Designer handbags of any kind are never cheap. That’s what makes it a special treat for a woman to indulge in for herself. So when paying out sometimes thousands of dollars for a special item like this, she wants to make sure that she isn’t getting a fake designer bag. So how does one tell if it is a real Juicy Couture handbag or a fake?

Almost every one of the Juicy Couture handbags will have small round metal knobs, or feet,usually brass, with the exclusive Juicy Couture signature engraved on it. There should also be a tag which says 100% Cowhide Leather. The fakes have cheaper imitation leather material. The authentic Juicy Couture designer handbags will have 100% leather handles. Real leather is very soft to the touch and has that “leather smell”. Even the metallic bags have a soft feel to them. If there are any charms or hardware on your Juicy Couture designer handbag, will have the Juicy Couture engraved on the metal.

Be sure to examine the quality of the bag. No sloppy stitching will ever be on a Juicy Couture handbag. The stitches are always even and neat. There will always be a “J” stitched onto the mirror fob which is always heart shaped. There will also be “I am the Fairest” on the mirror strap and “Hello?” on the cell phone pocket. These will be embossed and not painted on.

The colors of the fake bags will be in sharp contrast to those of the real Juicy Couture bags. Look at the color of the real bags online before you go out to shop. For example, the fake will be hot pink, not soft pink or teal, not light blue. The shape of the bag will be totally different on the fake bag as well.

Also check the authenticity tags of the bag. These should contain information about the designer and where to get in touch with them. Some fake bags don’t have them at all or they are off center. In addition, there should be a dust bag which is NOT plastic. You can compare these online to see what the actual authenticity tags look like.

If you see that the price is lower on the bag you get than what the same bag is listed for on the actual Juicy Couture site, then it is more than likely a fake. Report this to the Better Business Bureau because it is fraud. Make sure that you are buying a real Juicy Couture designer handbag.

Hermes Handbags

First, a little of the history behind the Hermès designer handbags. Since 1837, Hermès has specialized in leather, lifestyle accessories, luxury goods and ready to wear items. The Hermès logo, which hasn’t changed since 1950, is a Duc carriage with horse. The Hermès family were Protestant Germans who settled in France in 1828. In 1837, Thierry Hermès first established the Hermès name as a harness workshop on the Grands Boulevards portion of Paris. They were dedicated to serving Paris nobility. He created the finest made harnesses and bridles for the carriages. The Hermès designer handbags were soon to follow in production.

Hermès’s son, Charles-Emil Hermès, took over as manager of the company and relocated the shop to 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where it still operates to this day. This is where the company decided to branch out into retail sales. With the help of his sons, Adolphe and Emil-Maurice Hermès, the company was able to boast of such customers as the elite of Europe, North America, Russia and Asia. In 1900, the firm offered the Haut à ourroies, which were designed for riders to carry on their saddles. Shortly after the sons takeover, Emile-Maurice received the first patent for zipper use on leather clothing and other leather goods.

Some times you can find Hermes handbags offered online. If you are suspicious as to whether or not your Hermes designer handbag is a fake or an original, there are a few things to look for. First, you need to check under the right hand strap for a blind stamp with a circle or square that has the date when the bag was made. Hermes always uses a special numbering system. The year 2008 is the year L. There should also be a craftsman ID number as well. There are still other things to look for to make sure that your Hermes designer handbag isn’t a fake.

Check the closure hardware. Hermes handbags uses only palladium or 24K gold hardware. The fake handbags will use steel. Also check the stitchings which should be regular and in the same directions. Check the borders of the exterior leather and glue on the inside corners. There should be no irregularities. This should be very smooth surfaces. In addition, the zipper on the inside pocket should have a leather pull strip attached. This should run horizontal to the zipper.

A real Hermes designer handbag should stand up on it’s own. The hardware of the feet should match the other hardware pieces and should be screwed on securely. Smell the inside of the bag. It should smell of leather. The markings should read as follows- Hermes Paris, Made in France. These should be embossed in gold on the leather. Always make sure that you have a real Hermes designer handbag and not a fake. If, however, you do find a bag that is a fake Hermes, report them to the Better Business Bureau. It is a crime to sell fake designer bags.

The Gucci designer handbags never go out of style either.

These designer handbags complement any clothing in the modern woman’s wardrobe too. From the office to the grocery store, any situation is appropriate for this handbag. Of course, the imitation Gucci bags are much cheaper but some women do not want to make that sacrifice and only want the real thing.

The Gucci Hobo bags are made to fit snugly onto a woman’s shoulder. This way, the woman does not have to worry about the strap slipping down and being an annoyance. They have ample room for everything needed. They give a woman grace and finesse.

The wealthy woman knows all about the difference between a fake Gucci bag and the real thing. So here are a few tips on how to tell the difference between the two. Look inside the bag for an authenticity card. All of the real Gucci designer handbags have these inside. These are informational cards. They will have the model number as well as a bar code on them. This card is usually located inside one of the inner pockets of the bag This is the first clue that the Gucci designer handbag is the real thing.

Also, check the prices on the Gucci website and compare those with the other sites that offer the same bag. If the price is too good to be true then it probably is. Don’t be sucked in by a cheaper price when you really want the original quality item. That’s not to say that imitations are made cheaper but you never know for sure and if you are willing to pay the price for the acutal real thing then you shouldn’t have to settle.

Most of the authentic designer handbags have a logo on them and sometimes it is even in a particular place on the bag. Again, check with the actual designer website and take a very close look at the bag’s details such as the logo. The Gucci bag should have the letter G splashed all over it. Any name other than the designer should send up warning signals.

Another thing to look for is the signature lining inside the purse that most designers use. The designer’s monogram will be woven into the fabric. These linings are always of a smooth and silky material which are sometimes even satin. The color of the lining will always complement the color of the outside of the purse.

Never expect to get an exclusive designer bag from a street vendor. It just won’t happen. These are always the fake designer bags. There is no detail in the lining and the material inside is always very stiff. Always be sure that your Gucci designer handbags are the real thing.
