The recurring question that plagues the resell market...⁠ ⁠ How accurate is authentication when many platforms have reportedly let the fakes through on the one hand but also rejected authentic goods on the other? ⁠ ⁠ Counterfeit items making their way onto platforms like @grailed and @stockx has been well documented in the press and on social media.⁠ ⁠ In March 2022, Raphael Moschitz, a 25-year-old fashion enthusiast from Austria, bought a reversible @vetements_official bomber jacket from The @theoutnet. Several months later, decided to sell it on Grailed. To his shock, the Grailed authentication team flagged the jacket as fake. Surprised, Moschitz tried to re-list it, after which Grailed suspended his account, which he had had since 2015.⁠ ⁠ So, can resale sites overcome authentication fails? ⁠ ⁠ Hit the link in the bio to find out more.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: @eugenerabkin⁠ 📷️: @grailed, @therealreal, @welcome.jpeg, Getty
