I keep seeing the knockoffs floating around too! So awful
island_lilly21
@misfitkitten thank you for the heads up! We "poshers" got to stick together 🌸
misfitkitten
@island_lilly21 you're welcome , be careful on posh people will do anything to make a quick buck at your expense 😕
@hannastuart it's worse because it's not even with just the Barcelona dress I see people doing it with all of their dresses , or people trying to pass random dresses as fl&l (see other post)
katethegreat92
Did the dress your friend got even have a fake for love and lemons tag?!
misfitkitten
@katethegreat92 they had the inside label with the brand name / dress size but the care label doesn't have fl&l logo
I've seen a knock off on here with the black removable tag incorrectly attached , they had a black satin string and tied it to the inside label , that's not how it's connected the removable tag is either connected to the dress by a safety pin but newer dresses have this special connector that can't be reattached once cut off
katethegreat92
Okay! Thank you for the information. It's very helpful
kaprise27
Thanks for this!!!!
aashleyjanee
ALL THE FAKES ARE COMING FROM @dressyoulove she sold a bunch of them and people are reselling cus of bad quality. She is a scammer!!

@misfitkitten sad thing is price wasn't too good to be true. Paid $180 on Posh and I could've (and would've) paid around $200-200 for a real one on here eventually. I'm emailing Posh demanding a refund. My 30 days aren't up and they are supposed to protect us from this kind of deception... I'm so disappointed. Thank you for warning others about this, so they don't get duped like I did 😕
misfitkitten
@kzehnd1 good luck I hope poshmark sides with you, my friend that bought it didn't have the best of luck , but maybe if you guys all go to them they will take necessary action
toohaute2handle
The best way to spread the word is to lost a detailed picture and side to side. I started doing that woth herve legers.
britanielyn
@misfitkitten hey doll!!! Is this Barcelona dress for sale??? Or are you just letting people know that their are a lot of scammers out there???? (Which I appreciate so so so so SO much) :) :) :)
misfitkitten
@britanielyn not selling just a warning to buyers
britanielyn
@misfitkitten ohh shucks!!! Lol I was excited there for a minute!!! Lol
tayschiff
This is absolutely horrible! I'm so sorry you got scammed. All new For Love and Lemons have their brand on the care label, that one posher that someone tagged above is ripping so many people off with these fakes 😒
lady_daydream
I seriously hope Posh starts doing something about this. I'm so tired of seeing all these "dupes" being sold for 10xs the price these sellers bought on websites like aliexpress. Same goes for all the Avalon bodysuit knockoffs. I cannot believe how many poshers support designer knockoffs and how many sellers are profiting from intellectual theft.
lady_daydream
(Sorry, I ran out of characters) I almost bought the Geneva dress somewhere else but I thought it was suspicious the seller removed the care label. If something sounds suspicious on the listing, it's because it is. Question EVERYTHING
kzehnd1
@misfitkitten UPDATE!!! Posh refunded me in full! It took a butt load of effort, organizing information from the sale and correspondence afterwards and a couple weeks of discussing the issue before they offered to examine the item personally. But they were so quick to accept my claim once I sent it in!! So happy and such a good precedent set by Poshmark! SCAMMING DOESN'T PAY!!
misfitkitten
@lady_daydream I almost bought the geneva too I want it so bad but it's not worth it cause these sellers are exploiting us. I rather just wait for their next sample sale. and buying from them will only perpetuate it 😩
misfitkitten
@kzehnd1 wow! you're one of the lucky ones. I'm happy to hear you were able to work it out hopefully they'll recognize the pattern and ban the sellers participating in this !
lady_daydream
I'm sure someone on here or a website will discount it for cyber Monday or something. I learned my lesson after buying 2 of their dresses during the 30% off & then they had them on sale for like $60 for their last sale. That really pissed me off haha
misfitkitten
@lady_daydream dude that sucks ;( that doesn't usually happen. their sales this year have been REALLY good, I think they just ordered too much this year and were trying to dig out of the hole. I never pay full price hehe I always wait for their sample sales or another posher :)
lady_daydream
Haha I don't pay full price for anything either. I mean I still saved money but I was like wtf they have it for half what I paid now 😓 they had a lot of sales this year though, I think it's because they've gotten so much exposure & really popular. I won't be buying anything for a while though hahaha
boheme_darling
@misfitkitten Thanks so much for the heads up! 👍💜 ....Sound familiar? @iamgeni @jolenehawaii
boheme_darling
@sandiegolady @paperstarz heads up on fakes! Check out this posting.
sandiegolady
This happened to me too. I bought around $700 worth of FL&L off of e bay from a seller named wan_marin. At first I thought the Geneva dresses were just ill fitting. I got another orchid dress and realized it was fake. I opened a case with 🅿️🅿️and e bay and got all my money back. Unfortunately I had to spend $40 to send it back to Canada 😡thanks for warning people. FL&L is made in China and its likely people are using the same fabric and just replicating the design (poorly).
