Check clasps, buttons, and zippers 1:15
Pay attention to the materials 1:49
Check tags and labels 2:15
Take a closer look at its serial number 2:41
An expensive handbag always has expensive packaging 3:03
Each brand has its very own distinct characteristics 3:25
SUMMARY
- All of the stitches should be perfectly even, and there should be no loose threads or any other visual defects or imperfections. All genuine designer handbags are handmade.
- Pay special attention to small things like metal clasps, buttons, zipper pulls, plates, and locks. Their quality should be perfect, and they should have a number or a name printed on them, which is another sign of quality and authenticity.
- A famous brand doesn’t use rough leather. They only use fine, high-quality materials. When you touch them, you feel like you are in paradise.
- Fake items often have the brand names printed in different fonts, smudgy letters, or even with misspellings. Tags and labels are always a giveaway.
- The label with the number is sealed and attached in a special way, making it impossible to remove without damaging. Fake items usually have a sticker with a number that has just been glued somewhere on the surface.
- An expensive designer handbag always has expensive packaging, often made of the highest-quality materials. The package your precious bag comes in should have no color defects whatsoever.
- Before visiting a store, do some research on the specific attributes of the chosen brand. Remember - each brand has its very own distinct characteristics.

What would you chose, a fake designer handbag or a high-quality one at a lower price?
BRIGHT SIDE couch bags and price
BRIGHT SIDE Hhhmmmm, not that I’m greedy by ANY means, but can I have one of each made by every single designer?
What? A high quality one at a lower price???? Or do you mean high quality at a higher price?
İ would choose bags that are food made.
I'd buy the high quality lower price bag.
If you look at the price tag and don't go 'Yikes!', it's a fake.
asphodelale 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
What if people are selling fakes at high prices?
What if you're buying used?
@@controversyqueen8951 nowadays the ones that sell the fake items for a high price are venders from Venezuela.

I learned a lot watching Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank! Now, here’s a billionaire who never buys expensive, overpriced anything. She revealed that all her jewelry is costume jewelry and she never pays more than $40 for one piece. Also, her tote bag was purchased at Marshall’s and she had it repaired twice...... that was it, my Louis Vuitton and Chanel bag went on eBay..... I just purchased a gorgeous summer bag for $30 and received numerous compliments already.... never too old to learn. No more designer bags for me. Also, how about those gals who sling a huge Louis Vuitton over their shoulder and dress like they’re going out to mow the lawn or can’t afford to pay their bills. Done
Donna Hyman also they act so snobby about them. I enjoy Louis Vuitton for the long lasting quality I have the shoes, belt, wallet, key cases and phone case. They buy it because it make them look ritzy. I have found that white women could care less about talking about Louis Vuitton to other fans. But black women appreciate them more and love to talk about them. That’s true in the shops black men and women as SAs are more helpful and professional than white or Hispanic SAs.
congrats on your new lifestyle, but people usually wear and buy things they love. i see no harm in purchasing luxury or designer items; in fact, I own some. fashion is subjective to each individual
*amzrepx* ' commitment to sustainability is truly inspiring. I love that they prioritize eco-friendly materials and ethical practices in their production process. It gives me peace of mind to know that I'm supporting a brand that values environmental responsibility. Their efforts in promoting sustainable fashion make me even more proud to be a *amzrepx* customer.
*amzrepx* The craftsmanship and durability of is truly impressive.
Love *preluxscom* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other UA-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Why am I watching this.... I'm broke anyway ?? 😂😂
I feel you on that
😂🤣
I was just thinking the exact same..but you never know what's around the corner so it's good to know these things 😀😂😂
No worries I preferred to have a $20 purse (bag) and $500 cash inside my wallet
😂😂😂
I don’t care if it’s the most authentic designer bag in the world. The money some women pay for these bags is way too much, no matter how much you have available to spend.
No different than a man with his car collection. Those whom never owned a luxury bag will never understand. I rather buy one good bag that will last a life time than a cheap one I will have to replace every other month which BTW will add up in cost, might as well buy a REAL bag and be done with it.
@ChocFiend yes, cheap pleather bags lol! But also I've had the 150.00 bags pop a stitch or two in less than a few months. Its a preference when it comes to good handbags, I rather spend a few hundred than have to worry about spending 200.00 and the bag just doesn't hold up as well and bust a stitch or two!
