Hi Johnny, thank u for your input! you have a great point since I know many love this fashion style, but don’t enjoy paying the high price (like myself 😜) I agree with you that when it’s too expensive it becomes a turn off, which is why My channel focuses on making luxury affordable and attainable for normal ppl like u and I. That’s why I love to share how I get my items for such low cost. In my video, I did mention that the seller fraudulently told me that my purchase is authentic so as a buyer I did not like that they were dishonest. it’s nice to your hear your opinion and it shows that everyone has a different preference. Have a good day!
Luqman saleem you’re welcome! I’m so glad that you were able to verify it! Hopefully you got it at a discount too 🙂 Enjoy rockin your new shirt I’m sure it looks great on you!
Thank you for the very helpful tips. FYI, I sell Balenciaga, Givenchy, Balmain, Moschino, and Gucci casualwears. Thr price you paid is MSRP/online price, so obviously you got the real one. I sell my Balenciaga for ard USD 300 and up because I get my merchandises from a legit wholesaler in Italy. I can tell you this much. The wholesale price of a Balenciaga t-shirt is at least Euro100. There is no way you get less than that; thus, someone offers for ard 100-150, then it is definitely fake. To wash..handwash, inside out...get woolite or gentle detergent, soak it, rinse gently..no tumble dry or twisting. And put on towel on flat surface away from sunlight. I sometime just hang it on hanger and leave for air dry. Do not wash too often if u dont sweat much.
Hi Peter! Thank you for your positive feedback! Wow your prices are so low so I think In that case we may have to exchange info 🙃 I’m always interested in getting the best deals and sharing it with my viewers. I agree with you on how to maintain these expensive shirts. I hang wash a lot of my items because even bringing it to the dry cleaners can be risky. I use your exact method, from time to time either pop them in the dryer for 10 min to get out wrinkles, or I use a steamer and it looks as good as new 😃 I wish you the best of luck with your clothing business and I look forward to taking a look at your items. Have a blessed weekend 🙏🏼🙏🏼
hey nikki! may i know which season does this shirt belong to? i just bought this shirt from another person yesterday. the interior stitching seems fine, looks the same as yours (however a few threads are coming out due to wear and tear) however the first “E” is the same as the fake shirt in your video. does that mean that the shirt is fake? please advice me on this nikki! thank you so much in advance! 🙏
Hi Troyal! My apologies for the late response. I’m out of the country and my connection is a bit spotty. I’m not quite sure what season it is, I think it’s early 2019 but don’t quote me on that. If you still need further assistance, pls send pictures of the shirt and I’d love to take a look and do my best to help you out! Nikkismania@gmail.com thank you!
Compre una camiseta balenciaga, negra con el logo rojo y blanco ondulado. El caso es que la etiqueta de dentro tiene dos hojas, pero la primera está escrito por delante, y la segunda, escrita por detrás. Es extraño que no está escrito en medio de cómo lavar. No? Un saludo
Hi There! It doesn’t necessarily mean the shirt is fake, but it would depend on the style of the shirt and when it was manufactured. Do you know the style name so that I can better assist you? Shoot me some pictures and any other questions you may have to my email and I can surely help you out nikkismania@gmail.com take care and happy holidays 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, Niki. Thanks for a great video. what do you think about ebay sellers who sell t-shirts through an auction. I recently bought a balenciaga t-shirt. the seller said it was authentic but I have doubts
Hi and thank you! From experience, most shirts on eBay are replica. My advice to you is to always look at seller reputation and the reviews. If the price is too low, it’s likely a replica. Always do your own research for verification ✅ they have so many good reps nowadays
Chinese will roll out fakes even before new collections come out. When I buy my merchandises, I check backgrounds of my suppliers. Check their VAT numbers, invoices from original manufacturer (Balenciaga is owned by Kering Group), and model numbers and so on so that my customers can buy with confident and peace of mind.
so you say that balenciaga wouldn't sell a t-shirt with tiny white spots on a rainbow embroidery but will sell shirts with holes on it? for 430$ difference... hmm
Geo Bou the replica that I reviewed was men’s sizing true to size. BUT there are different kinds of replicas so they may not all be the same in terms of sizing. Let me know if I can help you with anything else 🙂
Hey Nikkimania, maybe you should upload future videos in 1080p at least. 720p is not doing it these days. I cannot watch your videos on my uhd 55 tv.. Without the quality being bad. :)
Hi Sander! I can understand your frustration and thank you for bringing this to my attention. As a new TH-camr, I’m still learning how to shoot, edit, even speak in front of a camera lol. From now on I will be uploading in 1080p and 4K (as soon as I figure out how to edit from my laptop). The new video I just posted is correctly formatted, as promised. As the quality gets better just promise you won’t point out that strands of my hair are sticking out or that I have lipstick on my teeth from that extremely clear TV of yours 😂 thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Neil, that is a great question. I’ve never bought from grailed before but I hope my video can be useful to you as you verify it in terms of the tag placement, stitching and matching the price tag to make sure they are identical. From my experience, it’s always good to ask questions to the buyer so if it ends up being a replica, you will always get your money back guaranteed and I know grailed stands behind that policy as replica items are prohibited. Let me know if I can help you with anything else have a blessed day 🙏🏼
Exactly the same thing. Anybody who would pay 600 for a shirt is nuts you can't ever notice unless your looking. Bags are worth it but not a piece of cloth. $20 bucks for that shirt and it's perfect for me ;)
@@nikkimania if you see what I mean you'd understand hah. 💋 I compare to my real in my vids the clothing is unreal how perfect it is all under $20 NOTHING more. If you get the right PR and sales. Sorry you don't know the secrets 😉
jasminemcc Luckily I was covered by buyer protection so I was able to get my money back phew! Most shopping platforms guarantee the item you receive or your money back so it saved me tons of hassle :)
The material of the fake shirt doesn’t look faded that’s why lol aside from the bad stitching I would prefer a smoother material too .. I notice most T shirt high end brands look faded . Not sure why .
Hi Alex, yes they can. Towards the end of my video, I compare both of them and explain how the tag can look exactly the same, but the material of the tag and the font is slightly different. Play close attention as everything written on the tag is identical. Hope this helps and if you need anything else don’t hesitate to ask! Have a blessed holiday 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Buy the fake shirt and give the rest of the money to charity or feed the homeless for a day. I can easily afford such expensive items but I won’t, when Ive seen so much tragedies around the world. Go Africa go a week I promise you’ll never look at designer items the same way again.
Hi Devon, this real vs fake video is for informational purposes only. My channel has several videos of informing others how to maximize their money and how to authenticate on their own so others don’t get scammed. I’m in the Philippines, so I can assure you I know what kind of circumstances people that are less fortunate have to deal with. I do charity work and donate monthly, but I also believe that what someone does with their money is their own concern. Appreciate your input nonetheless, have a blessed day.
B Apart from being a Peace Corps volunteer and dedicated quarter of my life to helping children and seeing children without basic needs such as clean water or food to eat. it’s only natural I feel this way about materialistic things. I don’t expect people to understand as most haven’t been to Bolivia, India, Uganda, Rwanda, and Malawi like I did. I’ve spent most of my adult life in these countries and trust me it’s heart breaking! And pls don’t take offence, of course it’s your hard earned money it’s you choice how you want to spend. I’d rather use my money to help others, that’s all.😊
I really do hope you find better things to do during quarantine instead of coming on my page to make assumptions about someone you don’t know. I pray God lead u to be a more productive person, good day
nikkimania I made no assumptions about you at all actually. The video showed a replica and authentic shirt that retailed for almost $600. The materialism is in the value and importance that’ society puts on 2 cotton material shirts, in reality it’s the same thing. Speaking of quarantine, I’m pretty sure Christian Dior shirts aren’t helping anyone but $600 sure can. Gods always with me, I’m always productive and it’s social media I just made a comment on a video, just like you and the rest of the world does in 2020 lol. Sorry if you felt attacked.
I know right! IMO it can lowkey pass. Got it from eBay, but it was worn once so considered preloved. I don’t think it’s available anymore, but u can deff try searching there 🙂
Hi Myka! Yes, it is very likely have a factory there. Let me know if you find an outlet nearby, that would be so dope to know they have designer sales in Portugal from one of my favorite brands! Take care and have a blessed day 🙏🏼💯
A t-shirt @ $550!? Sorry, girl. You got scammed twice.
Mr Viking to each their own. I sure don’t feel scammed, I’m as happiest as ever 😄😄Good day!
HAHAHAH
Lool...ppl are so vain...
Lol 😂
bums gonna bum
For that imperfections that nobody will spot them, well worth replica price paid and (90%) the cost of the genuine one that looks absolutely same.

