Buying a high-end designer bag is serious business and often it is the smallest and seemingly insignificant details that\u2019s the difference between a genuine product or a smart knock-off. We give you 11 tips to help you spot a fake designer bag:<\/p>\n<h3><b>1) <\/b>Know the Source<\/h3>\n<p>First things first, be sure where you buy from. If you buy from the brand store, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you choose to buy pre-loved women bags, online or in consignment stores, make sure you buy from registered, reputed and professional companies or platforms. If they do not have a return policy and do not appear authentic, chances are their bags aren\u2019t either. What is authentic? Read on.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2) <\/b><b>Certificate of Authenticity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not be deceived by authenticity certificates, as not all designer brands provide them. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/chanel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chanel<\/a> is a brand that offers a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uthenticity cards<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but Herm\u00e8s does not. Keep in mind that if a designer bag can be easily replicated, so can an authenticity card! Do some research on whether the brand you\u2019re buying issues authenticity certificates or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8798\" style=\"width: 605px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/women\/chanel-silver-quilted-classic-quilted-woc-bag-p22405\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8798 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/full_LC-41035-158975_chanel-silver-quilted-classic-quilted-woc-bag_9b84.jpg\" alt=\"Authenticity-Card-Chanel-spot-a-fake-designer-bag\" width=\"605\" height=\"605\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chanel Authenticity Card<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>3) Be Realistic About the Price on Offer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Designer bags are expensive because they are extremely well crafted with material of impeccable quality. If the price is too good to be true, be wary. For example, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Louis Vuitton bag cost <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the monogram <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahina Leather Cirrus<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 5,690 AED. However, price alone is not the guarantor of acquiring a genuine designer bag. You must make sure that you pay attention to all the finer details as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4) Check the Material<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking to buy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women\u2019s clutches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women everyday bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, make sure the material of the bag you have chosen matches the respective style of the brand. For example, famous brands do not use rough leather but use high quality, fine material. The leather trims should not feel slippery, oily or sticky. The material can tell you a lot about the bag\u2019s quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5)\u00a0<\/b><b>A Stitch in time saves you Money<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you choose to buy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/alexander-wang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexander Wang<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/michael-kors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Kors<\/span><\/a>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a top-end <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, every designer brand has a signature stitch that is unique to that particular brand. Identifying and analyzing this aspect is a great method of authentication. The stitching should not be slanted, sloppy, or uneven. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other indicators that the bag is counterfeit are if the stitching changes in color, is frayed or knotted, or has any other noticeable visual defects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6)\u00a0<\/b><b>Ponder over the Print<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspecting the signature print is another key to knowing if your bag is authentic. Brands like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/fendi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fendi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/louis-vuitton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Louis Vuitton<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/gucci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gucci<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are well known for their monogram designs. Observe the nuances of the print and how it appears on a specific style of bag. For example, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the print starts and ends with the same symbol for an LV Speedy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A counterfeit bag is not likely to have this kind of precision. Also, notice the spellings, they should be rightly printed both on the interior and exterior.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7) Lining and Pockets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like they say the devil is in the details, so do check the lining and pockets. A designer bag will be well lined and any imperfections, distortions are a dead giveaway. The lining of a <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/prada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prada<\/a> bag, for example, will never be in a contrasting color and will have a perfectly matched lining and exterior. Similarly, with pockets, counterfeit bags may miss or add extra pockets. Carefully observe them for tell-tale signs when buying your chosen <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women hobos <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or any other bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8)\u00a0<\/b><b>Tags or Labels<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your coveted <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s bag <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was a costly purchase, and<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you certainly want value for your money. The tags and labels are always a giveaway, so always check them. Notice if the inside tags are hand-stitched or stamped into the leather if the brand name is spelled correctly and also check if the brand includes an authenticity label on the outside of the bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9)\u00a0<\/b><b>Hardware<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All designer bags, right from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/women\/womens-handbags?brands=1&amp;category_level_one_ids=women&amp;category_level_two_ids=womens-handbags&amp;initial_params=category_level_one_ids%3Dwomen%23category_level_two_ids%3Dwomens-handbags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3.1 Philip Lim bags<\/a>, Asprey Bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s Birkin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pay special attention to buttons, buckles, zipper pulls, metal clasps, locks, and other hardware. The quality is always impeccable and may typically have a number or name engraved on them. This is another sign of authenticity and quality. The hardware should not lose its shine and zipper handles that do not appear sturdy definitely indicate a fake bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10) Brand Name<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can happen that we are too busy checking out other things that we may seem to miss the obvious, the brand name or the logo. It usually is a slip-up area for fakes. The counterfeiters print the brand name in a different font, misspell, or write it in fudgy letters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11)\u00a0Serial Number<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The serial number is one of the most vital aspects of authenticity. The number along with the label is sealed in a distinctive way, which makes it impossible to remove it without causing damage to the bag. You can distinguish the two in that a fake bag would probably just have a printed serial number somewhere on the inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy your dream bag, take the time to research and understand the unique attributes of the brand and specifically the bag. Designer bags are a long-term investment and with these tips, you can confidently flaunt yours in style, knowing it was well worth the cost! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search, select, and own the latest designer labels like Louis Vuitton, Herm\u00e8<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s, <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/piaget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piaget<\/a>, Chanel, and more, at up to 70% off.
