chiqunique - those black patent Decoltissimo's are 100% authentic (if you're talking about the pair from ebay). That seller is 100% legit; I've had transactions with them and also watched their auctions for over 2 years. I know a lot of us get suspicious as soon as we notice it's an item from Hong Kong or another part of Asia (and with good reason to doubt), but there are a number of great, legit sellers from there as well.
I know, I love the color too!Hello All
This is my first post and I was wondering if you shoe experts could help please! I've just bought these CLs and haven't got a clue whether they're genuine or not! Although I'd love them to be, if they're not, I'll still enjoy wearing them! So, what do you guys think please?

ShelleyS - could you post a few more photos of those "Bruge" pumps? It would be very helpful to see, for example, one shoe (one foot) by itself, photo taken at eye level. The little details are correct so far, but my general rule of thumb about the Bruges is seeing the curvature/cut of the shoe. Once I see that detail I can give a more confident answer as to authenticity. Sadly there have been fake "Bruge" pumps on ebay and the cut is distinctly off from the original.....so I just wanted to see that detail.
Hi.. .I just got a pair of bronze lanvin ballerinas on ebay.. .i admit i dont have much experience distinguishing fake from authentic. . but the seller did have excellent feedback, and the shoes do seem authentic.. i am basing this on leather quality, other pics i have seen, etc, . . however, i was startled to see the sticker that indicates real leather on the bottom of the shoe says made in portugal.. . 
i thought all these shoes were made in france, or perhaps italy?!! does anyone know if any of these ballerinas from summer 2007 could possibly be made in portugal. .. need some help, please!!!

Has anyone bought from www.cozyboots.com? I'm planning to buy a new pair of Uggs, it's actually cheaper than zappos plus it has free shipping! So any information would be nice. Thanks in advance.
Welcome ShelleyS,I'll be interested to see the outcome of this also, I've seen these CL's being sold on ebay but very often the piture of the shoe is from an official website. The 'curl' in the toe part really bothers me as surely they should sit like the one below;
Hello Mulberryroxanne and thank you for the welcome.
Mmmm, I agree about the "curl" but strangely I found that some of the CLs look like this in the photos on a well known website that only sells authentic labels. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say their name on here but have copied a few of the photos for you to see! I think my photo has made it look worse than it really is IRL and after taking the photo I went back upstairs for another look and honestly, they don't look as curly in real life!!!!!! Strangely, the curl means the foot sits better in the shoe (less pointing down) and so very comfortable to wear! So, fake or no fake, I love them! Just really want to know if they're real or not out of curiosity!!!
