How to Buy Authentic, Discount Gucci Bags
It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish authentic Gucci handbags from the forgeries, partially because of the fact that there are not as many distinguishing factors of authenticity. Fake Gucci purses and handbags are many times so good that one needs an authentic bag for comparison.
Protect yourself! It is easy to get discount Gucci bags that are actually authentic. Continue reading below for some general characteristics for comparison, and also some specific telltale signs that counterfeiters will use.
Telltale Signs of Counterfeit Gucci Purses
1) A sure sign (and one that’s all-too-common) is an incorrect emblem on the front of the bag. Things to watch out for are incorrect font sizes and letter spacing, (both as they relate to each other and to the entire tag), misspelled words, and capitalization mistakes. They do happen!
2) On monogrammed bags, examine the G’s. You’re looking for both shape and symbol clarity. Fakes will sometimes have fatter G’s that begin to run like old tattoos.
3) Look at the durability of the materials. Like most Italian handbags, Gucci uses only the highest quality leather, fabric, and hardware in their items. Any items with chipped, distressed, or flimsy-looking components are probably fake.
4) Look at the overall craftsmanship of the purse. Stitching should be tight, clean, and even.
5) Many ads for forgeries will still have the word “authentic” somewhere, but almost ALL authentic ads will contain the word authentic. If “authentic” is missing, don’t purchase.
6) “Gucci Made in Italy” must be embossed in gold on some part of the handbag or strap. It could also say “Gucci Parfums.”
7) The purse handles on some forgeries appear much thinner and longer than genuine Gucci handbags.
On current Gucci’s, if the tag is completely square, it is a forgery. Gucci curves the bottom two corners ever so slightly.
Keep in mind: If it looks too good to be true, it just might be. But you can still find fashion handbags wholesale by connecting directly with sellers. Just know how to spot the fakes and always buy with your credit card!
