hi mr. spoo,

thank you very much for confirming.

in which picture you saw that made this pants fake.

is it the buttons? the stitches? the logos? etc...

i usually go to thrift shops and collecting high end brands,

i would appreciate helping me understand how to easily spot and tell the differences to avoid getting these fakes again.

thank you,
angelo
I do it this way,
look at stiching & labels.
Are there big logos? Are you associate the item with bimbos , Getto people & "turks"etc. its to 99% fake.
the other jeans (Versace & LV) also a poor fake which only Turkish & gypsy in my neighborhood would wear .

Hi,

I have old Versace jewelry box from 90's.
Pictures are attached.
What is your opinion?
What is the best way to check the authenticity? Is there any good web service with favorable prices?

Many thanks

Hello Versace connoisseurs,

I've bought a coat tagged Versus Versace, supposedly from an early 90s collection, secondhand.
Whether it was real or fake, I just couldn't leave it because I'm crazy about colour and I've never seen anything as colourful as this.

I've since searched the internet and found an identical coat on e-bay which was soon not there and a short jacket in a similar fabric and colour scheme on the high end secondhand fashion site "Vestiare Collective": https://www.vestiairecollective.com.../multicolour-wool-versus-jacket-4147749.shtml (you might need to register to view the page).

Due to the tag on the inside with the spare button being blank and the fabric not being hemmed where the lining, which has come apart in a few places, would conceal the edge (this leads to fraying), I'm in doubt about it's authenticity. I have no experience with high end fashion up close, so I'd be grateful for your opinion.

Pictures of details up close and a couple of the entire coat to give an idea of how well the patterns match up (sorry if it's a bit of a spam, this is my first post and I'm unsure of how large the photos will show up):
