I have read quite a few reports on the lack of authenticity of Lacoste clothing on Ebay. I agree with them all. Lacoste is our main brand marketed on Ebay. We avoid selling shirts because in our opinion there are  few NEW genuine shirts on Ebay  and genuine cannot compete on price with the fakes. There are some second hand authentic shirts but even the used market is populated by sellers getting rid of their bum buys. We recommend to all our clients never to buy Lacoste or RL polo shirts on Ebay the chances of you locating the 0.000000001 % of genuine items is slim to say the least.Reliable  indicators of authenticity are: unpopular size , unsuccessful design  and awful colour and obscure item avoid anything that that has any semblance of taste or normality ( not all Lacoste issues are as successful as polo shirts) . We specialise in Lacoste bags and are happy to be consulted on authenticity on any Lacoste bag listed on Ebay. Sadly there are fakes but not as many as folk tend to think ( thanks to the polo shirt image ) the fake designs are few in number and usually dead easy to spot from a photograph. So if we can ever be of assistance dont hesitate to ask , making a sale is not quite as important as keping Ebay clean.
