The best way for you to ensure your Alémais garments are genuine is to purchase through authorised retailers or through Alemais.com.
Garments purchased through other channels carry the risk of being counterfeit, especially where the price is low. We are aware of a number of online fake (scam) sites, using our imagery to sell products, with no intention of delivering items. We are motivated to protect our clients from being scammed and unknowingly purchasing a counterfeit garment, as well as protecting the efforts of the many hands that we engage to create the magic that is Alémais.
We are grateful to our loyal clients who notify us if they see suspected counterfeit garments. Please contact customercare@alemais.com if you wish to report. Please provide as many details as you can, such as images, name and location of the seller and website address.