sandiegolady
@boheme_darling meant to tag you in my comment above. Soooo many fakes on eBay right now 😩
jolenehawaii
@boheme_darling actually happen to me AGAIN on a expensive FP maxi dress. I promptly returned it!
boheme_darling
@sandiegolady holy sh*i, Kristen! That's so horrible! I'm so glad you got your money back, but that sucks you had to pay those shipping fees. I've actually seen some of that person's fake FL&L on eBay and thought that cheap? How? But only bc bought a Spell knockoff earlier this year. Same happened to a few gals and we were able to return. That seller was really sweet. I don't think she realized whoever was selling to her were selling her fakes!
boheme_darling
@jolenehawaii Wow! I'm so glad you were able to return! How were you able to tell it was fake? Wondering what to watch out for.
jolenehawaii
@boheme_darling I only knew when I got it. It was the wrong fabric. Wrong cut. No tags at all
sandiegolady
@jolenehawaii did you get the dress on here?!
sandiegolady
@boheme_darling the seller was very nice too. They responded and said they get the dresses from many different wholesale/distributors (red flag) and had no idea they were fake. The seller only offered to accept one return (not acceptable) so I had to open up cases for each transaction. Siiiiiigh. I was so stoked I was going to own the whole new collection for $700 hahahah 😂 Oh well, I did use the $100 off FL&L coupons to get two Sienna kimonos and a Dusty Rose Maxi with a coupon from Revolve 👍
jolenehawaii
@sandiegolady yes. Not this dress in pic. Another dress
sabrinatruong
Hi! If it's authentic, will the fl&l logo be on the fabric tag? Sorry if I'm bothering 😅 just trying to differentiate fakes from the real thing!
misfitkitten
@sabrinatruong if by fabric label you also mean the wash(/care) label , then correct the FL&L logo should be on it if it's an item from a 2013 collection to present
sabrinatruong
Ooh okay! Thanks so much! I really appreciate the help 💕
misfitkitten
@sandiegolady @boheme_darling holy moly $700 😫 I'm glad you were able to get your money back at least. my advice for eBay is to check the seller's completed / sold listings (the hidden cause they're in the past) if they have more than one of the same item in different sizes you should raise an eyebrow, these brands don't do wholesale for eBay accounts. what I've gathered is that a lot of these sellers are selling extras being made by the manufacturer with the left over fabric.
misfitkitten
@sandiegolady @boheme_darling they do not go through the same procedures as items ordered by the brand / quality control (hence the incorrect/missing care labels etc) so you're getting the authentic fabric but the trimmings and labels will mismatch
tayc0x
Hey! I love looking for good FLL deals on here and eBay! Do you know which items are most commonly knocked off? Not sure if that's a dumb question you just seem to know a lot
misfitkitten
@tayc0x definitively the Barcelona print dresses, the geneva dress, Sicily , Sahara mini, ole skirt/ top, birds of paradise & orchid (the last three not as much since the new collections dropped)
my advice is to look at the sellers other items for sale (on eBay also check their sold items) if
there's more than one size of an item that should be a red flag
misfitkitten
@tayc0x oh and there's a few sellers that keep selling the she's a knockout dress brand new in the plastic which to me is suspicious cause the black sold out a while ago
hope that helped 😽
tayc0x
That did!!!! Thank you!!!!
toohaute2handle
@misfitkitten the fake ones have the logos too now. :/ So after I messaged u up above before. A previous seller of mine contacted me... accusing me of talking bad about her .. because of what I wrote up there on your listing. I had no idea ... what she was talking about but she kept insisting that this listing was about her. Lol. I guess she sounded so... crazy , I realized she was probably selling fakes altogether. She had a pic of the logo. And it looked wrong already.
blueberrie
@bassbunny
bassbunny
So I think I ran into a fake one 😣. All of my other fl&l real ones I have noticed have more of a stiff but soft to the touch brand tag. You guys are correct when you say the care label has antlers on it. Also, I have a sample sale original where the logo label looks like it's cut a little crooked at the top, and it has a "care label" with no antlers. I know it's an original for a fact, just was a sample. The fake one has a stiff brand tag and no care label.
misfitkitten
@toohaute2handle it's honestly hard to say now that I've made these posts warning buyers. there's some sellers that still sell the manufacturer's extras without care label, but now there are some that do because of my posts. my advice is to avoid eBay/ pushers that are selling multiple FL&L pieces in different sizes. this brand only does wholesale to legitimate companies not eBay/ posh sellers @bassbunny 😓 hopefully you can return it?
bassbunny
Hope so. I emailed posh with a bunch of pictures. I let another girl know who had bought the same dress from her (she sold 3 of the same in xs/s) that it was possibly fake and this girl let me know that she had returned it to the seller because it was fake. Sigh. We shall see because it's been past the 3 days but I never rated her.
mskeeks
I just purchased a dress straight from FLL during their sale and noticed that the actual silk dress did not have a content label. The content label for the dress + nude slip is both on the slip's content label stating that the the "self is 100% silk + lining is 100% polyester." Not sure if this is what they will be doing with two pieces from now on but just something I noticed with a piece I purchased from their holiday collection.