Hmm i used to think like you until i found out that some bags appreciate in value over time. For example, if i had bought a channel classic bag 2 years ago for 4500, i would be able to sell it today for 6500 😐. Cant do this with no name brands though
@@froyokid That's nonsensical. Why would you buy it for supposed long-lasting if you're gonna sell it after 2 years? Also, as ChocFiend said (and myself somewhere above), you can find a decade-lasting leather bag for far less money. I won't even go to the area of buying such overpriced stuff in the world where many people don't have enough for basic living (very often as a result of the overpriced stuff manufacturing businesses).
If you can afford it but it..
My mother was a mannequin in Paris after the war, during the New Look era, a time when each designer had his/her own distinct “look” as definition. No one was overt with their labels.
Hence, I grew up with the axiom, “Never wear labels for any design house, unless they are paying you; you don’t pay them!”
Labels are tacky.
Many people today enjoy being tacky..😩
I remember when I was at university, brand's would give us T-shirts to wear with their logo for free. Students where walking advertisements for the brands and the kids get free merchandise. It was tacky but you were a student with a free T-shirt. Now of kids pay huge amounts to a brand to give free advertising for the brand!
I completely agree.
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *preluxscom*
The *preluxscom* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it!
Personally, buy whatever you like. Your money, your choice
Buy everything? Ok
Interestingly, that in a *esluxs* , the inside sewing at the handles is more carefully made (leather is not so frayed), than in the original one,
i'm retired .....it's just me.....i made a decision when i retired to live like a pauper, rescued four feral road dogs , give them the best life possible forever......i buy nothing for myself new, only used at Goodwill or Salvation Army....i pay bills for home and utilities, etc., then, everything the pups need, vet care, great food and supplements, fresh meat, fruit, vegetables, etc. ,cozy blankets, safe fenced yard...........it's the best retirement i could possibly have.......surrounded by unconditional LOVE !......who would trade that for fancy purses?....
A horrible way to live.
Really nice points made in this Video. I've just sent an email to you asking about the link/website for the 1:1 you recommend :) *suluxs*
My roommate used to buy bags off *suluxs* . I think she ended up spending almost the price of the bag she wanted . They were real leather .
Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the *preluxscom* queen picked up at Fend
I really love how your taste and style are always so chic. My favorite is the hotdups leather bag, it’s amazing.
If I have the money and budget 😉 I’ll buy ... just rewarding myself for working hard .. I like the real ones 😉
he variety of textures in the hotdups pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
great information v v nice job thankssss
KKUWAN You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
I got a Coach crossbody at a thrift store for $35 and it's in amazing quality! Because it's not new, some of these tips won't work, but all the other ones are right! I looked up other Coach crossbodys and I'm 99% sure it's real! Yay!
I got a *esluxs* ,Korean made, Jimmy Choo. It is 20 years old and still looks great.
To spend a hefty amount just for a brand name, i would happily choose the fake one
I bought my *esluxs* in Milan LV boutique store this year in February
When you touch them you feel like you’re in paradise hahahahahaha
Michelle Breyfogle Right. 😂
This is great information. Thank you!
I have two pre-loved *esluxscom* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
Thank you for the information,,
Thank you for the great info!
Depends on seller and the factory where it came from. My *esluxscom* is just like hers and i only paid $100 for it from a seller in hong kong.
Thank you so much. I may start looking for handbags when I go thrift store shopping, but I don't want to buy fakes. I made this mistake with Chanel No. V perfume ... oops. Well done video!
Thank you!
Good job thx 😍👍
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for taking time to do the comparison. the quality of the channel *suluxs* is better, I bought it here, and you can ask them to take a photo for confirmation before shipping.
great details thanks for the info.
I'd rather get the *esluxs* for $500 us and put $4,500 us in my bank account.
I should have known all this before I married my husband...
Sue Collins oh wow
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
The variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I have bought fake designer luggage and bags in Hong Kong for years. I've had them repaired from time to time at the actual designer retail store in the US. Never had a question raised. Bought a brief case and decided to monogram it in the states. Vuitton did it for free. Cost was 700. Saved around 3 grand
Real wealthy people dont need to proove their status by logos so they wouldnt care you think they carry a *esluxs* or real.
You lost all credibility when you pronounced Hermès as “HER-meez”. Gah.
