Just to follow up I confirmed this was a fake. Bad fonts, too many different fonts, cheap poorly sewn lining, no care label. Seller is accepting a return for full refund.

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?

The first site: http://stores.idressonline.com/-strse-79/MJ-Marc-Jacobs-Black/Detail.bok

The eBay Listing:

I wouldn't trust those sellers, especially as the eBay auction didn't post actual photos of the item, and the hem-line on the first dress from IDressOnline looks really bad and uneven.

While it is often very hard to tell fake dresses from real ones, Marc Jacobs clothing is faked so I'd be very careful :)

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.

Any thoughts on this Mike and Chris jacket- I didn't notice it until I looked around more but they all look to be stock pics or pics from other people's listings. I want a Mike and Chris jacket, but not an expensive fake!!!! I'm seriously thinking of emailing the seller and trying to get out of the deal. What do you think?? TIA!

I don't know anything about this particular jacket but if you are thinking that he pics are stolen try emailing and asking the seller for a pic of the back of the jacket before you pay. Say something like "I noticed that there aren;t any pics of the back of this jacket - could you please send me a full picture of the back just to make sure there aren't any spraypaint marks or grafitti on it LOL"
I can't find anyone else's listing for this one so not sure where he/she would have stolen them from?

Thanks! I'm going to do that, but I'm not overly optimistic. It appears that the pics are from ioffer and alot of sellers are using them. I guess they could be authentic pics from someplace else being used to sell authentic jackets, but the $200 price tag on these in bulk scares me:

Should I ask for pics of anything in particular based on these pics? Thanks again. I really didn't think they would make a fake of this jacket, but then I saw this thread and was like :wtf: at all the fake stuff out there. I really really appreciate your help!

These look good - I don't own one so I'm not an expert but they do look really good and the seller has excellent Feedback.
If you do buy one make sure you do a best offer instead of a buy it now. If you look at the seller's FB history he has often sold the skull scarves at best offers sometimes $50 below the BIN price =)

They sent me two pics of the Mike and Chris jacket. Do you think they look okay? I don't feel like the jacket looks super soft/distressed like it should...what are your thoughts? Thanks again!

I was walking around one of those malls with small stores in Hong Kong, when I saw this:
Photo501.jpg

I asked the sales lady why it's so cheap for a Prada dress, and she said it was because it was a factory sample or something like that.
I immediately bought it without checking if it's real or not.
Now, ladies, before I wear it, can someone please tell me if it's real or not? :crybaby:
