I get messages from lululemon shoppers ALL THE TIME asking me about buying fake aligns (or Lululemon items in general) and mystery boxes. Therefore I decided to make this post for anyone who is considering any of these two options in general. This is my own personal opinion. I’ve been buying/selling lululemon for the past 3-4 years now so just thought I’d offer my two cents for anyone who is looking to build their collection as well!

cmauigirl Thanks for the PSA! Is this an issue mostly with aligns or is this happening with other popular products like swiftly tops etc?

Sep 14Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @cmauigirl I focus more on aligns because that’s kinda my area of speciality when it comes to lululemon (that’s why I have very clear comparison pics between real and fake aligns). But there are fakes made in almost every lulu item!!

ekstrong They're getting so hard to tell 😭 It makes me nervous buying anything other than straight from the site.

ngocnguyen1994 @ekstrong for real I feel the same way!! :/

Sep 14Reply

ekstrong @ngocnguyen1994 Did the tags look like that before minus the black tag?🤔

Sep 14Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @ekstrong they copied the original lululemon tags (only for older items though) - the ones I labeled as fake have very obvious spelling errors/typos and uses a completely different font than an older lululemon tag!

Sep 14Reply

ekstrong @ngocnguyen1994 It's the inside dot that bugs me 😫 that's usually my go-to for figuring out if they're real.

kingcounty20220 I have bought a fake and the quality was really bad. I have a question, I have looked at the Lulu logo on two different pants and sizes and they match. I bought a friend all the right places pant size 4 and my aunt fast and free size 14. I have noticed the Lululemon logo on the pants are the same size. My question is on the fake you have pictures does it match the size of a real Lululemon logo? Also how do you tell a fake size button from a real one thanks

Sep 18Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @kingcounty20220 I’ve never bought a fake myself so I can’t be sure about the size of the logo but the logo is “skinner”! One of my friends accidentally bought a fake from posh and showed it to me but she was granted a return so I didn’t compare the logos! As for your last question about the size dot, I’m tagging you in my post so you can see!

ngocnguyen1994 @jengarcia182 look at the fake size dot - it matches exactly to that pair you tagged me in. It’s a fake.

suzgin17 Wow. I had no idea there were even fakes!! As far as mysterboxes. I made a purchase once - never again. RIP OFF!! Thanks for this post!

Oct 11Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @suzgin17 yes you’re not the only one who’ve messaged me saying that! :/ it’s a big scam going on here in posh but no one knows about it since you can’t see any reviews less than 5 stars!! :/ I hope you didn’t lose too much :/

my_boho_life Hi!! Thank you so much for sharing! Unfortunately most people are fooled.... as you are a super fan, did you see or are aware of the website lululemonleggins.us.com? It looks fake for the prices but wonder if you or anybody knows about it to be trustworthy... thank you!! 🤗

Oct 25Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @my_boho_life DEFINITELY fake! Only buy from lululemon stores or the actual lululemon online website!

Oct 25Reply

my_boho_life @ngocnguyen1994 that’s what I thought... thank you!! the brand should sue those sites, incredible they are there as authentic....

Oct 25Reply

madelynsweepe thank you for posting this!! i’ve called people out for selling fake lulu (i’m like you and know what to look for) and they claim they’ve worked at Lululemon and that they’re items aren’t fake!! so unfortunate that there are scammers out there taking advantage of uninformed or misinformed people!!

Nov 21Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @madelynsweepe yes I totally agree! Crazy!

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 - Just ragged you in a lusting....if you don’t mind. I’m not considering it (it’s clearly nit right)...I just saw it listed & it jumped out at me as all kinds of wrong...I’m not crazy, right?

Dec 02Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread a couple things wrong with that posting right off the bat. The jacket is the Down for it all jacket (I believe possibly in the color dark adobe). But the tag that’s on it (attached wrongly btw - because it should’ve been attached at the zipper of the front pocket if it was the correct tag), is for a define hooded jacket nulu in the color ICMI which is incognito camo. So obviously NOT the color of the jacket listed.

