I have just received this pair of 'Simone flair' I can usually tell fakes at a glance and the denim on these feels wrong, but I have never had this style before, so although I'm pretty sure they are fake I need to be absolutely definite!
I have only bothered taking label & pocket pics because I think they show enough - the labels don't really look neat enough and there is no stitching line continuing down under the corner of each label.
please let me know if more pics needed!
Many thanks in advance
Bee!

oh i'm really confused now! because I read through the autheniticty guide again and the stitching on all the labels is scruffy & lopsided like it says in the guide it will NEVER be on a genuine pair! plus the white inner label font is not the same as any I have seen and then I have checked the pocket pics against the Simone pocket pics in the picture guide and the embroidery stitching on the wings is a lot thicker on this pair...
Would be really grateful for any more feedback as the seller is waiting to hear from me and I am really not sure! :/

I see what you mean about the stitching and the labels, but for some reason they look ok to me. Id wait for other opinions since that is just my opinion and I could be wrong.

Real IMO too.

Do you have this on hand? If so, look as close as you can to that stitching on the tag...you should be able to somewhat make out the lettering on the microstitching. I can't see it easily from the picture, but the wash looks good as well as the stitching on the back pocket.

Hi - sorry for the delay in coming back to this - have been away for a few days - I've checked the silver stitching and compared to another pair - I can definitely see the lettering in the other pair (great tip I never knew to look for that before!) but there is definitely none in this pair, the silver stitching is way too thin, does this mean they are definitely fakes?

Many thanks!
