Authenticate Those SHOES

I had Etinceler looked at it and they confirmed it’s authentic. Now I’m at a dilemma! Not sure who is accurate :sad:
I would absolutely go with Etinceler. Many apologies but I’m really disappointed with the construction on them but I guess that can happen in any factory. Etinceler is going by fonts which don’t vary in the same way that construction can.
 
Ok thank you. Yeah, I think some of that is from the unpeeled plastic that looks off.
I honestly looked at these shoes initially and thought they were counterfeit. The workmanship is terrible. I've seen photos of fake Chanel shoes and they have gotten the details down to the letter including the fonts but I have never seen authentic Chanel shoes coming apart the way these are.

Chanel workmanship is no longer as good? Yeah I was quite shock myself and these are supposedly from the 2018 collection. Maybe the older ones are better? Or this particularly is just bad? *shrugs*

The bottom line in my opinion is that you have two tPF authenticators telling you that the shoes are not made correctly but we are not professional authenticators.

The professional authenticator that you used is Chanel only and highly respected, but they are known primarily as handbag authenticators. With respect, I have no more to add other than IMO authentic contemporary Chanel continues to be beautifully constructed.

It's always important for us to have an original auction listing to help with an authentication. There are other threads on this site that won't authenticate an item for you unless provided with a link to a listing. Can you provide us with this information?

Hi!
I’m a long-time lurker- but I’m hoping someone can help- bought these from a seller with good feedback and they were sent with receipts etc but I trust everyone here’s opinions so thought I’d double check :)

Item: Balenciaga Triple S
