Glad to help when I can and apologies when I can’t. Passing on making a call but personallly I see more than one red flag. I hope other authenticators will check in. The above, my opinion only.

I do not know who mytheresa purchases from, if it's direct from the manufacturers then this would be a no brainer. But I am unfamiliar with their buying practices. That said, this site has a good reputation but does have some troubling issues you can easily bring up with a google search. I personally would buy from them with no trouble but their customer service with returns seems to be less than wonderful. Owning several pairs of the Princetowns myself, both with and without fur, I find some glaring differences between the shoes you purchased and mine. Having no R on the sole is not one of them, some of mine have it and some don't. But there are a few other things that are glaringly different than mine. Unless Gucci had some severe manufacturing problems and these were sold as defective, I would say that these shoes are not authentic.Item Name: Gucci Princetown fur lined slippers
Link: https://www.mytheresa.com/euro_en/princetown-fur-lined-leather-slippers-594119.html
Seller: mytheresa
Comments: Dear Authenticators. Can you please help me authenticate these shoes? Bought them on mytheresa, but I am worried that someone has made a "switcharoo". They do not have the R under the sole, and I am also a bit puzzled about the horsebit detail. Should it be like that?
Thanks.View attachment 4063457View attachment 4063458View attachment 4063459View attachment 4063460View attachment 4063461View attachment 4063462

I believe they're a counterfeit selling website based in China:https://www.manoloblahnikonlineoutlet.com/
Was checking for Manolo Hangisi online, came across this website, claims to be a dealer working directly with Manolo Blahnik , sourcing directly from factory for the low prices. Any body any idea about this site? Is this genuine.
ahh ok... thank you!!I believe they're a counterfeit selling website based in China:

Manolo has a semi annual sale on his shoes from a previous season. Pictures are obviously stolen from Manolo's website. The shoe you see is not what you would get.https://www.manoloblahnikonlineoutlet.com/

I sent a message to MB through their facebook page and I suspect that fake-selling site will disappear in the near future!Manolo has a semi annual sale on his shoes from a previous season. Pictures are obviously stolen from Manolo's website. The shoe you see is not what you would get.

Just got these and upon further inspection I am having doubts they are real. Thanks in advance.
Authentic IMO. Heel height appears to be 70 cm. No box or dustbag simply means the original owner did not provide them for the sale. As far as glue I assume you're referencing what's along the inside stitching, that's very common with his shoes, long ago the boutique showed how if you just take a nail file and gently file the area where there is glue or anything that you find snags your stocking, that will flatten out the area so that it's not an irritant. And that appears to be what the previous owner has done. In the future a clear profile shot of the of the jeweled buckle showing how it is affixed to the shoe is key for authentication of a hangisi.Hello shoes expert!
Please help me on authenticating the shoes that I got from Vestiaire Collection!
It’s a Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 8cm in Black color.
Doesn’t come with box nor dustbag which is also weird.
I have a feeling that this might be inauthentic due to a lot of “glue” residue on the shoes and also the stitching is not that neat. But I had a thought that it might be due to handmade?
Thanks in advance!
