Branded genuine Louboutin shoes are sold in-store and online through various luxury goods retailers such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Joseph, Browns, Matches, Cricket and Cruise and online through Net-A-Porter and The Outnet in the UK. Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Nordstrom sell genuine Louboutin in the US. Online, the Louboutin brand is under constant attack from fake and knock-off cheaply made versions, often made in China. Louboutin's own website now sells some of their products online in the US but this is the only domain with the word Louboutin in it to do so. Louboutin's main website contains a prominent note stating that any other domain name containing the word "Louboutin" is very likely to be selling counterfeit goods.
In the last few years, the company has served hundreds of DMCA notices on Google to remove many sites selling fake goods from their search results.Even after this action, thousands more sites remain online.
The company has recently set up a separate website focused on protecting their brand, and drawing attention to the problems. It details hundreds of websites selling fake goods, as well as summaries of legal action taken including raids on factories and photographs and videos of the mass destruction of counterfeit goods discovered.
