With technology becoming more accessible and marketplace purchases becoming more popular, there are more fake designer products than ever before. It takes brand knowledge, a keen eye, and a wary disposition to spot a fake before parting with your hard-earned money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christian Louboutin shoes are one of the most recognized designer brands in the world. At more than $1,000 a pair, you’ll want to confirm that you’re buying the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are five easy ways to spot a fake Louboutin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest way to spot a fake Louboutin shoe is the certificate of authenticity. This card is typically red, with gold branded script, outlining that the shoe was made with real leather and a dedication to quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how can a certificate of authenticity help you beware of fakes<\/a>? Simple: they don’t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many scammers will create a beautifully branded certificate of authenticity with their knock-off Louboutin shoes. If you’re buying this iconic brand<\/a>, you already know they use real leather and high quality materials. The designer isn’t going to be redundant or cheapen the name by pushing that information with a certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, if it comes with a certificate of authenticity from the designer, it’s not authentic at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within each box of Louboutins is a cotton dust bag that’s designed to keep your shoes clean and scuff-free. While the bag is red cotton, it’s often confused for velvet because it’s so soft and plush. The dust bag should be cherry red with neat, overlapping stitches, a drawstring, and a general sense of quality. If the bag seems cheap or flimsy, it’s a fake (and so are the shoes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you purchase Louboutins, you’ll also receive spare parts for your shoes in the dust bag. These come in a smaller dustbag, not <\/em>a plastic bag. If the extra accessories come in a plastic zip-style bag within the larger dustbag, it’s a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Louboutins are recognized around the world for their iconic red leather soles. One of the easiest ways to recognize a false Louboutin bottom is to look for a plastic or faux leather material. The bottom will be imprinted with the size, logo, and the words \u201cMADE IN ITALY\u201d in all caps, evenly spaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that because the red bottom is so recognizable, scammers will invest more time and effort into making this part of the shoe look real. The differences between a real and a fake may be subtle \u2014 poorly spaced letters or a messy logo stamp, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned above, the subtle details of a fake are often the most telling. Compare an authenticated Louboutin logo to the one you’re eyeing, and watch for inconsistencies. The logo stamp may be a little messier or thickerer than the authentic version<\/a>. The letter spacing might be slightly off, or the font might not quite match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s also the printing inside the shoe to look for. The \u201cPARIS\u201d print inside the shoe should be at mid-point, with plenty of space between it and the logo. The typography should be thin, clearly defined, and elegant, not bulky or overcrowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, note the printing<\/a> on the box and dust bag. If it seems slightly misprinted or off, there’s a good chance it’s a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Dust Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
