How toSpot Fake

Designer Bags

So you like designer bags?Well how do you know if it's real or a knock off?

Fake purses are always at flea markets.

Go there, look at the purses, then, if you can, mentally compare them to real designer bags for practice.

If you're going to shop online, don't go to ANY site that isn't the actual manufacturer's site.

Check the lining of the bag.

It either feels extremely cheap and has protruding strings, due to poor stitching; or it should have a custom label or logo on the bag somewhere, which indicates that they are authentic.

The names sometimes appear on zippers or pockets and some companies like to put it in the same spot on every handbag to ensure their customers know it’s real.

Check the buckles:

Real will have the highest quality of brass or nickel, while a fake has plastic, polished hardware and or nicked or dented hardware.

Look at the zipper!

If it's bad, FAKE. (Zippers never last on a fake, and they are hard to open most of the time.)

If The label of the purse is starting to come off you will obviously tell it is fake.

The tag on the bag will be leather if it's real. But in some cases, fake bags have leather tags, but they can simply be recognized as fake if you look at the stitching.It will be very poorly done and sloppy.

Tip’s 1:

If the fabric isn't soft or look right.Although it says real bags have leather patches, on rare occasion fake coaches come with one. This leather patch will be shinier than it should be.

Tip’s 2:

And done with poor engraving, so look out for that.All real coach bags have C's that are lined up at the seams.If the c pattern is on the outside it WILL NOT be on the inside lining as well.

Tip’s 3:
