I was so excited when I heard that Supreme had released the much anticipated Waist Bag. I absolutely had to have it! But, I needed to be sure that what I was getting was the real thing and not a fake. I have had some really bad experiences with fake Supreme items before and I didn’t want to have an issue with the Waist Bag.
So, I did some research on the internet and found that there were some really subtle differences between the authentic and knock off versions. Most importantly, I learned that the authentic bags had a taped seal on the inside flap as well as a closer stitch line. The fake bags, on the other hand, didn’t have either of these features. Additionally, the price of the genuine bags was nearly twice the price of the knock offs, which is another sure-fire indication that it might not be an original.
I was still a bit unsure, though, so I ordered one from an online retailer that was known for authentic Supreme goods. Much to my delight, when the bag arrived it was right on the money! It had the taped seal and the closer stitch line that had been mentioned in the research. I was so relieved!
I was really glad that I had taken the time to do my research because now I was sure that my Waist Bag was one hundred percent authentic. I decided to take it with me when I went out and show it off. I felt like a hundred bucks with my new bag on my shoulder!
The next time I told my friends about my recent purchase they warned me to be careful because there were so many fakes around. I told them that I’d already done my research and was confident that I had the real thing.
I advised them to check the taped seal and the stitch line if they ever had questions about the authenticity of their bag. That way they could make sure they were being taken for a ride with a fake Supreme!
