Hi ladies,

Have been sent over here from the Miu Miu Authenticate This thread ... what do you think of these? Some of the details don't stack up for me, including the cross strap across the foot (others I've seen only have one strap) and the box is lighter with different font from my other Miu Mius.

Impulse purchase from eBay unfortunately.

Pictures are here: http://s231.photobucket.com/albums/ee192/libertines05/

This one's hard to say. Do you have any closeup pics? I've only seen the one-strap as well. The box may have been from another pair.

Can someone tell me if these are authentic? I wasn't planning on buying these or anything. I am pretty sure the bags this seller is selling are all fake so, I wanted to post these here because, if they are fake they need taken down. Also, if anyone knows anything about Thomas Wylde bags, can you have a look at the other listings from this seller?

Hi!

Can someone take a look at these Ugg's and tell me what they think? Everything was fine and then I noticed that each boot has a different tag in it. ??? Would they have been made at different times/places or maybe I have 1 fake and 1 real one? Hmmmm.

They are both the same size, both have the same soles and the same wear to them, wich is very little. but 1 said it is made in China, and the other says it was made in Australia.

thanks in advance!

I desparately need some help, from Miu Miu experts. I bought this pair online, thinking they were authentic, as I can't recall seeing these faked. Anyway, the box looks nothing like my other Miu Miu boxes (color and subtle seaming) and the inside is also different. Does anyone have THESE EXACT flats who can chime in? Or, just give me your opinion. I have taken pictures that show the difference.

Box I received on the left of the screen - my box on the right

Every Miu Miu box I have has a pretty floral design inside with a slight green iridescence. The one I received does not. Shown on the top (mine is on the bottom).

Lastly, here is the ebay link:

The seller mentioned this:
...."I'll address your question about the box. This particular pair was overstock from a previous season. The stores that deal with selling overstock to 3rd parties don't always have intact retail boxes. Thus, the boxes I receive are usually busted up, or not in mint condition. Oftentimes they will be in mismatched boxes and such. I assure you that the contents of the box are in no way damaged as I have personally checked each pair before sending them out. These shoes are 100% authentic and if you have another pair from the same series, I urge you to compare the two in terms of quality for reassurance."

Then I wrote a long response with pictures (saying I did NOT care about the damage to the box, only the obvious discrepancies between my Miu Mius and hers), and finally she tells me this:

"Hi.

I know the box is damaged, and it has discoloration (faded)problem like I told you earlier before sending these out to you.

This box is really old. It did come with a sticker, but it indicates the wrong style, number, also the small picture is different. Anyways, I took the sticker off.

These flats are definitely not fakes.
If the box makes you doubt about the authenticity, even though the shoes are perfect, please return these with a valid tracking number (Priority Mail) by tomorrow. "

Please let me know what you think!!! I'm going nuts!! :(

Aside from the obviously fake box, the stamp on the sole just do not look right to me. It almost looks like its stamped on fake leather. Im no expert so I'd wait for a second opinion, but IMO they look fake.

Somehow you managed to get one FAKE (the left one) and one REAL (the right one). Ugg's are now manufactured in China and have been for the last 3 years. The one that says 'Made In Australia' is a fake. Here is a link to help you determine for yourself...

Now I am LMAO at this! Luckily, I paid just $8 for them at a second hand shop. I just have to wonder how these two ended up paired up! LOL
