‘This should be illegal’ shopper blasts as she gets catfished by a cosy coat that turns up and resembles a dressing gown
ORDERING clothes online can be risky, you never really know how well it will fit or even suit you at all.
But one woman’s online purchase turned out to be way worse than she ever imaged.
The fashion fan, who is called Taylor, forked out $60 (£47) on the cosy looking coat but what arrived couldn’t have been more different to the pictures on the website.
“Let me show y’all what I ordered,” she said. “Take a very good look cause what I got is insane.”
The video then cut to show Taylor wearing the coat, except it looked nothing the the picture.
In fact, it looked more like a dressing gown than a coat at all.
She raged: “Y’all, I’m going to stop shopping online. This should be illegal, what is this?”
Although the coat looked to be thick and made of wool in the pictures on the website, the coat Taylor received was actually made from a totally different material.
After the video was shared on social media it quickly went viral, and many people were just as shocked as Taylor.
“They sent you the bathrobe version,” one joked.
“They just sent you the lining.. the rest is sold separately,” a second commented.
A third wrote: “I almost spit out my drink, catfished!”
And another said: “Not them sending you a tablecloth with arm holes.”
Taylor later posted a follow-up video, explaining that she contacted the boutique she bought the coat from to return it.
She confessed she knew the coat wouldn’t be identical to the pictures, but had no idea how bad it would really look.
After starting the return process the fashionista sent pictures of her purchase to the boutique.
In response, they offered her a 30% refund so she could still keep the coat.
But Taylor wanted all of her money back, so said she would be sending it back to them anyway.
Since complaining, Taylor noted that the company has removed the coat from their website, although there is still a similar one available to buy.
