Tips for spotting fake bags

Due to the advanced nature of today’s technology, it’s possible for counterfeiters to pull off wonderful (not in a good way) designer bag scams. They go so far as to put fake codes, designs, and other intricate details on the bag to make it look real. Let’s put it another way. Considering that the Internet is accessible to almost all populated parts of the world, these counterfeiters are growing in number.

So how can you, as a shopper who isn’t an expert in knowing the minute intricacies of a genuine designer bag, tell a fake bag from a real one? Here are some tips to do just that and make sure you choose nothing but the best.

1. Avoid buying Tier 1 name brand or name brand handbags on the internet

Unless you desperately need that model that you can’t find in nearby retail stores, there’s almost no reason for you to buy an expensive designer fashion bag online. Some might argue that buying online can get you discounted prices, but it’s better to shell out a few extra bucks for the original stuff than shell out a lot more for what might be fake.

2. Check the quality of the bag and go with your instinct

Since you are not a bag collector who knows every intricate detail of every designer bag, you are bound to miss a few things here and there. It is important to understand that sometimes you need to trust your instincts. If you trust your gut, it will almost always help you find the right answers. Check the zipper, the straps, the quality of the leather of the bag, feel it inside, hold it, lift it and follow your instincts. This, of course, comes after a preliminary examination of the bag for obvious or non-obvious clues that it is a fake.

3. Try looking at some of the imitation bags to see what they look like

This may seem a bit off the mark as advice, but to spot fake bags, sometimes it helps to know what a fake looks like. If you have a good idea of ​​what fake designer bags look like, it will be easier for you to spot them while shopping for the real thing.

Try to buy the bags from a reputable retailer. This will ensure that what you buy is original. Also, if you see very cheap designer handbags from branded designer houses, chances are it’s also a knockoff.
