Item Name: Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Flats
Comments: I think these are fake. I unfortunately already purchased them, but can return them with the claim they are not authentic.

1. The dust bag is not the nice cloth that I have gotten with designer shoes, it seems to be cheap material. I also only got one.
2. The bottoms look correct for a Hangisi heel, but not a flat. Every flat I am seeing online, the Manolo Blahnik stamp is horizontal and the font is different. Is this just an older show possibly?
3. The box has Asian characters on it and most importantly I noticed that the website www.kurtgeige.com should really be www.kurtgeiger.com. I also can't find the SKU anywhere when I search.

Overall, the show smells and feels like leather and the buckle really sparkles. What's convincing me it's a fake is the stamping, the box and bag. Thanks for any input or help you have!

Item Name: Christian Louboutin black satin dress sandals
Comments: The box is very sturdy. What I am questioning is you will notice one shoe is heavily embossed on the sole and the other is not. The markings are identical, but one is just not have embossed.

Item: Christian Louboutin Rolando Burgundy Pumps
Comments: I thought the shoes were real, but they came in an obviously fake box so I'm not sure what to think now. I didn't post the box as it was obvious.

Item Name: Christian Louboutin Black Leather Pointed Toe Ankle Booties Heels Shoes
Comments: I am questioning these shoes because of the embossing on the sole. It seems very faint. The shoes do feel like good quality leather.

Audreylita is the MB expert but these are such awful fakes that I dont want you to wait for her to claim and return them. They couldn’t even spell Hangisi correctly! Definitely counterfeit.

Louboutin has their own thread. Please post everything there. Know that footwear is not made in pairs so stamping can vary from R to L...

Louboutin has their own thread so please post everything there but know that footwear is not made in pairs (with very rare exception of speciality shoes) so R and L can vary in stamping and detail.

Shoes are not authentic IMO. The box says Gold Fabric and the shoes are clearly blue silk. Prices on items on this website seem to be bargain basement which immediately should have been a red flag.

Item: Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Black Velvet Boots Size 39
Listing number: eBay item number:264217235680
Seller: landia_baobao
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Auth-Manolo-Blahnik-Hangisi-Black-Velvet-Boots-Size-39-Sold-Out-Everywhere/264217235680?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649
Comments: I was thinking about making an offer on these. Obviously it would be a very expensive mistake if these turned out to be fake. I did see this style on Neiman Marcus Last Call.
Wait to see if Audreylita will authenticate off those pictures. I cannot as I go by construction only and Audreylita knows Blahnik‘s fonts and embellishments but I don’t see any red flags. I cant authenticate without detailed interior photos but can‘t speak for her.

Hello all, I’m looking for a pair of semi comfy classic pumps and I don’t know anything about Gianvito Rossi. I saw these Gianvito pumps 85 and I’m questioning why the interior is black. Comes with dust bag extra set of heels tips.
It’s a recommended seller. Thank you!!
