*CLOSED* Authenticate This VALENTINO

[redsoles]

Looks fine. Blue plastic is just for protection, it peels off.

Thank you much appreciated!

Hello! Can you please take a look at this Valentino wallet? I don't know the name of this style, unfortunately. so I can't compare it to the pictures from the Valentino website or any other legitimate source, but so far as I can tell everything is alright, apart from the stitching on the flap under the bow. Seems a bit... unfinished?
Can you please tell me if it's authentic? Thanks in advance!

It’s definitely an older discontinued style. Looks fine though.

Thank you! So you don't know the name of this style or the year it was made in? I tried looking up the serial number, but got nothing.

Sorry, no I would say it’s vintage.

It's difficult to definitively authenticate a scarf, but the pics you uploaded don't raise any red flags to me.

I see. Thanks for the reply.

May I know why is it difficult to authenticate a scarf?

It doesn't have the same number of identifying characteristics as shoes or a bag. Some people do specialize in scarves. I am not one of them.

Dear Valentino experts,
I just bought this pre-owned Valentino Rockstud tote. The leather feels and smells great. There is the Valentino stamp on the external leather, and the Valentino red fabric label inside the bag looks good, but there isn’t a leather serial tag in the bag - I don’t know if there should or shouldn’t be one. I have been guaranteed authenticity or my money back, so I would like to confirm its authenticity here. Looking forward to your expert opinion!

Where did you buy it--do you have a link to the original listing? Also double check all the way inside the interior zip pocket for a nylon or leather tab with a code on it.

Here is the link to the original listing:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/133098380510

The seller has great feedback and sells many designer bags.

I checked the pocket as you advised and found a nylon tag! Here is a photo

What do you think?

Hello! I bought these Valentino Rockstud Heels on RealReal. After they arrived, I’m not sure if they are real. There is a serial number, though one is stamped at an angle and incomplete. The box has black writing and feels slightly different than the other Valentino boxes I own that have red lettering. I also have a picture of it lined up between two of my Valentino purchases from Nordstrom. The Nordstrom purchase stamps are facing the heel, while the RealReal purchase has the stamp facing the footbed, if that makes sense. Finally. I lined the Nordstrom purchase up with the RealReal purchase and the heels are slightly off/different and the footbed is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch shorter. Thoughts?

The box and the stamp can be correct both ways, and the shoes are not raising other red flags for me. These are handmade shoes and the slight sizing discrepancy is not really raising alarms for me either.
