7 Ways to Distinguish Real Designer Bags from Fakes

Author: ParisLiandre Total views: 3 Word Count: 299

While being stylish, designer bags also come with the reality that there are people out there trying to make knock-offs. These are so similar to the high-priced bags that sometimes it's hard to tell the real from the fake! Here are some things you can look for to help tell the difference.

While designer bags are made very well, the fake bags aren't. You'll find the fakes have patterns that don't match up, flimsy hardware, and cheap lining.

Designer bags are made to strict standards in their colors, sizes, and shapes. If you know exactly what color and dimension you are looking for in a designer bag, it can help you spot the real from the fake.

The fake designer bags, including higher priced replicas are generally made in China. You'll find that these bags tend to run in the range of $100-$300 each.

Fake bags will have liners made from much cheaper materials and the inside lining will not be attached to the frame as securely. The fabric design and color can also be used as evidence of a fake bag.

Truly authentic bags have hardly a single flaw both inside and out! You'll notice upon inspection that the hardware (like zippers and buttons) on the bag are of extremely high quality and not likely to malfunction or break.

A non-authentic handbag will likely be stiff and often will smell like chemicals used to treat the leather. In a real designer bag, the leather smells like leather.

If you learn that you ended up with a fake designer bag, it's not all bad! Counterfeit shopping has become something of a sport, much to the disappointment of luxury-goods makers. Fake designer bags are all over the place, it seems - so easy to buy that in some circles it's almost uncool to carry the real thing!
