Written by fashion on April 12, 2009 – 10:08 pm

If you are planning on purchasing an authentic designer handbag, you need to be on the look out for fake designer handbags. While there may be some obvious ways to tell whether or not you are getting a fake designer handbag and not an authentic designer handbag, sometimes it is not as apparent. For example, if you are looking at a handbag out of the back of a van or on a street market in a major city, chances are that it is not an authentic designer handbag. However, if you are looking in a small boutique, it is still quite possible to get ripped off by a fake designer handbag. Here is some information on spotting an authentic designer handbag.

Small Details

Extreme attention to detail is what makes designer handbags cost so much. An authentic designer handbag will have had numerous hours of hand labor put into it. There will be no machine assembly line putting together an authentic designer handbag. Fake designer handbags, however, will most likely have been assembled on an assembly line. Because of this, there will not be the attention to detail that you will find with an authentic designer handbag. You might find small nicks or tears in the material or puckers in the threads on a fake designer handbag. In addition, the material itself will not be nearly as high quality as a real designer handbag. The fake designer handbags might be fake leather handbags instead of real leather, or fake animal fur lining instead of real animal fur lining.

Logos And Brand Names

The logos and brand names of the designer's on the purses are what make a designer purse a designer purse. Without the label or the logo, people would not notice if it was a designer handbag or not. An authentic designer handbag will have the correct logo and brand name or label on the purse where it should be. Be sure to research the brands that you are going to be looking at in the store before you actually go. If you do that, then you will be able to spot the smallest differences that make a designer purse a fake. For example, an authentic designer handbag will have the designer name spelled correctly. A fake designer handbag might have one letter missing or two letters inverted in the designer’s name.
