Bags are an important item for ladies, because aside from complementing their look

, these are also functional. Majority of fashion-conscious women set aside a portion of their income to purchase designer handbags. Unfortunately, with the growing interest for these high quality items, so has the number of cases of consumers ending up with counterfeit items instead. A designer clutch or bag is surely a source of tremendous joy for their buyers, but finding that it is a an imitationcan be disheartening. To avoid being scammed, here are some points to keep in mind when shopping for these signature bags.

Buy only from trusted vendors

The best places to purchase designer handbags are the manufacturer and its affiliated partners. Presume that any signature bag marketed at online auction sites, thrift stores or at the streets is an imitation. While it is not totally impossible to come across second-hand signature bags from these sources, the odds of you stumbling upon them is very slim.

Know the signs of imitation signature bag

Makers of these high-end bags are very demanding as to the quality of their products as their reputation hinges greatly on it. Makers of imitation bags on the other hand place more significance on potential income than reputation, so more often than not, they are not as focused on quality. The stitching on counterfeit products is often careless, slanted and irregular. Most high-end bags also use double stitching inside. Imitation bags usually have no inside tags, and if there are, these are not stamped or hand-stitched. Tags on original bags also usually have serial numbers, although this is not necessarily the case. Logos are also very revealing if the product is a fake. There are counterfeiters that produce an extremely convincing logo replica, but in many cases, wordings on the logos are spelled incorrectly or have noticeable design flaws. Original and fake bags can also differ in coloration. The difference is often difficult to spot, with imitation bags looking a tad brighter or less vivid than the original.

Leather bags are heavy, so if the bag you came across on the street or at the flea market does not have that distinctive heft, it probably is a fake.

Most makers of these high-end bags will distribute articles offline and on the Internet on how to spot imitation products, so make sure to check those out. Additionally, you can go to official stores and ask the experts there how to spot fake bags.

Ask for certificates of authenticity

Most designer handbags come with paperwork to show that they are 100% authentic, so ask for those if they don't come with the bag.