toohaute2handle
@misfitkitten pretty much. I just ended up buying a few from reputable sites like dollskill revolve and freepeople. Really sucks .. 😕😕😕
blueberrie
@cleoyeh
g0t_nancy
Thank you for this post!! Do you happen to know if those Barcelona dresses selling in Ebay from woaizz1nz and minimin2008 are real? Fabric, quality and tags are all on point. Only thing is that the print doesn't seem to be centered and in the right place. And the fact that they are selling by the bulk load!
misfitkitten
@g0t_nancy I would not trust them, there's another seller I think it's hannahtheflyingcat . the seller in Canada, New York , and Santa clatita/Santa Ana ( I forgot but it's in California) I would buy with caution from them
paigemcknight
For Florida? @trendingmom
sewingstilettos
@misfitkitten hannahflyingcat has a posh too I commented about authenticity and she blocked me and resisted the dress. I reported her but I think her items are still there :(
sewingstilettos
So I've been comparing a lot of these since I've noticed so many selling for cheap on eBay that look good and have the love and lemons logo on the tag but seemed sketchy and I realized that none of the care labels on those ones match the actual content of the dress!!
sewingstilettos
the care label should say 50% polyester, 50% rayon;
Lining: 90% polyester, 10% spandex. as stated on the zappos site and as I've seen before, but a lot of them - in the gold or cream color are being sold for cheap and have the wrong content label stitched in-if it says 40% on it its likely fake. So weird because they all pretty much look the same but I'm guessing quality and fit is off too.
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart saw you were going to purchase one that had this issue^^ :/
hannastuart
@sewingstilettos so funny you pointed that out. I realized it as well. So awful, I don't support knock offs at all! And people are becoming even more sneaky. Which one was it that I was going to purchase ?? The mini Barcelona??
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart yes I was looking at that one too! :( I brought it up to another seller same issue and she got so rude. It's such a bummer i hope love and lemons gets a patent on their fabric in the future or something
hannastuart
@sewingstilettos i think I'm pretty much done with for love and lemons on posh, which is such a bummer. @misfitkitten I've also noticed the temecula mini being knocked off! A few sold that were lined up top and theirs is NOT lines in the bust! @cleoyeh I think you purchased the blue temecula mini that had this issue ^^
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart omg you are so right that one is not lined in the bust!
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart that dress is lined in the front on some sites though? Is it possible only the one on love and lemons site was unlined?
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart on threadscence and lunab and free people it's lined
hannastuart
@sewingstilettos oh I guess so! Ahhh it's hard to keep track of now 😫 so @cleoyeh yours is probably fine! I'm super sketched out now. I just purchased mine unlined from a girl through 🅿️🅿️ on here, but it ALSO says she sold it on depop ( same exact dress and photos) I'm praying I don't get scammed.
sewingstilettos
@hannastuart weird...maybe she bought it for a good price and is reselling or something? You should be able to tell in person if the print is off somethings up
misfitkitten
@sewingstilettos @hannastuart yeah there's a few sellers on eBay and posh you can't trust
I've made all these posts about how to identify a knock off and they've been making the changes to make it pass off as real
my advice for buying on any app is to check what other items they're selling if they sell the same item in multiple sizes , I wouldn't buy (on eBay check their sold listings too)
misfitkitten
@sewingstilettos @hannastuart Hannaflyingcat. dressyoulove. waoizz1wn . miss*azzy . alijohanna. tawe-potc .
don't buy from them , that's just a few of them but there's more of these scammers popping up I can't keep up anymore 😩
sewingstilettos
It sucks because other people buy from them and then resell what they bought and they get so offended when I ask them questions on authenticity. So many people getting duped :(
misfitkitten
@sewingstilettos also true, I feel like some do know that's why they're trying to resell but they should report and demand refund instead of cycling them to someone else 😐
sewingstilettos
So crazy because it's actually illegal to sell a fake! Hopefully love and lemons finds a way to crack down on this somehow
vaultofstyle
AGREED!!!
sandracova1
Can u give the @ usernames just to beware please?
misfitkitten
@sandracova1 see my comment 😊 those I know off the bat
there could be more
andreaw30
@sewingstilettos @misfitkitten hi I just purchased a Barcelona mini from Hannahflyingcat and I was wondering if you think she is a scammer? Her clothes seem authentic but now I'm not sure! Please let me know what you think
misfitkitten
@andreaw30 hello! yes hannahflyingcat is one of the sellers with knock off FL&L ☹
try and dispute if you can !
andreaw30
@misfitkitten uhh no:( thanks for responding I can't believe she is getting away with that
sewingstilettos
@andreaw30 she sells fake love and lemons I tried to report her and she blocked me
andreaw30
@sewingstilettos wow that makes me so mad:(
victoriahoang
Omg I almost bought from hannahflyingcat through 🅿️🅿️!! Thank you so much for this! Her stuff looked so real though 😭
misfitkitten
@victoriahoang ever since I've made these posts the sellers have been taking a few actions to make their items pass as more authentic , it's much harder now to distinguish 😞
marsle85
I just purchased the lyla cocktail dress in silver from melly2191. The quality is disappointing, there is NO care label and no size marker on the top of the dress. How do I authenticate?!
