Packaging
Authentic luxury goods come with high-quality packaging, while counterfeit items often have substandard packaging or misspelled brand names.
Fonts and Typesetting
Counterfeits often get fonts and typesetting wrong, with variations from the original branding or misaligned text.
Country of Manufacture
Authentic products often list the country of manufacture clearly, while counterfeit goods may omit this information or include incorrect details.
Return Policy
Counterfeit sellers may have a no-return policy or complicated return procedures, while legitimate sellers typically offer straightforward return options.
Serial Numbers
Counterfeits may lack serial numbers or have numbers that don't match the brand's formatting, which can usually be verified with the manufacturer.
Price
If a designer item's price seems too good to be true, it likely is a counterfeit. Authentic luxury goods typically retain high prices.
Spelling and Grammar
Mistakes in spelling and grammar on labels, instructions, or packaging can indicate a counterfeit product, as authentic goods have thorough quality checks.
Weight and Density
Authentic goods are often heavier and denser due to the use of quality materials. Counterfeits may feel lighter and flimsier.
Seller Reputation
Purchasing from reputable sellers reduces the risk of encountering counterfeit goods. Unauthorized sellers are more likely to distribute counterfeits.
Quality of Lining
The interior lining of genuine fashion goods is often of high quality and well-attached, while in counterfeit items it may be poorly fitted or made of low-quality material.
Material Quality
Authentic fashion items are usually made with higher quality materials than counterfeits which often feel cheaper, thinner, or less durable.
Brand Logo Accuracy
The brand's logo or name might be misspelled, poorly printed, or have slight deviations from the official design in counterfeit items.
Zippers and Hardware
Counterfeit products often have low-quality zippers or hardware, which may tarnish easily, break, or operate roughly.
Authenticity Cards or Certificates
Genuine items often come with authenticity cards or certificates that counterfeit products lack or duplicate poorly.
Stitching Quality
Counterfeit goods often have poor stitching quality, with uneven or loose stitches, indicating low manufacturing standards.
