Check
Out The "Serial Number"! One of the best ways to
ensure your new Fendi handbag is authentic is to look at the bag
itself. Replica Fendi bags are everywhere. Fendi handbags are popular
and cost as much as they do because first and for-most they are made
from quality materials. Take a good look at the stitching. There
should be no loose or missing stitches, the color of the thread
should match the main color of the bag and the stitches should be
evenly spaced. If the handbag is leather, the logo should be
engraved, not just printed on the leather.
Look
at the hardware. The hardware should
match in color and sheen. Many manufactures, including Fendi,
protect their hardware with a cover that is to be removed only after
it has been purchased. The brand name or logo should be engraved, not
embossed or simply printed on the hardware. You can also find the
brand name of logo engraved on the strap hardware on Fendi. Check out
as many 'PHOTOS' of fake Fendi bags as you can.
Inspect
the material, the lining, hardware and accents are made of. Many
handbags are made of different types of leather, from Lambskin,
Calfskin, Goatskin and Patent Leather, but it is easy to distinguish
if the leather is of a good quality or not. The lining is usually
made of a satin material that has a nice shine to it and most
designer handbags have the name brand name or logo on the lining but
not all do. Designers almost always use leather accents, not plastic.
Some purses have straps that are specially coated and seem to be
artificial. However a quick look at the edge of the strap, usually
near a stitched joint, should reveal a leather core.
The authenticity
card is a little card that usually has the manufactures logo
embossed on the front and has some information about the product you
purchased and sometimes includes a magnetic strip, bar code. Many
manufacturers, including Fendi, Doir, Gucci, and Kate Spade use these
cards but they can be replicated. Check out other fakes as well such
as Prada,
Juicy, Chanel, and Coach.
Usual the serial number on these is a give-a-way of a fake. |
