I was recently in a store looking for a new bag and stumbled across a stunning Rebecca Minkoff one. I had wanted to buy this brand for so long and was delighted that I finally had the opportunity to. I couldn’t wait to show off my brand new bag to all my friends.
But something nagged at me, and I wondered to myself – are there fake Rebecca Minkoff bags out there? I’d heard horror stories of people who had bought an item that turned out to be a counterfeit. I had been so excited to show off this bag, so if it turned out to be a fake, I knew I’d feel beyond let down!
So I quickly started my research. After all, it would be better to know what I was getting myself into. After a few hours of spammy websites, I was able to find some solid information that was backed by reviews and testing.
The good news was that there are not very many knock offs of this brand around, but it doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The truth is that Rebecca Minkoff is considered a high end designer and therefore is going to be something counterfeiters will target.
The main thing to look out for when buying your Rebecca Minkoff bag is to watch where you’re getting it from. If you’re buying it from a reputable store or website, you’re highly likely to get a genuine bag. But if you find a suspiciously low price version online, chances are, it might be a knockoff. You should also watch for spelling errors in the brand name and the material it is made out of – if it doesn’t feel and smell right, it’s probably not right.
Another way to get a Rebecca Minkoff bag for sure is to purchase it pre-owned. I found my bag while browsing through some websites and was able to score a great deal on one that had barely been used. A pre-owned bag can often be just as good as a brand new one and you don’t have to worry about it being fake.
I also can’t forget to mention that you could always buy directly from the Rebecca Minkoff website. This way, you’ll get the real deal 100% of the time, but the price tag may be a little higher than other places.
Overall, when I was researching, I found that it is possible to find fake Rebecca Minkoff bags out there, but it also isn’t common. You just have to be sure you’re getting it from a trusted source, and if you’re ever in doubt, buy second-hand – that way you can be sure it’s genuine.