@@nikkimania I think you paid a lot for a replica, but I saw some of the replicas with 20 or 30 dollars, that's a fair price for a replica...
I scored one for 160$ I thought It had to be fake.. this video helped insure it was indeed a real Balenciaga.. 💁🏽♂️
Nice! What a steal 👏🏼 glad I could be of help! So many ways to style that shirt, it’s one of my favs!
just received mine and thank god mine is original.Thanks nikki❤️
Luqman saleem you’re welcome! I’m so glad that you were able to verify it! Hopefully you got it at a discount too 🙂 Enjoy rockin your new shirt I’m sure it looks great on you!
Thank you for letting me not make the mistake of buying a FAKE balenciaga shirt. Great channel!!!
Massive!!!
Very easy to get real items for cheap gotta do research just got 3 off-white shirts for 100 authenticate on the website. You gotta really scout for it
Also, the real shirt has a green B on the top right B and the fake one has a B that looks almost white...
U have a great eye for detail, Thanks for pointing that out April!

Not to mention, Al shirts are gilden Bella canvas new level or gilden soft style .. they take the tag off and put that tag on. It's really sad.

Actually I don't give a shit whether it's replica. It's my money and therefore I don't give a fuck of what people says.
if the size tag is below the wash tag (not above) does it mean it's fake? or is it possible that it's mean to be that way in a specific type of shirt

Noted! Will deff add that to the list for future vlogs thank you!
can i send picture of mine so that you can figure out that if it is real or not i would really appreciate that.
Bit late now but can’t you just compare to the one in the video? Lmao.

Peter Park any tips for buying vintage Balenciaga clothing? I’ve been seeing some items in us sizing but Balenciaga hardware and stitching
is there a way i can get the link to the fake shirt so i can get "scammed" thanks you.
Hi! it was from mercari and the seller only had one. DM me on IG and I can share some tips w u @nikkimania
hi , can you help me identify if my balenciaga shirt is real or fake?
Shoot me a dm on IG @nikkimania
the replica looks just as good as the original
Great video, thanks

Exactly the same thing. Anybody who would pay 600 for a shirt is nuts you can't ever notice unless your looking. Bags are worth it but not a piece of cloth. $20 bucks for that shirt and it's perfect for me ;)

Only question in my head your gucci sheet is authentic?
Hi there yes it is. It’s a Gucci wool throw blanket from their collection years back 🙂
So what do you do with the fake one?! Are you able to return it??

Fake seems better 😇
The material of the fake shirt doesn’t look faded that’s why lol aside from the bad stitching I would prefer a smoother material too .. I notice most T shirt high end brands look faded . Not sure why .
