retail price) in the Aussie group, which really keeps it fair for everyone. ✨

@iamgeni I genuinely just wanna buy 🙈 but that's so good to know I hope they will be willing to ship to USA 🙊

@blueberrie 99% of the girls are willing to. I've embarrassingly purchased way too many items from that group. 🙈😂✨

@iamgeni wow. Wish they did that on eBay and Poshmark. Ridiculous when they person clearly bought something off the site and then puts it on eBay or Posh for like $800... sooooo wrong!!

@rock_rollkitten I think I know who you're talking about. Chicago seller. Sold so many fake Bluebird sold as well as FL&L. Has told clueless buyer after buyer authentic when they're not. I reported all her fake listings but Posh won't do anything. She's making them mad cash. Not classy at all. @iamgeni Thanks for this 🤗

@kandyland69 yes, it is her current listing that I have screengrabbed above . I've reported her every time. I'm so fed up. 😡
Mar 11Reply

kandyland69
@iamgeni thank you!!!! Glad I'm not the only one. But it bums me out we can't stop her and how much she's screwing up the authentic pool. Damn shame. I lucked out with a Unicorn Tear Paradiso and I'm in 💖. Crossing my fingers on some Xanadu. Wish I had discovered Spell when they first appeared 😩

@iamgeni May I pick your brain real quick? Red wanderer on Depop. Is that one authentic?
Mar 11Reply

rock_rollkitten
@iamgeni @kandyland69 Actually, this person is in Texas. She abandoned her first account here for another one with a new name, but she also sells tons of fake FLL as well. She thinks she's really slick...I've called her out on stuff before and she just lies, lies, lies. Can't get through to some people. I especially hate when women rip off other women. Something innately despicable about that...Xx

I just saw a Gypsy dancer that is 100% poly and I feel terrible bc I shared it. I checked the tag on my dress that I have and it is viscose. The seller (from Chicago) says she purchased at revolve and they have poly blend. She is questioning me on where I bought mine but she blocked me so I can't respond. But I did message Spell to ask if the dresses for Revolve were made in polyester to clear it all up.
Mar 11Reply

iamgeni
@marleyblue Sadly, that same seller also sold a few HP dresses. The bell sleeve one clearly has the wrong tags. I also have never seen French instructions on a spell care tag like hers shows. 😳

@iamgeni That's terrible to sell a fake but then to claim authentic and charge prices as if it were is shameful. I appreciate this listing and have messaged the fake group for membership. Thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing this, I bought a fake folktown dress last week and it's currently under posh review. I can't believe that someone would try to take advantage of you that way, ya know?

Hi again, since you seem like the poshmark resident expert lol, I was wondering if you could tell me off the top of your head if there are spell fakes in the babushka line yet? I just read through all your comments here, about to look at your other fake spell listing. I just bought the burnt orange kimono and the tag seems off to me. :/
Apr 10Reply

@marisabel82 Hi! I haven't seen any babushka fakes yet, but if you are concerned at all, post photos on the FB page so all of us can see and help... it's sad, but I do think new ones are being created every day! 😭

marisabel82
@iamgeni It is sad, & aggravating:/ I think I'm 1 of the only people on this planet who's never had a Facebook acct lol, funny that a clothing line of all things, is what has finally pushed me to open up one lol. The care tag looks rt and it has the price tag still, but It's missing the size tag, just seems weird considering it supposedly has never been worn. Thanks for advice :)

blue_anemone
@iamgeni Thanks again for all your help on here! Can you tell me how to ID a fake Gypsy dancer maple skirt (I’m not on FB)? I just bought one, tags all seem fine...it’s 100% viscose, but the material is super shiny and very different from any of my other Spell skirts or dresses (and nothing like my Black Gypsy dancer strapy dress). Also, is there anywhere to just find a list of the Spell prints and styles that have been copied for reference? Thank you!
May 03Reply

iamgeni
@blue_anemone Hi! Yes, the gypsy dancer gown and skirt are both made of a viscose that is kind of shiny/slippery, while the sundress is a cotton/rayon blend. The fabric is definitely different than most of their other viscose garments. As far as I know, there are no fakes of the skirt, just the maple gown. As long as you have Spell tags and the content is viscose, it is authentic.
May 03Reply

iamgeni
@blue_anemone The most comprehensive list is found in that FB group. The list on the Spell site also includes garments with their stock photos used elsewhere, not necessarily fakes, so it is incredibly misleading. Hope that helps! ❤️

@iamgeni hi! I was just wondering if I could have Tory help! I saw your post and think that I’ve been scammed in the past with a spell Shirt. I have the wanderlust tee, with the horse on it. I paid large amounts (almost $300) for it and for some reason I’m starting to think it’s a fake after a year or so of having it. I’ve looked at all the tags and just can’t really tell if it would be fake or not because I don’t have very many Spell pieces.
Jun 29Reply

sydschwend
@iamgeni would you possibly have any idea of different things I could look for? I’ve gotten a few raglans and the xl is way to tight because I’m large chested and they’re not very stretchy. The tee I have is a Medium and pretty stretchy. This is one reason I think it might be fake - thank you for all the help in advance. :)
Jun 29Reply

iamgeni
@sydschwend Hi! There aren’t any fakes of the Wanderlust tee. Their older tees are more forgiving than many of the raglans. I’ve had to size up in a couple of the raglans because they are so slim, especially in the arms. ❤️
Jun 29Reply

sydschwend
@iamgeni thank you! I am so relieved. The seller I bought it from has recently gotten in a lot of trouble for selling fakes. I really appreciate the help! :)

@iamgeni hi I’m sorry to be another person to bombard you with help questions. I recently purchased a spell lovebird kimono and the material just seems off to me. It says 100% viscose and has all the Spell tags but I’m still not convinced. I paid a ridiculous amount for it and am hoping it’s authentic. It wrinkles easily and feels like chiffon somewhat. I expected it to feel like my Delilah kimono and that’s definitely not the case.
Jul 11Reply

iamgeni
@yessi1228 Hi! Yes, the lovebird kimono surprised everyone! It is nothing like the dress, rather a more sheer, more slippery fabric. A lot like wildflower. I do not believe there are fakes of this kimono (yet) so yours should be real if it has the Spell tags. 😘

@iamgeni thank you 🙏🏽 I was almost in tears when I opened it. But feel so much more at ease now. The quality is still a little disappointing but I’m sure I’ll get over it. Thanks again 😊

@iamgeni just wanted to run something by you...did the amber babushka gown ever have tassels? I owned one and traded it. Mine did not have tassels and it was authentic. I just noticed one here on posh and it has tassels. I don't want to report and cause trouble for no reason.
