7 Differences Between Real and Imitation Designer Bags
by Paris LiandreWhile 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.
Fake bags are not nearly the quality as the designer bags. They've got mismatched patterns, lousy hardware, and less-than quality 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.
China is a large manufacturer of fake and replica designer bags. They tend to be priced between $100-$300.
The liners on fake bags are made from cheap fabric and you'll find that the lining isn't very well attached to the bag's frame. You may also find that the design and color of the lining fabric will give clues to its authenticity.
A real authentic designer bag is made nearly to perfection. Even the zippers, buttons, handles and other hardware are made of such high quality materials that they're unlikely to fall off or not work well.
Fake handbags are often stiff, and can smell like the horrid chemicals used to treat the leather. The leather should smell like good ole' leather.
If all your tricks at distinguishing fakes from the real comes to not and you end up with a fake, rest assured that your bag is still worth something. Shopping for counterfeits has actually become something like a sport, much to the frustration of the luxury designers. In fact, in some circles, you're more fashionable to carry a fake bag than a real one!
