How to Tell If Your Designer Bag is a Fake

When you live on a budget yet insist on looking stylish, your eyes are always peeled for bargains. Hence, the endless eBay search. But haven’t you noticed that many of those listings for designer goods, particularly bags and accessories, happen to look a little off? It’s time to learn the cruel truth: you’re carrying a fake.

As certain designers become households names (Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci), more people crave their goods. Thus, the counterfeit bag industry grows every day as another sucker buys a non-label. If your bag is being sold by a seller from an Asian country, there is a good chance it’s a fake. Since countries like China have vague intellectual property laws, they can get away with manufacturing replicas and selling them.

Always go and try to find the bag in person first. Check out the details very, very closely, because that’s where it matters.
