Checked online shops for fashion and apparel

Fashion is the category with the most fake shops of all, and there are solid reasons for that: a clothing range can be assembled from other people's product photos within hours, the baskets are small enough that many of those affected shy away from the effort of filing a report, and the seasonal rhythm supplies a constant stream of pretexts for alleged closing-down sales. Typical patterns are the closing-down sale of a supposedly failing long-established store, branded goods at a fraction of the usual price, product images taken from well-known retailers, and a company name in the legal notice that belongs to no traceable company. Those who order receive either nothing, or counterfeits with wrong sizes, poor fabrics and a return address whose postage exceeds the value of the goods. The shops listed here have been checked automatically against technical and formal characteristics, not for fit or material quality. Before ordering, pay attention to three points in particular: a complete legal notice naming a company that can be found in the commercial register; a payment method with buyer protection instead of pure advance payment; and a return address inside the EU. A discount of seventy per cent or more on current branded goods is practically impossible in regular retail. Also check whether the size chart and the material details actually match the advertised item.
