    OK ..... "Oh So Boho" It is not a brand, and it sure ain't "vintage"!!! So, the seller has misrepresented the item, thus, IMHO you have the right to a full refund.

    Naturally, if the seller fails to offer a full refund ..... Point out you will be only too happy to take the gloves off. ;)

    Far be it from me to intimate any impropriety on the part of the seller, however, if you are forced to take the gloves off, their response will speak volumes. ;)

    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,

    but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ..... wow what a Ride!

    Just been checking out this persons auctions for similar products and she's subsequently added an additional comment that 'So BoHo' is not the brand but the style.....

    hush

    what Tojo has found is the same bidder bidding on LOADS of this seller's auctions ... in other words one might think that it's their mate (or themselves under another name) "shill" bidding i.e. bidding just to push the price up.