misfitkitten
@marsle85 dispute it with postmark. there's a lot of people that have been sold fake for love & lemons here so it's not like you're making this up
mention that the care label is not present, if you're able to compare to one in store and the pattern/ quality is mismatched (with photos too)
& you believe someone sewed on the brand logo to a cheap knock off
good luck 😓
zianelle
Can you give me a couple of measurements on this? In particular the section of cream lace(?) from the shoulder to the bust line in the V area? and the section of the cream lace(?) from the center of the under bust to the bottom of the dress? I'm trying to see if my boobies will pull it up in the front. The top was awesome after I took my bra off! haha
I really appreciate it. Thanks xx
misfitkitten
@zianelle sorry for the confusion, I don't own this dress. my friend bought a knock off on here and this post is just to warn fellow members on how to identify a knock off
if you need measurements I can ask a friend though, I think she still has this dress
zianelle
Oh hahaha No worries. I wondered that even as I was asking! Are there any sellers that you trust more? How about Miss_Romona or something like this..???
misfitkitten
@zianelle I try and give everyone benefit of the doubt, but there are a few sellers (see my other post ) that are known to sell knock offs, there's a few more too , I'll update it tomorrow.
I'm not sure who the seller you mentioned is and couldn't get any user when I searched on posh, are they an eBay seller ?
rock_rollkitten
@misfitkitten So glad you are doing this. SO many people are so unaware. I seriously just got ripped off like, 5 minutes ago on ebay. Luckily I know what to look for and I'm canceling my order right now. Ugh! So sick of scammers!!!
kennedymoreno
Do you know if kinishop is a reliable posher?
misfitkitten
@kennedymoreno they're good in my book, never heard or seen anything suspicious
kennedymoreno
Should the patterns on every dress be the same or do they vary?
kennedymoreno
Like where they are located or whatnot if that makes sense?
misfitkitten
@kennedymoreno there will be slight variations like the top of the dress above that wide trim that goes along the whole dress horizontally should be almost identicall front and back
but I've noticed the bottom half where it flows out there's been some small variations
kennedymoreno
Could you possibly take a look at the posters dress I asked you about earlier and see if the pattern variations are normal or not? She also posted a picture of just the back of the dress also.
misfitkitten
@kennedymoreno don't buy it, she probably bought it from one of the sellers that was selling knock offs and is trying to get her money back
kennedymoreno
Okay thank you for your help!!
katching28
@laur_bazouca
lovesjewelry
Thanks for all the info here. There is a seller on Poshmark selling several FL&L dresses at close to the full regular selling prices. But she won't post any pictures of the tag or care label, so I'm staying clear of her because I don't want to risk the $$. I can purchase the same FL&L dress from Free People directly for $1 more than what she is charging and I will know it's 100% authentic,
aminahxo
Hey, I purchased an orchid dress, the stitching looks impeccable, no loose threads or flaws. Form fitting but comfortable. It doesn't have tags, I was told that it was a sample/prototype. The orchids feel soft and are stitched well. But the slip included doesn't have the underwire stitched design, it's plain. The slip is made from a high quality stretchy silky material and is the same cut, but it's making me question if it's authentic. No other FL&L listings but good reviews. Whats your opinion?
misfitkitten
@aminahxo hmm it's completely possible they did get it from a sample sale, I bought the orchid from the sale but didn't have slip with it
my friend bought same one but since slip is supposed to be included she just grabbed one that she randomly found
was it through posh/ would you be able to tag me on the listing ?
aminahxo
Wow thank you for getting back to me so quickly! When I questioned if it was from the sample sale, she said that her friend actually works at FL&L and that she had gotten it directly from the company as a prototype. I actually purchased it from dep0p but I can take pictures of it and list it, I'll tag you in them. I would appreciate it greatly! Thank you for your time :) I'm really surprised I couldn't find any articles or forums about knock offs!
cursed
Hi babe can you check out the Sierra Maxi I have listed? @blueberrie let me know it's not authentic but I don't understand bc I bought it directly from Nordstrom. Returning shouldn't be an issue but if it's fake then I'm gonna be pissed....
misfitkitten
@cursed she's correct
both the size shouldn't be attached where the care label is
and the black removable tag is attached incorrectly as well, it's completely possible someone bought a fake one off eBay and a real one from Nordstrom and switched the two :(
cursed
Oh my god..... I'm seriously angry and don't understand how people can continue to be shady like that. Thank you SO much for this and thank you @blueberrie for letting me know 😞
misfitkitten
@cursed it's unfortunate but the amount of greedy people out there is disgusting :(
cursed
Do you mind checking out the Marina Maxi I have listed as well? I bought it from a boutique in Denver called Meraki Moon and they sell predominantly FL&L and OneTeaspoon
blueberrie
@cursed - someone might have returned a fake to nordstrom and thats how you got it...otherwise no idea. It is definitely fake, there's a little group of girls who have been putting up tons of sierras mini and maxi, and trying to hide with filters how the black tag is not correctly attached as it should be, that's the main indicator.
