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.****

I just bought two pairs of pre-loved Louboutins from different sellers (one off Facebook, one from a consignment shop in San Francisco) and I've psyched myself out that they're fakes, so I'm hoping someone can put my mind at ease! Thanks very much in advance!

Style: Louboutin New Simple Pump (120 with platform), patent in a burgundy/wine color

Concerned about these as well - bought them at a reputable consignment shop in San Francisco (Simply Chic) and only did my research after the fact. Am worried about the lack of "Paris" on the insole, the "serrated"/"scalloped" edges at the heel side of the insole and the dull shine of the bottom sole. (It's not glossy like my authentic Louboutin heels are, but I don't know if this style or if their kitten heels are usually as glossy as the higher heels.) Also kind of worried about the dye bleed on the inside edges of the shoes (last pic) but maybe this is normal in relatively humid regions? (I've only owned patent Louboutins so hasn't been a problem for me before...)

Thank you in advance!

Good, this is a vintage pair so some details are different compared to more recent styles
 
Hi everyone, can someone please authenticate these for me. They are Louboutin attrouppee purchased from www.therealreal.com. They were sent without a box or a dust bag. I have been searching high and low so I hope that they are real.
