Thank you, this was really helpful. I received a top from a friend as a gift and was going to resell it but of course, wanted to authenticate first since I didn't purchase it myself.
There were a few things that I had compared to the Juicy items I bought that seemed off the stitching on the label thing was the dead giveaway- that I had not noticed until I read your post. All of my Juicy items have the label stiched on like you mentioned and the top from the friend has the same color stitching as the label.
I know when my friend bought the tank tops, she said she got them on sale and bought two. I had a feeling she got them at Marshall's or a discount store. The quality doesn't seem bad but the label doesn't have the "shimmer" that my other juicy items have- and the stitched crown seems a lot different from my pieces. Also, the care label on the inside seam says MADEIN PERU (the spacing is almost exactly like that) at the bottom. Probably the biggest giveaway.
Since I only own pants and hoodies, I didn't have a similar top to compare to. If there are ever exceptions that any of you know of, please let me know...I have pics! Thanks!
