There are several brands of handbags in the market now a day, like Louis Vuitton, Prada, D&G, Channel, Fendi, Gucci and Versace. These brands will cost us depending on a certain style and designs as much as $50,000.00 or much more higher for some. It’s okay to invest in these types of designer’s handbag as long as we know how to check its authenticity. And since I personally love to collect handbags, I made some research about it.

Here are some tips on buying a genuine designer’s bag:

  • · It’s best to buy on licensed retail stores.

· To ensure that you know the definite characteristics of the designer handbag that you want to avail. Check on the particular design and style that you want. Make sure to verify from the catalogue of the designer if such design do exists. , There are some fake handbags which are proliferating that looks like the real ones. It is handcrafted in such a way that with a first glance, you will really believe that it is an authentic bag.

· Another thing to consider is the distinguishing mark of the designer label. Example of this is that for Channel handbags, the logo is a double C which is placed back-to-back with each other. You should be cautious with the tags, care cards as well as the warranties that go with the handbags. There are original bags which only uses embossed tags while the replicas where printed. Be wary on such things.

· You should also check on the workmanship and the materials used for the bag. Designer bags are very 'clean' and efficiently made. There are no double stitches and there is consistent spacing in between each stitch. There is also a particular color of thread used by the designers. The zipper that is use to zip the bag usually has the name of the designer embossed in it. It is likewise made from good quality of zipper and is not easily damaged. It is likewise durable and can last longer than the bag itself. The leather of the bag feels leather when you touch it. It is not very smooth or shiny at all. The straps are not made from scraps or any extra materials. It has the same quality as the original leather of the bag itself.

· You should also be able to check the serial number of the bag. Designer handbags have its serial number. There are no the same serial numbers because the handbag manufacturer usually has the original list with them.

· These handbags are very expensive. There is a definite price range for each style and design. If a designer handbag is given to you at a very low price, you should be careful. This is a give away that the handbag is not authentic. There is no such thing as bargain designer handbags. Each handbag is valuable and there are a lot of individuals who would want to have one.

So there you go, I hope these tips will make us to be better and wiser consumers. Do not let your hard earned money go anywhere else. Save and purchase from reliable stores only.
