Designer handbags are representing high-style and top-end of today's fashion. They are not just mere accessories anymore; they are high-luxury items and can cost hundreds and thousands dollars. And as anything worthy in this world, they attract attention of counterfeiters, and people start asking more often the same question: how to spot fake designer handbags.

They're actually several levels and types of fakes and some of them can't even be called fakes, but the point is – they're not a real thing and that's what counts. The biggest source of scammers of course is the Internet and as for anything what you cannot touch or try is harder to say how to spot fake designer handbags, yet there're a tips that you can have in your disposal.

First, check the price - real designer handbags don't cost tens of dollars, they start in hundreds and some brands in thousands. But if it costs a lot doesn't mean that it's a real thing – only if it doesn't means that it's not real.

Designer handbags are always made of high-quality materials, mostly leather, but fabrics are used as well sometimes. The quality of work is top of the line as well. So if you can have a closer look at a handbag, check the quality of materials used; you can check all stitching as well. Especially, check small pockets and other hard-accessible places – culprits can be hiding there. If something seems out of order or any problems with stitching – chances are it's a fake designer bag. Pay close attention to details specific for particular brands. Like Balenciaga handbags would slightly slouch if you put them on a flat hard surface because they're made of distressed goatskin, which give them this special feature.

Another thing to keep your eyes on is hardware and small accessories, such as zippers, locks, tassels, mirrors, metal corners, logos, and etc. Check if anything is missing or of pure quality. All these small accessories accent details of designer handbags and big brands always pay big attention that they are absolutely perfect. A note about logos: some scammers would not dare to use exact logo of a fashion brand, like Gucci can be intentionally misspelled as Guchi. In some cases it would be pretty obvious, but as many design houses are European (Italian and French in particular), sometimes it can be indeed confusing. So learn your tables and know exactly how the brand of a designer handbag you're after is spelled.
