With all of this being said, let’s move on to the proper fake vs real Gucci GG Camera bag legit check guide.

How to spot fake Gucci GG bags

The fastest way to spot fake Gucci GG bags is to inspect the tag on the interior side of the Gucci bag which has “GUCCI” written on it. Most of the time, on the fake Gucci GG bags, you will see that the interior tag has the text looking different than the text on the legit Gucci bags.

Not only that, but even the stitching on the fake Gucci bags is thicker than the stitching on the authentic Gucci GG bags.

Step 1: Real vs fake Gucci GG Bag inner tag

As we said previously, we consider the inner tag being the most reliable sign of a fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag.

The front side of the inner tag

First of all, we will analyze the front side of the inner tag, and then, we will move to the rear side. Let’s see the real vs fake Gucci GG bag images in order to understand this easier.

Now that you had a look at the real vs fake Gucci GG bag images, let us explain the flaws on the replica Gucci bag.

Beginning with the stitching at the top of the inner “GUCCI” tag, you will easily notice on the replica Gucci GG bags how the stitches appear to be a lot different than the ones on the legit bags.

That is because the counterfeit Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bags appear to have their stitching shorter than the stitches on the authentic Gucci bags.

Besides, you will see how the fake Gucci GG bag’s stitching is also angled differently than the stitches on the legit bags.

In fact, the authentic Gucci bags have their stitching lines horizontally, while the fake Gucci GG bags have their stitches placed parallelly.

Then, moving to the copyright “R” symbol, you can see how, on the fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag, both the letter “R” and its circle appear to be way thinner than the two elements on the authentic Gucci GG bag.

Besides, the fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag also has its whole trademark (R) symbol looking bigger than the authentic character.

For the “GUCCI” text, you can see how the fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag has its letters looking a lot thicker/bolded and more massive than the letters on the letters on the authentic Gucci bag example above.

Lastly on the inner tag, the “made in italy” text on the fake Gucci GG bag appears to be a lot thinner and bigger in size than the “made in italy” print on the authentic Gucci bag.

It may be a bit difficult to remember all of this information, so, to make it clear, let us recap.

The fake Gucci bags will have:

1. Parralel and angled/rotated stitches

2. The copyirght “R” symbol too thin and too big

3. Thicker “GUCCI” text

4. Thinner “made in italy” text

The rear side of the inner tag

With all of this being said for the front side of the inner tag, let’s move on to the rear side of the real vs fake Gucci bag’s inner tag.

In the real vs fake Gucci Marmont Mini bag image above, we have pointed out the fact that the counterfeit Gucci GG Marmont Mini bag uses a different font for the numbers, while the authentic Gucci bags will always use the same font for their numbers on the rear side of the inner tag.

Step 2: Fake vs real Gucci GG bag front logo

Now that we made it all clear with the first step on how to spot fake Gucci GG bags, let’s move on to the second step of the real vs fake Gucci bag guide.

As for the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Gucci GG bags, we are going to analyze the front side’s metal “GG” logo on both the real vs fake Gucci bags.

In the Gucci Marmont Mini bag fake vs real image above, we have pointed out the fact that the fake Gucci bag has three main scratches on the buckle.

The authentic Gucci bags will never come from the factory with such scratches as the fake Gucci bag’s scratches which are present on the “GG” buckle.

Besides the scratching problems, we have pointed out the fact that, on the replica bag, the metal “GG” logo has a shining problem, which isn’t all the time due to the lighting, and it is pretty much in every sort of light.

The counterfeit Gucci bag’s “GG” front metal logo will always be less nuanced, coloured and shiny than the authentic Gucci bag’s “GG” logo.

Step 3: Check the pattern of the bag on the rear side

Now, you will have to flip your Gucci bag to its rear side and inspect the pattern of the stitching around.

As always, let’s take a look first at the reference real vs fake Gucci bag images.

In the Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag fake vs real image above, we have pointed out the fact that the stitches on the rear side of the fake Gucci bag appear to be less deep and fit into the bag than the stitches on the authentic Gucci bag.

Not only that, but you can see how the quality of the leather on the fake Gucci bag is worse than the leather on the authentic bag, due to the shininess.

The authentic Gucci bag will “reflect” the light that comes on the leather, while the fake one does that too, but obviously, less than the authentic one, and that’s a quantity of difference that’s visible with the naked eye.

Step 4: Inspect the Gucci GG bag from the sides

As for the fourth step of the guide on how to spot fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bags, we are going to analyze the shape of this bag from the sides.

In the real vs fake Gucci GG bag image above, we have pointed out the fact that the fake Gucci GG bag appears to have a “fatter” and a wider shape than the shape of the authentic Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bag.

Not only that, but we’ve also noticed how the metal area which the straps hang on is less curvy and wide on the fake bag, while on the authentic Gucci bag, the strap is bigger and wider.

Still, on the metal area, you can see how the fake bag appears to have its metal looking a lot shinier than the metal on how shiny the authentic Gucci bag’s metal strap is.

A quick mention:

  • The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
  • The next few steps are still reliable methods…
  • … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

Step 5: Verify the braces on the Gucci GG Camera Mini Bag

As for the fifth step of the guide on how to spot fake Gucci GG Marmont Mini Bags, we are going to analyze the braces on the real vs fake Gucci bags.

In the real vs fake Gucci bag image above, we have pointed out the fact that the leather area has a finishing which is round on the fake Gucci GG belt.

On the other hand, the authentic Gucci GG Marmont mini Bag has its finishing on the leather area looking like a square, unlike the fake bag which is round.

Step 6: Look at the chains of your Gucci GG bag

Most of the time, the counterfeit Gucci bags will have their chains different than the authentic Gucci bags’ chains. In order to see that, let’s have a quick look at the real vs fake Gucci bag images.

In the fake vs real Gucci bag image above, we have pointed out the fact that the counterfeit Gucci bags are most common to have their chains looking really beaten up and used, even though they are not.

The authentic Gucci bags which are taken care of will never have any chance to get to look as used and scratched as the fake Gucci bag’s chains represented in the fake vs real Gucci bag image above.

Step 7: Check if your Gucci Camera Mini bag has the amount of 9 chevrons

For the seventh and the last step of the guide on how to spot fake Gucci Marmont Mini bags, we have to count the chevrons on the Gucci bag.

In the image above, we have highlighted only an example of an authentic Gucci bag, which has an amount of 9 chevrons.
