In recent times, we’ve seen an unfortunate flood of fake Casablanca t-shirts across the market, especially from the same few questionable websites. This problem has become increasingly common, and it’s easy to see why it’s concerning for those who seek authentic luxury pieces.
The Problem with Casablanca T-Shirts
Take, for instance, the Casablanca Aiiiiir T-Shirt in Navy from A/W22. When it was originally released, this t-shirt sold for well over retail price, reflecting its high demand and exclusivity. Yet, if you search online today for “Casablanca T-shirt Navy,” you’ll stumble upon countless listings offering the same t-shirt at 40-50% off retail.
Similarly, other Casablanca t-shirt styles from previous seasons are often listed at 40-60% discounts across all sizes, which immediately raises suspicion. It's simply not realistic for rare, highly-coveted items to be available in every size, especially with such heavy discounts. Many of these items are old season deadstock that counterfeiters seize upon to trick consumers.
Heavy Discounts Don’t Always Mean Fake
Now, let’s be clear: not every discounted Casablanca t-shirt is fake. It’s common for legitimate retailers to offer discounts on less popular styles, such as sweatshirts or older collections. For example, at Boinclo, we occasionally offer discounts of up to 20% on certain Casablanca items, reflecting their demand and the need to clear stock for new arrivals. But beware when a company is offering all styles in all sizes at massive discounts, especially for new season items.
Retailers like Flannels may discount Casablanca t-shirts down to £120, but you’ll notice that most good sizes are quickly sold out. The lesson here is that when a product is in demand, there’s no reason it should be available across all sizes with steep discounts unless something is off.
