Saw this Glenroyal bag. The tag seems authentic? What does synthetic body mean? The bag is made by PU leather?

Hello, I bought two Zegna ties on eBay today.. wondering whether they are real or fake? They were listed at around $50 for both, but the buyer accepted my $30 bid.

theres nothing to suggest they’re not genuine. Enjoy wearing them.

it looks authentic but I’m just guessing. The LV pattern in the fabric seems to complicated and time consuming to try to knock off. Also, LV knock offs are more geared toward the ladies. LV is not necessarily a sought after men’s brand, certainly not for ties, Unlike Hermès.
Thank you!!!

Nothing really seems suspicious, it's 30$ for not so recent Zegna ties.

The price is ar 900 USD , big X-mas sale in the store which sometimes accused in selling counterfeit clothes.

Just curious why you bought it in the first place when you clearly had some reservations about it.
I hope it wasn’t final sale and can get a refund.

Dears , need your advice regarding this used Zilli leather jacket. The owner claims it is original , bought in Germany. Selling for 1000 EUR. I have some suspicions since lining is made not of silk and the inner label with materials (last picture) is not hand written .. please advice. Thank you !

There is a thread for this
Honestly if you don't know what you're looking for, stop trying to find Zilli and Stefano Ricci on the cheap. This looks very fake.

Hi, I would like some input regarding whether a Brioni leather jacket is authentic or not. The label containing what the lining/leather is derived from is missing and the pictures aren't the best. Does anyone have an idea or would I need to request better pictures than the ones I've attached?
