Hello!
I purchased a Ralph Lauren sweater from eBay which arrived today. I found some irregularities when I looked at the sweater more closely. My question would be is this a genuine product or not?
Thank you

If you look closely at the label there is a misspelling in the arabic.

Hello there , im glad to be here and you guys maybe can help me out .
i want to buy these offwhite shirts but I cant find out if they Fake or real.

I didnt find a thread with this question so I’m sorry if I’m wrong here !
Maybe you have an eye to spot a fake would be very nice !!! I’m scared to gift fakes on Christmas:-€

also it cost 200€ for both, would be scary to spend it to a fake :/

Hello! I need an opinion / confirmation that this Chanel top is fake. Found it at a thrift store. The quality of the material feels all right, could pass for vintage knit that is a little scratchy. But the labels don’t seem “fancy enough”. When I look up photos, I see there is one top like that being sold on Lyst, but when I go to Lyst site or app I can’t find it.
Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi there,

I’m not at all a Burberry “connaisseur”, could someone chime in and tell me if this one looks legit?


Thanks in advance,

the details look good. I’d say it’s authentic though I can’t speak to the vintage.
