Beware of the fake l.a.m.b. items on ebay! As a l.a.m.b. lover and new collector I love ebay- I can get rare l.a.m.b. items and any l.a.m.b. item for less than retail! Ebay is my favorite place to shop! But I think a lot of people might not be aware of the fake l.a.m.b. clothes that are being sold. So I want all other lambis and l.a.m.b. lovers to know how to get authentic items! First thing to do is to go to primpqueen.com and look at all of the latest fake l.a.m.b items. They are always making new things! Here is a list of items they currently offer:

•  WDMLG Hoodie (of course!)
• 1st Season Desert Camo Cashmere Hoodie
• Banner Hoodie
• Lambstooth Cardigan
• Lamb icon tee from Fall 06
• Lambi Cami Hoodie
• Leopard Ayle Hoodie, Fall 06
• Flocked Leopard Hoodie, Fall 05
• Mama Cheetah Hoodie
• Snake Print Hoodie, Spring 06
• Snake Print Tank Spring 06
• Wisteria poem hoodie in Celadon Cashmere Spring 06
• Belted Intarsia Cardigan, Fall 07 in black
• Leopard Ayle Crew tee, Fall 06
• Wisteria Cashmere Hoodie Black and white
• WDMLG Scarf (Big font) Red and Black, White and black
• WDMLG Scarf Spring 05 (Black & white, Off-white & Black)
• WDMLG tank (of course!)
  

 Also Be aware that a lot of these items are also made of high-quality fabrics now, cashmere hoodies are actually being made of cashmere- so Don't always look purely for fabric content or things like that! This is just a list of latest items, there are so many other fake l.a.m.b. pieces on ebay. I wanted to update you on things currently being made. But Just look out for a lot of hoodies and Sweats- Rasta stripe hoodie, pants, Chain hoodie, pants, tank, L for Love Fall 05 Hoodie, Of Course 1st season logo tanks, Wallpaper tanks, tees, Global Cities Tees, Spring 07, Brown Wool Blazer Fall 04 (I have only seen this blazer from one seller), Microphone tee, Fall 06. Something I did notice lately: Bird Banner Crest Hoodies and Pants Fakes are being sold with tags (silk and paper) That are Fall 05, not Fall 06 And are being advertised as a "new 2008 style" BAD fakes! Obviously don't buy those! =) Best advise I can give - DON'T BUY A WDMLG HOODIE ON EBAY!! =) These are ALL fake sadly. I have only ever seen ONE AUTHENTIC one on ebay and it sold for close to $300 and sold 30 minutes after it was listed via BIN. And it WAS NOT Black and white. It was the olive version, which is beautiful.
Also, a few things to mention-

• Fake care labels usually have an unreadable banner, and may say Where NiN My lamb go? Or other weird things. A pair of fake pants I recently ran across said "Where did up lamb go?" which is very hard to tell unless you examine it REALLY closely
  
• Thing to look out for on hoodies- Check out the Metal drawstring ends- where the word l.a.m.b. is embossed it is darker than the surrounding metal and is never a cheap looking gold! They also never have loose ends hanging out the bottom that look kind of like tassles
  
• On items NWT I have noticed that in a lot of cases (I'm not saying all cases- NOTE: newer fake hoodies are being made with fake barcode stickers, such as the lambi cami, leopard ayle, mama cheetah, snake print, and belt intarsia cardi in black) Fake paper tags will look pretty much identical to real ones, but fake ones will not have the sticker with the barcode and item information on the back, also on fake LAMB boudoir tags, a lot of them will be attached upside down, i don't know why
  
• Just beware of sellers that are selling in bulk NWT –that is the only way they are allowed to buy from sites such as primp queen. Also if you notice a seller with a lot of l.a.m.b items and are still not sure they are fake, check out their other auctions, if they are selling a lot of abercrombie and the dereon beyonce "irreplaceable" hoodie, STAY AWAY! 99.999% of the time everything they are selling is fake because all these items are best sellers on sites such as primpqueen or tradekey! That combination of items means they are getting them all from the same place and the l.a.m.b items are also fakes
  
• Beware of Private Feedback and rude sellers- ask for additional pics if you need better proof. Sellers of authentic items would obviously not have a problem with this.
  
• Do not buy from sellers in China.
  
• L.a.m.b. does not sell wholesale. And if you own la.m.b. pieces already, you know that they are impeccable and highly detailed, never cheap looking!
  
• Silk tags are also a way of determining authenticity, they should not be too shiny or stiff, also LAMB Boudoir tags should not be dark, almost a brownish color- they should be much lighter, Fall 05 tags the word LAMB is usually much lighter on the fakes-it should be more black than transparent.
  
• Certain things like fake tees sweats and cotton hoodies will actually feel very cheap when held, lightweight fabric, plastic zippers etc., Trust your instinct, if you receive an item that feels cheap, it probably is! L.a.m.b is high-priced and not because it is cheaply made!
  
• L.A.M.B plastic bags does NOT mean it is authentic! I have seen a lot of fake items come with plastic bags
  

HERE ARE SOME PICS!

**But Just beware because the pictures I looked at on primp queen of new items they look to be so much better made then the fakes I’m used to seeing! The pictures would easily fool a lot of people in an online auction. I hope this Helps fellow L.A.M.B, Gwen lovers! Good luck shopping!! =) I will make a follow up guide later with more pictures! **ALSO Good news- if you love l.a.m.b. and like to collect older, rarer items like me, you can find so many great pics and info on past collections just go to nodoubtweb.com/lamb/lambspring04.htm You can edit season by just changing out spring 04 for spring 05 or something like that in your address bar (I think these are old pages that might have been deleted, but you can still pull them up from the address bar, there aren't links to these pages within the site!)- it shows you pictures of all items made that season from many different views and also information like fabric content, sizes, colors and original price!! Shop Smart- Check out these Pics!!-THIS ONLY COVERS FALL/SPRING04 AND SPRING 05

~~~PLEASE give me your honest feedback and vote if this guide was helpful or not- I want to provide good information!! Thank you!!-
*Also if you have any questions you can send me a message. I can also help you on where to buy and where not to buy, especially if you are new to ebay or a new l.a.m.b collector! =) (myworld.ebay.com/bree_misscupcake)
