I may be asking in the wrong forum, but I wasn't sure where to go besides the Jewelry Box (I already asked in the MJ forum). Does anyone have any experience authenticating sunglasses? Specifically Marc Jacobs sunglasses. I'm not even sure if they are rampantly faked.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
TIA:heart:

Just bought this Juicy tracksuit off ebay. I felt kind of suspicious when the seller easily accepted my best offer which was $22 lower than his buy-it-now price. Here are some pics...any feedback will be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

Sorry.. That looks fake to me. If you look at pics 1, 2 and 5 tags clearly say "Love P & G" when it should say "Love G & P". Also the inside tags should be light pink and have brown Juicy logo.. these tags should be completely pink and brown.. no other colours (yours have white, blue, red and gold as well)

I'm hoping that you girls can help me out! I have an event to go to in June, so I wanted a cute, fun dress that is dressy but still youthful. I found this adorable dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs, which is on sale for $335 at Neiman's. I also found it for around $150 at 2 different sites. I'm not familiar with replica clothes, I didn't even know they existed until that whole Courtney Love fiasco with the knockoff Chanel dress that she wore last year. Can you guys authenticate this dress for me? I've attached a photo of Paris wearing it, 2 photos from Neiman's, and a photo from one of the sites. The ebay listing doesn't have any pictures of the actual dress, and the seller says her supplier ships from (gasp!) Hong Kong. I'm worried... Should I just pay the $335 at Neiman's and call it a day?

I would suggest just buying it at Neiman Marcus. That site doesn't look good to me and anyone that ships from Hong Kong is not reputable, too many fakes are made there.

Not going into too many details, your observations are only partially correct. You are describing tags from tracksuits from 2007 or newer.

Before 2007, Juicy Couture tags were color coded with sizes. XL was light blue; Petitte was pink and so on. The tags were rectangular shaped and sewn into the garment using the same color of thread as the garment, not the color of the tag. (Tags on black suits were sewn in using black thread, white with white, pink with pink and so on.).

As for the P&G or G&P issue, in 2006 Juicy Couture had to change the wording of it’s logo due to issues with Proctor & Gamble. Evidently some people were having issues identifying the difference between Juicy and Proctor & Gamble. (Seriously. It is a tough one.) So, if you see Love P&G, it does not automatically mean that it is fake. (I own quite a bit of Love P&G merchandise that was purchased before the change.) If it is determinded to be authentic, it just means that it was made before 2006.

I know this is not a discussion forum, I just don't want anyone to have the wrong information.
