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.

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.

Hi, please can I get you to give me your opinion whether these fifre boots are authentic. Photographs are attached, I can provide more if require. (Two dustbag are different when I purchased, apparently the seller just found two CL bags that fitted the shoes she owns many louboutin's hence why they don't match?) Thank you in advance x

Title: AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN BLACK/GOLD PLATFORM PUMPS SIZE 38 TPF
Seller: foreverredsoles
Item NUMBER: 281984967021

Let's do this correctly please and post the ACTUAL product. I purchased these shoes from this exact listing - here are the pictures of the ACTUAL shoes received (not just stock photos). This Seller is trying to get out of refunding my money. Please authenticate from the pictures I am posting. The seller has told me that peeling footbeds with visible glue and unevenly cut materials are common in new CL's which I know is NOT true as I actually own genuine CL's. I would appreciate the feedback of all Purse Forum members please.

Authentic.
 
Authentic.


So just to clarify ... the seller advertised "never worn pristine condition" but you are telling me that I should expect never worn authentic CL's to have peeling footbeds, visible glue, uneven stitching, discoloration in the leather? I'm just not buying it....


Oh, and the fact that the Seller told me they would post for authenticity here on this site and then I come here and find that they posted stock photos instead of the actual photos of received product seems pretty questionable. I guess I have my answer right there without even asking this forum.

Jenay is an experienced authenticator, and I trust her judgement.

I have, while trying on new CLs at several reputable stores, observed visible glue and uneven stitching. I've observed discoloration in the leather in the footbed in the pairs that are tried on most often. I choose not to purchase those pairs, although the if it's the last pair...

Regarding the peeling foot bed, I've never seen it but wouldn't be surprised as CL quality has been on the decline for the past few years. However, that could also be from use or from improper storage.

As to the seller posting for authenticity using stock photos, I agree that is questionable. Sadly, the authenticators can only work with what they're given. I'm sure your additional photos have helped.

As the other authenticators have told you, they are authenticating based on photos from the auction. If your questions pertain to the condition of the shoes you received, you might want to address that in the ebay forum. That is a separate issue from a request for authentication.

These shoes are authentic. They may have been previously handled. They may also have been affected by humidity or dry air (glue peeling). They do not necessarily look worn to me. Discoloration may have happened at the cobbler while they were being resoled. Sadly CL shoes are prone to peeling footbeds, visible glue and minor stitching issues.

If you feel like they are not in the condition you were promised, ask to return them, but they are authentic.
