BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT GIVENCHY PRODUCTS
As a leading luxury brand, Givenchy faces the issue of counterfeiting every day.
When a customer purchases a Givenchy product, they expect excellence in its craftmanship and quality that lasts. Conversely, counterfeit replicas are most often made with inferior materials, with a demonstrable lack of know-how and artisanship, resulting in a product that does not stand the test of time.
Counterfeit products infringe on our designers’ creativity and misappropriate the expertise of our craftspeople. The sole guarantee of quality and product durability lies in purchasing genuine Givenchy products.
At Givenchy, we take the issue of counterfeiting extremely seriously. We constantly monitor and report purveyors of counterfeit products wherever they are found, online and off.
Authentic Givenchy products are sold exclusively in Givenchy stores, through our official website www.givenchy.com, and via a selective network of approved retailers.
Why are there no "cheap" Givenchy products?
Givenchy is a Haute Couture Maison that combines exceptional craftsmanship with the use of rare materials and limited production to guarantee quality and exclusivity. The price reflects the time, expertise and rigor invested into each creation. Any pieces being sold for a much lower price are most likely counterfeits that do not meet these criteria of excellence.
How can you identify a genuine Givenchy bag?
Givenchy cannot provide overly precise information in order to identify authentic products, as this could be used by counterfeiters. However, an authentic Givenchy bag is always perfectly finished with uniform, robust stitching, a precisely embossed logo, labels complete with a unique product code, and elegant packaging in perfect condition. To ensure you're acquiring only genuine products, purchase from a Givenchy boutique, an authorized Givenchy dealer, or the official website.
What is a Givenchy "dupe" and is it the same as a counterfeit?
A counterfeit illegally reproduces the logo, brand name or design of a Givenchy product, and this is prohibited and punishable by law. A "dupe" is a copy of a Givenchy product design at a much lower price, and usually without the brand logo or name. A dupe can also be a counterfeit.
What are the risks of buying a fake Givenchy?
Buying a fake Givenchy can have several consequences, such as poor-quality materials that can harm the skin, a fragile product that doesn't last, a lack of assistance or warranty in the event of an issue, and indirect support for illegal supply chains that often exploit workers with unethical working conditions.
What is Givenchy doing to combat counterfeiting?
Givenchy has a dedicated brand protection team that works with national and international authorities to detect and remove counterfeit products. You can report any suspicious products to us at the following address: contact@givenchy.com
How can you tell the difference between a genuine Givenchy and a dupe on the Internet?
On the Internet, it’s essential to verify the identity of the seller: use the official Givenchy website or the websites of Givenchy-approved retailers. Be cautious of low prices, vague descriptions or poor-quality photos. Don't hesitate to ask the seller for a certificate of authenticity, or to contact Givenchy directly for verification: contact@givenchy.com
Why is the official Givenchy price so high?
The Givenchy price includes the cost of exceptional materials, the meticulous work of artisans, research and development, as well as investment in infrastructure and top-of-the-line customer service. This price guarantees a durable, timeless piece made with unique expertise that cannot be found in cheaper products.
