be it Fendi, Prada, Chanel or Dior. Your friends are drooling over
that gorgeous Gucci Turquoise Leather Handbag you just bought. Wait
until they hear what a great deal you got!
But is it authentic or is it a fake? Determining authenticity can be a
bit tricky because some fakes are done very well. However if you know
what to watch for you can spot a fake in a minute!
The first thing you need to do is look at the bag itself. Do the
materials look to be of the highest quality? How about the stitching?
There should be no loose or uneven threads and the thread should match
the bag exactly. If the bag is leather the logo will be engraved into
the leather.
Next have a look at the hardware. The hardware should all be quality
weight pieces with no scratches or color variations. Most of the
designers actually have a plastic face that goes over the hardware to
protect if from damage until the bag is purchased. The brand name will
be engraved not embossed on the hardware. You should also be able to
find the name engraved on the hardware for the strap.
Have a really close look at the liner and any accents. Check for
quality. The liner should be silk and you should see the designers
name or logo on the liner. Designers don't use cheap plastic accents.
Even their fancy handles that are fun and funky. If you look closely
you will see leather underneath the top finish.
Many authentic handbag comes with a card of authenticity which has the
manufacturers logo embossed on it, as well as information about the
bag.
You need to check for a serial number. Not all designers put a serial
number on their bags but many do. So have a look and see if you can
find it.
Now here is the easiest clue to remember. If the deal sounds too good
to be true it is. Lets face it folks how do you think that somebody on
ebay has the ability to buy