blueberrie
There's a user feelingpoh who is the newest of the bunch to post the fakes everywhere. From what I gather its 'itstwomunchkins' people are doing this because they have the same exact brands out there and the same items they keep faking. (FLL self portrait, zimmermann)
cursed
@blueberrie you have no idea how grateful I am to you for pointing that out. I'm now weary of buying from large department stores and have been purchasing exclusively from boutiques like Revolve Clothing and Shop Dash. Gonna make sure in all of my buying and selling to take note of the care and brand labels. Do you know which users on posh are selling the fakes???
blueberrie
@taylorclark711
blueberrie
@cursed on top of my head hannahtheflyingcat or whats her name on here, she widely sells them not sure how she is still not blocked and right now the newest one is feelingpoh, just watch out for all signs @misfitkitten pointed out and it will be easy to tell! if you have any doubts rather be safe than sorry!
cursed
@blueberrie ok I really hope you and @misfitkitten don't mind if I tag you in items in the future to verify authenticity!! I'm so paranoid now 😓
blueberrie
@cursed of course!!
misfitkitten
@cursed yeah I agree with @blueberrie 100% I think people are buying the knock offs and they realize they've been duped and buying from other stores and switching the two. there was a girl literally the next day that was selling a knock off Sierra mini but she had no idea and she bought it from zappos, it's sucks cause now we have to be even MORE cautious
and you can always tag me for help 😊
camille_jd
Hi! I am glad to have seen this post. I'm wanting to buy this piece on poshmark that claims to be authentic- before buying, will you take a peek for me and lmk if it is fll or not? Would hate to buy a fake :(
misfitkitten
@camille_jd I'll help, tag me on the post you're looking at (:
sammiev93
Hi I have the Barcelona set in gold and the Barcelona mini dress in cranberry do you know what the inside label tag should say in order to verify authenticity?? Would really appreciate your help!
beauxarts107
Hi girl, just happened to see your comment on that boho crop top that belonged to that Megan girl and just wanted to let you know that top is from forever21 and is only $23 on there. Just didn't want you to get ripped off. :)
misfitkitten
@beauxarts107 thank you💕 , I just saw the post about her top being from forever 21, so ridiculous 😳
beauxarts107
I know! Some people have the nerve..
jennarzx
What about janeaustengirl Barcelona Dress??@blueberrie ?
blueberrie
@jennarzx she only posted stock photos so it's impossible to know without actual photos
jennarzx
@blueberrie good point...thx 💙
jennarzx
Oiuoiusiel...@blueberrie .. One more. Why would she be selling this item and bought it in red if she knew she didn't like the color?? Why didn't she return the romper right away if she didn't like it or buy it even for that matter??
jennarzx
Ouiouisiel @blueberrie ... Sorry, hard username to memorize
blueberrie
@jennarzx as far as I know she sells authentic FP. She works for Free People so I guess she picks up items with her discount to resell.
blueberrie
@jennarzx authentic FLL*
jennarzx
@blueberrie thanks !!! 😘😘😘😘
jennarzx
@blueberrie look now! She posted pic of the actual dress... Thx so much lovie!!!!!
blueberrie
@jennarzx it looks like someone pointed out that it has wrong material content so I would stay off to be safe
jennarzx
@blueberrie just saw that... and good call. Thanks so much... This post/thread is awesome. Appreciate all the help!
pbandjan
hi! do you own the juliet mini? i bought one on sale at Nieman Marcus but it was missing a hang tag so now I'm freaked out. The care tag is diff from the barcelona mini (which it very well might be since they are different collections) but it made me wonder. Tagging @blueberrie as well just in case you might have one too! If you ladies do- can you make a quick post of the care label so i can compare? I really appreciate it!
blueberrie
@pbandjan yeah I do have it from Planet blue, if you want i can email you pictures when im back from work
misfitkitten
@pbandjan I'm so sorry I don't, I have found the care label to be pretty consistent ever since they started putting the antlers on it in like 2013
as you said it's completely possible it's changed, but I wouldn't know I haven't purchased anything from spring or summer 2016 yet 😓
I'll see if I can find a store that sells fll nearby and get a photo if I can
pbandjan
@blueberrie thank you so much! they're getting harder to come by so I really don't want to return if i don't have to. I'll tag you on my page where you can find my email. @misfitkitten thank you for being so helpful as well! I like to think I'm pretty good at spotting inconsistencies with fl&l but it's getting so difficult now.
misfitkitten
@pbandjan I know what you mean, I haven't been buying as much off apps and it's scary to buy from trusted retailers because people that bought a knock off will switch the purchased authentic and return the fake one :(
pbandjan
😖
lysstyts
hey can you look at my valeria dress, i bought it from another posher, the dress is from 2012
beauxarts107
@argugu2002 you can read all the comments above in this listing :) I actually bought one from someone on here before I got mine from Free People and it ended up being fake. The quality is different in person, care tags weren't the same, and fit was not as flattering.
