Kiton jumpers authenticity/legitimacy of seller?

[Ralph Dior]

Hello all,

I have bought few kiton things from an ebay seller who has multiple accounts:

https://www.ebay.com/usr/serc74

https://www.ebay.com/usr/tac087

https://www.ebay.com/usr/le4533

https://www.ebay.com/usr/leth_95

These are his active listings for example:

Kiton Men's Crewneck Sweater 80% Cashmere 20% Silk Black US Size M Light-Weight | eBay

Style: Crew Neck Sweater, Regular Fit. Light Weight for All Seasons. Color: Black.

www.ebay.com

KITON V-NECK SWEATER PRESIDENTIAL BLUE CASHMERE & SILK US SIZE M NWT LIGHTWEIGHT | eBay

Color: Presidential Blue. Style: V-Neck Sweater, Long Sleeve, Lightweight for All Seasons. EU Size: M/50 // US Size: M/40.

www.ebay.com

Can anyone give advice if these kiton items are authentic? Also is this seller legitimate?

These are the ones I previously bought (see pictures) but now I'm not sure they authentic.


Many thanks

Authentic. I own lots and lots of Kiton, those are real. People make fake Gucci/Louis Vuitton items because that’s what the masses love. No one is making fake Kiton as most people outside of this forum and the ultra wealthy even buy or have heard of Kiton.

Thank you for your message. I was a little concerned after I did a Google reverse image search and found the same items including the images he's used on ebay, coming up as Chinese non branded sweaters. See below. Let me know your thoughts.

As you can see these are identical to the one I bought and one I showed in the sellers listings, even the image is using the same model.

I think it’s the wish.com and Ali express sellers taking pictures from Kiton most likely. I see this happen from time to time. Sketchy dropshippers take the official image from a reputable maker. The eBay seller probably took the official Kiton image and also sold the real Kiton item, while the sites you provided took the Kiton image but are selling junk.

Do your items feel luxurious? Something from Kiton should feel impeccable, luxurious, and extremely soft.

The people who buy Kiton items off of eBay usually would be able to tell a fake. That sellers reputation would quickly go down the drain if he was selling fakes.

No comment on the OP's items but it is not true that Kiton is not faked. There is absolutely fake Kiton out there.

Found fake Kiton ...

This user here has been selling Kiton lately: http://www.ebay.ca/usr/aplk725 In most of the listings, there are stock photos of models wearing the clothes. So I searched them up on Google and it turns out the exact same styles are also being sold under another brand. I've never seen Kiton...

Kiton Tie..... Real or Fake? Found on Ebay

So I was browsing through Ebay for a Kiton Tie. Came across this tie, up for $20.00 right now with a bid. Took a closer look at the pictures.... this is what I saw..... I've never seen a Kiton Tie underneath the loop and THAT big. Looks like to me, someone took the label off a sweater and...

UPDATE: Kiton Cardigan - BEWARE!

I've been around the block quite a few times when it comes to most Italian Designer Menswear, but Kiton is a bit new to me. I understand very well their careful suiting (though some appear to display a substantial amount of machine work) and fine fabrics, but not so much their other outerwear...
