How To Spot Knock Off Designer Clothing And Fashion Bag

By Sunny Lee

One trend that has sprung around the world from the marketing of expensive luxury designer clothing and fine fashion Gucci handbags is the commercial success of fake or knock off products. While at first glance these affordable, less expensive alternatives may seem like a bargain, in fact for the most part they are not. For one major thing, they are without exception, constructed to lower manufacturing standards and made from inferior materials.

While you may have a feel good at first, it won't be long when buttons start falling off and stitching comes out. While you will get the label of a branded product or designer on your product and in most cases that is usually where the similarity stops and reality begins. Designer clothing and high end fashion accessories are built to high standards and pass several stages of inspection before they are packed up for shipping.

In fact most knock off designer products rarely go through any inspection process, so in the end the only one that will be misled into thinking it looks and feels like an authentic designer product will be you. One problem that plagues the Web is people selling fake designer products as the real thing.

You can avoid being taken by these spurious merchants if you follow a few simple guidelines. Guideline number one is that if the deal seems too good to believe or to be true then it almost certain that this is a fake. Always consult with other online shoppers and try to stick with legitimate genuine designer clothes & Louis vuitton handbags online stores. Beware of obscure overseas sources of designer clothing and fashion accessories.

If you see a website that is offering cheap accessories or designer clothing that has to be shipped from Indonesia or China, then common sense should tell you that what they are selling is big time counterfeit. Also, it is now a legal requirement for websites to list full contact information and so if the online store doesn't, that would be an obvious red flag for fake and that what you are buying is fake.