Dec 02Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread I honestly think the seller is trying to pass off a jacket that’s been used as NWT with that tag... because the jacket doesn’t match the tag. The tag placement is wrong - everything is wrong. So yes you’re right about it looking shady - you have a great eye!

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 yea... it’s totally the down for it all jacket...(I have it) figured it was the dark adobe: And, yes...I noticed the color code is for the Camo...and, of course, cardboard/hang tag placement. It’s like....so crazy to try to pass it off as a define jacket- let alone like....wrong in every way!

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 I already reported& warned the person who “liked” it. Just doubted myself for a hot second...I guess it’s so blatantly not anything it claims, it had me guess my sanity, lol. So, I came to you, haha. I was looking at define jackets & it jumped out instantly as wrong. Sad. Hope no one buys it...🥺

Dec 02Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread I totally agree with you! Very wrong! 😔😔 If she didn’t know the style of the jacket, that would be ok. But it does seem like she purposefully put a completely different tag from another lulu item (in the wrong place since lulu doesn’t place their tags there) in order to try and sell it for full price (I remember buying the same jacket for sale about a year ago). It seems like she’s purposefully misleading buyers which is not ok!

Dec 02Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread omg on a completely separate note, have you seen the new define jacket cropped?! It’s special edition and they came out in 2 colors: black and white only. I have the black one and I’m IN LOVE!! 😍😍

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 - totally totally agree. I bundled it & asked her questions, to see if maybe I could tell if she didn’t know...benefit of the doubt. However, I’m led to believe it was intentional, sadly.😞

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 yea??? It’s that great!?!? Ohh...i May just have to get it....darn, another lulu order, lol.

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 - does it fit majorly cropped? Or, just appropriately so?

Dec 02Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread you HAVE to get it omg!! It’s so stinking cute! I had my doubts about it but the moment I tried it on, I fell in love! You should go for it if you like cropped jackets - I’ve been stalking the lulu site trying to see if the white one will restock!

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 - awesome!!! That’ll give me a new jacket to throw in the mix! And, living in the desert, often a define is all I need,most days, lol. I’ll def have to get! I’ll keep my eye out for the White one to be restocked for you!😛

Dec 02Reply

buttonandthread @ngocnguyen1994 - I just love it, btw, when lulu comes out w/something that actually sends you over the MOON. When it’s something you didn’t know you NEEDED & couldn’t be more in love with. So, that’s awesome... Another “side note”.,.i just recently found the magic of rulu jogger crops. Why I never before found the magic if these, I have no idea. But, I’m glad I did, lol.😍

Dec 03Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @buttonandthread yes I know! I’ve discovered new favorites too! The cropped define jacket and the like a cloud bra (my personal fav - even more than align tanks now)!! It’s so great to find new favorite lulu pieces! 🥰🥰

Dec 03Reply

ashleyjames9075 WOW!! They are even putting fake size dots on them now.. pathetic...

Dec 29Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @ashleyjames9075 you’d be surprised at how these fakes are getting better and better! It’s crazy!

Dec 29Reply

ashleyjames9075 @ngocnguyen1994 I have been a long time lululemon lover and I don’t mean to sound insensitive but people who know and love lululemon know it’s easy to spot a fake so i really don’t feel bad when someone buys a pair of fakes because they are cheap.. most people aren’t selling brand new aligns for $30 & $40... if they never bought them before that’s different but people who know, KNOW.

Dec 29Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @ashleyjames9075 oh yeah for sure! I actually really don’t care if people buy fakes knowing it is a fake - people do that all the time and it doesn’t affect me! Lol, but it’s the sellers passing off fakes as real that gets to me. And a lot of times it’s younger teenage girls or new lulu buyers that they target. They don’t even sell for cheap - just around the same price as real but discounted. So people fall for it :/

Dec 29Reply

yepwehaveitall @ngocnguyen1994 hi!! Do you have a real vs fake post for all the right places crop or pants?!