argugu2002
@beauxarts107 OMG, I didn't know so many fakes on posh. Thank you so much.
hannahbanana126
Hi, do you think the Barcelona maxi dress by viv_young is authentic?
misfitkitten
@hannahbanana126 that's hard to answer she doesn't have a lot of photos :/
hannahbanana126
@misfitkitten Would you mind if I send you some pics to verify if I receive the item? :)
misfitkitten
@hannahbanana126 send me photos once you get and I'll help verify :)
oliviaedendyck
hi there!! i just purchased the Barcelona set from a posher and im super excited to get it in the mail. im pretty sure it's legit but i wanted to know if i could send u pics when i receive it and if you could please help me determine its authenticity! :) thank you so much in advance!!
oliviaedendyck
i also really want to buy the red niccola dress; i was thinking of buying it from another posher but she doesn't want to sell it anymore so i found it on ebay in my size. however they don't have any pictures of the actual item, just the model pictures. would you advise against buying off there? how do you know if it's fake or not on eBay? thank you again!! ❤️
misfitkitten
@oliviaedendyck whose the seller on eBay I buy off there all the time but there's some sellers that sell knocks offs
And yes I'll help you authenticate your Barcelona set once you get it

hi!! thank you so much for your response!! 😊 the seller is "susanmi45" who is selling the XS dress. there's also another seller named "cameron962012" who is selling multiples so i didn't think a seller with multiples was a legit seller. im kinda new to this! hahah but thank you so much for your help!! ❤️
misfitkitten
@oliviaedendyck the susan I believe is legit, the other one not so much. I never trust any seller eBay or posh that sells multiple sizes of fl&l. That's not a legit source for a trusted retailer

@misfitkitten do you know what the main difference would be on a juliette dress? I see only a couple of size small in jade on here. But they dont have stock photos and claim the dresses are in bags. :/
misfitkitten
@toohaute2handle the care label placement , a lot of ones on eBay have them located incorrectly

Mine was good to go :)

So I purchased a flower bomb maxi a while ago from a user that doesn't have an account anymore but she sold a lot of FL&L. I'm panicking a little bit now because I'm not sure if it's authentic! @misfitkitten @pbandjan (and I don't know any other FL&L fiends to tag lol)
kimberkw
It's the only FL&L item I have that I did not purchase myself from FL&L directly. When I compare the logo tags, the font on the flower bomb maxi looks thinner and more scraggly. It also doesn't have a care tag...any opinion on this one ladies? I don't know when the flower bomb series came out, so I'm not sure if this could be an earlier tag/design?? @pbandjan @misfitkitten
misfitkitten
@kimberkw I haven't really seen flower bomb maxis replicas floating around, but I have for the mini dress version. The problem with most of the sheer dresses (orchid, elenora, flower bomb are a few) anything that comes with a separate slip dress, I've noticed don't have the care label on the main piece. I wish I could be more help with authenticating it. I haven't had the opportunity to get that one yet it sold out and sellers demand too much 😓
pbandjan
@kimberkw @kimberkw i agree with the placement of the care label on the pieces with bodysuits sewn in. It's tricky. I don't own the maxi but I have the Mini in both colors and the size label is below the regular fl&l tag. I believe I saw that yours is next to the label? I'm not totally sure and I don't want to say I know it's a dupe though. Was it a trusted seller on posh? Sorry 😐
kimberkw
@pbandjan @misfitkitten ahhhh....my heart. I want to believe it's the real thing because I believe she was a trusted seller because she had so many FL&L items and had precious positive transactions? It was snehalp?
pbandjan
@kimberkw wasn't there a huge drama over someone accusing her of selling items from aliexpress? I've never felt with her so I have no idea if it's the real deal
pbandjan

kimberkw
@pbandjan OMG REALLY?!?!? I did not know this at all!!! Was it like multiple people??? 😧😰😧😰
pbandjan
@kimberkw I'm really not sure I just remember seeing that someone made a listing about it. There are two side to every story though...either way I'm sorry you're going through this. @misfitkitten sorry for blowing up your feed 😅
kimberkw
@pbandjan Ugh. I hope I get to the bottom of it :/ and yes, @misfitkitten sorry for blowing up your feed! Thank you BOTH for your input/expertise! 💕
misfitkitten
@kimberkw @pbandjan lol all good I have notifications turned off for this, all everything she said is news to me I really haven't been as active on here or other apps so I'm afraid I'm not as useful :/

@misfitkitten hey girl! I found this post when I googled how to spot fake for love and lemons. I was wondering if you could give me some input.. I purchased the garden isle dress in red of eBay, it was the sellers only FLL item I think. The dress came today and there was no size tag saying "s" next to the FLL name label.. also there was no white care label at all. Could this be fake?? Is it true their samples/extras may not have these? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
misfitkitten
@carolluo I looked into your eBay purchase via recently sold listings. I don't believe the item is fake. There are samples circulating that can have the size tag missing or care label missing, rare but it happens.
