American fashion designer Michael Kors says: “Buying a bag and a watch is no less serious than choosing clothes.” It’s hard to disagree with him, especially when it comes to branded products with a mind-boggling price tag.
Distinguishing a high-quality, and therefore expensive, item from a counterfeit is a damn difficult matter. But if you know what to look for before buying, then even a person far from the world of fashion and luxury manufacturers can do it.
So, It is recommended to pay special attention to the quality of materials, fittings and seams. It is important to remember about certificates and accompanying documents - they must be asked from an official representative.
How to distinguish an original Michael Kors bag from a fake
Every young lady who is interested in the world of fashion is familiar with backpacks and other accessories from Michael Kors. They are worn not only by ordinary girls, but also by many world celebrities - the item can be seen in the hands of Charlize Theron or Jennifer Lopez.
But if stars buy a guaranteed luxury item, then an ordinary fashionista may run into a fake. To avoid this unpleasant situation, you need to pay special attention to some details before purchasing.
Initial inspection: packaging, label, equipment, documents
The branded handbag is always placed in a special sand-colored dust bag. On the side there is a logo - Michael Kors. But don’t be alarmed if, instead of a duster of the mentioned color, the bag “arrived” in a light yellow or white package. In the latter, the product is sold in the United States, which means the buyer overpaid for delivery. Yellow says that the goods have been gathering dust in the warehouse for more than one year - handbags were received in containers of this color several years ago. The item itself is wrapped in bamboo paper, secured with a branded sticker.
Reference. If glue is visible on the seams, it's fake.
Accessories
When finishing original bags, high quality metal is used. The boundaries of the elements are clear and expressive. The “dog” and other accessories are decorated with the brand logo, the letters are clearly visible and have the same size. Plastic elements and the absence of an emblem indicate counterfeiting.
How to distinguish original Michael Kors watches
The company produces not only trendy bags and backpacks, but also original wristwatches. Despite the fact that they are cheaper than their competitors, they are counterfeited quite often. Moreover, counterfeit can be different:
- Inexpensive fake. Such counterfeiting is visible to the naked eye. Low quality materials, unclear letters and numbers, no accompanying documents, no leatherette-lined box, and other details.
- High-quality imitation. It is quite difficult to distinguish from the original. In terms of price and quality, they are often not inferior to branded walkers.In this case, the risk of purchasing a product with a low-quality internal mechanism under the guise of luxury increases.
A little advice. Experts recommend buying watches only in branded stores or departments that are the official representative of the brand. You also need to pay attention to the cost - too low a price should alert you. The price tag for branded watches starts at $140.
But knowing a few subtleties, you can easily distinguish a genuine watch from an imitation.
Packaging, tag with serial number
Branded products are always delivered in stylish boxes. The case should be lined with genuine chocolate-colored leather. On the lid and side of the package there is the brand logo - Michael Kors.
All of the above signs will help even an inexperienced buyer distinguish branded Michael Kors items from fake accessories. The main thing is not to be lazy and pay enough attention to each characteristic.
