It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish authentic Gucci handbags from the forgeries, partially because of the fact that there are not as many distinguishing factors of authenticity. Fake Gucci purses and handbags are many times so good that one needs an authentic bag for comparison.

Protect yourself! It is easy to find discount Gucci bags that are actually authentic. Continue reading below for some general characteristics for comparison, and also some specific tactics that Gucci counterfeiters will use.

Telltale Signs of Counterfeit Gucci Bags

1) One obvious sign (and an all-too-common one) is an inaccurate logo on the face of the bag. Things to look out for are incorrect font sizes and letter spacing, (both in relation to one another and to the entire tag), misspellings, and capitalization errors. They do happen!

2) On monogrammed bags, look at the G’s. You’re looking for overall shape and clarity. Fakes will sometimes have fatter G’s that bleed out like old tattoos.

3) Examine the colors on any potential purchase. Some forgeries will have less vibrant, or even distressed hues, especially with the green and red webbing or lining.

4) Examine the overall construction and stitching of the item. Stitching should be even, neat, and tight.

5) Many fake bags will still contain the word “authentic” somewhere, but nearly ALL authentic ads will contain the word authentic. If “authentic” is missing, don’t buy.

6) “Gucci Made in Italy” must be embossed in gold on some part of the handbag or strap. It could also say “Gucci Parfums.”

7) The handbag handles on some counterfeits might appear much thinner and longer than authentic Gucci bags.
Satchel bags come in brown and blue logo vinyl, trimmed with complementary leather. They will always have a twill racing stripe somewhere on the bag. Either down the middle and up the back, or as ribbons on each end of the handles. There will be a red and green stripe on the brown Gucci Accessory Collection bags and a blue and red stripe on the navy blue doctor bags in the G.A. Collection.

Keep this in mind: If it looks too good to be true, it is. But you can still find fashion handbags wholesale by connecting directly with sellers. Just know how to spot the fakes and always buy with your credit card!
