When it comes to spotting fake Celine bags there are certain key characteristics to look out for – and it doesn’t have to be super difficult! As the saying goes, “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is”, but with a few simple tricks you’ll be able to distinguish a real Celine from a fake.
First and foremost, when you hold the bag and feel the materials it’s made of, such as the leather or fabric lining, it should all feel of good quality. Celine bags are made with very luxurious materials, and are of the highest quality. If it feels like plastic or cheap materials, it’s probably not a real Celine.
Another way to test if it’s a real Celine is to look for the logo. The logo should be clearly embossed on the bag, and not printed, or a cheap iron-on sticker. On a real Celine bag you should be able to see and feel the logo being raised on the bag.
Also, if you can, try to examine the stitches on the bag. Real Celine bags will be made with extremely precise stitching that looks perfect and even. The stitches should also be of high quality – made with a heavy duty thread, and not with a thin, cheap thread.
In terms of the zipper, the zipper on a real Celine bag should have the engraved “Celine” logo on it, and it should be very durable and robust. You can test this by opening and closing it a few times, and it should be very smooth and with no stuck bits – no stuck zips!
It’s also useful to check the dust bag that the bag comes in. If it’s a real Celine, the dust bag should also have the logo and be of the same luxurious material as the bag itself, and have the brand name printed on it.
These are just some of the key ways to spot a fake Celine bag, but there are lots more out there if you want to research further. The key takeaway is to always buy from a trustworthy source and double-check the authenticity of the bag before making your purchase.
Let’s talk about the construction. A true Celine bag is made with excellent craftsmanship and quality that can be seen and felt. It won’t feel flimsy and the craftsmanship will be perfect. All straps will be well finished and aligned. The inside of the bag should also be made from a top quality material and feel smooth along all sides.
It’s also essential to note that the look and feel of a real Celine bag will be very consistent. The color of the bag won’t look off or patchy, and the logo won’t be randomly placed on the bag. It will be placed in a uniform way with all its details correctly aligned.
By now, you should be able to tell whether it’s a real or fake Celine bag. If all else fails, check the price tag! A true Celine bag will be much more expensive than a fake one.
Now let’s move on to the packaging of the Celine bag. All Celine bags come in their signature coral color dustbag with perfect silhouettes of the bag printed on it. The bag will also have the capital Celine letters to its side. And the name will be written in a dark font.
A real Celine bag should also include a dust bag with an envelope that has a book-like finishing. This envelope should also have the logo Celine, which should not be cut off in any way shape or form.
And lastly, it all comes down to the smell and feel of the bag, which should be quite natural and natural looking. The bag should not have an artificial smell like plastic! Additionally, the strap of the bag should also have a pleasant smell.
These are just a few of the ways you can spot fake Celine bags, but there are many more out there. To be honest, though, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is! So always consult with an expert if you can.

Furthermore, by visiting Celine’s official website you can check the bag’s serial number if it matches the bag in question.
Ready to buy a second-hand Celine bag? Then take a look at the straps first. Usually, the straps of pre-owned Celine bags should show some form of worn out texture due to the use. If the straps feel too new and smooth, it does raise some red flags as to the authenticity of the bag.
What about the colour of the bag? A real Celine bag should come in a range of neutral colors. While there might be exceptions to this rule, it would be wise to double-check by looking up the bag online and compare it to the one you’re about to buy.
It’s worth remembering that real Celine bags will not carry a huge logos. It will feature a minimalistic logo that is something like a stamp, which will be subtly printed onto the leather of the bag. If the logo looks tacky and overly detailed, it’s most likely not a real Celine bag.
Finally, here’s a tip: the out-soles of the bag should be made of sturdier materials, and just like the rest of the bag, should be clean and even. The outsole should not be cheaper materials like rubber, but it should be made of thicker leather.