🙄
*suluxs* Literally the happiest place we girls are
*yutulu* I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter❤
......in other words......buy what you can afford, the difference is hard to tell anyway....and...btw who cares😜
Buy a known fake and you are a lying, dishonest, deceiving person. If you're OK with that, it is just a statement on the world today.
I don't like the lying. I just buy what I can afford that's not trying to pretend it's something else. I will say, though, I received a Coach knock-off as a gift that did not wear well. The zippers ripped off at the seams and stitching came loose. Any Coach I have bought is authentic and over time exhibits that it is better quality. I think the designers care very much that their product ideas and names are being stolen and that their reputations could be harmed by the misrepresentations that the poorer quality merchandise carries. (I'm glad I found out that my knock-off Coach wasn't real. Otherwise, I would have thought that their quality had suffered.)
@k. yeah, right lol (sarcasim totally not inserted)
@@teresasibole2096 That's right, we could buy authentic local brands if we can't afford designer bag. 😁
exactly!
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *yutulux* 😘😘😘
Wow these ideas r very helpful.
I bought a *esluxs* belt in Italy. It’s great quality! No issues with it at all.
Unable to afford a new one? Go to Savers or any other thrifting stores! You would be surprised of what you can find! 👛👜
If it’s fake but looks like the real thing at a fraction of the price of the original and it’s difficult to tell the difference , quality or otherwise , then it’s a no brainer to buy the fake , even if you are filthy rich .
Sure, if you're dishonest and want to rip off the original company.
Since Maduro is in power, now fakes cost the same price as the original.
Thank u for sharing this now i know
Simple if you’ve got the money have the real deal ,if not buy what you can afford.
I’ve found some fakes at big prices no no .always go to a designer shop get a receipt .💞✨
Another way to spot a fake is seeing a knock off you never seen before. You're immediately attracted to it but google the style and color of the bag. I found out my favorite designer never made a bag that looked remotely like that lol
very good video
*yutulu* aesthetic is amazing!!
the metals are shiny, smooth and has the brand on it as well as the zipper has a sturdy and good quality.
*esluxscom* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *preluxscom* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I saved money for a designer bag once. My 80lb Pit was frustrated and found my bag a tasty way of showing it. He even dragged it out to the lounge in front of me to show his handiwork. Never again! Losing expensive items within seconds isn't worth the money but I still enjoy going into designer shops and feeling the bags. The craftsmanship is art.
The details between the bags are minor and anyone purchasing the *esluxs* will not be worried about the stitching etc
By the way - designer handbags can be very valuable - they are prized and sought - after collectors items.
I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for *suluxs* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me
Its best to just hang on to one of those 7E plastic bags ladies. Guaranteed its will never be fake..Waterproofed.inside and outside..No serial numbers/No stitches .
he variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I purchases the used LV Girolata and there was no date code. I called the LV store and they assured me that they no longer put the date code on the outside but now in the inside of the lining. Have I been duped?
I know that we're supposed to feel guilty by buying a fake luxury bag, but why don't the luxury companies play this game themselves and make a cheaper copy of their own bags?
Why should you feel guilty?
Its always other people who make others feel so because they consider it 'a waste of money'. But if you have the desposible income for it, go for it! You've worked hard ans deserve to treat yourself to something nice.
Alot of major brands will have defusion lines. For example, Miu Miu for Prada, Armani Exchange for Armani, or DKNY for Donna Karen.
They might have similar designs at cheaper prices, but to have a copy at a cheaper price would make the original handbag not as special.
It would need to use more inferior materials, which the luxery brand would never ever want to associate itself with.
Outlet mall stores have been reported to do just that. Authentic but lesser quality.
You should feel quilty spending thousands of dollars on a purse.
They do
It's all marketing... A high priced itemed is seen as having more value.
I think that there's a lot to be said for Barbara's method, I agree .. I have purchased lovely REAL high end bags, for less from s private party, but I knew that it was Authentic. I also shop at Marshall's, etc... Even for tote bags, etc. I'm not sure why someone would pay $2,000 for a handbag/ tote/ whatever.... Do something GOOD with that cash and buy groceries for a family , ..pay someone's rent that month, ...do something that will give your Heart and Soul the feeling that you've done something good , not just " bought yourself a very very expensive item " . ....