Jan 23Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @yepwehaveitall no sorry! I don’t collect those so I don’t know much about them! But always check the size dot - I have a size dot post that will help!

Apr 04Reply

normariv65 @ngocnguyen1994 oh wow I am not sure if they are real. They may not be since I cannot identify the color.

Apr 04Reply

normariv65 @ngocnguyen1994 what is it about the font that is different is it the spacing? Or the font?

Apr 04Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @normariv65 yeah it’s the spacing and the font! You should check with your other lululemon items to see for sure - I think side by side you can see the difference better. But yes, the size dot is a fake one!

Apr 04Reply

normariv65 @ngocnguyen1994 ok I will. Omg I can’t believe it. It is such a good fake though the numbers come up as align on lulufanatics but the color was off, I’m so bummed. Thank you so much for your expertise!

Apr 04Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @normariv65 yes I know :/ they copied the usual size dot (I’m pretty sure that’s why lulu has the newer size dots now). But another way to tell is looking at the logo in the back of the leggings... is it skinnier? You can compare with another pair of aligns to check for sure! The fabric is also completely different!

reeseg225 it’s the same thing- it’s cheaper and no one would ever know lmao. why did you make a big deal out of this 😂

Apr 25Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @reeseg225 because there are people passing it off as real so they are scamming others. I’m helping people figure that out especially buying second hand on posh and other selling websites since scams happen - if you don’t think it applies to you and you want to buy fake lululemon, that’s your prerogative (like I already wrote in the post above). Doesn’t matter to me either way!

amknips Hi! I was wondering If you could help me determine if one of the pairs I just bought from posh is a fake. I didn't even know that was a thing until I ran across one of your posts and now I'm second guessing myself. they feel thicker than my other aligns... but maybe that is because they are older?

Sep 08Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @amknips hmmm take pics and tag me - especially the size dot and logo pic!

Sep 08Reply

casiwinstead User alex43us9 is attempting to sell all fake lululemon leggings. Please beware. I saw your post which helped me to recognize this. I reported them and told the seller if they want to sell fake lulus then they must advertise them just so. I doubt they will have the decency to do this unfortunately.

Sep 09Reply

amknips @ngocnguyen1994 just tagged you in the listing. thank you for helping! 🥰

Sep 09Reply

ngocnguyen1994 @amknips it’s authentic!

ngocnguyen1994 @casiwinstead omg that’s crazy! I’m glad you called them out!

Sep 29Reply

andrea_seq @ngocnguyen1994 so do the size dots have to be exactly the same in order to be authentic? Like comparing my blue tied align 25” to yours that you posted I have the same beginning sequence after the W but it’s slightly different at the end. I’ll tag you in the size dot

Jan 10Reply

martamaz Thank you for this post. Unfortunately, I just became a victim of a fake lululemon mystery box. In hopes of building my closet while saving time on sourcing, I got really excited, didn't wait for the seller to respond before I made the purchase. It made me sick once I inspected the items. I reached out to poshmark support, but like you said, I may not be able to get a refund. Thankfully the other 2 boxes I ordered were beautiful with great communication!. Have a great night! 😊

Jan 22Reply

luluninja594 Hi can you tag me in the size dot post? Also do you have a picture of lavender dew and silver lilac ?

Apr 16Reply

b_fuhr We are very good at identifying fake tags even if they look real. So if you are trying to by and return the item, we can tell. With that knowledge, employees who are familiar with the fakes can help you identify! If someone came in my store I would be happy to look at pictures and give my input. We can also read the size dots. So when it’s a random order of letters and numbers that we can’t read, we know it’s fake.

May 08Reply

b_fuhr Also, don’t buy the shoppers from people on here. Go into a store and ask for a fee bag. We are likely to give it to you as long as we are not having a bag shortage.
