How to buy genuine fashion items

By Calrissa Laster


With many fashion bargains on the internet and in the stores that appear too good to be true just how do you spot the genuine discounts from the fakes? It's an ever-increasing issue as countless people that go shopping for designer labels can't tell the difference before it's too late. Follow this advice I've come up with to assist anyone who is lost.

With both bags and designer label denims you want to to look closely at the stitching since it will almost always be hand-stitched on real merchandise. You also want to check that all the logos or labels lineup properly with the stitching as top rated manufacturers will not let an item depart the factory without a check.

Some major designer clothes costing over a thousand bucks will have certificates of authenticity from the maker. Needless to say these documents can be faked also but it's considerably harder to do.

One of the more obvious methods to know if the product is a counterfeit is the cost. That old saying if something if is just too good to be true works since if you come across a DKNY handbag on eBay for only a few dollars then you can bet it's a counterfeit. Don't take the gamble with likely fakes.

It's good to be careful the place you shop as a respectable store will not gamble their reputation with counterfeit products. Also remember many leading designers will only market their goods to recognized boutiques and internet based stores. They will not ever sell to flea markets or street traders regardless how desperate they may be!

Perhaps these pointers can help you next time you go searching for the newest fashions. Hopefully this doesn't put you off looking for great discounts as they are really plenty out there but having said that it always pays to be careful.
