Knock Off Purses – Buying Tips You Must Know

In just about any kind of industry you can think of, there are always people trying to make money off of other people’s hard work. Such is the case with designer handbags and the fact that there are a lot of people who try to make knock off purses with the intention of making a living. While there are many people who support the efforts of knockoff specialists and scam artists, there are others who detest what they are doing because they contribute to a product losing its authenticity and value by creating knockoff versions.

If you are still interested in buying a designer purse but want to ensure that you are not getting knock off designer purses, there are some key differences you need to look out for so you can determine if what you are getting is the real deal.

First of all, the quality of a real designer handbag or purse simply cannot be matched by any imitation. You need to pay keen attention to details that are used in making the purse. The quality of the material, the sturdiness of the stitching, as well as the authenticity of the hardware used to keep the bag intact. Stitching for designer purses very rarely if ever start to fray. That means that if you are being offered a handbag that the seller says is an authentic piece, you should look out to see if any of the stitching seems to be fraying at any point. With some brands like Louis Vuitton, almost every piece of hardware used in its design has the “LV” symbol on it. These symbols are usually made from solid brass as well, as opposed to plated metal which is much cheaper to come by.

Many true designer purses have a specific type of lining that probably has their motif designed into it. And in some cases, just having a lining inside can tell you whether or not the bag you are getting is a true designer piece or one of many knockoff purses.
What is also good to look out for with designer purses is whether or not the logos used on the exterior of the purse are symmetrical. You will never see an authentic Coach handbag made with any of the “C”s not symmetrical or hanging over into where the corners of the bag are stitched. The logo is always symmetrical straight across the purse and any variation to that means that you have a knockoff in your hand.

Although you may not be an expert at designer handbags, using these key tips will help you determine if what you are getting is a true piece or something that somebody is trying to scam you with and get your money.
