I’ve seen a lot more fakes latelySpeaking of outrageous prices, TRR just sold this fake for $1000. So much for their “expert authentication”.

It's like tRR has regressed. Pricing all over the place (mainly too much rather than too little), random classifications of condition, fakes aplenty, non-stop misidentification of styles (or else the generic "top handle bag" descriptor) and the hilariously resized model pics.
I have no idea whether this is human error or their AI tech needs a retool. (Every time I email about fakes I get the 'we use AI to supplement authentication' spiel.)
For us enthusiasts, we can spot the fakes, and know what style is what, but for the casual buyer, it's a crapshoot. Throw in the no returns policy (unless you pay them for the return guarantee) and it's just an utter mess.

AI needs to come a long way before it can be trusted for authentications. Right now it's accuracy rate is the same as flipping a coin.It's like tRR has regressed.

Behold, $745 for a paint-vat-dunked City. At least TRR disclosed the painting, though they have no clue how much that devalues the bag and priced it as though painting it is a good thing.
Right?! Isn't it just the cutest everrrrrrr?Muchy's new avi.

Is anyone here familiar with Chloe authentication. I posted in Chloe forum but it’s not very active
Kinda cool that it's sold through MyTheresa's VC platform.
I got the email from them about it, but not worth it to me for store credit.
I assumed (and hoped) that it would have to be items from your purchase history, even though it didn't say anything about that lol...
So I'm guessing these are waders for the gal who loves designer labels?
(Also, that's basically how all boots look with my skinny calves!)
You could also use the rain water that accumulates while stomping around to keep your flower bouquets fresh until you get home and can put them in a vase?
