That Louis Vuitton designer bag you recently purchased from a street vendor doesn’t seem to be holding up too well. You still expected it to last a while even though you didn’t pay much for it. After all, it is a designer bag.

Fake designer bags may be a bigger draw to New York City than the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building combined. Just because the person selling it tells you it’s a designer bag doesn’t necessarily make it so. You may want to ask yourself why the bag is so cheap and why it’s being sold in that location when you’re tempted to purchase inexpensive “designer” goods from someone selling various items from a makeshift sidewalk stand. The answer is just as simple as, “because it’s either stolen or a knock off.”

So how can you recognize if your designer bag is a fake designer bag (or other real fashion products)? There are a few giveaways from the cratmanship view. For instance, the lining of a real designer handbag should be sewn, not glued. Stitched-in lining doesn’t exactly make your inexpensive designer bag a true original, however. The craftsmanshipthe stitching look like should be sturdy. Real designer bags last for years and don’t get worn out after carrying a cell phone and lipstick for two weeks. Stitches shouldn’t pull and the lining should stay snug but not puckered. That’s why the workmanship and details should reflect its high price tag.

Where do you buy the designer bag? Your biggest clue should be the location where they sale it. Anyone selling “designer” bags from a trash bag or blanket probably is not an upstanding citizen. I could say that if your sales person can pack up the store and run every time a police car is spotted, there’s a good chance he’s not selling the real thing. Usually designer goods are not sold in parks, kiosks, or out of the trunk of a car. Please remember that the location is key, where you can purchase legal copies or “replicas.”. You probably will not find a true Prada bag, or its approved knockoff, sold from a garbage bag on some street corner. Legal knockoffs are only sold by vendors licensed to sell such goods.
For your information, in some cases, attorneys for companies like Rolex go after the main distributors of fake merchandise. When these attorneys identify the source, they turn that information over to law enforcement.

Be sure to always check the material on the front of that designer bag. A real designer bag won’t look as if it just came off a conveyor belt, and make sure it’s not mass produced. The seams will match and patterns will be straight. When you look at a bag with a pattern and the pattern appears to be slightly off, the chances are good that you’re holding a knockoff in your hands. A true designer bag will spare no expense at giving you the best product, that how you identify the bag made from the highest quality material or the cheapest mass market leather.

By knowingly purchasing knockoffs, you are encouraging, and in fact, participating in illegal activity, that will give you enough to ponder of your real designer bags. Some might even consider it aiding and abetting. You probably won’t have to wear handcuffs, the bag can be confiscated and you will lose some money if you are seen purchasing a phony bag.

So if it is so important that you purchase a designer bag, make a visit to a department store or the designer’s own shop. Check outlet shops or sample sales for discounted designer merchandise. I believe many designers will also sell merchandise from past seasons at a discount. Remember, you get what you pay for. Is it really a bargain to pay $100 for a $700 bag if it falls apart two months later?
