CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN AUTHENTICITY QUESTIONS GO HERE.


****

FIRST, PLEASE DO A SEARCH BY SELLER NAME OR ITEM NUMBER TO SEE IF YOUR QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
This is not a thread to ask general questions about CL, please refer to our main CL forum for information about sizing, seasons, etc.


IF THE AUCTION/SHOES HAVE NOT YET BEEN AUTHENTICATED, POST HERE.

This is a free service, so it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format. PLEASE LEAVE A SPACE AFTER THE COLONS.

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REQUESTS TO THREE (3) PER POST.



FOR AUCTION SITES:

Item: xxxx
Listing number: xxxx
Seller: xxxx
Link: xxxx
Comments: xxxx

If the shoes in question are
NOT ON AN AUCTION SITE, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
Seller:
Comments:
Please give us as much information as you can and then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos).

This format to prevent duplication requests and to make it simpler for people to 'search' for items which may have been posted previously. If you feel that your post has been skipped, you may repost but please copy and paste the ORIGINAL LINK, do not just copy and paste the link from your post.

Please post ALL of the following photos to insure ACCURATE authentication:

ON A HARD SURFACE, NOT A BED OR CARPETING ;*We need to see the ENTIRE shoe, not a cropped portion.


PROFILE: this is a shot of the entire side of the shoe, and should be taken straight on, NOT from above or below
BACK
FRONT
LABEL/LOGO inside the shoe
SOLE 1: a clear close-up shot of the logo/size stamp, preferably no flash
(a macro lens is best for this shot &; it's the flower icon on your camera)
SOLE 2: a shot of the entire sole
BOOTS: Please do your best to get a clear shot of the label inside the boot. This can be tricky, but it can be done.

SNEAKERS: For sneakers good quality close-ups of the following details are required:

SIZE STAMP
CL LOGO ON THE INSOLE
& MADE IN& STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE
CL STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE


AUTHENTICATORS: Please utilize the "QUOTE" feature when responding directly to another post. Please do not publicly post details about why you think an item is or is not authentic, sellers of fakes have been known to lurk here and we would not want to help them.

Should one of YOUR items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity. DO NOT handle disputes with other members in this thread &; take your differences to Private Messages.
****Failure to do so can result in BANNING.****

Shoes in listing and post here are authentic. Some older styles have numbers printed on the heel area. Also, labels on boxes have changes during the years.

Hi Nilla, thanks for the comments, I learnt something new. But I still have some question about the above red shoes which I bought from ebay. I compared with my other nud pair from official store. I feel the underneath of this red pair is not gloss shiny, a bit mat. 2nd, on the surface the logo, 'b' and 'o' letter connect each other, I read other post to teach how to spot fake in the this forum, it is not same with either of authorial example. Last, I feel the word size '37' the '3' written different from every Louboutin I saw. U can see the pic '3' is not round, it is start with '-' . Hope u understand what I mean. I really appreciate u can answer my concerns. If someone can answer my questions, welcome XXX

The shoes are authentic. Older soles were less shiny than new ones. Also, there have been many variations in the stamp font (both soles and insoles).
 
Hi there, i bought a pair of patent VP's off ebay which i did have authenticated, however there are some differences between them and my pair of kid leather VP, Im pretty sure they are authentic but just want to be sure as i bought them for my mum and hopefully will be surprising her tonight with them :)

The dust bag is slightly smaller and redder for the patent ones, and the lettering on the in-sole is slightly different too.

Many thanks!
