Nov 15 8 Sure Giveaways of a Fake Gucci Handbag
It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish authentic Gucci handbags from the fakes, in part due to the fact that there are fewer distinguishing factors of authenticity. Fake Gucci purses and handbags are many times so good that one needs an authentic bag for comparison.
Protect yourself! It is still possible to find discount Gucci bags that are actually authentic. Keep reading below for some general characteristics for comparison, and also some specific tactics to spot Gucci counterfeits.
Telltale Signs of Counterfeit Gucci Bags
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, 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) Look at the durability of the materials. Like most Italian handbags, Gucci uses only the highest quality leather, fabric, and hardware in their items. Any items with chipped, distressed, or flimsy-looking components are probably fake.
4) Look at the overall 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) For Gucci wallets, the stripes MUST BE red and blue on a blue "GG" wallet, NOT green and red; and the type must be clean and straight, not bleeding or crooked.
7) The handbag handles on some counterfeits appear much thinner and longer than authentic Gucci purses.
On current Gucci's, if the tag is completely square, it is a forgery. Gucci curves the bottom two corners ever so slightly.
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!
