It couldn’t be clearer that Michael Tonello is still behind The Purse Forum Advisory. Why? Simple. No one else shares his particular vendetta against specific people associated with PF and parts of the forum.
Like gigi123. Like grands fonds. Like promoting Createurs de Luxe (and why they want to get into bed with him is beyond us. Several people have commented both privately to us and for publication here that knowing this, they would never now do business with this company) and his friend Peter Nitz at Luxury Zurich. Like the whole Hermes obsession. Quite frankly, no one but Michael Tonello and his sidekick Donna Lehtonen care a whit about those things.
He also has several, shall we say, unique turns of phrase that he has used consistently over all his hate blogs. And that always gives him away. We loved that the blog is now noted, at the bottom, as being a “parody”. Since Mr. Tonello doesn’t seem to know what the word parody means, allow us to enlighten him: a humourous imitation of a serious piece of writing. Exactly what Michael Tonello seems to feel he’s parodying is a mystery to us. In our dictionary, what he’s doing is spelled “harassment”.
So don’t believe for a second that because Michael Tonello took his name off his blog and put our blog title on his (and thanks again, mate – it’s driven a ton of traffic our way and we really appreciate it!) that he has nothing to do with PFA. As is his persistent habit, he’s just lying to PFA readers. Again. It’s just who he is.

I will never do business with CDL, Luxury-Zurich, nor anything to do with LuxuryObssessed. He was "friends" with the tramp duchess, she dumped him but he was on her "team" early on. I dislike him and he got it back from duchess so did too many others to mention.They deserved it!
It's easy to pick out the duchess's posts here, nasty piece of work. She's an ugly excuse for a human.
Tonello totally gives himself away when he mentions gigi123. I looked at her stats on TPF and she joined Aug.6, 2006, and posted 41 times and her last visit was a couple weeks later on Aug. 19,2006. I'm sure that with such a short stay on TPF that no one else remembers her, especially after FIVE YEARS!! Except Tonello who has some sort of personal issue with her.
Yet he still mentions her TPF name and somehow he got her real name and he mentions that as well.
I also will no longer do business with L-Z and have crossed CDL off my list, as have lots of others that I know. As they say, "birds of a feather, flock together!" AND "the friend of my enemy is my enemy."
How can a writer not understand the meaning of a parody? One hell of a smacking-forehead moment. Thank god for intelligence separating real writers from wanna-be's. I know where my money is going to go.
"As is his persistent habit, he’s just lying to PFA readers. Again. It’s just who he is."
He is consumed by his own personal vendetta against a forum that had banned him. His life must be awful not being able to live life. Some say it's his curse. Karma sure surfaces its head in the most unexpected ways. The more lies he spews, the more evil he does, the deeper is his shit.
I will also never buy from the guys at LZ due to their association with MT.
They have lost a lot of customers because of their ties with him as lots of my friends now also stopped buying from them since knowing that they play together.
It's turned out to be an expensive relationship for them
I wonder if Michael has even maintained a friendship with Pete Nitz at Luxury-Zurich. He claims to be his friend, but I don't see it.
But, I'm with the rest of you. No way I would do business with LZ or Createurs Deluxe due to their relationship with him.
Maybe that was Michael's goal all along. Ruin the resellers?
It is not difficult to scratch LZ and CDL off your shopping list. They have both priced themselves out of existence by artificially raising their prices to beyond a reasonable profit for a reseller. I don't know if LZ has a real relationship with MT or he invented it. CDL has made the error of linking herself and her blog to him. Why she would want to be publicly associated with such a nasty rumor mongering person is beyond comprehension. Turkeys fly with turkeys.

Time for me to go to hell! I just bashed the TPF! OH NO! I better make sandwiches for my husband quickly before I get roasted overnight! BOO HOO! LOL.

