Identifying Original Designer Handbags
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
Nowadays, fake designer handbags continue to rise. For the woman that is still after the authentic designer handbags, this can present a challenge. But don’t worry; there are ways to spot the fake ones. This article will help you. Below are some of the designer handbag brands that we carry and how you can identify the real from the fake and save yourself from a disappointing purchase.
B. Makowsky handbags:
They’re known for their type of leather. Most knock-off handbags are not made of this same genuine soft leather and will not have the signature satin lining. Search for such characteristics. If the price looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Marc Jacobs handbags:
These bags have slanted “i’s”. If the bag has upright “i’s” then it is probably a fake. Original Marc Jacobs handbags don’t have blank zippers. For their east/west handbags, a Lampo zipper is used. A Lampo zipper is manufactured by Lampo and will have the zipper brand found on the backside or underneath the zipper. Fake Michael Kors often have metal or leather tag hanging from the bag.
Such don’t appear on original Michael Kors bags. Avoid handbags with tags that say they’re original. Some replica manufacturers use this to fool consumers in believing they have purchased an authentic bag. Each Michael Kors bag should have a metal label inside that says Michael Kors and not numbers.
Michael Kors handbags:
Famous for his trademark on square buckles, or accents on handbags, every Michael Kors purse has these square accents. The fake ones don’t have such accents.
Brahmin handbags:
So far, there are no discovered fake Brahmin handbags. At one point, these handbags were being assembled in China so don’t be alarmed if you find an authentic that says “made in China” as these are authentic handbags.
Cole Haan handbags:
They’re known for soft and supple leather bags. When you bend the leather, you shouldn’t be able to feel any crinkle. If the leather has a rough feel, it might be a fake. Cole Haan bags cost anywhere from $300 to $12,000 so if someone is selling it for $25, chances are it is a fake. There are factors you can take into consideration when purchasing a discount designer handbag.
- Read the description of the bag carefully and ask question for anything that seem unclear. If the description states the handbag is a “replica” or “designer inspired” then it’s a fake.
- Look at the price of the handbag, if the price is too good to be true, then chances is it is. If the bag is being sold for 25% of the original retail, chances are it’s a fake.
- Determine the dealer, some things you can ask yourself are: Do they have a reasonable return policy? Does their website have a professional look and feel?
- Look for the key trademark characteristic that are notorious for some specific designers.
- Designer handbags are usually made from fine leather and soft fabrics. If ever the handbag is crafted in cheap leather, then it may be a knock off.
- Check the stitching to ensure that it’s even and straight. Fake designer handbags usually have crooked or incomplete stitching. Original handbags should have an even and straight stitching. One more important thing is that if you aren’t sure; go ask the dealer if their bag is original and what their return policy is. If they are willing to offer a return policy or 100% satisfaction guarantee, then the designer handbags are usually authentic.
We really hope that we have somehow aided you to give the tools you would need in shopping for original designer handbags.
