Answer 1

How to know a real bag:

1. Smell it. Leather smells good. You should detect no chemical smell at all.

2. Check the details. Remember, the people who sew for Prada and others are good at it -- one assumes they are the best at it. Look in the corners, particularly, and see that the stitching is straight. Top-notch bags not only use excellent materials but pass a quality control test. Spot any flaw -- no matter how tiny -- and youll know you’ve got a phony.

3. More on stitching giveaways: Most fancy handbag makers don’t use nylon thread. Further, the stitching should not be really obvious. Look inside and check the lining. Is that bag as elegantly turned on the inside as it is outside? It ought to be. Put your fingers in the corners and push to see if the lining holds up and how well it sits in the purse. It should be flush to the corners.

4. Design and color. Do you recognize the purse? Is it similar to one that you like, but seems a little off? A few less pockets on the inside perhaps? Or wow, you’ve never seen a turquoise Chanel like this! How unusual!

5. Are there authentication papers with the bag? Ha! The presence of papers doesn’t really matter since those can be just as counterfeit as the purse.

6. If buying online, check the seller’s lot to make sure they don’t have a hundred or so of these “extremely rare!” purses. Check their return policy and also calculate shipping into the equation.

7. Piping: Follow the piping around the purse. Check that it is sewed evenly and that there are no overlaps. Try to find where the two piping ends meet. They should be sewn together. Lots of basic regular purses will use vinyl or plastic piping although the rest of the purse is leather.

8. What do your instincts tell you? Are you holding your first “Gucci” handbag and you’re a little disappointed? Chances are you’re holding a fake.

9. Oh, and also, if you got a $300 bag for $40 from a street vendor, chances are that it is FAKE!



Hope this helps!!!!!

Answer 2

if you spent 29 dollars on a gucci purse, you MUST have some good connections or it is fake. i honestly think ANYONE would be dumb enough to sell a purse that could go up to like 4,000 dollars.

Answer 3

It depends on how much you paid for it. That normally tells you right away if it is fake or not.

Answer 4

if they're made in china they're not real. And they should have a serial number if they are real, on the inside somewhere like a tag.

Answer 5

did you buy them in a department store or an "indepent vendor"???? I would venture to guess that if you didn't buy it at a department store.. it is probably a fake

Answer 6

depends on what you paid for it, your going to get what you paid for....no one is going to sell the real thing for nothing

Answer 7

hard to judge based on pricing. more reliable if you judge based on the person or place you bought it from.

Answer 8

check with a fashion expert. it is too hard for an average person to recognize it.

Answer 9

depends on where you got it

Answer 10

real ones are expensive.
