WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING AN AUTHENTIC DESIGNER HANDBAG

Please be sure to vote YES below after you read this guide!!!!!

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 handbags 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 most likely to be a fake. 
 

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 handbags 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 Gucci® handbag 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 designer 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.  

Authenticity Cards and Labels:

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.  

Where are the products made?

Most of our designer products are produced oversees; particularly Italy and France.

Are the pictures posted on the Website the real items that the customer will receive?

Yes.  But please be aware of the following regarding color of images:

Please Note: Color of each image shown on screen is adjusted to industry standard monitor calibration setting. No one single monitor is calibrated with the same color setting especially if the viewing monitor is produced by different manufactures. The purpose of showing the images on screen is for helping our customers select the design they prefer. Due to the many descrepancies of on-screen images, the product you receive may not appear to have the same color that you viewed on your monitor.

Why do some handbags have what looks like scratches or wrinkles on them?

Major designer makers have stated that scars, scratches, veins and wrinkles are natural markings and are characteristic of full-grain leather products.
