Buying Genuine Designer Handbags

One of the biggest challenges with buying a handbag online is in ensuring that the bag you buy is authentic. The internet is awash with fakes and the last thing you want to hear is that the coveted coach handbag you’ve purchased turns out to be a fake. Although you can do little to eliminate the risk, there are a number of steps you can take to reduce the risk of buying a fake designer handbag. Follow these simple steps and when you buy that coach handbag you know you’ve got an original.

How do you check for authenticity? For starters here are some basic steps to consider:

If you’re buying from an auction, where some of the best bargains are to be had, ensure you check the feedback score of the seller. This is by far the surest way of knowing whether you’re dealing with a genuine reputable seller or someone who is simply out to make a quick and easy buck. The best sellers will have multiple photographs of the item for sale, where you can inspect the quality of the workmanship. As you’d expect expensive designer handbags should have impeccable workmanship, and not a single stitch should be out of place.

Most cheap imitations are made in the far-east. As a result of English being a second language in this part of the world, there are often misspellings on labels and even on logo’s. Look for these telltale signs to spot on obvious fake.

Finally always remember there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If someone offers to sell you a prada handbag for less than $30, you can be sure that you’re dealing with a fake. European labour costs, along with huge brand recognition ensure genuine designer handbags are very expensive. If the price is too cheap….buyer beware.
