It is becoming harder and harder to distinguish authentic Gucci handbags from the fakes, partly due to the fact that there are not as many distinguishing factors of authenticity. Forged Gucci purses and handbags are many times so professional that one needs an authentic bag for comparison.
Protect yourself! It is easy to get discount Gucci bags that are actually authentic. Continue reading below for some general characteristics for comparison, and also some specific telltale signs that counterfeiters will use.
Telltale Signs of Counterfeit Gucci Purses
1) A sure sign (and one that's all-too-common) is an incorrect emblem on the front of the bag. Things to watch out for are incorrect font sizes and letter spacing, (both as they relate to each other and to the entire tag), misspelled words, and capitalization mistakes. They do happen!
2) On monogrammed bags, examine the G's. You're looking for both shape and symbol clarity. Fakes will sometimes have fatter G's that begin to run like old tattoos.
3) Examine the colors on any potential purchase. Some forgeries will have less vibrant, or even distressed hues, especially with the green and red webbing or lining.
4) Look at the overall construction and craftsmanship of the purse. Stitching should be tight, clean, and even.
5) Many ads for counterfeits will still have the word "authentic" somewhere, but almost ALL authentic ads will contain the word authentic. If "authentic" is missing, walk away.
6) "Gucci Made in Italy" must be embossed in gold on some part of the purse or strap. It could also say "Gucci Parfums."
7) The purse handles on some forgeries appear much thinner and longer than genuine Gucci handbags.
8) Satchel bags come in blue and brown logo vinyl, trimmed with matching leather. They will always have a twill racing stripe somewhere on the bag. Either down the middle and up the back, or as ribbons on each end of the handles. There will be a green and red stripe on the brown Gucci Accessory Collection bags and a red and blue stripe on the navy blue doctor bags in the G.A. Collection.
Keep in mind: If it looks too good to be true, it just might be. But you can still find fashion handbags wholesale by connecting directly with sellers. Just know how to spot the fakes and always buy with your credit card! - 15359
