How about this Marc Jacobs top? Thanks!

 

[Maddie1902]

On second thoughts, compared to this picture, I don't think it is...

I would be wary of Marc Jacobs clothes and Chloe oens because they fake them a lot.

^...I am fairly certain it is a fake. The top from the runway was Marc Jacobs, however that black tag is a Marc by Marc tag. Marc Jacobs collection items have white tags. Also the fabrics used are not as rich, especially the velvet bow, and the bottom layer of the sheer fabric.

I am pretty sure they are not from the 70's. RR brand of Lauren is especially made to look like beat up, vintagy clothes - all of it.

I'm not a fan of armani jeans so I'm really of no help, but I do know that when my mother went to China on a business trip they sold fake armani jeans on every corner

Somebody Help Me With The Manolo's!!!

hii!!!

I bought a pair of jimmy choo's from a store in venezuela (internet)...whatever...today arrived my shoes, and when I opened the cage they weren't jimmy choo!!! they're supossed to be manolo blahnik (a model very similar to the jimmy choo's elan), but I don't get convinced at all...because of the 'sweeings', the sole, and the 'plastified' tag... I think they aren't authentic... and I haven't seen a model similar to the elan...
Could anyone help me, please?, because that 'mr.' sold me an authentic pair of jimmy choo... or if it is manolo blahnik I want to be authentic because I didn't pay 50 bucks for that shoes...understand me?...whatever... I called that mr. , today, and he told me that he will send me the receipt, bla bla bla...
Please anyone! I can send to your mail the detailed pictures of the shoes, and tell me if they're authentic...if it's not, I want to contact the manolo blahnik store and I will give all the information about that 'seller' because he's selling a lot of 'supossed' designer shoes, and that's a crime, and if the shoes he sell aren't authentic...in this very moment he's cheating a lot of people of the world...
Please... help me to recognize the model of the shoes that I have...because I'm very confussed...
I'll post you a pictures of the shoes he sells, and in a couple of hours I'll post you the pictures of my shoes...
you can also check an compare the shoes he sells, with the pictures of the shoes that he have in his webpage... www.latinosmall.com
he doesn't sell them like fakes... check the prices and the pictures...
since I received my shoes... I was very suspicios about the seewings, the sole...in not many words... the quality of the shoe!!!
and because I am a shoe addict... I always search all the catalogs and bla bla bla... and I've never seen a manolo blahnik model VERY VERY CLOSE to the JIMMY CHOO ELAN (the pair I bought and I receive the ''manolo's'')
But I don't know, I'm confussed...maybe they're authentic... I just want your opinioon...for me, It'll be great that you tell me: Girl, don't worry, your shoes are authentic...they costs every penny you spent on them...
but If they don't, I'm shure that I won't have my money back, I just want to stop him, and stop him to cheating on people...understand?...
That's why I need your help...
please check the pictures... and later I'll send you more...please check them...you... manolo blahnik expert! and tell me your honest opinion...

Hello does anyone know if this website is authentic? www.uberglam.com.au i think it is advertised in Australian Vogue, but just wanted to make sure! Thanks!

 

[bjorkina]

check this... and you make the differente...

I've been craving these Manolos ever since I came across them...the thing is, they are not available in any stores (the style is from some previous year/season) and the seller seems to have them in almost every size (along with the black Manolo mary janes). I contacted the seller to ask what store they came from, the seller just said that they weren't available in any stores and that she had just gotten a new shipment in. Can anybody tell me if these are real or not? The seller's feedback is about 99.8% positive so I am inclined to believe her, but it's a lot of money (they are selling above retail with a nice profit, so it's not like the price is too suspicious).

I don't know a lot about the manolo's... but...check the difference about this pictures (That I think, they aren't authentic)...
you can also search about the characteristics of the model you want (If they have swarovsky cristals on them...etc etc) and be very very careful with the tag!!!, the font of the tag, the size of the tag!!!...be very very careful with the seewings, and the material of the shoe...the sole... watch every detail... don't miss any... and ask for the receipt or anything to prove it's authenticity!!!...I tell you this, because someone cheat me!...first... he cheat on me because of the price (expensive like in the official stores), and the pictures that he sent me...and when my shoes arrived...ohh surprise!! they aren't what I expected... be careful!!! and don't miss any detail...!!
