If you’re a fan of Gucci, then it’s essential to get an authentic bag. In this guide, we’ll provide the following:
Various experts confirmed that the interior label is the #1 authenticity teller for Gucci bags. Look at the text and the serial number on the back!
Is it too hard? Reach out to our expert Gucci authenticators:
Flip the “GUCCI” tag over and you’ll reveal the serial number.
This is due to the fake character being engraved too deep into the leather.
Gucci is a high-end luxury brand[3] which puts lots of work and attention into every bag coming out of their factories.
Hence, such flaws shouldn’t ever occur on the original bags.
A quick mention:
If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.
Almost every Gucci bag has this exterior “GG” metal logo.
See how the authentic is also more “chrome” compared to the fake.
Generally, the fake threads have a smaller appearance compared to the original.
At the bottom of every handler is a pointy patch.
Very common with Gucci Totes.
There are two types of Gucci zippers: metal and leather.
We’ll look at each, beginning with the metal zipper.
Due to the high presence of fake Gucci items[4], even the little details like this stitching has to be analyzed.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to prove authenticity.
Open the bag and look at the flap on the interior side — a unique Gucci design[5] seen on any of their bags with flaps.
The authentic stitching look must be “boxier” compared to the fake.
When it comes down to real vs fake Gucci dust bags, there are two types.
The vintage (blue) and the modern (white). We’ll look at both.
