vinted don't care about fake listings, do they?

Browsing this morning. Spotted this listing

https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/10194156853-john-lewis-grey-thompson-tartan-kilt-w32-l26-approx-uk-12-brand-new?referrer=catalog

Clearly photoshopped image. Label on main image attached as if by magic. Not a John Lewis label.

Reported as suspicious listing but no, does not violate their community standards.

I think the photos of the skirt are real. The model is an AI image to demonstrate what it might look like on. I hate that vinted allow this but they do.

But even if the AI/photoshopped image is allowed, that is clearly NOT a John Lewis item, but is being sold as such.

How can you tell it’s not John Lewis?

KassandraOfSparta · 01/10/2026 11:52

Does it look like a kosher John Lewis label to you when you click through the pictures?

Looks ok to me.

You really think this label looks like anything you've ever seen on a genuine john lewis garment? Without the brand logo or font? No UK dress size given?

No wonder so many people complain about getting scammed. Some mug has already spent £22 on what they think is a John Lewis tartan skirt and what is quite clearly a poorly made piece of tat from a faker in China.

I wasn’t talking about the label, but JL goods sometimes have more than one label.

So much fake tat on there being sold as the real thing it’s becoming a scammers delight.
I get lots of the needoh fakes coming up on my pages.
