Babelary is a website that claims to sell women’s clothing such as robes, dresses, tops and more at low prices. Every product on the website is marked as being discounted in the range of 30% to 40%.
The store was created recently in January 2021 and the registrant’s details have been hidden using a paid service. As the website has been created using Shoplazza, it would seem that Babelary is a Chinese business. Therefore, it is a new website that is being operated seemingly from a high-risk country.
Babelary’s products are not original as the same can be found on numerous other websites, many of which look like dubious Chinese webshops.
The images shown on the site are unlikely to be actual representations of the products being old. It seems that designs have been superimposed on stock images of models. Therefore, the clothes that customers receive may differ from the depictions on Babelary’s website.
The text content on the website is not original either. The About Us page contains the following text:
babelary.com offers fast fashion at the designer boutique quality. Our team of professional buyers identify all the latest fashion trends, at the same time examine every detail of product quality. They work with emerging designers and brands worldwide, and together present collections of creative, trendy, high craftsmanship fashion on babelary.com.
Identical text can be found on at least 38 other websites. I ran these sites through the Scamadviser Analyzer and found that 30 out of 32 (93.8%) sites analyzed have shared IP addresses. This suggests that Babelary is not a standalone brand, but rather one store among a large network of websites operated by the same owners.
Only a few of these sites have reviews and the average review score is just 0.27 out of 5, which means that Babelary doesn’t appear to be in good company. It should also be noted that all these websites have been created between January 2021 to April 2021 with many of them being created on the same day. The owners of Babelary are creating online stores in bulk.
Further evidence that Babelary might be a Chinese operation is found while checking out using PayPal. The account associated with the site carries the name ‘广州落葵信息技术咨询中心’ or Guangzhou Luokui Information Technology Consulting Center, which seems to be a Chinese company.

The Scamadviser page of Babelary has not been claimed by the company.
The website contains no real information about the company running the website. There is not a single phone number or return address given anywhere. There is also no mention of China on the website.
The only official details given on the website are of a company registered in the UK called ‘Bumperr Ltd’. This seems to be a shell incorporation created by Chinese owners as multiple Chinese nationals have held the post of Director in the company, including the active Director at the time of publishing this article.
The Contact Us page of the website only contains the email ID ‘info@lady-coat.com’ which is evidently of a different website. Interestingly, I have reviewed Lady-Coat.com in the past and found that it looked like another Chinese-owned website being operated under the name of an infamous UK shell incorporation called Middle Bridge Ltd.
Lady-coat itself was found to have relations to 255 other websites, which is similar to Babelary’s connections to 40 websites. Therefore, it is not far-fetched to assume that Babelary may be another website in the Middle Bridge Ltd. network.
There are no social media profiles mentioned on Babelary’s website. However, I found that Babelary has two separate Facebook pages, both of which are being used for advertising. It is not at all normal for a brand to create two pages on the same platform, especially for the same purpose.
One of these pages provides the email ID ‘info@lioshirt.com’ for customer support. Lioshirt.com was also found to be related to Lady-coat.com, which is another indication that Bumperr Ltd. might simply be a sister company of Middle Bridge Ltd.
The page information of these pages shows that they are being operated from locations such as the Philippines and India. This is a recurring trend being observed in the Facebook pages of Chinese online stores. There is no evidence that Babelary is based in the Philippines or India but there are multiple signs suggesting that it is a Chinese business. Therefore, the inaccurate locations could be another attempt at hiding Babelary’s Chinese origin.
Babelary is presently running a total of 244 advertisements on Facebook and Instagram through both pages combined.
I could not find any proper reviews for Babelary online. The closest thing available were comments on Babelary’s pages as well as on Scamadviser’s Facebook page. All the commenters have said that they never received order confirmations after placing their orders and did not receive the items either. The page owners have not replied to any of the comments.
There is an extremely high likelihood that Babelary might be a scam.
It has a Trust Score of 1% on Scamadviser, indicating that it is tremendously risky to shop on this website. You can read more about Babelary’s Trust Score here.
Babelary is a new website created in January 2021 and seems to be operated from China which is a high-risk country for scams. The products on the site do not seem to be original as the same can be found on various websites, including several shady Chinese stores. The pictures of the products may also not accurately depict the items being sold, as they are edited images of designs superimposed onto stock models.
The content used on Babelary’s website is not original either. The same text is shared by at least 40 other websites. Almost all of these appear to be related to Babelary as they have shared IP addresses. This shows that Babelary is part of an organized network of Chinese ecommerce stores.
The PayPal account being used by Lodielle is of a Chinese company called Guangzhou Luokui Information Technology Consulting Center. This company name is not mentioned anywhere on the website. In fact, there is absolutely no mention of China anywhere on the site.
Babelary does not provide any real information about the company that is running the website. The company information provided is of Bumperr Ltd. registered in the UK, which shows signs of being a shell company created from China. There are also apparent connections to another UK shell company named Middle Bridge Ltd. which is notorious for giving shoppers a horrible experience.
Babelary does not link to any social media profiles on the website. However, I found that it has two separate Facebook pages, both of which are being used for running advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. This is shady as no genuine brand will create two pages on the same platform for the same purpose. The page information says that they are being operated from the Philippines and India, but this information is unlikely to be real as multiple signs point toward Babelary being a Chinese website.
Several users have commented on Facebook that they never received confirmations for their orders or the package itself. As a result, they have alleged that Babelary is a fraudulent website.
The only way to get support from Babelary is by email, as no other contact information has been provided. It is advisable to avoid shopping on Babelary, as the chances of having a poor shopping experience are remarkably high.
Babelary is one among countless dubious e-commerce stores that originate from China but do not disclose their origins. It is important to exercise caution when shopping online to avoid losing your money or ending up unhappy with your purchase.
