Designer Handbag Authenticity Guide
The sad fact is over 80% of designer good websites sell replica items. Most people have no idea that they have purchased a replica because they can look identical to the orginal product. The best way to combat this problem is to buy only from companies that have had their products verified and offer a customer review of their products. We are very happy that most of our customers have had our products verified because they leave us excellent feedback because of the deals that we can offer on their authentic purchase.
If you do buy from another site or eBay take a long look at their feedback to get an idea if they sell authentic goods.
How hard is it to spot a fake?
Most of what’s written about knock-off and fake designer merchandise includes a statement claiming that it’s very difficult to distinguish a fake from the real thing. However, if one takes just a few minutes to discriminately look at an item, it becomes quite clear that it’s either a knock off or the real thing.
Close inspection is the only way to tell a fake from an authentic bag. Comparing your handbag to one online won’t give you enough detail. Different browsers (Internet Explorer, FireFox, etc) show colors and images differently. Even if you are able to view multiple pictures of a bag you cannot be sure that these are pictures of the exact bag you are buying. For this reason we caution people from buying expensive designer items from eBay or other online auction sites.
Online purse blogs can be a helpful resource. However, we've seen conflicting opinions on certain style bags from bloggers that don’t follow the style changes from year to year. And as mentioned above, it is extremely difficult to determine authenticity soley from photographs unless the bag is a very bad replica.
Understanding some general facts about designer items and some specific characteristics about each designer is very helpful in determining if a bag is authentic. Each designer has characteristics built into their items to help prevent fakes and forgeries. We have provided some of these features below for the designers we carry.
What should I be looking for on any designer bag?
Stitching
Inconsistent stitching and sloppy construction in less visible areas, such as the underside of the bag or inside the pockets, are details to look for immediately. Authentic designer bags are more expensive due to carefully crafted construction. They cost more because they are built more complexly. Counterfeit products usually do not have the care of construction that the real item has. If the construction looks simplistic, it's likely to be a phony.
Material
Many fakes are made of reasonably good leather. However, they are seldom as good as the materials used by manufacturers of the real designer labels. Fake purses tend to be stiff, and can smell like the chemicals used to treat the leather. The leather should smell like leather. If you open a Marc Jacobs™ bag for instance, and put your nose inside, you should smell the unmistakable aroma of calf skin leather.
Details
The intricacy of threads, leathers, fabrics, metals and stamping make a luxury bag what it is and should be...expensive. The zippers, zipper pulls, handles, buckles and other trimmings are often what expose a fake.
Designers are trying to make it difficult for people to duplicate their product. For example, Marc Jacobs™ has imprinted the company name on the zipper pulls. Make sure the imprint of the company name on the zipper pull or other hardware is clear, not smudged. If the zippers themselves don’t seem sturdy or work easily, send or bring the bag back to where you bought it.
Make sure the handles are of equal length, the logo is straight and firmly fastened. There should be no remnants of glue around the nameplate.
Labels and Authenticity Cards
Believe it or not, there is typically some type of misspelling on the label, care card, authenticity card, etc, of many fakes. Look for any kind of misspelling on labels and tags. Fake labels are generally cheaply made, unclear in impression, and have lesser quality stitching.