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *esluxs* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
I can share this to my friends... this is so helpful lvguu
Zipper for the originals will be not very smooth. Original has its pace to open the zippers unlike fake ones which will be very smooth almost takes no time to open haha
I need some sugstion....if some one gvs us a bag as a presnt from forgnr cntry...n v dnt know about da brandx of dat cntry much...how wud v know is dis branded or local???
Good information but right now I'm good with my discounted $30 bags. If I ever get that cash to buy brand names will indeed come back and see this video again for verifications 😁
To spot the fake is that you have to be careful about the color contrast of the bag, numbers of the stitches, zipper, the pattern of designs (especially in Louis Vuitton bag), and the weight of the bag (if it's heavy, it’s fake because they use a low-quality leather).
Thanks
The best quality that you can ever bye. You can wear it for a long time its always come back in the fashion.
Person should stay real does not matter if you dont have brand products... 😊
Iam broke and beginner youtuber and already guessing my comment wont be noticed but am here anyway at least to leave my big #👍👍👍to all you out there great tips and hope you are not duped
Just buy from real retail store. hehehe. BTW high quality Fake ones , they copied package and card (with serial numbers on it) and even package ribbon looks exactly same and high quality.
@ChocFiend I just wanted to know if people could tell or not 😂 the plan is to get cheap bags that I'm sure are fake.
I will wait till the reach the thrift stores
They’re both made in sweat shops
Who work at sweatshops? People who have no other way to feed their families. No job, starvation. Get rid of sweatshops, starve the children. This is reality.
There is not much excuse in this day and age for industrialists to subject workers to third world working conditions, even in third world countries. There is extreme wealth and dire poverty in such countries. No middle ground. And in such nations, the typical style of government is comprised of a select group of individuals who control all the wealth, and their only objective is increasing their personal wealth, and using the corrupt government they've created to make it happen, for them and their cronies. Scrambling over the backs of the working class every inch of the way is their stock in trade. So of course there is no regulation to require that the manufacturers provide humane and decent working conditions--one of them or their conies owns those sweatshops. Your statments imply that status quo is the only alternative.
"statements"

Wrong. Authentic handbags are made by skilled artisans who works with pride.
Who else only watched this so they can point out people with fake Gucci
#1 is definitely not true. I have an LV with uneven stitching, a YSL with a slightly misaligned button, a Balmain with a very slight indentation in the canvas, and a Burberry with an ever so slightly crooked pocket. I bought the Balmain from their website and the others in the boutiques. I didn’t notice any of those flaws until it was too late. But that’s handmade. There will be slight imperfections.
My two Dior Book Totes - my only fakes - are perfect.
And you are pronouncing Hermès wrong. It’s ER-MEZ not HER-MEES.
or you could just go to Neiman Marcus or another high end store to make sure you get the real thing
Exactly. I'd rather go to a reputable department store and know, without a doubt.
Someone may be interested in purchasing a used one. Therefore info like this could be useful
There are consignment websites that sell designer handbags. They still run in the hundreds of dollars. I want to get mileage out of a purse. I have a vintage Dooney and Bourke that is so well constructed it will probably last another 30 years.
A friend of my sister came to work one day sporting a new Louis Vuitton handbag. The price? R27 000. The friend's sister who is married to a very rich man, bought it for her. At that time I was out of work and when I heard the story my stomach curdled...
Thanks u
also the smoothness of zipper line....
I don’t miss a day a week *yutulu*This show..😂😂😂😂
Thx
My daughter buys my bags for DOB in past or gave me the designer bags she no longer wanted. For sure they were not fake. Better to purchase directly from the designer store
I❤️brand LV and Channel and Christian Dior👜
Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
No matter if it's the *yutulux* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
Is it just me that in 2:29, I don't see a misspelling? There's a lotta bag experts on youtube, but they are brand specific. This was too general, but thanks for the brevity.
If I can sell my bag for a very high price like hermes bag I will make my zipper and buttons made of 18k gold and this is to give customers a real feel of owning a real expensive items. Right?
4 comments only??!?!
what!!
So you saying, the retailers/stores are saleing knock-Off handbags too.
Or buy bags that you can afford and not fake a status that doesn't match your bank account 😂😂 Well,even if you afford to buy an original but still walk out of a beat up car ,it will still be taken as a fake .. so make your life simple.. And don't fake being born with a platinum spoon 😉
Nisha W love your comment!!!
