I was about to ask that you post on the Valentino shoe authentication thread but I see that you already did. All footwear authentication questions are to be posted here except for Valentino and Louboutin since they have their own threads and yes, this thread is still active!

thank you shuze
I am really confused because the letter " MANOLO BLAHNIK" is horizontal line instead of longitudinal. But this maybe a old version.
Many thanks for your support!

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the sole stamping? The newer stamping is horizontal and some factories are still gluing the interior lining and some are stitching it. These are made in multiple factories. I believe there are 5.

I have 6 pair of hangisi flats. Three have horizontal logos and three are longitudinal, all were purchased at the Manolo Blahnik flagship in Manhattan. The three newest pair are horizontal. And the same color hangisi's in heels that I purchased at the same time are vertical.

Authentication can be an issue when a brand uses multiple factories as each factory has its "own hand" and there will be variances from factory to factory. Even on the websites of the luxury majors, some Hangisi are stitched on the lining and some are glued. I've always said that production specs do not change in the middle of production and all product will be made the same way, but that doesn't hold true for companies that use multiple factories.

It's used almost daily.

What I mean is exactly what I asked, clearly. My app doesnt update correctly so when I view this threat it told me it hasnt been used since 2015. However, thanks for the sarcastic reply and insinuating I'm unintelligent.

The shoes have been authenticated so thanks for the help! Much appreciated [emoji4]

There was absolutely no sarcasm and no insinuation at all! I was totally serious because the thread has been quite active and didn't understand what you were talking about.

Completely agree. I didn't understand that post either but guessed there was something wrong with the way Sparksw10 was loading/accessing this thread but knew that BeenBurned was just trying to point out that the thread was alive and active. Anyway, welcome Sparksw10!
