I never seen in Gucci catalogs, stores, outlets such array of colors. DSW says these are authentic. When I called Gucci corporative office they didn’t know anything about DSW and they were very surprised. Meanwhile DSW still selling them month later. I can’t imagine DSW would sell fakes, it is known chain, not like some mom and pop’s store. Gucci hunt poor  Ebay sellers and end their auctions if they suspect the item is fake. So, I would imagine, they will not allow DSW to use their trade mark. So, what is this? Special deal Gucci has with DSW they don’t want admit?  Puzzle... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[n kogan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 27th 2010 1:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Giorgio Gucci Visits Capitol Hill To Protest Counterfeit Trade and Distribution]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/09/23/giorgio-gucci-visits-captiol-hill-to-protest-counterfeit-trade-a/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/09/23/giorgio-gucci-visits-captiol-hill-to-protest-counterfeit-trade-a/</guid><description><![CDATA[gucci knows nothing about those discounted stored because places like dsw do no buy there designer brands from the designers. it is brought from the department stores, and other high end stores that can't sell all that they brought from the designers. its simple. if i am Bergdorf goodman, and i ordered from gucci 100 pair of shoes and i can not sell all 100 pairs to my customers, i'm gonna sell the rest that i have to the discount stores. They will cut the price down to half or more, and that's how you get designer from dsw. thats why gucci did not know anything about dsw selling their products, its was because gucci wasn't the ones who sold them to them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[derrode]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 10th 2010 2:23PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
