I purchased this skirt on ebay last year or earlier this year, can't remember and the person selling it stated it was authentic and that they were a TPF member. I figured since no skirts of this type/ style could be found on any of the replica Herve Leger sites that it was most likely authentic. I never wound up wearing the skirt and then just resold it on eBay. The person I sold it to is claiming that it's a cheap fake and wants a full refund. I'm of course refunding the amount they paid etc. but really would like to know if someone else agrees that it's fake.

I'm new to the forum and posted this in 21st Sept no reply as yet. I hope I've done this right. If not my apologies. I would like to buy this dress. Could someone please authenticate for me? I've had a look at the KM store and it looks to be authentic but if someone could verify? Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm pretty much forced to issue a refund due to eBay policies etc. I just got the skirt back today. I can attempt to sell it again I suppose. Know anyone who wants one? hehe.
The buyer claims that they have 4 other Herve Leger items and that this one looks cheaply made in comparison. I have other Herve Leger items myself and they're all sort of different so it's really hard for me to say. One thing that bothered the buyer is that there is a small area around the waist band where the stitching has come undone. I hadn't noticed this before posting it. I have other Herve Leger items that I am positive are authentic and I've had issues with the stitching on those in stress areas so I don't necessarily consider this an absolute method of confirming that the skirt is fake.
The buyer also believes that the hook and eye closure looks cheap compared to her other Herve Leger items. I don't see any problem with it myself.
Now that I have the skirt back I can take more pics of it. Is there something else I could show you that would help you determine whether or not it is indeed a replica or authentic?
Thanks so much again for providing such an awesome service!!!
Oh also, I was thinking of taking it in to the Herve Leger boutique in San Francisco (close to me) to see what they thought. What do you think about this?
yea. take it to the san fran store just to have it verified. But, I really think this is authentic.
Good for you that you got it back though!
Seriously, though, if you have other authentic Herve Leger, just compare the Herve Leger tag. The fakes are not quite as glossy and smooth. The fake tags are also slightly smaller. easiest way of comparing if you have an authentic on hand.
Thanks so much bebefuzz! I really appreciate your help! I'm going to be selling some other Herve Leger items so I'll take a look at those and compare the tags with my known authentic ones. I'll probably post them here as well before listing just to see what you think. I was fairly certain that all the ones I had were authentic but thanks so much for the great tip on the tags!
Ugg this was such a horrible eBay experience that I really don't want to have happen again!
