How to Spot a Fake Gucci Handbag

If you want the best you have to pay for it and Gucci is one of the best purses out there. Because of this many retailers will try to sell you a scam or rather a knock off of the real thing. However, there are steps you can take to prevent this from happen.

The first thing you should always do is go to the Gucci website and study pictures. It will help you out a lot more by studying a real one with a fake one. There are many things to look at are the stitching. In any good designer handbag the stitching will be flawless. Inconsistent stitching or an odd number of stitches is a sure sign that you have a fake Gucci handbag.

The second thing you will want to look at is the materials. Most fakes are now being made of some of the best leather, yet it is still not as fine as the material that Gucci uses to make their handbags. Gucci handbags are made of a heavy duty material. If the material appears to be light or cheap looking than you know it is a fake. If you are not 100% sure than it is safe to assume it is not a Gucci original.

Also check the tags and logos. Most replicas will always mess up on the tags. Incorrect spelling and misplaced logos are just one more thing you can you look for. Gucci uses only one font. Watch for this as well as serial numbers on the inside of the handbag. Most replicas will use fake serial numbers but have been known to add one or two extra digits.

One more tip you should keep a watch for is the quality and look of the bag. A replica's coloring is usually uneven looking. Gucci is known for perfection. Their bags are perfect and smooth looking. If you are first time buyer the best thing you can do is compare a fake one with the a original Gucci handbag or buy at direct Gucci sellers to avoid getting a fake and ask questions. Some of the top replicas are Jackie-O and Bardot, who makes excellent Gucci fakes.

However, like most fakes it is still illegal so be careful of what you buy and who you buy it from. If the price is to good to be true than you have just bought yourself a fake Gucci handbag.
