7 Ways to Distinguish Real Designer Bags from Fakes

By: Paris Liandre

Knock-offs of high-priced designer bags are becoming more and more prevalent. Sometimes they are so similar; it's hard to tell the difference! Here are some things you can look for.

While designer bags are made very well, the fake bags aren't. You'll find the fakes have patterns that don't match up, flimsy hardware, and cheap lining.

Designer bags are produced in regular and consistent shapes, sizes, and colors, so knowing exactly what color to look for, and the exact size and dimension of the style you want goes a long way in separating the genuine from the impostors.

The fake designer bags, including higher priced replicas are generally made in China. You'll find that these bags tend to run in the range of $100-$300 each.

Fake bags tend to have very cheap lining fabric inside the bag that is poorly attached to the bag's frame. The color and design of the fabric will give clues as well.

A real authentic designer bag is made nearly to perfection. Even the zippers, buttons, handles and other hardware are made of such high quality materials that they're unlikely to fall off or not work well.

A non-authentic handbag will likely be stiff and often will smell like chemicals used to treat the leather. In a real designer bag, the leather smells like leather.

If you learn that you ended up with a fake designer bag, it's not all bad! Counterfeit shopping has become something of a sport, much to the disappointment of luxury-goods makers. Fake designer bags are all over the place, it seems - so easy to buy that in some circles it's almost uncool to carry the real thing!