I've noticed for dresses that are mostly lace or mesh (orchid, elanora, Juliet maxi, lotus etc) that come with a slip or bodysuit insert like your dress the care label is missing from the outer most layer
misfitkitten
@carolluo Juliet Maxi, for example, has a bodysuit so the care label is located on the bodysuit not the silk burnout
It's possible she may have removed it because it was bugging her
The same goes for size tag or because it's a sample
I also I think it's authentic b/f she does carry more fll but they're not all of the same item, if a seller sells bulk of the same item that's a red flag.
Plus her fll go back to their 2012 collections & the fake fll started circulating about 2015
Hope that helps🌹
sdcloset23
@misfitkitten thank you so much for looking this up for me!! She said she bought the dress from a consignment store in LA, but considering that the FLL factory is in LA, it wouldn't be impossible that a sample would end up there. Only other thing though is that the original dress came with extra straps but this dress doesn't even have the hooks for the dress sewn onto it
misfitkitten
@carolluo oh no :/
You have a lot of information to support your case and ask for a refund. I'm not too familiar with that dress but if all those pieces are missing, I would try to return it
chloe42_
@misfitkitten hi I was just wondering if the current collection has the antlers on the care label. I was looking at the Chiquita dress in particular. Thanks!
misfitkitten
@chloe42_ most of the stuff I own is from 2016 or older I do have the Chiquita fortunately and there isn't antlers on the care label. Sorry for the delay with the response
misfitkitten
@chloe42_ normally there is though, they've been playing with the logo and tags for their new stuff I've noticed
anggg_
@misfitkitten just want to put out that your amazing this post helped a lot, have been looking at buying the Barcelona 💕💕
jessa1155
@misfitkitten do you know if they always use the black cords on new items? I bought the gold Barcelona set, there's no question that it's authentic… The tags are real. It matches my other Barcelona set exactly, except for the tag attachment. It's just a plain plastic tag attachment instead of the long black cord with the square antler section in the middle of the string.
jessa1155
@anggg_ I have the blue, and just purchased the old gold set...they match up identically, the care label, everything. It's just weird that the tag attachments don't match.
jessa1155
@anggg_ it has no signs of wear, it looks brand-new. But still, the fact that my blue top has the black cord and that the pink set does not makes me wonder why... I put the set up for sale because the colors didn't look good on me.
jessa1155
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated! I own a few of these pieces, but I am far from being an expert!
misfitkitten
@jessa1155 where did you buy them?
It's terrible because people buy fakes online and will buy authentic from reputable retailers , i.e. Nordstrom, and return the fake to Nordstrom
So it's sketchy to buy them anywhere
This doesn't happen a lot but I've seen it a few time
I added a photo
misfitkitten
@jessa1155 those are the labels for for love & lemons (oldest right to newest on the left)
the oldest were attached with black safety pins usually on the left side of the garment under the arm
If the tags don't look any of the above (as you said a plastic replacing the black cord) I would be alarmed
jessa1155
I was shocked but I sent photos to For Love and Lemons and they say 100% authentic. The seller had 3 other similar tag examples too. But the black cords are prettier! She even sent me the receipt. N. Marcus maybe? Don't recall.
jessa1155
Is the black tag your red flag or the plastic attachment?? Are the logos on the black tags different??? I can't spot it?:(
chrinealine
I’m glad I found this post. I just had a terrible experience recently. I purchased a dress on here, assuming it was authentic, then reposhing and having a huge ordeal of it. Makes me sick to my stomach. Now I will only purchase from them online. Thanks for this post
misfitkitten
@chrinealine I’m sorry to hear that, it’s happen to the best of us. It’s not just FLL it’s all brands sadly 😪
My advice just be very thorough and ask for receipts and feel free to ask others around for verification
Shady people are everywhere 😕
boyersjo
@misfitkitten hey lady, thank you for getting the word out. I’m curious about a luau crop top, but unsure how to verify authenticity. Do you mind if I tag you in the post & get your opinion on it? Much appreciated 💘💕
misfitkitten
@boyersjo I can help you. I sold mine but if you check my Dep0p account I have my pics of the Luau top there and I can look at what you send me
boyersjo
@misfitkitten I checked your account out & they look super similar. Hers just came tied in the back and idk how legit that is, I’ll tag you. Thank you so much for your help you’re the best!
