How can you tell an authentic handbag vs. fake handbag?2 replies

I just bought gucci bag, it says “authentic” for a great deal. I got the bag and it looks very really. But am scared if its not. It smell new.

how can you tell, and those websites that sell authentic handbags at a great deal, are they real.

• i would like know reliable suppliers or manufacturers of fashion hand bags in bangkok &about shipping to india
• fashion bags?
• Is there anyone want fashion stocks of shoes,clothes,bags,fashion accessories?
• Finding direct marketing companies for bags and fashion products?
• Where's good site to discuss fashion such as bags, shoes, etc?

   There are many ways to tell if they are fake. Quite a few of them are good quality and look very real. Many things that tell fakes apart from real ones are stitching, alignment of the pattern, quality of the leather (if it is real leather), the lining (it’s usually suede), and the zipper (they’re usually heavy duty- many are made by a company called Lampo).

   However, ALL websites that sell authentic handbags for good deals are fake- Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and other luxe handbag companies carefully monitor who sells them.
   You can only buy these handbags from Macy’s/Bloomingdales or another fancy-ish department store, boutiques (as in a Gucci flagship store) or one internet exception- eluxury.com
