How to tell a real handbag from a fake one?
by admin on Feb.16, 2010, under Handbags
Not all people who have replica handbags got them via scam, some people just prefer them and there is nothing wrong about it.
However, if you are in a search for a real bag and don’t want to be enticed into buying a fake one you should really read this article and think over the rules.
One of the most important things to know about replica bags is that they can never put a label with the real name of the brand they are copying because this is illegal. This is why manufacturers have come up with a very clever but sometimes silly solution. They designate the labels with new names which derive from the real ones. For instance the brand JACOBS could be seen as JAKOBS.
So first rule
1. Always check the label of the garment and carefully check how it has been spelled.
The second rule is about the design of the bag itself. Handbag designers put a lot of thought into their designs; they develop special details on some bags. If you haven’t noticed all Esprit bags have a signature arrangement of all pockets and sections inside every bag and it is the same for almost every model no matter the size.
2. Never trust a bag! Always check the real design of a bag in an authorized shop or site and when doubting a bag to be real check for the small amendments in the design!
After all copying a design is also illegal!
The other 3 rules refer to the materials, the guarantee and the salesperson.
Most replica bags are produced and sold for less money than real bags. In order to do this companies have to cut money from the materials. They use materials with lower quality so if you are well acquainted with the materials used for the real bag you would be able to tell a fake from the original.
Last but not least original bags are sold in boutiques and often have guarantees with them because people demand some kind of insurance for the quality of the product.
3. If the bag is made of low-quality materials, doesn’t have a guarantee or hasn’t been bought from a boutique or an authorized shop, it is probably a replica handbag.
