Authenticate Those SHOES

[audreylita]

Hi! 15 years later - hoping you are still on this forum. I bought the ones you purchased at Saks secondhand and now I’m wondering if you can confirm that they have the serial number in one shoe only? I purchased the dark brown and black ballet flats and they have the exact same serial number you mentioned, but in both shoes. Now I’m worried they are fake after reading your message. Do you still have them and can you check, thank you very much.

The eBay link has expired.

Hello! Hoping for some help authenticating this pair of Chanel ballet flats (aged calfskin). The price seems too good to be true..

Attaching all photos below, including the serial code. Thanks so much for the help!

I’ll pass this one along to Shuze. The dupe quality has gotten so good with the Chanels that I cannot tell the difference with photos. I subscribe to and watch closely the sites that sell the dupes so know how accurate they’ve gotten with counterfeiting. A qualified cobbler who deals with repairing high end shoes and can touch and feel it may be your best bet. And of course if the price really is too good to be true, then that may be your answer. These shoes appear to be new and it’s a highly coveted style and is often out of stock in the boutiques so there would likely be no discounts.

Help, please 🙏🏻! To buy, or not to buy … i.e., authentic or not? This resale market and all these websites are making me bonkers! So hard to know which are reliable! Many thanks in advance for your thoughts/opinions!

Hopefully these links work:
1. Chanel interlocking CC logo patent leather sling back

2. Saint Laurent opyum pump

The Realreal is a legit resale site.

Thank you! I know the pics tend to not be the best on TRR for authentication purposes, but any comments on the two listings?

I’m hoping to get advice on these Manolo hangisi flats, I’ve heard @audreylita is the best at picking fakes. Purchased on Depop. This is my first time using a forum hope I’m doing it right.

Detailed photos of the interior seams would be helpful, but given these photos they appear to be authentic.

Pics are not the best for authentication but I would personally buy both as authentic.

Thank you for this! Will wait for @shuze to weigh in too.