Why not make him a SPAM sandwich. It's not heart healthy but he loves them, duchess! LOL
"CDL has made the error of linking herself and her blog to him. Why she would want to be publicly associated with such a nasty rumor mongering person is beyond comprehension."
CDL should have kept her distance from making any association with anyone. She had a reputation as a good H reseller. I remember reading about some nasty piece of shit that hacked into her website and the great length she went to regain her business. She should continue her business as a standalone, regardless of whether she and MT had a friendship or not. Business is business. Friends can be good and bad. In this case, her friendship is dragging her through mud.
I find it terribly hard to believe that Peter Nitz is MT's friend. MT might have bought from Peter as means to know more about Pete, in his devious about way. I hardly think MT really has any respect for any other human being other than himself. Pete would be nice to just anyone.
"Time for me to go to hell!" ....
Yes, please go. Promise you that you won't be missed.
From PFA:
" tPF is official the "mean girls" we all grew up with in junior high and high school."

It is!!!!! duchess really belonged there, meanest of them all.
Anon at 5:49pm I agree with you. I think this is just another case of MT wanting the world to think that he has respectable friends. MT probably bought a paperclip from Pete once so now he thinks they are BFF.
Pete is a smart man. And he has many tpfer friends. He would be in the know about that nasty blog PFA that belongs to MT. I bet he will remain civil to MT in the midst of all MT's malicious acts. I bet you, if MT crosses Pete and even tries to ruin his business, I doubt Pete will stay quiet. At this point, it's all nice and rosy between them. MT will never have true friends. Serves him right for all the evil things he has done.
Further proof that Donna Lehtonen's heavily and actively involved on PFA. Her name is masked over there. If there was absolutely no connection, as in the scenario that PFA is independent of either MT or DL, a blog owner would dismiss her request to mask like WTF. But the fact that it's done, it's proof.
Tonello has also started redacting other names.
"Tonello has also started redacting other names."
Yawn. That's what he is. Predictable. Leopard never changes its spots. All his mind is pre-occupied with, is to hit out at people. He should install more mirrors in his own home, and reflect on what sort of person he is today.
I see Michael Tonello of PFA is re-posting the picture of the Hong Kong meet up that he originally posted on Dec. 13, 2010. What is his point?
They are lovely ladies looking like they had a great get-together. Those who are posting hateful remarks on PFA about them are obviously jealous wannabes. Those pictured are ladies who all have the same passion in life and they obviously enjoy getting together to share their love of Hermes. This is not unlike a car club. You could just as easily find pictures of members of the BMW Car Club or Porsche Car Club standing beside their prized automobiles.
Regarding the August 17 PFA post showing a “fake” Birkin ….
Well, according to Michael Tonello, PFA’s owner, a bag can’t be authenticated from a photo so I guess he will have to see it in person to know if it is fake. Right?
PFA
"At least they are willing to post pictures. I'm so tired of members coming up with excuses for NOT posting pics of their HUGE collections, when other members call them out for bragging. *audreylita* comes to mind. I'm not holding my breath for the pictures of her Hermes bags and Chanel blazers TOGETHER. lol"
August 17, 2011 5:27 PM
duchess, don't worry about "audreylita". She's doing better then you ever did married to the hippo. She can wear her vast Hermes collection with her gorgeous Chanels. She's getting married tomorrow. You are a jealous sow. lol idiot!

LOL!!!!! Yes, according to the self-proclaimed Hermes guru and expert, authenticity by pictures is impossible. So he says all the time on his horrible blog PFA but goes onto all other bag forums and tells people which bags he thinks are real and fake. He never thought that he could be outed on the other blogs he frequented. Devious or what! See, lies always, always get found out.
"This is not unlike a car club. You could just as easily find pictures of members of the BMW Car Club or Porsche Car Club standing beside their prized automobiles."
In life, you will always have people who come together to have fun. Some common thing would bind people together. Whether it's a hobby, race, ethnicity, or material things. What it is, people need an ice breaker of sorts. So these lovely ladies came out because of a common love. So what it's Hermes that drew these people out and helped form friendships! In their own spaces, they probably enjoyed their H very quietly and were so relieved to find their "own kind". That's joy to be had. But no, malicious, bad-mouthing MT and duchess would make something bad out of nothing. And want to spoil people's fun. They endeavour to throw bad light onto anything that wasn't meant that way. A person must be stupid to even believe the ideas that these 2 creeps fabricate.
I say JOY to the H ladies. And MT and duchess are NOT invited. Don't expect any red carpet invitation. The H world sees them with deep contempt.
