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.****

Hi all!

First post here. I posted in the “Help me find these louboutins” thread searching for this particular shoe a bit ago, but then my sister actually found a pair on Poshmark today! We impulsively purchased before checking to authenticate and I’m now feeling a bit anxious! They looked pretty good to me… but I’m not too experienced dealing with the authentication process for Louboutin (this would be my first pair). I would so appreciate if someone could lend their expertise and take a look at these for me to let me know what I’m dealing with? I’ll list all of the relevant information that is available to me (as per the 1st page of this thread requests) as best I can but please let me know if I’m missing anything! Thanks in advance for your time!! (& sorry for this long winded intro!!):heart:

P.S. some of the following pictures may have uploaded twice and I cannot figure out how to change it, I’m so sorry:eek:

Item Name: seller simply lists item as “Christian Louboutin”

Link: https://posh.mk/025oEYdAjpb

Seller: @ vsmf

Comments: seller’s listing description: “Christian Louboutin; Silver Heel; Tinsel; Made in Italy; Size 35 1/2 EU (5 US)”

Pictures (every one included in the listing):
View attachment 5382220View attachment 5382220View attachment 5382222View attachment 5382223View attachment 5382224View attachment 5382225View attachment 5382226
They look good. Welcome to Tpf and enjoy your first pair. :flowers:
 
Hello :smile:

I’ve bought my partner some (hopefully) authentic Louboutins from eBay for her birthday (tomorrow!), and I wanted to check they were 100% legit as I’ve already parted with some money for them.

I will take better photos once they arrive tomorrow, but for now they are eBay U.K. listing number 334242461994 and can be seen at the following link.


On close inspection it appears there is a Harvey Nichols department store sticker on the shoe box with the numbers 35 C on, which could perhaps relate to their size in another country?

The seller has good feedback, and seems honest etc, although the photos are not the best quality.


Thank you in advance.

UPDATE!

These have arrived.

They appear to be lightly worn rather than brand new, although it would be interesting to see if they’re genuine, or if the soles look refurbishe



Any help would be massively appreciated :-) thank you

I don't see any red flags, however, the pics you uploaded are insufficient. Please post pics according to PAGE ONE of this thread so we can authenticate for you.

Hi,

I’m sorry they weren’t clear and as per instructions. See more attached.

The box appears real, but she could have put fake shoes in a real box. I didn’t receive the dust bag as clearly shown in the pictures so I have started an eBay resolution to ask her to send this.

I paid £275 for these, as they were sold as new but I think there are some signs of wear. What I’m hoping you can establish is:

1) are these real

and

2) does it look as though the bottoms may have been refurbished?

Thank you so much. This is an amazingly kind service you’re offering.

- Set your mind at ease, they are authentic.
- IMHO the soles do look like they've been worn and then painted.

The link you provided only goes to the site, not your shoes. I don't see any obvious red flags, but the pics are too small to be sure.

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to review - sorry about the link- I've tried again to redirect to the shoe
