Yves Saint Laurent bags are one of the most beautiful creations. They are a status symbol, they are durable and coveted. Many crooks thrive on the popularity of Chanel. But it is easier then you think to spot a fake. Here are some signs of an authentic YSL bag

1. Authentic Yves Saint Laurent items never have a tag hanging off it. What may look as a very pretty metal tag with words “Yves Saint Laurent” on it, a leather tag that says “Genuine leather” is a sure sign of a fake.

2. Yves Saint Laurent bags have embossed serial numbers! The number is embossed on the inside of the bag.

3. You should try to compare pictures of the item up for auction to the pictures of what you know to be an authentic item- magazine articles, company website. Start with the official company website. Major retailer's web sites might be good sources as well.

4. YSL label on the inside the bag is never smudged and always evenly aligned. The word “Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche” is always spelled in full. Check for a correct spelling, too. It would never have any additional markings or pictures, such as smiley face or shooting star. You will be surprised at the most ridiculous spellings and pictures we found on the labels of otherwise good imitations.
