Hi all,

New poster here. Lurked a bit.

Wanted to inquire as to the authenticity of this Brunello Cucinelli sweater sold by VirtualClothesHorse (eBay user and has own webstore).

I know Brunello Cucinelli did this sweater design in F/W 2016. I've been on the hunt for it in the burgundy variant but this was all I could find.

I am happy I've finally found a version of it but do not want to end up with a fake.

Thank you!

VCH has been around a long time and one of the few eBay merchants I’d tend to trust.

With that said, the CW is that all things like this sold on eBay should be assumed fake until proven otherwise.

Right on. Thank you for the information. I've reached out to VCH for some extra pictures/info so I can further verify; but it is good to hear he's generally reputable.

Cheers

Yes, post pictures, that is the only way you'll be able to get a response. I won't be able to give you an answer but perhaps others will.
I have got an answer on these jeans. But just for fun I will post some pictures. Fake or real? K.

Admittedly not menswear as I believe these are women's pants but does anybody know if these Tom Ford ones are authentic?
They're pretty distinct but I can't find them in any collection online. Thanks!

need tags inside, and all typing stuff.
Also, a link where you bought it.

Hello All,

I have tried and tried to research on my own if this jacket is authentic or not. Coming up with nothing and I apologize in advance as this isn’t a men’s jacket. Wondering if anyone has an idea if they feel this jacket is real? I bought it at a thrift store recently. Thank you so much
