It can be really difficult to tell whether that fake Dolce bag you have been eyeing up is real or not. People are very clever these days when trying to make knockoffs look just like the genuine article and it can be tough to tell the difference. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting the real deal:
Firstly, the fabric: quality leather or canvas will feel heavy – not thin or flimsy. If it feels cheap, it probably is. And stitching should be close together, no visible gaps. It should also be even, not crooked.
Also, look for the label. The D&G logo should be raised with sharp edges, and the font should be the same across the board. If not, it’s probably not real.
Also, pay attention to details: Check the zippers and metal parts. Authentic Dolce bags will have a nice shine and finish without being garish. Fake versions could be made of a cheap metal with a bitten, dull look. And by the same token, the bag should be lined with quality material – almost as nice as the outer fabric.
In addition, a genuine version will come with two-way tags. They match D&G logos, colors, and fonts, and are sewn in at two points per tag. A fake version won’t have this detail.
Finally, know the price. Sure, everyone loves a bargain. But if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. So do your research and understand the true cost of a real bag, and then be sure to stick to that price range.
Another important thing to consider when telling whether a Dolce bag is real or not is its serial number. Most genuine bags have a serial number which the company can trace and use to tell it’s authenticity. Fake bags might look the same, but won’t have a serial number and can be easily spotted out.
When shopping for a Dolce bag, make sure to buying from the official Dolce website or from an authorized reseller for 100% assurance that you’re getting the real deal. It’s always important to take extra precaution before making any purchase. Make sure to read up reviews and follow any feedbacks to make sure the seller is reliable.
Be sure to inspect any product you plan to buy, too. You should always take a few moments to physically inspect the bag. Check for dull hardware, raised edges on the D&G logo, misspelled words, messy and loose stitches. Pay attention to any discrepancy and chances are, it is a fake.
Never buy a bag without valid authentication. If the seller won’t provide authentication, don’t buy it, no matter how good the deal is. Always ask for proof that it is authentic. The seller should provide you with a valid authentication certificate or authentication card. They should also provide a clear proof of purchase with a receipt. Make sure to keep these documents safe in case future authentication is needed.
Also never buy Dolce bags from flea markets or from sellers offering up bags on social media platforms. Buy from reputable retailers only to ensure you’re getting a real deal.
These are the valuable tips you should consider for authentication of real Dolce bags. Don’t be fooled by all the sophisticated knock-offs out there. Pay attention to the details, stick to your budget and shop with the right retailers to ensure you end up with a real item.
