If you are looking for a guide on how to spot fake Gucci Supreme Messenger bags, you are in the right place.

In this fake vs real Gucci Supreme Messenger bag guide, we are going to teach you how to authenticate Gucci Supreme Messenger bags in just a few simple steps.

Along with each step of our real vs fake Gucci Tiger Head bag legit check guide, we are going to link Gucci Tiger Head bag fake vs real images so that each spot will be easy to follow and understand.

The fastest way to spot a fake Gucci Tiger Head bag is to check the label inside the bag, as the counterfeit Gucci Supreme Messenger bags never have their text and stitching in tune with the details found on the legit Gucci Tiger Head bags.

How to spot a fake Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger

Step 1: Real vs fake Gucci Tiger Head bag interior label

As we’ve previously mentioned, we consider the label inside the Gucci Tiger Head bag as the most reliable sign of authenticity when speaking of the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bags.

Therefore, this is why we are starting this fake vs real Gucci Supreme Messenger bag legit check guide with the interior label.

The front side of the interior label

First of all, let’s have a quick look at the reference real vs fake Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bag image in order to properly analyze the two bags.

In the Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bag image above, we have pointed out a few main flaws visible on the fake bag.

First of all, looking at the top of the bag, we have pointed out on the authentic bag how the stitching is thick, short, and how each stitch is angled at the same level.

On the other hand, the replica Gucci Tiger Head bag has its stitching improperly weighted, as some of the stitches are thicker and other stitches are thinner than they are supposed to be.

On top of that, the fake bag also presents a few jump-stitches, leaving blank space that can’t be found on the authentic Gucci Tiger Head bag.

Then, looking at the registered trademark “®” symbol, you can see in the real vs fake Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bag image above how the fake Gucci Tiger Head bag has its symbol engraved too deep into the label.

On the other hand, the same inscription found on the authentic Gucci Tiger Head bag is thinner and engraved less deep into the label.

Look at the “GUCCI” and at the “made in Italy” text, you can see in the Gucci Supreme Messenger bag fake vs real image above how the fake item has its text also looking too thick.

The authentic Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bag has its text at a lower font-weight since it is also engraved less deep than the fake bag’s text.

The rear side of the interior label

Now, let’s also have a look at how the label is supposed to look like on the rear side.

By “rear side” we are talking about the same label found on the interior side of the bag, but this time flipped-up and now taking a look at the printing on the rear side.

In the image above, we have illustrated how the label found on the rear side is supposed to look like.

As you may notice in the image with the authentic Gucci Tiger Head bag above, we have pointed out how the authentic bag has its numbers, which are the product ID code, at the same font-weight.

The replica Gucci bags usually have their text on the rear side of the bag’s interior label at different font-weights, while the text found on the authentic bags is always at the same font-weight.

Step 2: Fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag exterior GUCCI patch

Proceeding to the second way on how to authenticate Gucci Tiger Head bags, we are going to check out the reference real vs fake Gucci Supreme Messenger bag image in order to properly check the exterior patch.

In the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above, we have pointed out how the fake Gucci Supreme Messenger bag has its letters in the “GUCCI” text looking too thin and big.

On the other hand, the letters on the authentic bag is thicker and smaller than the text found on the fake bag.

At the same time, you can also see in the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above how the fake bag has its letters looking scrapped and worn-out.

This worn-out look can be encountered even on used authentic bags, so we do not consider it to be a reliable sign of authenticity.

On the other hand, the thickness flaw is a reliable sign of authenticity, which we recommend that you always check when you have to verify the authenticity of a Gucci Tiger Head bag.

Step 3: Check the tiger totem on your Gucci Supreme Messenger bag

Moving on to the third way on how to spot fake Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bags, we are going to have a look at the tiger totem.

First of all, let’s inspect the reference real vs fake Gucci Tiger Head image below.

In the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its totem looking too dark when compared to the one on the authentic bag.

At the same time, the fake bag’s tiger totem uses a different texture when compared to the authentic bag.

By that, we mean that the fake bag’s tiger totem is a bit too detailed when compared to the tiger totem on the authentic bag.

We have also pointed out the stitching on the fake bag, which you can see in the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above, how it is too thin on the fake bag, and how the same stitching all around the patch is thicker on the legit item.

Step 4: Verify the pattern of your Gucci bag

Moving forward to the fourth way on how to spot a fake Gucci Tiger Head bag, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Gucci Supreme Messenger bags for the pattern all around the bags.

In the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above, we have pointed out how the fake Gucci Supreme Messenger bag has its “GG” monogram pattern looking too dark and thick.

On the other hand, the authentic Gucci Tiger Head bag has its “GG” monogram pattern looking lighter and thinner than the one on the fake Gucci Tiger Head bag.

The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.

The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.

Step 5: Look at the strap of your Gucci Tiger Head Supreme bag

For the fifth way on how to spot authentic Gucci Tiger Head Supreme Messenger bags, we are going to have a look at the strap of the bags.

And as you may be used to already, we are first going to have a look at the reference fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image below, and then we’ll explain the flaws on the fake bag.

In the Gucci Tiger Head Supreme bag fake vs real image above, we have pointed out how the fake bag’s strap has its red stripe on the strap looking too thick and wide.

On the other hand, the authentic Gucci Tiger Head Supreme bag has its strap’s red stripe looking thinner and narrower than the one found on the fake bag.

Step 6: Fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head Supreme bag zippers

Going to the sixth way on how to spot fake Gucci Tiger Head bags, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Gucci Supreme Tiger Head bags for the zippers.

In the fake vs real Gucci Tiger Head bag image above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its text on the zippers looking too thin.

On the other hand, the authentic Gucci Tiger Head bag has its text engraved deeper into the metal of the zippers, therefore being thicker than the text found on the fake bag’s zippers.

Step 7: Look at the dust bag of your Gucci Tiger Head bag

As for the seventh and last step on how to authenticate Gucci Tiger Head bags, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Tiger Head Gucci bags for the dust bags.

fake vs real gucci supreme messenger bag

In the Gucci Tiger Head bag fake vs real image above, we have pointed out how, first of all, the fake Gucci bag has its “GUCCI” text looking too thin, and how, second of all, the fake bag also has extra hanging threads.

The counterfeit Gucci Tiger Head Supreme bag also has white stitching spots on the black borders of the “GUCCI” label, white stitches which you will not find on the authentic Gucci bags’ dust bag.

At the same time, keep in mind that extra threads and thin text are not things that are compromised in terms of quality by the authentic Gucci factories.
