Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

[giasty]

Hi everybody
They offered me a Louis Vuitton Christopher Backpack.
I kindly ask you if you think it is legit or fake.

 

[RapFan]

Is this isaia polo legit?

I want to say yes. My only concern is the buttons are not crowfoot stitched, but this could also be ISAIA saving time and money...which would disappoint me

what about the writing inside the shoes?

 

[stateczek_matula]

Are those Maison Margiela jeans real?
The quality seems very nice and all but the problem is with a few things:
- There is just "L" instead of full size like 36, 38 etc.
- There is this weird stitching connecting "made in Italy" tag with Margiela Tag

They seem to be first realised at AW18 and then reissued at about SS21 and are still avalible.

Please I need an expert's opinion bcs the quality is really good and it can be like a pre production version or something. And if no one knows anything please give me any hint on how to authenticate them.

Thank you for your reply.
The images are attached. Could you now then verify its authenticity?

Personally, looks like these Turkey fakes that are on the market. They use real crocodile, but still fake.

How can you verify its authenticity?? I’ve seen many crocodile skin jackets from ny and japan too and I’m not able to find a way to distinguish between them..

Experience & I know the Turkish & Russian seller who always sells fake Brioni, Kiton and Stefano Ricci. exactly this kind of models. With Kiton the most difficult to assume as they do not really have superb quality marks such as Ricci. You can always ask Kiton, if they can help you out.
I assume you payed like below $3000. I assume it’s Siamensis or China Alligator leather they use, with about 1200-1500€ just in skin cost. If they imported legally outside Turkey you have CITES paper and somehow verify authenticity.
As they always had size 50 and no tags… you can figure it out, how many “samples” in 50 should be on the market .

Anyone know about the various versions of this jacket?
Tom Ford ski puffer aka James Bond Solden jacket
Everything feels good but I cannot find any with the pockets on the edge b/w the puffer section and the knit, or any zippers that have engraving.
I’m hoping this is a really early version?
