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.
Characteristics of Counterfeit Gucci Handbags
1) One obvious sign (and an all-too-common one) is an inaccurate logo on the face of the bag. Things to look out for are incorrect font sizes and letter spacing, (both in relation to one another and to the entire tag), misspellings, and capitalization errors. They do happen!
2) On monogrammed bags, look at the G's. You're looking for overall shape and clarity. Fakes will sometimes have fatter G's that bleed out like old tattoos.
3) Look at the colours on any bag you are considering. Some forgeries will have less vibrant, or even faded shades, particularly with the green and red webbing or lining.
4) Examine the overall construction and stitching of the item. Stitching should be even, neat, and tight.
5) Many ads for forgeries will still have the word "authentic" somewhere, but almost ALL authentic ads will contain the word authentic. If "authentic" is missing, don't purchase.
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 handbag handles on some counterfeits might appear much thinner and longer than authentic Gucci bags.
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 is. 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! - 15634
