Knowing How to Buy Balenciaga Handbags
Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Balenciaga handbags greatly in demand considering that they give a sophisticated look as well as quality material, and because of its uniqueness, you’ll surely find that each bag is completely different from the other, so to determine a true Balenciaga handbag, here’s what you should look for.
Remember that Balenciaga handbags are one of the finest fashions in the world. It’s no doubt that women would desire one considering almost everything about it is a must-have. But because of the much demand and fame, it’s no surprise that several imitations have been made to fool poor customers. Here are some ways to tell if Balenciaga handbags are genuine or not.
Craftsmanship- remember, Balenciaga is too reputable to show sloppy craftsmanship. If ever you notice some notable and visible defects, then it’s likely to be a fake one.
Analyze the handbag’s hardware. Balenciaga handbags feature Lampo zippers so “Lampo” will be embossed (in italic) on the zipper’s underside.
Leather material should be analyzed. All Balenciaga bags are made from goat leather that has been naturally distressed. Considering the quality varies from purse to purse, no two handbags will be the same; however, the leather on all the bags is supple, soft and high-quality. If ever it doesn’t have these qualities, then it might be a fake.
Find the Balenciaga name plate on the handbag. This will be likely a metal nameplate with the Balenciaga name. Try to look up the authentic photos of the design in question to confirm the name plate’s material.
Check the tassels on the handbag. They’re made from the same goat leather as the purse so they should be soft and supple. Each zipper on a Balenciaga purse should feature a tassel.
Analyze the bag’s handles; its material should be the same as the leather of the bag. The company refers to the handles as “sueded leather” since they appear like suede. If ever you notice that its somewhat just covered, then it might be an imitation.
Have patience in comparing photos of the handbag for sale with photos of authentic Balenciaga purses. If you notice inaccuracies, don’t buy it.
- All authentic Balenciaga handbags have Lampo brand zippers. Search for them Lampo label on the inside of the zipper and searched for italicized raised mnarkings.
Look for the nameplate. The Balenciaga nameplate is either a silver plate or a leather tag, depending on the year it was made and the handbag model. The model number is on the front of the plate, and the serial number is on the back. The model number matches the first six of the serial numbers on the back.
Examine the hardware. All of the tassels on Balenciaga bags are attached with sealed, metal rings.
Inspect the handles on a Balenciaga handbag. The handles are woven with leather that looks similar to suede. If the leather on the handles is shiny, it is not an authentic Balenciaga handbag.
“Controllato” card should be inside the Balenciaga’s signature cosmetic mirror. All genuine Balenciaga handbags have one.
