I spoke to the seller about the split at the back and she tried to tell me the photos were old and they are not in perfect condition. So I asked her to take pics for me of what they currently look like, and only then did she say "oh I just noticed the split at the back" so I said I wouldn't take them. She relisted them and didn't disclose the split at the back in the actual listing body which seems dishonest to me, given she has admitted there is a fault.

Thanks for your feedback :)

Hmmm - yes, it really doesn't pay to conceal flaws! I don't understand why some ebay sellers do this. I mean, why would you want a buyer to be disappointed? And with a problem like this, you're more than likely to either get a return, a dispute, negative feedback or a combination of these things! But just the fact that the shoes have split makes it highly likely that they're synthetic and not leather. I'm really glad you didn't go through with the sale - wise move! :yes:

Hi catty2004,

I'm sorry, but these don't look authentic to me for the same reason given in post #728. The lettering of "FERRAGAMO" on the innersole lining should be in block letters rather than the outline of each letter. Every pair of shoes I've come across with this outline lettering has turned out to be fake. Also, looking at the innersoles themselves (it's hard to tell from the photos whether they're genuine leather?), but there appears to be no extra layer between the innersole and the sole. This style of Ferragamos (Varina) don't have a particularly cushioned innersole but they do have an extra layer which makes them comfortable to wear. Also, the build quality of the genuine article, and the fit, ensures their comfort. Varina is the style of Ferragamo that is the most often faked and the fakes are hard to identify from photos. But all in all, I'd have to say I'm 95% sure they're not authentic.

Thank you so much! I'm contacting the seller asking for full refund! I went to the actual store to compare, the sales associate also told me what i had was a FAKE!!!

Sorry for the delay in responding - I'm time-poor at the moment. Both these pairs look authentic to me based on the photographs. They're definitely vintage and no red flags.

I'm sorry phuongthao but I really can't help with bags - shoes are my speciality. This thread is unfortunately not frequented often by authenticators. :sad: I'm actually not an official authenticator myself, I just help out with the shoe side of things because I do have some experience there.

Please see my response #762. But even if I did have the expertise to authenticate bags, I wouldn't be able to help with this one. The photos aren't nearly clear enough and an authenticator would need close-ups of all hardware, logos, the lining, the tag with serial number, the base of the bag etc. You should read the first post by jburgh where the format and requirements are detailed. There's a PF member - pazza4sacamain who might be able to help with authentication (provided there's all the required photos) but she hasn't been on here for a month or so.
