Spotting Counterfeit Sites

Online scams are rampant, with counterfeit sites using stolen images to lure unsuspecting customers. Be cautious if a website displays photos with suspicious alterations, such as blurred faces or pixelation. Just because a site uses authentic images doesn't guarantee the dress's authenticity. Trust Bella Boutique for genuine, quality dresses.

Authorized Retailers and Designer Websites

Visit a designer's website to identify authorized retailers. If a store is not listed, it may be part of a counterfeit operation. Avoid auction sites like eBay, Amazon, and AliExpress, as legitimate designers usually don't allow sales on these platforms. Ensure the website has a valid address and telephone number, not just an email, and be wary of numbers forwarded to foreign countries.

Price Matching and Authenticity

Bella Boutique proudly offers price matching for dresses from authorized retailers. Authentic designers maintain set prices for their collections, so be cautious of significantly lower prices on other websites. Look out for terms like "inspired by" or "imitation," as they may indicate counterfeit products. Our commitment is to provide you with genuine, quality dresses.

Protecting Against Identity Theft

Online shopping always carries a risk of identity theft. Avoid potential problems and protect yourself by choosing Bella Boutique. We prioritize your safety and ensure a secure shopping experience.

Be Wary of Unrealistic Expectations

Statistics show that 9 out of 10 gowns purchased online do not meet expectations. Counterfeit dresses often arrive in the wrong size, color, or fabric. Challenge the authenticity of your dress by checking for the designer's hangtag and garment label. If the dress lacks these, it may be a fake reproduction. Double-check the brand's spelling to ensure you're getting what you pay for.

Trust Bella Boutique to make your prom dress dreams come true – we take pride in delivering the dress of your dreams without the risks associated with online shopping scams.
