Hi, I've been away for a long time due to health, and so good to be reading on the forum again! Sorry for my first post back to be asking for authentication, but if you guys could help I would be so grateful, thank you all so much for your time! :hugs:

Could you tell me if these Chanel flats I am thinking of bidding on are authentic?

Hi again, I just asked the seller for a pic of the serial number inside (the auction ends tomorrow morning) and he/she said there is no serial number inside, but that doesn't necessarily worry me because I saw another member who bought the same style/color of black patents and they didn't have a model number either and another member said that some older ones don't have it - her post is in this thread post number #7683

I just wanted to give as much information as possible. I am looking at another pair or two from a seller that I'm not as concerned about authenticity as well but for my first pair black would be best, plus I really need a pair of black flats,haha!

Can anyone here help me to authentic this pair of espadrilles? This is posted from my community forum. The problem bothering me is the tag on the box saying color "beigenoir" while the shoes are denim black......Thanks!!!

Hello,

Just bought a pair of YSL Tribute Mary Janes in my local vintage charity shop and am wondering if they are authentic or not. The soles are a beige, almost pink colour. What threw me is that there is no serial number type stamping in the inside of the shoes with the size and other numbers, that I saw in some authentic YSL shoes.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Can you get a detailed shot of where the side lining meets the heel lining. You got the heel with the seam but I need to see the quarter which is not shown, where the two linings meet.

Black patent is really tough to photograph but the other picture is a closeup of the way the platform is wrapped. Again, you can also just take them to a shoemaker.

Hi everybody, I found these YSL Tribute Sandals listed for a really good price, just want a second opinion on their authenticity before buying. I know the condition is pretty bad and they don't come with the dust bag or box since they've had them for ages and been worn a few times which is why they're listed for so low, but I don't really mind as I really love this style and colour. I think they look fairly legit but would love someone with more experience to help me confirm/deny.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can possibly help me!

Here's the links to the images:

Edit: also, does anyone know if Saint Laurent supplies replacement heel tips or could I get these fixed at a cobbler and they'd look the same? These are pretty beat up :noggin:

i don't see any red flags although close up pictures would really help. They are pretty chewed though-women really need to stop driving in their heels. No clue if the company replaces heel tips but after a lifetime in designer shoes I have always just used my cobbler's tips unless extra tips were in the box and never thought twice about it.

See if you can get close ups of the sole stamping and the finishing on the underside of the straps but what I see looks OK.

Just looked again and I really think they're fine if you can't get more pictures.

Alright, thank you so much! 😊
Wow, is that from driving?? Ouch. I've never driven in heel before (I'm not even that great at walking in them, I don't even want to think about driving...), now I know to keep it that way for good 😂😂
