LV,Gucci,Brand Handbags

While the basic cut, shape and size of the handbag may be identical with the original, small details like the lock, the zipper and even the inside pockets will be different. Sometimes the material itself will feel the same but the print will not.

Most real handbags have a “serial number” stamped on the inside, on a square patch of leather sewn into the lining. Some of the smaller purses (the “clutch,” the “swingpack” and the “mini”) do not have a serial number. The serial number typically consists of a series of numbers or a number-and-letter combination. The last 4-5 digits of the serial number indicate the style number. Careful, though, as some fakes also have a serial number - so just because it has a serial number does NOT mean it is authentic.

Also, Put special attention to cuffs, collar, buckles and other trimmings in the handbag that may point to a less than authentic finish.

Also, when buying make sure that you know the trademarks and symbols of designer labels as most designer knock-offs would not dare copy the exact trademark. Make sure then that the prints are clear and cleanly printed.

Hermes handbags, for instance, should have the Hermes Paris stamp while the Versace, Hugo Boss and Dolce and Gabbana should have the Authentic labels inside.
