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

[kbadgley84]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and would like to enquire on some of your expertise.

Recently I came across a seller selling his used Hermes ties. However, I am unsure of their authenticity and would thus, like to consult on you guys' opinions, especially the orange one before making the purchase.

I've read online as well as watched YouTube videos on how to spot a fake, but the orange one really gets me thinking. I'll insert some close-up shots the seller provided me with for the orange Hermes tie and I hope to get some good feedback

Thank you so much for the help rendered and I really appreciate it!

Can anyone help me verify if this dior t-shirt is authentic that i bought online from ebay/grailed? This is my first time buying a luxury product . However,the reason why im paranoid is because this is a season based item, which means once out of stock, dior usually wont restock them and if i am not wrong, it has already been out of stocks from Dior stores since august (thats when i first saw the t-shirt online and wanted to buy it so there is a possibility that it could have been out of stocks way before august AND WAS NEVER REPLENISHED IN DIOR STORES TILL DATE).

Thus, i am not sure where the stocks for the t-shirt i got is from, unless it is the situation where as long as the "season" is over for this t-shirt, dior will not re-stock it even if there are still leftovers in the warehouse. I actually went to ask online non-official retailers such as endlessclothing, mclabels and they mentioned that dior requested them to stop selling their items(dior) online in order to allow dior customers to have a more personal experience in their own Dior stores to ensure exclusivity and to ensure the product would not spread too widely. In this case, i supposed that online retailers will not be able to get the deadstocks or private warehouse discounts (connections) anymore and then sell them at a cheaper price as compared to retailers?

Thus, how is it possible that some retailers are still able to sell BRAND NEW "authentic" dior clothes and also at a cheaper rate?"

Just an update, this piece sold by NYMilan (who also owns a online store called shop375_), is proven to be non-authentic, now i have to send back to them to get the refund back (by paypal)

one of the give key point was the t-shirt label.
It supposed to be labeled like this (as dior always list all the clothes fibre on their apparel and for this piece, its supposed to be 100% cotton (inclusive of the embroidery) and not exclusive of embroidery as shown below in the first image. or maybe there is a mistake made by the authenticator? different manufacturing places type the label differently? is there a possibility?

The fakes one are like this:

Hey guys!

This is my second post after my first one in the self-introduction page!

I have recently purchased a cashmere/silk cardigan from Ebay, as I am still very green for online auction, I would like to request for some assistance from the experts to provide some feedback whether if the garment is legit or not.

Please see below the pictures taken

Thank you people in advance!

Real

The logo inside seems of very bad quality. And also this is strange. It is sewn only on one side. Is that normal?

 

[othertravel]

Do you have pictures of the botton of the shoes?

Why would anyone go to the trouble of faking Church's shoes? Makes no sense.