misfitkitten
@boyersjo she might’ve got hers at the sample sale
I bought a red one at their sample sale and I️t had the tie in the back (I sold on mer.cari)
It’s definitely not common but I️t looks pretty authentic to me :)
boyersjo
@misfitkitten oooh thank you. The stitching aligns with yours so well! Do you by any chance know if tying it stretches the fabric? I would like to wear it untied so I’m hesitant to buy
misfitkitten
@boyersjo the self doesn’t have spandex so i wouldn’t worry about stretching but it is net fabric so it’ll be crinkled / not lay flat if untied 😶
I personally don’t recommend
boyersjo
@misfitkitten shoot okay good to know, thanks for the help!! 💕💘💐💓
misfitkitten
@cristalp hey there, I can help you! Would you tag me in a post with some photos of the garment/ tags/ labels/ care label. Any or all of these would help a bunch 🙂
bonbonpuff
Hey girls I need your help, I bought the FLL Amelia midi dress on poshmark and it came without a brand label or a care label, zero labels anywhere on the dress no indication of size other than what the seller said was the size. The inside slip was not the usual silky material and the perfect stitching. It was a flimsy material and the seams were very poor with loose threads.
bonbonpuff
Not sure if it's a fake or purchased from a sample sale? The seller did not mention that it was from a sample sale, and had said it was in perfect condition, but the dress had snags everywhere. I'm trying to return this dress on poshmark, but would also like a second opinion on the authenticity of this dress!
misfitkitten
@bonbonpuff hey babe, I’m sorry I’m probably not the best person for the Amelia
The only dress I had for the Amelia was a sample 🤧
I would just bring the condition / question of authenticity up to posh in the return request
I was able to return one
Just do a side by side shot with another FLL piece showing what tags look like/ should be placed
bonbonpuff
@misfitkitten yes I did that, poshmark let me return it thank goodness! I own the off shoulder Amelia and even the color of the embroidery was not the same. It was a very good copy but I could tell something was off by the fit and how stiff the fabric was!
misfitkitten
@bonbonpuff that’s great to hear! 🙏🏽🌹

alexia_chili
Hi! I just received an Amelia dress and I was hoping you could help me confirm if it’s real??
misfitkitten
@alexia_chili I could try, but I should tell you I’ve never owned that dress so I can’t be too sure
alexia_chili
@misfitkitten thank you so much for your response! I’ve had a couple people reach out and say it’s good so don’t worry about it :) thank you for your willingness to help though ❤️❤️
misfitkitten
@katymg I don’t buy or sell fake items. You may be new to Poshmark but I’m not. Please don’t accuse me of selling knock offs
katymg
@misfitkitten I’m not accusing you. But you said you purchased it from someone else so maybe they sold you a fake. I’m very very familiar with this brand as one of my friends works for them and I know this isn’t how the dress was made.
brookemariep
@misfitkitten do you know if the care label and tag don’t have the antlers on it, is it fake?
misfitkitten
@brookemariep as long as it has the for love & lemons logo on it you’re good. I just bought some pieces from their anniversary sale and it appears they have removed the antlers on the care label but still says for love & lemons in that cursive font from their logo
brookemariep
@misfitkitten oh okay thanks! 😊 Yeah all my other dresses have the logo and antlers but I have two that just have the logo and no antlers on the tag and care tag, so I was afraid they were fake.
misfitkitten
@cristalp I have that one in black. I’ll double check when I get home from work.
misfitkitten
@cristalp hi! Everything checks out okay to me.
baileyscloset22
Good evening! Any chance you could authenticate a piece I just purchased? I’m new to the brand and skeptical knowing there are a lot of fakes 😅
misfitkitten
@baileyscloset22 I could try but I’m not too familiar with their newest pieces as of the last year :/
baileyscloset22
@misfitkitten thank you SO much! I just tagged you! let me know what you think!
misfitkitten
@baileyscloset22 hi! Everything checks out. Their skivvies aren’t always the best quality. So if it feels flimsy/ cheap that’s probably just how it is :/

audreym926
hi! sorry to bother you, but i just ordered a dress and wanted to ask you about the user. her @ is linda6006 . i know that i’ll be able to better authenticate once i get it and it appears to check out but i wanted your advice! i ordered a dixon dress. thank you so much💖
brittnilb84
@misfitkitten Could you please help me with a for love and lemons dress? I’ve been coming across a lot of fakes. I’ve been pretty good at figuring them out but this one I’m not sure. Its all stock photos and then it says NWT. I asked her to post pictures of the actual dress and she did but there’s no tags on the dress in the picture of it hanging up but then in a picture under it she has a close-up of a tag from free people. Would you mind helping me if I tag you in it? Thanks so much!!!
brittnilb84
@misfitkitten actually I do see the tag hanging from the dress but would you mind taking a look at it for me if I tag you thank you let me know.
broberson86
@misfitkitten thank you so much for this thread. Its the only thing I have been able to find online worth anything. Would you mind taking a look at the Barcelona Mini I have listed to see if it is authentic?
textilesntea
@audreym926 hi did your dress end up being authentic from this user? 🌻💙✌️
audreym926
@lulabelleblue hi! no it did not, the dress was a fake :( I got a refund and notified poshmark but i guess she’s still selling! do not buy from her!
textilesntea
@audreym926 thanks for confirming🌻💙✌️ something seemed off so I googled poshmark fake fll and am glad I scrolled to the bottom of the thread I found! I don't understand why they haven't shut them down!
dahliapardon

I don't wanna sell fakes. separately, I'm really tired of getting ripped off
