FIRST, PLEASE DO A SEARCH BY SELLER NAME OR ITEM NUMBER TO SEE IF YOUR QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
This is not a thread to ask general questions about CL, please refer to our main CL forum for information about sizing, seasons, etc.


IF THE AUCTION/SHOES HAVE NOT YET BEEN AUTHENTICATED, POST HERE.

This is a free service, so it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format. PLEASE LEAVE A SPACE AFTER THE COLONS.

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REQUESTS TO THREE (3) PER POST.



FOR AUCTION SITES:

Item: xxxx
Listing number: xxxx

NOT ON AN AUCTION SITE, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):

Please give us as much information as you can and then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos).

This format to prevent duplication requests and to make it simpler for people to 'search' for items which may have been posted previously. If you feel that your post has been skipped, you may repost but please copy and paste the ORIGINAL LINK, do not just copy and paste the link from your post.

Please post ALL of the following photos to insure ACCURATE authentication:

ON A HARD SURFACE, NOT A BED OR CARPETING ;*We need to see the ENTIRE shoe, not a cropped portion.


PROFILE: this is a shot of the entire side of the shoe, and should be taken straight on, NOT from above or below
BACK
FRONT
LABEL/LOGO inside the shoe
SOLE 1: a clear close-up shot of the logo/size stamp, preferably no flash
(a macro lens is best for this shot &; it's the flower icon on your camera)
SOLE 2: a shot of the entire sole
BOOTS: Please do your best to get a clear shot of the label inside the boot. This can be tricky, but it can be done.

SNEAKERS: For sneakers good quality close-ups of the following details are required:

SIZE STAMP
CL LOGO ON THE INSOLE
& MADE IN& STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE
CL STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE


AUTHENTICATORS: Please utilize the "QUOTE" feature when responding directly to another post. Please do not publicly post details about why you think an item is or is not authentic, sellers of fakes have been known to lurk here and we would not want to help them.

Wrinkles don't indicate authenticity (I have a couple of pairs with wrinkles) , I'd like to see a pic of the bottom insole with the CL imprint and a profile pic on a flat surface, straight on - not at an angle.
 
Hi everyone! I am brand new to TPF but I came here because you are all so well known and wonderful with authentication.

Item Name (if you know it): 20th Anniversary/Capsule Collection Isolde (Black/Hematite)
Link (if available): N/A
Seller: N/A
Comments: I am almost positive these are authentic--the previous listing is not available right now but the seller has many designer items that are authentic and has well-established feedback. The sticker looks like it says Neiman Marcus on it as well, but just checking.

Thanks in advance!! :smile1:

ok thanks, yeah I looked at some other CL's and saw they weren't wrinkle free either, so I guess that is not a sign of a unauthentic shoes.

Here are some more pics:

Need to see a profile pic with shoe standing up on a flat surface and a pic of entire soles.
 
Hi Ladies,

I was wondering if you could please help authenticate these size 40 Pigalle 120s I recently purchased on Ebay. I had purchased these after I ordered a pair of 41s from Net-a-Porter upon reading on TPF about sizing of Pigalles so I have therefore appended several photos of both pairs next to each other. I appreciate that the shoes are handmade therefore there may be slight differences and I may be unfairly comparing but I didn't think there were such large discrepancies between same style shoes if the 40s are indeed real. I have looked at hundreds of pics trying to authenticate them myself but thought to just finally ask the experts!

Item name: Pigalle 120mm
Link: N/A
Seller: N/A
Comments:
I am leaning towards them being fake (really good fakes!) for the following reasons but please obviously correct me if you think I am talking nonsense:

- The heel is at an inward angle towards the front of the shoe.

- The red sole when viewed from above is larger (horizontally) than the original size 41 I purchased from NAP.

- The CL logo embossed on the bottom is smaller.
- The dust bag has larger thicker looking font and the stitching is poor, see pics. Original from NAP is on the left.

- Smell is a tad plastic'y but then I may just be imagining things.
