Last Updated on April 25, 2024 by Ch David

You’re probably here because:

• You have a Givenchy bag
• And you don’t know if it’s a dupe
• So you need to check its authenticity

Fear not, this is the definitive guide to spot fake Givenchy bags. We’ll use the Givenchy Antigona for reference.

How to spot a fake Givenchy bag

Spotting fake Givenchy Antigona bags made easy: Focus on the ‘GIVENCHY MADE IN ITALY’ label for quick authentication.

1. Interior label

1.1. Front

• Fake:
  • “GIVENCHY” text appears narrower compared to the authentic bag.
  • The “Y” in “GIVENCHY” is smaller and tighter than the authentic.
• Fake:
  • “GIVENCHY MADE IN ITALY” printing seems deeper than the authentic bag’s text.
  • Especially noticeable on “MADE IN ITALY.”

1.2. Back

Your Givenchy bag has a serial number on the back of the interior.

In this case, the authentic one reads “MP B 0157”.

• Fake: Different font used for characters on the fake bag compared to the authentic one.

2. Metal logo

• Fake: In the given fake vs. real Givenchy Antigona Medium bag comparison:
  • Observe the spacing issue between letters “I” and “V.”
  • Thicker letters, especially on “C” and “Y,” distinguish the fake bag.
• Authentic: Maintains consistent spacing between letters and uses thinner fonts, as seen in the comparison.

3. Shape

• Fake: Has a disproportionately wide shape.
• Authentic: Maintains a more balanced and accurate shape, as illustrated in the comparison image.

4. Carbines

• Fake: Less defined and legible compared to the text on the authentic bag’s carbines.
• Authentic: Clearly defined and easily readable “GIVENCHY” printing on the carbines.

Shortlist: Authenticate your Givenchy bag on the go

Sometimes, a thorough step-by-step authentication isn’t feasible when assessing your Givenchy Antigona Medium bag.

That’s why we’ve created a quick 60-second solution for authenticating your bag.

1. Interior Label: Check for narrower and deeply stamped letters on the front side, with a different font on the rear side compared to the authentic bag.
2. Exterior “GIVENCHY” Text: Verify the spacing between letters and their thickness; fake Givenchy Antigona Medium bags tend to have excessive spacing and thicker letters.
3. Shape: Observe the bag’s side profile for excessive curvature, which is a common feature in fake Givenchy Antigona Medium bags.
4. Metal Carbine Text: Inspect the “GIVENCHY” text on the metal carbines for clarity and legibility; fake bags often have less readable text compared to authentic ones.
