Isn't this an Eman?

[lizajuk]

Now my French ain't brilliant and I can't see it called such.
lovely photos and they look similar to Dahlal's advert but not the same.
It may be second hand but I can't see so..again abysmal knowledge of French.
The item looks far superior to anything else on the site IMHO.

The photos are lifted from Dahlal's site, with the exception of the closeups at the bottom.

It does look like an Eman, but it looks doesn't look (to me anyhow) as good quality materials/fabric as the one on the Dahlal site, although I could be wrong.

It says it's new without tags.

Yep pic has definitely been pinched from Dahlal - see Dahlal Internationale

Well done Nikki, I had only looked on the "Eman" section" and the photos were only similar.
yes the close up different. Didn't we have an eBay shop like this before...had a designer full length shot then the close-ups looked suspiciously er...substandard?
Don't remember it being a French shop and most of the other costumes are from India>

That's outrageous! Definitely lifted from Dahlal's web site! Is there anything she can do?

[SummerSahar]

Are you guys SURE this pic is lifted from Dahlal? I mean, are you SURE? It's so hard to tell when they blur the model's face out....you know?

[nikkiraqs]

Oh yeah I'm sure! Here's the direct link to the image...they've carefully removed the dahlal logo, and scratched out the models face, but there's no doubt the photo is come from Dahlal! It's the exact same photo, which has just been photoshopped, if you look carefully you'll see the places where the Dahlal logo has been, those parts of the photo don't look quite right.

Dahlal call the costume Hollywood.

I don't know Summer, I've seen that model in person and she looks that way in real life - she has that pale, rubbed out look to her face

[Safiyah]

Yeah of course the first few photos are stolen from Dahlal...I don't think the closeups are an actual Eman, though. It's a knockoff, imo, based on those few pics at the end. Not the worst knockoff I've seen though - I'd want to see more photos

There is nothing that wrong or new is following trends and copying high fashion but....

Surely being "not the worse knock-off" doesn't excuse lifting Dahlal's photo and using it to advertise what is a knock off!

I wouldn't trust anyone who didn't use their own photos. if this is the same site , they sure get around and both Dahlal and potential buyers need warning.

I also think it's a knockoff as I own this costume in red (mine is an original Eman) and the fabric and stones are way different than the on these close-ups..

OMG I didn't mean it was OK to steal the photos! I just was commenting that it the quality (according to the limited pictures I saw) wasn't the worst. it's not a compliment :/

[lizajuk]

Emailed Dahlal and they got straight back saying they are contacting the vendor and eBay.
Safiyah...I didn't think you did but just thought it better to underline that I don't think copying is necessarily a bad thing...sometimes it's a compliment .
But I think this site is dangerous if they don't do a quality item as they are asking quite a lot for the costume and of course they are showing an original Eman and claiming it for their own.
