    Guilty Brotherhood Jacket - Is it Real?

    I mean, it's real insofar as it occupies physical space in the universe, but is it authentic? https://www.ebay.com/itm/166488560190 It's made in India; no RN. I've seen other pieces made in Portugal that also had no RN. GB is an obscure label I've been unable to learn much about. Any useful...

    Because they're known as being costly and can be seen a mile away (generally). It's mostly young persons who knowingly buy fakes, usually just to have a look or to impress a potential mate.

    Yes, there was a story about a rapper who caught a fan wearing fake Balenciaga shoes and chided him for it. "Riky Rick responded to the critics by sharing an image of the man with his new shoes. “The kid some of you are saying was ‘humiliated’ is saying ‘thank you’ for being saved from...

    If they'll 'fake' paper cups with Disney characters on, they'll 'fake' Balenciaga. ^^

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Found somethig funny: a Balenciaga tie from the 70's---still had its price sticker ($50.00) from 'Cuzzens' (a supplier of the defunct S. Klein dept. store). The tie is ugly (sure), but it's growing on me :3

    UPDATE: I requested a refund; I just don't trust the tie and the seller hadn't mailed it yet. It... Kinda worked out? No losses on my end, anyway. The Balmain eBoutique was more interested in games than in answering my question, BALMAIN: "Dear Madam, dear Sir, Thank you for your email...

    Like A/X is licensed or RL's 'Lauren' line is licensed. Yes, these are legitimate lines, even if they aren't overseen by their respective design houses, but products from these lines may themselves be counterfeited. For example, one may find both a real 'Lauren' tie and a fake one from a...

    Sniped this on eBay ($6 shipped). Unsure of its legitimacy. The seller is, obviously, a Goodwill/Salvation Army scavenger: much of his inventory is marked 'pre-owned' (inc. this tie) and is of the red-label Brooks Brothers and JAB persuasion. I have a Balmain sweatshirt bought from Matches...
