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 There are many ways to tell if they are fake.
