I just bought an LV bag for my G/F from Holt's and it has one side right side up and the other upside down.

because its illegal to buy imitation products. Imitation products
could be sold for illegal purposes such as drug trafficking,
human trafficking or anything that helps illegal things?

^^^word. Its illegal. Just like drugs, even if u don't deal doesn't mean you can freely carry it around.


but still feel sorry for the girl with the fake shit...embarassing as hell.

The downtown Gucci store doesn't do authentication. I brought it to them and that's what they told me. If they have the same model, they'll bring it out for you to compare but they won't authenticate yours for you.

Same goes for the Holt Tiffany.

I've seen Jessica Simpson hold an LV bag with the logo upside down before. Its hard to say but would she sport a fake bag? Somehow I don't think so because she's known for having a love for LV items and she's constantly in the public eye so I doubt she'll do anything that will ruin her reputation.

Yikes!!! I feel really bad for that old woman with the fake Gucci! She'll never be able to show her face in that store again. Imagine her humiliation in front of everyone! But seriously, why would you walk into a Gucci store with an imitation on you? Unless she didn't know that it was fake. :confused:

1) check the stitching carefully, if its a fake..then the stitching will be curved or slanted.
2) check the fabric cuts, if its a fake..the cuts will be slanted, curved or rough.
3) check the font and size they use to print the brand name.
4) check the buckle, fakes will have flaws such as bubbles, different buckle style and even the strap may be different.

hope this helps.

cheers!

Basically, feel the texture of the leather and if the stitching is already frayed and the leather is cracked it's a fake.

feel it if its ahrd then its fake if it the leather feels soft then its real as well as the G's and zipper has to not look dull

Dude, you just bumped a 3 year old thread!

Since this is already bumped up, when I bought my gucci bag the lady told me they dont issue authenticity cards, there's a serial # engraved into a little leather patch on the inside of one of the pockets

face it folks with a quality replica gucci himself wouldnt even be able to tell the difference nor would giannininininninininiinini

i think anyone can tell, if u feel it with your hands , a real and fake are really different

some fakes are also expensive, and have been professionally made. you cant always tell so easily. theres cheap $10 handbag knockoffs, then theres $200 handbag knockoffs that could fool just about anyone.

if its real it should have a model number on the back of the inside tag should say gucci made in italy it should have a high quality feel and not look poorly made the stiching should also all be even and high quality nowadys its hard to tell some of the good fakes out there

Now why would you bump a 2 year old thread -.-

Follow the rules and post pictures in this forum. The experts will help you authenticate it.

Also, Gucci/LV/Hermes etc. boutiques will not authenticate something for you unless you have a good relationship with the SA or they are nice enough to tell you quietly. It is against their policy.
