Fabuleash...fab or waste of $$?

[Bitsy]

Just realized my mistake!
Btw, the jewel is $13, fab is $15, boutique is $17....so, not too big of a price difference. The jewel has a basic nylon handle, the fab has a nicer nylon handle, the boutique has a leather handle with little rhinestones on it.

We just take short walks and I think they are great. They are very strong too...as far as I can tell.

I ordered directly from the fabuleash...they have free shipping and the best prices that I have seen anywhere. There is much more info on their website.

Good luck friend!

I love my fabuleash. I use it on Moka who is very obedient, and doesn't pull. I like my dogs to walk at my pace at my side so it is plenty long enough for me and I think it feels very well made. I guess you could say I like everyone else's reaction to her leash as much as I like the look. When we walk by I hear people and kids say "ooooh look at that leash!" And Moka just prances....

Well looking at the online prices, I'm inclined to think the ones for $1 were a knockoff because that would be a HUGE discount to the original ones... However, I do not know first hand, so check it out and let us know!

The PETCO stores here in NYC were carrying the real ones for pretty cheap also- I think when I saw them they were on clearance for like 5.99 or something, they were for sure the real thing. This was awhile back, so they very possibly could have made it to the dollar bin. I asked someone in the store about them and they said they weren't going to carry them anymore because they weren't selling at all.

Oh Viv! The three of you will stop traffic for sure!!

Buddy belts....those are on my wish list big time! Talk about pricey!

[viviansnickers]

Ooooooo thanks ArmaniMan....calling to see if they have em near me!!!!!

If they were discontinuing the stock that makes sense. Unfortunately, they probably don't carry them anymore then if that was awhile ago!

I don't recall seeing anything like them at my Petco, but who knows if my area even had them in the first place. They do tailor some products to region and I can't see those being very popular here lol. I would have thought NYC would have grabbed them up though!

Called 2 places and all sold out. One place said they haven't seen them since last summer so doubt I will find one.

Poop!

Sorry Viv! If there are any around here (which I highly doubt) I will see if they have 2 jet black ones for you!

I'm positive they were Fabuleash brand. They had every color imaginable. I was pretty surprised that Petco carried them. I was very tempted to buy them all but after picking them up and feeling them I too thought they might break. So I put them back and didn't get any. I could look at mine this weekend and pick some up if anyone wants one. I'll let you know.

They were the real thing! I'm positive and they had every color too. Wow if I would have only know that someone would have wanted to buy them I could have picked up the entire bin. There had to have been 3 or 4 of each color. I almost bought for the GE and to donate to the YHR boutique.

Well apparently we all thought they were pieces of garbage that would break despite liking the look, so we wouldn't have wanted them back then...

Now we know they are actually sturdy and made from airplane wire and we want them, but they are nowhere to be found!

You could have made a killing in margins!

If you do happen to run across them again for $1, pick up one of each color for me and I'll reimburse you for the cost and shipping and your time lol.

I will be on the lookout for everyone as well!

[viviansnickers]

Yes, they were the real thing...Petco is discontinuing them b/c no one bought em.

If anyone seems them on clearance, def pick me up the black ones or any boyish color

Thanks-
Viv
