We currently do not have an authenticator, please use a paid service.
This is the thread for requesting an opinion about the authenticity of Salvatore Ferragamo handbags, accessories, and footwear.
We have a new set up for Authenticating Salvatore Ferragamo items. Hopefully this will be helpful to keep the threads easy to navigate, easy to respond to, and be an overall better for all involved.
Before you post in the Salvatore Ferragamo "Authenticate This" thread PLEASE read the rules!!!! This will make it easier for EVERYONE and really make the chance of you getting your question answered much better.
The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.
Please follow the following rules:
Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated.
This is not a thread to ask general questions about Salvatore Ferragamo, please post in the general section for such information.
Finally, please do not submit requests for something that is obviously a fake, e.g. the item says it is a replica, or a $50 Marisa.
In order to asses the item, we need clear close-up pictures of:
All hardware
All logos
Views taken from both sides, top, and bottom
Soles of shoes
Inside of bags
If the seller does not have these pictures, please do not post a request. Instead, ask the seller to provide these and then post your request once the needed pictures are provided.
This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:
Item Name:
Listing number:
Seller name or ID:
Working Link:
Comments:
Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
Authenticators may also request additional pictures and/or information in order to assist with authentication. Please remember, it is always useful to have several close up pictures when submitting an item for authentication.
Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function (button) to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.
Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.
Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
I thought I would perhaps spell out more clearly the reasons why the standardized format is required:
1. Allows authenticators and requesters to see all information laid out in a clear and concise manner, upfront, without wading through links to find out information.
2. Allows requesters to easily see if the items have been previously requested, when doing a search. Searches will pick up item numbers, and this is what requesters should be searching for.
3. Allows both authenticators and requesters to mentally note important information, such as "That seller sells authentic" or "Seller XXXX is a problematic seller."
4. Reduces duplications of requests which clutters the thread and takes up unnecessary time and space.
5. Respects the personal time and effort authenticators take to answer requests.
Giving an Authenticity Opinion:
We have high standards for giving opinions in the forum. Many hours of research go into development of that knowledge. If you do not have the experience and knowledge of the brand, please refrain from giving an opinion. If someone says an item is fake, when it is not, a sellers reputation can be ruined. If a fake bag is deemed authentic, this can result in someone spending perhaps, thousands of dollars. As always, authenticity opinions are just that and not legally binding. However, giving a well informed, and responsible opinion is of the upmost importance. Irresponsible posts will be removed by a moderator.
I hopes this helps.
PM me if you need further clarification.
