•    Practice to be a human fake handbag detector. This can be fun and really challenging. All you have to do is familiarize yourself with the pictures of various celebrities who are sporting the latest handbags. For example, Ann Hathaway often carries a real fabulous tote handbag from Coach. There is also Jessica Simpson who has a line of elegant handbags under her name. The more you get to know the looks of the real and original designer’s handbag, the easier it will be for you to be a real human fake handbag detector!
•    Don’t forget to inspect the materials used for the handbag. Real designer handbags will never use cheap materials. They use authentic leather. You may find fake handbag with nice leather materials but these are not as luxurious as the real materials used by handbags like Coach, Fendi, Fossil, and Gucci. Even the zipper and accessories of real designer’s handbags are made with expensive and elegant materials. Some tags of these handbags are also made of real leather.
•    Inspect the small details of the handbag. Aside from the materials and accessories, check also the lining and stitching of the handbag. Real designer handbags have straight and even stitching. The lining of most designer handbags is also made up of one color. The linen should also be made of luxurious fabric like satin that has a very nice sheen to it.
•    Make an nspection of the designer’s logo. You can easily spot the fake handbag with the designer’s logo alone. Most designers usually place their product’s signature on the same part of their every bag so that buyers would know that it’s the real handbag. There are also designer’s handbags that come with authenticity card. This has the manufacturer’s logo that was embossed on the front. It may also come with a magnetic bag code strip, though this too may be replicated. Just check if the code strip is made of luxurious materials and you’ll know it’s a real elegant designer’s handbag.
