Well I thought this was authentic but in doing more research I'm thinking it's not. Just wondering if anyone would know? Thanks! |

Very interesting! But would that automatically mean it's authentic or it could still be a fake? |

I think it's authentic from the Azria collaboration - you may want to run this by the fashion board as well. The photos on the ebay listing aren't very good (why do people do this, it doesn't COST to have more photos), but details like how the label is sewn in are telling, and the labels look the same to me.

I think it's just from Azria, which were made in China. If you search on this board that explains it a bit. I just searched it the other day with my Leger & found that old thread helpful.

<<***Note added on March 2014*** - Please note that the newest Herve Leger clothing has new tagging that is not covered in this post. This article was written in Feb. 2011. >>
I'd run it by the fashion board just to make sure before listing, even with this info, as the 2011 Azria collection probably came out after this one. If they absolutely had the side label on the main brand label and you don't see any stitching holes where such a label may have been removed, then I'd be very wary. If it's a fake you can always just pull out the Leger label and sell it as a cool bandage dress. Leger is about the only designer I know even some about.

Looking at the inside of some of the ones listed on eBay, I donāt see the bulky finished seams Iām seeing on yours. I canāt tell exactly where your seams are located but I would check into that a bit if I were you. The seams look pretty good for most dresses but if I were wearing a bandage dress (ha, not in this lifetime), I wouldnāt want any bulk under it.
Of course, if I had ever found a Herve Leger when I was thrifting, thereās a good chance it would still be hanging in the closet like my Fendi, Louis Vuitton, etc., since I am too chicken to list them.

I opted to sell my Leger kilt on Etsy - there was no way I was trusting it on eBay. Same with the Dior I had.

I appreciate all the help, I'm still not sure so I think the best bet is do like you suggested, remove the label and just sell it as a bandage dress. I've had enough issues with buyers (don't know what a wrap dress is, claims of a broken zipper but I tested it as I was packaging it, etc) I don't want to invite trouble. |

I canāt advise you on how to sell it but can state that IMO it is absolutely authentic and clearly labeled as made in China.IMO it would be nuts to remove the labels and sell it as anything other than Leger.
Love that I come up as a ānew memberā when Iāve been around since the getgo but admittedly only post infrequently.

Thanks for stopping in, @jsales0! I only recommended removing the labels if it was, indeed, a fake.

I'm just leery because it seems I've had so many issues lately. I have found out I have too many SNADS and am paying 4% more in fees! One was the wrap dress that I should have described better because even though it's reversible she said she's never see a wrap dress that wasn't attached  One was a claim of broken zipper, I check all zippers when packing because I've made that error years ago. One was the nightgown she thought was "yellowed" when the fabric was folded. One said it was damaged in shipping, never even showed a photo! And I just got one on a vintage dress. She wrote a whole dissertation about how there was an alteration to the hem and I deliberately did not show the hem in the photo, I cropped it. 1. She asked too many questions, over and over and really talked me down in price, I should have known better. 2. You can see the silver disk that is the bottom of my dress form in the photo, there's no cropping.
Research shows if you call and get them removed it STILL counts against the metric where they can charge you more. I have one falling off Oct 11th, so hopefully after my evaluation on the 20th next month I should be under the threshold. So now I'm all paranoid if I sell this as a Herve Ledger I might have yet ANOTHER Problem. Of all the cases I did overlook a couple of flaws. But most are buyer issues they want a refund and not to pay return shipping.

I'm sorry you're having such a streak of bad luck, esp. with an idiot who's never seen a wrap dress that isn't attached (hello, the attached ones are called faux wrap for a reason), but I'm not following why you think you'd have a problem. It is labelled Herve Leger (not Ledger which may have been a typo) & it appears to be a Leger. The Azrias are made in China, that's expected, but you can certainly highlight that in your listing. What benefit is there to selling it for anything other than what it is? Isn't it just as possible that you could get a SNAD if you remove the labels? I mean your recent experience shows that you can get a SNAD on anything :-(

I guess I might as well research the Azria Leger listings on ebay and see how I can word it to make sure it's clear  |

Max Azria has owned the Leger name and label since 1998 so by now people ought to be used to seeing the RN with the Leger label.
