My son wants some jeans he found on this site, which looks like its the uk site of the Evisu brand, but I cant find any address details, no details where returns would go and just a yahoo email address which rings alarm bells, can someone advise please?

Didn't know what section to put this in..

I personally would not use this site. It is registered in China, and as you say, there is no return address or contact details on the actual site.

Looks dodgy - they have blog which reads like dribble

http://www.evisu.uk.com/blog/

The real Evisu seems to be this one with a UK contact number - worth calling them to ask about the other site

I would also report the dodgy looking one to http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/

Thanks, it confirms what I thought, the more I dug into it and read more links it looked dodgier and dodgier.. Its only thanks to sites like this that I looked into it more and more before I said he could go ahead and spend £70 he was borrowing from his sister.
The bottom link I actually found while I was looking for info

Clearly if they're selling £370 designer jeans for £70 then they're not going to be an official retailer. And there's the small matter of copyright infringement.

But would you likely get a good copy of these designer jeans, possibly yes, and they might even come from the factories that are making the 'real' product.

My son wanted a premiership replica shirt, he came to me with a website where he could buy one for £13. Same deal, no contact details, website registered in china, looked like a scam. So I did a bit of googling and actually found some very positive references to the site in football related forums. So paid 13 quid, waited 2 weeks, assumed I'd been had, and then the shirt arrived. Perfect replica, excellent quality.

Of course I'm not advocating buying counterfeit goods, but if you do some research it is possible to find quality products at good prices...

I was taken in by this website, it's been done very well, thanks for the information on this site which confirmed my suspicions. The official website is as the comment says above. They have some good sales & I've ordered some good items previously. I also bought some fake Evisu jeans in Bangkok a couple of years ago. They were about £15. They were ok when they were brand new but very quickly faded & were then very obviously fake. I wouldn't reccomend them. I also bought a white Tshirt, for about £3, that's ok & I still occasionally wear it now. Looks like I'll unfortunately have to wait, & save, awhile longer to buy some genuine jeans.
