Designer handbags are all the rage and all women barring those that do not live
in ordinary time would probably want to have one, a couple or a hundred if
possible. Still, there is that question of price, price and price. Are there any
other problems beside that?
With its really pricey price, there are a lot of designer handbags knock-offs
being sold in the market today. In the Internet alone, there are literally
hundreds of sites selling fake designer handbags at low low costs. Some scammers
do not even tell that the designer handbags on their sites are designer
knock-offs. And to be totally honest, some are so close in design and
workmanship with the original that only a true designer handbag expert can tell
if it is the real thing or the reel deal. So how can one spot the authentic from
the fake without having the necessary years and years of experience with
designer handbags?
Designing the design
Thank god then for the Internet as you can easily compare the original from the
fake by just logging on to the website of the designer label and download the
picture of the handbag that you want to examine. All of the websites carry
close-up shots of the handbags that they carry so that it would be easier for
consumers to spot differences in design, cut and even the color of the thread
being used. Some websites will also carry tips that will further help you spot
the telling difference.
Get to the Fabric
Remember that paying big bucks for handbag is not only paying for the brand name
but also to the materials it used and the quality of its craftsmanship. Most
handbags are hand-made, the beaded ones all the more so. Materials used to
produce the designer handbags are top of the line and first class. As designer
labels have strict quality control, you can be sure that you are getting the
best for your money. This is one way to spot a fake. IF there is a problem with
stitching or with any part of the designer handbag, then it might not be the
real thing. Only those designer handbags that are perfectly done right down to
the minutest details are the ones that you are sure of to be originals.
Don't forget the details
While the basic cut, shape and size of the handbag may be identical with the
original, small details like the lock, the zipper and even the inside pockets
will be different. Sometimes the material itself will feel the same but the
print will not. Make sure then that the prints are clear and cleanly printed.
Also, Put special attention to cuffs, collar, buckles and other trimmings in the
handbag that may point to a less than authentic finish.
Also, when buying make sure that you know the trademarks and symbols of designer
labels as most designer knock-offs would not dare copy the exact trademark.
Hermes handbags, for instance, should have the Hermes Paris stamp while the
Versace, Hugo Boss and Dolce and Gabbana should have the Authentic labels
inside. |
