How to Spot a Fake ILNya Nieternite Nifutur

Popular designs get copied, and copies are often sold using our own product photos. This page shows what genuine ILNya Nieternite Nifutur looks like, so you can tell the difference.

What genuine ILNya Nieternite Nifutur looks like

This brand makes dark, deconstructed clothes on purpose. Asymmetric cuts, exposed seams, crinkled fabric and raw, frayed edges are part of the design, not defects.

The handwritten-script neck label

Black woven neck label with Ilnya Niéternité Nifutur in thin white handwritten script, a small TM mark and a Roman numeral size
Our Asymmetrical Shawl Collar Belted Crinkled Vest has a black woven neck label with "Ilnya Niéternité Nifutur" in thin white handwritten script, a small "TM" and a Roman numeral (such as "II") in place of S, M or L. The crinkled fabric is intentional.

The off-centre trouser front

On our Distressed Hem Asymmetrical Fly Trousers, the fly and waistband button sit to one side, the front panel wraps across diagonally, and the button is dark and mottled.

Seams that are meant to show

Washed, faded T-shirt with raised exposed seams and tape running down the centre front and across the shoulders
Our Washed Spliced T-Shirt has raised, exposed seams and tape running down the centre front and across the shoulders, on a washed, faded body.

Some styles also use mismatched or mixed-tone buttons on purpose, as their product descriptions on our site point out.

Signs of a copy

  • A big "sale" against a "was" price that is higher than the piece has ever sold for.
  • Our product photos and descriptions, shown under a different shop name.
  • A printed, white or blocky neck label instead of the black woven label with thin white script.
  • The name misspelled or cut short in the listing or on the label.
  • Asymmetric details made symmetric, or "crinkled" fabric that is really flat fabric with a printed texture.
