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.****

Hello! I bought several supposedly new items off a poshmark seller recently, and sadly, I believe each and everyone of them is a fake :cry:. In hindsight, I want to smack myself over the head to be so naive and expect such "too good to be true" prices to be of authentic items, but alas, here we are. However, I did want a second opinion. Since the items belong to different brands, I'll go ahead and post about them in their separate forums. In this post, I am addressing a pair of black suede heels (there was no style mentioned in the listing).

Comments:
Red flag warnings: glue stains all over this supposedly new shoe, misaligned seams, inner sole not fitted correctly, fake looking box with wrong color and "3d" raised lettering, wrong red of the soles (different from an authentic CB I own, purchased from Barneys), etc.

Thank you!

Help!

Item: 100% Authentic Christian Louboutin Rantux Orlato Woman Flat Glit F/Nappa Gold
Listing number: 172124647363
Seller: fashionfinder23
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Authent...647363?hash=item28136dafc3:g:nAUAAOSwXshWtPp9
Comments: Can't find this style anywhere online. Suspicious because it's spelled wrong. Thank you!

I don't authenticate sneakers. Please wait for someone else.

Look good pending a pic of the size marking.

Fake
 
Here are some more pictures. Can the sole construction (see side view) and gap between sole and heel really be authentic? Sole stamp looks suspicious also, gap in the "C"/"L" curve.

Sorry to repost but these shoes were missed and others after them were authenticated (I posted more pics as requested). Can you please look at these? I'm suspicious because of the gap and also some glue coming out near the sole seam. Thank you so much.

Edit: Original request and additional post with more pictures are both on page 655 of this thread.
