Sie haben eine YSL bag
And you’re not sure if it’s authentic

How to Tell If a YSL Bag is Authentic

The answer is: Check if the “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” engraving has the same thickness for all letters. Fake bags never have the right font-weight for their inscriptions.

1. Innenetikett

Authentisch: The authentic text is thicker
Fälschung: “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” is too thin.

Also, see how the fake “MADE IN ITALY” print is too tall compared to the real one.

Authentic bags must be flawless. YSL is one of the top brands in the luxury industry.

2. Handler

Authentisch: Rich stitching density.

3. SLP Engraving

You’ll find this on the other side of the label we’ve just looked at.

Authentisch: Thinner print and stitching.
Fälschung: Text and stitching are too thick.

4. YSL Initials

This is the YSL metal logo outside the bag.

Authentisch: Thicket letters which come out of the bag.
Fälschung: Dünnere Buchstaben.

5. Zipper

Authentisch: Thinner, smaller “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” engraving.
Fälschung: Very thick text — also too big.
