Warning: Authentic vs Fake Louboutin Websites

Shomore · #1 (**permalink**) 08-04-2009, 02:59 AM

Warning!!! Numerous sites are selling fake Christian Louboutins. According to the OFFICIAL Louboutin website (found at Christian Louboutin official web site and Christian Louboutin official web site France. .), they do not operate an ecommerce site at this time. Therefore, all websites with Louboutin in the domain name are selling counterfeit shoes.

To purchase authentic Louboutin, here's a list of reputable ecommerce sites we can recommend and vouch for:
Netaporter.com
Saks.com
NeimanMarcus.com
Bluefly.com

All other websites are highly suspicous. Often times, the photos will look genuine, but that is because the photos are taken from the approved websites like Net-A-Porter. You will not get the real thing when you order it! Please post if you find any knock off Louboutin sites so we can stop these sites from proliferating and protect Louboutin's name! Note You may also see Louboutin ads being displayed on this forum. We try to ban them as soon as we see them, but sadly we don't have the type of control to auto remove them.

Fake websites include:
louboutinbox.com
louboutinfashion.com
louboutinmall.com

If you are still tempted to purchase from the fake sites, here's why fake will never beat real from the NY Daily News

It seems too good to be true - and it is.

Tens of thousands of online shoppers are falling for the latest variety of fakes flooding the Internet.

Despite ultra-convincing pictures and claims that the Web sites are run directly by the designers and the footwear is individually crafted in Europe, it's a scam.

The goods are neither handmade nor exclusive. They are mass-produced in China.

The "leather" often smells of toxic chemicals, the "hand-stitching" is replicated by sewing machine, and the sizing is inaccurate.

Return the purchase and, on top of the cost of shipping, customers are subject to a "restocking" fee of up to 20%. Little wonder most swallow the disappointment and don't bother to send them back.

If disappointment were the only result of the fraud, it wouldn't make headlines. Who really cares about image-obsessed fashionistas being ripped off?

On closer examination, however, this international con has a devastating and far-reaching effect.

Child labor, money laundering, prostitution and terrorist activity go hand in hand with the counterfeit trade managed by criminal gangs.

In a recent sweatshop raid in Thailand a group of children, all under 10 years old, was found assembling leather purses. Horrifyingly, their limbs had been deliberately broken to keep them from escaping. The owners had tied their lower legs to their thighs so the bones wouldn't mend.

Closer to home, fakes are believed to be responsible for the loss of 750,000 American jobs, many in Manhattan's famed Garment District. They cost New York City an estimated $1 billion each year in tax revenue.

Copyright and trademark violations by cleverly named Web sites such as ChristianLouboutinLondon.com and LouboutinOnly.com rob the fashion industry of millions more.

"People assume it's a victimless crime, but that couldn't be further from the truth," says magazine publisher Valerie Salembier, who heads Harper's Bazaar's anticounterfeiting program FakesAreNeverInFashion.com.

"If the end user knew that their $50 knock-off handbag funds terrifying practices by organized criminals, they would think again about that supposed bargain. In France, customers risk imprisonment or heavy fines for purchasing or carrying fake goods."

Posting this other potential buyers.

Please stay away from christianlouboutinonsale.com. They sell fake Louboutins. A few cues:

1) No where on the site do they state they sell "authentic" Louboutins.

2) During the checkout process, there is no https. The 's' part means your transaction is secure.

3) The images are stolen from NetAPorter (Christian Louboutin*|*C'est Moi shoe boots*|*NET-A-PORTER.COM) and Ebay.

4) I may be wrong, but C'est Moi is from 2008. They are no longer being sold unless it's on Ebay (which also has fakes) or from a consignment store.

4) On their About Us page, they indicate that they have been around since 2005. I did a whois and the site was only registered in April 2009, around when all the fake sites started popping up.

Lots of other reasons but just wanted to give you a few examples.

Stay steadfast though. I'm sure you'll get the CLs of your dream!
