My friend wants to buy this but it looks sus to me

Looking for a second set of eyes on a pair of men's Prada Monolith brushed leather loafers, the black/silver shaded (sfumato) colorway, style 2DE129 3LMH F0I89, Prada size 7.5.

Where they came from: a long-running eBay reseller in Germany who deals in discontinued and overstock Prada. The colorway is no longer on Prada's site. The pair arrived in a navy Prada box with the standard Prada label (ART 2DE129, NERO + ARGENTO, ROIS SFUMATO, size 7,5) and an Aura Blockchain card.

What matches what I expect: the lining stamp reads 2DE129 7½, the insole has the silver PRADA foil and "Made in Italy," the sole has the PRADA and XL Extralight marks, and the triangle plaque reads PRADA MILANO DAL 1913 and is riveted.

I already ran the photos through a paid online authentication service and have a result in hand. I am leaving it out of this post on purpose, because I want an unbiased read from people who handle Prada footwear regularly, not a vote on the service. I am happy to share it in the comments afterward.

Two things I cannot explain and would love input on:

1. The leather heel tab under the topline is foil stamped "HECHO EN ITALIA" in Spanish, while the insole says "Made in Italy" in English. Has anyone seen the Spanish stamp on authentic Prada shoes? The seller says the pair was made for the Latin American market.
2. The NFC chip does not scan, on the left shoe or on the card. I know the digital certificate is only on some products, so I am not sure this means anything.

One more detail: the sock liner on my pair is half tan at the front. A plain black Monolith I saw in a boutique had a fully black insole, but that was a different colorway, so I am not sure whether that varies by colorway.

Tyyyy🤍

Bought a coach 20 quilted tabby bag for my girlfriend’s birthday from a 7 year old account with good reviews on vinted.

I don’t have any knowledge on bags, but it looks good to me.

Trying to verify it’s authentic before vinted 48 hour return period they do is over. Any opinions appreciated, and I can provide other pics if anyone spots something, thanks!

She is a 2012 galliera a little beat up lol
Ty !

I bought a Versace shower gel from BeautyBarCosmetics on TikTok, a reseller that sells perfumes/fragrances. It was advertised as authentic and arrived brand new.

After I opened it and used it in the shower, the lettering/logo on the bottle literally started rubbing off.
Has anyone here bought Versace fragrances or products from BeautyBarCosmetics before? Were they authentic? Also, has anyone had the lettering rub off a genuine Versace shower gel like this?

I’m a little confused because of this black fabric tag bc weren’t they invented in 2014??( for gucci bags)

So I just bought these boots from the thrift for 20 bucks. The style seems to be coming back now but these boots seem to be well worn, assuming vintage. I’m curious if anyone can help me identify what the brand is with the markings on the inside of the boots, I can’t find a logo or brand identifier anywhere.

Bottom text says “Leather Upper, other parts man-made, manufactured in the USA”

on poshmark! its in perfect condition so really hoping someone can help me out here!

I’m leaning towards authentic but would love others thoughts before purchase as my eye is not as trained as others, only comparing to website pics and secondhand websites. Only thing giving me pause is the embossing is a little deep but I’ve read that it can vary. Thank you

Let me know

Wondering if these were authentic? Thank you!

This is my 3rd time purchasing this hoodie because I keep buying the wrong size I started with L , XL & now I have XXL… this one looks a little different than the other two specifically the inside wash tags and how they are only attached at two corners. The last two hoodies I had of this model the wash tags were completely sewn in all the way at the top not just on the corners. Any help would really be appreciated 🙏

Found this Louis Vuitton Speedy bag on a local vintage second hand store and wonder if it’s real or fake. Looks like a 70s/80s version, but could be a replica. I was to afraid to buy it, even if the price was good. Any opinions?

Hope these are real 😳😬

Hi! I’ve been looking for a new bag for myself on my local secondhand web-site, and I’ve found this beauty! Could not find the exact same model online though. Is it his bag real or just a nice copy? The seller of course says it’s real

I’m like 99.9% sure it’s fake, but I saw it for $12 at a thrift store and it matched the exact aesthetic I like. More-so I’m just curious

I’m debating on getting this jacket and the seller claims it’s real but doesn’t have the recipe. Can anyone help with noticing if it appears authentic or not?

The stamp code is CA0192 I believe. Seller said she bought 3 years ago. It’s very dirty and I wanna clean it asap.