There is such a thing as getting a designer bag as a gift so even if you're broke and your BF buys you a designer bag it doesnt mean its fake.
Kathy Casares Hey,but people judge you also based on your entire personality and how you carry yourself .So unless you are walking out of a a freaking Lamborghini with these bags ,looking like the way a certain class of people look with their designer lives,nobody giving anybody a second look 😁
Nisha don’t judge a book by the cover I know people who have authentic bags that make payments on them till they pay in full
Viva loco, I have always thought that we should not have more purse than money in that purse. Funny part is, lots of people I know with "old money" don't even buy luxury handbags; they're still carrying around some really well worn in handbag from 30+ years ago that doesn't look flashy and looks in great condition. It's the "new money" that flaunts labels, bling, luxury looks and all. Old money looks like a penny pincher, new money buys everything new all the time and lives month to month on good or decent income, but, wants to look wealthy... Old money has money to go to lavish vacations, but, they decide to go low-key on discount fares and not post on social media. New money takes selfies of every step, every move... lol I'm neither old or new money...I have a daughter in Nursing school and another in high school so we broke money. LOL ♥
he variety of textures in the *preluxscom* tpack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Yay yesterday i got the himalya hermes birkin bag from hermes shop in doctor rodeo
Yeah no.
No matter if it's thebellefinery or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
If you want authenticity don't buy it at a shady store. If it seems too good to be true then it probably is. Stick to merchants that are authorized to sell the brand or just buy it directly from the brand's boutique or website. Remember to register your handbag as well.
You missed so much more I used to be the leather Artisian for Louis Vuitton and made the bags. I know the number of stitches that real ones have and do on and so much more this video failed to share. Also there no such thing as serial number on the Louis Vuitton bags . It’s called the stamp code and : or chrono As we called it making the bags
A C ive heard about the number of stiches too.
Aces so share with us then.....that's if you don't mind anyways.
So cool did they give you a discount
I'm sure he got to keep all the prototypes for everything he created.
Aces - I agree that much is lacking here. However, if you think you can do a better job, we would all love to see your video. Otherwise, you might as well keep this type of comment to yourself :)
Only if you buy it places like the flea market or from people.
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulux*, supe que tenía que tenerlo.
It’s Hermes (er-Mez) not Hermees - if your going to talk about it then at least say it right!
Louis Vuitton never cuts or folds their material thru the LV lettering
Can't tell the one in retail stores. The one I saw at flea markets are fake.
0:25 I highly doubt there are people out there making "fake" cars and putting random "designer" logos on there 🤦🤦
Not full cars, but definitely with cheap replacement parts.
also where it's being sold
one day I shall use them
The weight of authentic bags differs from fake ones. Could be a combo between hardware and materials, that are not the same as authentic one....but it is different. Also, the sizes are often off...precise measurements of item design and stitch count, is not matched exactly because machinery and patterns used to make either, is not the same. Thread color and thread type...also different. Hardware size....and color differs; locks and key type, especially.
what's a hermis bag? Some kind of a hermit bag?? Ohhhhhh Hermes!!!!! ;-D
Was expecting tips I DIDN’T already know!!!!! Kind of a bummer, the tips they gave were the obvious ones ALL know!!!!! Oh well… 😞😏
Some people don't even care bout the authentic or immitation brands some people also choose more to the nicest design even if it's authentic..hmmm... But we'll depending on individual....
keep up
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulu* supe que tenía que tenerlo.
IDK what person would go through so much trouble to clock counterfeits just for a label when they can just go to the real retailer and buy it there. This is coming from someone who prefers to buy designer when I can, and learns about how to track fakes for fun/knowledge. I’m not against buying designer. But if you’re going through this much trouble to differentiate, why don’t you just buy the authentic one *_or_* embrace rocking a fake one? You‘re simply not gonna find authentic items at discounted prices. Unless you have a friend getting rid of a designer bag she doesn’t need anymore. But where would any seller manage to procure an inventory of designer handbags if they were real? Just doesn’t work that way.
Well,my dad got me this bag so I don’t know what the packaging is because my brother opened it for me lol
Edit: it’s your choice..but branded is better in my opinion,your money ur choice
Very simple, buy Prada at Prada, Hermes at Hermes, and so on. 😉 I prefer a bag that I like in colour, material and style, not for the name.
