Hi ladies,

I’m not sure if this is the right forum for this post (please tell me if it is not).

I had a Saint Laurent bag authenticated on here and the result was: fake. Unfortunately I already own this bag and paid $2125 for it but the store I purchased from (Reebonz) said they will open an investigation if I can supply a letter from Saint Laurent about its authenticity.

I contacted Saint Laurent but they refuse to help me out or even look at the bag. Has anyone been through this kind of situation or have any advice?
please do a search of authenticating agencies - here on Purse Forum there are many threads about it, ad some good agencies have been identified - you have to pay though, but to get $2125 back it is worth it.....MyPoupette being one of them and some others, do a search and few names will come up...they are acknowledged by most

Hi,

I want to have my Yves Saint Laurent Tribute pumps authenticated. I always loved YSL’s shoes but never had the budget to splurge. I recently took the plunge and bought a pair of “very good” tribute pumps from the The Real Real. I would think this site is reputable, however I’ve been reading that TRR sells fakes and today when I got my shoes, I noticed a very strong smell coming from the leather of the shoes. The smell is similar to products being packed in a storage room for too long. Are YSL tribute pumps supposed to have this smell??The leather also doesn’t feel much like leather ( the shoe doesn’t feel as heavy as it looks) and both heel top lift has a small slit where it’s attached to the rest of the heel.

I don’t see any stitching defects except the underside of the heel near the curve where it appears uneven (like a smudge).The “Made In Italy” stamp has the letters edge to edge. And when I try to walk in them, only the front is stable and the back heel tops are a little wobbly. I have to walk really carefully.

I am attaching photos below:

Hi ladies,

I’m not sure if this is the right forum for this post (please tell me if it is not).

I had a Saint Laurent bag authenticated on here and the result was: fake. Unfortunately I already own this bag and paid $2125 for it but the store I purchased from (Reebonz) said they will open an investigation if I can supply a letter from Saint Laurent about its authenticity.

I contacted Saint Laurent but they refuse to help me out or even look at the bag. Has anyone been through this kind of situation or have any advice?

Have you tried addressing your problem by approaching a Saint Laurent boutique personally with your bag?

They wouldn’t tell you directly if the item is authentic or not, but you can always find some fault with your bag and tell the staff that you want to send it in for repair. They usually wouldn’t take in items not purchased from a Saint Laurent boutique so it’s up to your own creativity to cook up some stories about why they couldn’t find your record.

Don’t tell them you bought it from Reebonz, they will show you the door unless you are a VIP or well-known fashion figure.

It they accept your item it’s authentic, but if they reject your request, it’s a fake.

What I advice you to do is that you try to have someone videoing this entire process down secretly, especially the part where the sales person tells you that your bag is fake. This is equivalent to any written response from Saint Laurent.

By the way, no fashion label (other than Hermes I think) will ever give you a written response saying that your item is fake. Reebonz knows this and that’s why they ask you for a written response since they know you wouldn’t get one in the first place and the money is safely in their hands. I believe that a video of a Saint Laurent staff telling you that your bag is fake is sufficient for to make a police report and you should be able to get your refunds quicker than anything else.
 
Hi Authenticators,
sorry I missed the format the first time.
As it is a purse which is already in my possession, I’m not able to post a link to a listing.

Item: LARGE ENVELOPE CHAIN BAG IN BLACK TEXTURED MATELASSÉ LEATHER

I would highly appreciate if you could tell me whether or not this bag is an authentic YSL.

Many greetings from Germany.
