Is My Bag Real or Fake?

Many fake designer bags now look remarkably similar to genuine items, making it difficult to tell the difference.

Every item is carefully reviewed using a combination of specialist knowledge, authentication technology and brand-specific checks to help determine whether it is genuine.

Depending on the brand, this may include an assessment of materials, craftsmanship, hardware, stitching, date codes, serial numbers, stamps and other identifying characteristics.
