Autêntico: Very much thinner logo and inscriptions.
Falso: Thicker logo and text.

Autêntico: Thinner stitching and text.

5. Tilting
Autêntico: Perfectly on the ground on both sides.
Falso: The bag tends tot angle to the left — hence, the right side is floating.

6. Strap
For most bags, the strap is a chain.
However, it’s also common seeing leather on authentic bags.
Autêntico: Light color, reflecting any light landing on top of the chain.
Falso: The spikes are not as reflective of light a s they should be.
7. Spikes
Autêntico: Shiner spikes, but less light-reflective buckle.
Falso: The spikes are too dark, while the buckle is too light and reflects too much light.
