Examine the Stitching: Coach bags are known for their perfect, even stitching. If the stitching is sloppy, uneven, or has loose threads, it’s likely a fake.
Check the Hardware: Authentic Coach hardware is made of solid, heavy metal. Fakes often use lightweight, cheap metal that can feel flimsy. The logo on the hardware should also be engraved, not printed.
6. Gucci Bags
Look at the GG Pattern: The “G”s in a genuine Gucci bag’s monogram pattern should be symmetrical and perfectly aligned. The “G”s on a counterfeit will often be misaligned and of a different size.
Feel the Leather: Gucci uses very high-quality leather. If the bag feels stiff, plastic-like, or has a strange odor, it’s a sign of a fake.
7. Louis Vuitton Handbags
Inspect the Monogram: The Louis Vuitton monogram pattern should be perfectly aligned and symmetrical across all seams. The “LV” logos on a counterfeit are often cut off or misaligned at the seams.
Check the Stitching: Real Louis Vuitton bags have neat, even stitching with no loose threads. The threads are a distinct mustard-yellow color.
8. Prada Bags
Feel the Leather: Prada uses fine, soft, and supple leather. If the bag feels stiff or cheap, it’s a red flag.
Check the Logo: The “R” in the Prada logo on the hardware has a distinct notch in the leg. Counterfeits often miss this small detail.
9. Rolex atches
Check the Weight: Genuine Rolex watches are made from high-quality metals and have a substantial weight. A fake will feel light and flimsy.
Listen for the Tick: An authentic Rolex watch has a smooth, sweeping second hand with a silent movement. A counterfeit will often have a jerky movement and a loud ticking sound.
