Hello, i just found in my mother's closet a vintage leather skirt, she received it some years ago from some relatives who lived in Germany, but she totally forgot about it.At a closer look, I noticed the Yves Saint Laurent label and i really want to know if it's original.So, can you help me authenticate it? Thank you very much!

I just bought a jacket at a trunk sale! It still has tags from a luxury consignment shop. It's called "The Label Exchange" and it's located in CT. Read their consignment guidelines... they've got a decent authenticator. They don't accept knockoffs and anything bought from the shop which is later found to be a knockoff, the customer gets a full refund and it is expelled from the shop. The tag says it's an Armani that was bought in November 2012, and whoever bought it payed $168.

It has some buttons missing because they fell off, otherwise stitching is perfect. I'm a tiny bit skeptical because the tag really isn't recognizeable. It's a black, sewn-on completely leather tag which has embedded black print that says "GIORGIO". The only other tag is fabric and it says "GENUINE LEATHER Made in Argentine". The zippers don't say Armani or the like, they are YKK zippers.

The jacket is definitely real leather. The buttons are also real leather. The interior is black white grey striped fabric with black fabric. I have no idea if it's real! It's circa 2012 and has been authenticated, but I'm not sure.

HELP!
 
Hello, everyone! I hope I won't disturb you all but I really wish to buy this Herve Leger dress and I hope it to be authentic! If possible, can you please tell me if it is an original or not!

Thank you!

Please, help me confirm that this dress is, indeed, a fake. I am pretty sure it is but its superb quality and fit are what perplexed me about it. Inner tag and inner stitching do not add up. Thank you for your suggestions!

It's hard to tell, as earlier (2008) Herves didn't necessarily have serial numbers. The different size bandings are a good sign. Can you post interior tags, zipper, etc? Are there hanging straps? A "made in" label?

HL used four lines on the tags until 2011 iirc
