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, thanks for your help previously! Got another pair, they do look nice but the logo on the bottom look suspiciously shallow and worn...

Thanks!

Model: unknown, no box or bag
They look fine. CLs are handmade, so there will always be differences with logos, etc.

Take a few minutes to go over this extremely helpful thread:

Hello,

I’d really appreciate if someone could confirm these are legit or not? Purchased from the RealReal. All pics are of the actual heels. Thank you very much. The crystals look like Swarovski.

Need your own pictures to properly authenticate. The rest are ok, just retake the first 3.
Ok thank you. Here’s some more pics. My concern is the stamp inside isn’t embossed. It feels flat.

Hello, I was referred here and told you were the people to ask. I volunteer with a local children's charity and these shoes were donated to us. I've been asked to list them on eBay but of course know they need to be authenticated first. They are white sparkle Louboutin (or not) stilettos and I think the pictures show what you require. I would be VERY grateful for your help as we are trying to raise $8000 for our Easter Extravaganza that supplies full Easter baskets and extra toys to approximately 250 kids! I honestly know NOTHING about Louboutins other than that they're red on the bottom, so please forgive my ignorance. I can supply any pictures you need. THANKS IN ADVANCE, Beth

Qqitzcrystal is right, the shoes are definitely fake.
