Balmain - Authentic or Fake?

[reganjs]

First and foremost I'd just like to say hello to everyone on the forum. I've been looking around here for a bit now and decided to join the forum. I unfortunately was not sure where to post this thread so I apologize if it's in the wrong section.

My dilemma is in two articles of clothing I have recently purchased online: I waited too long to buy them from ssense so I had to resort to eBay. When I finally found them I snatched them up. One being a pair of ivory biker trousers and the other being a biker inspired sweater. Both articles of clothing feel 'cheap.'

My doubts towards the clothing are the flowing:
- The construction of each item is poor
- The seams are already fraying in many spots and it seems as if some parts of the clothing were just stitched together by a single thread
- The overall construction and style of the sweater isn't exact
- The Balmain tags on the top aren't identical to my other Balmain pieces
- The wash tags look cheap compared to my other ones!
- Finally the buttons on the top of the sweater are held on with a single thread and seem as if I could crush them in my hand. They feel like plastic not aluminum

I'll attach photos below as I am on my mobile.

Thanks a lot guys I appreciate any help, maybe I'm just crazy.
