Confession-- Fake or Real

..Are you the type to carry a bag/purse you love even if its FAKE? Or would you rock ONLY the real deal?

After helping my girl Sherrine out with a topic yesterday, I decided to use it for myself as well. This is something alot of us are guilty of because who doesn't want to be able to rock a Coach, or LV purse. I personally love expensive things if i could afford it but in these times of the year, sista on a budget! Now I am the type of female that loves my Coach but I can also rock a $20.00 purse any day if it looks good.
I love accessories from the purses to the shoes. So I took it upon myself to research alittle and help my sistas on a budget that refuse to wear a fake designer accessory.

Now if you a fake lover and don't mind, I got you ladies too. ;)


Can you tell real from fake?? (resource from http://www.hilary.com/fashion/fakeorfendi.html)

Here can help you tell the difference from the real and fake..

1. Watch for lining that isn't stitched in, but glued on. The same goes for labels.

2. The material used can also be a dead giveaway; if the signature plaid of a Burberry bag is even slightly askew, it's a fake.

3. Some knockoffs do take the time to stitch the lining into place; in these, look for threading that is pulling in spots. A real designer bag would have near-perfect threading.

4. Ask where the bag was made or look for a label. If you see "Made in China," you can pretty much pass up that purse. Do some research before you go shopping, so you know where the real thing is manufactured.

QUIZ: Can you spot the fake Chloé Paddington?





Hint: It's the one that costs $1600. Left, fake; right, real
