Are you a fashion-savvy looking for the perfect designer bag to complete your look? Do you want to make sure that the bag you're buying is authentic and not a knock-off? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you're in the right place!

 

1. Check the Price


One of the easiest ways to spot a fake designer bag is to check the price. If the bag is being sold for a fraction of its original price, then it's likely a fake. Designer bags are expensive for a reason - they are made with high-quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship. So, if the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

2. Inspect the Materials

Another way to determine if a bag is authentic is to inspect the materials used. Designer bags are made with high-quality materials such as leather, suede, and canvas. The stitching should be even and straight, and the hardware should be sturdy and well-made. If the materials look cheap or the stitching is uneven, then the bag is likely a fake. One way to know if a bag is real is to authenticate with trustworthy sources, like we do here at RETYCHE, by using Enthrupy. It is an artificial intelligence technology used to analyze materials and authenticate bags.

 

3. Look for Authenticity Cards and Serial Numbers


Most designer bags come with authenticity cards and serial numbers. These cards and numbers verify that the bag is authentic and not a knock-off. Make sure to check for these cards and numbers when buying a designer bag. If they are missing or the numbers don't match up, then the bag is likely a fake.

4. Buy from a Trustworthy Seller

Perhaps the most important tip for buying an authentic designer bag is to buy from a trustworthy seller.
