It is a lot easier IRL, when you can actually handle the objects and can detect problems more easily. Some are a real give away, like weight (for the bracelet and the watch - real stuff is usually heavier than flimsy fakes)....

However, I got them right :-)

Thanks for posting this. That Coach Carly inspired fake Gucci...

diamonds are a girl's best friend, but it ruined my otherwise perfect score

I got the jeans and the bracelet wrong - never seen TR jeans or DY jewellery in my life so had no idea what I was looking for.

Everything else I got right though. With fakes, it's almost just something that you feel about them. They're just off.

I got all of them right except for the Prada shades! Oh well! :)

redskater · Nov 4th, 2009, 09:33 AM

I only got the jeans wrong! however it's pretty hard to tell with a lot of them since they don't give you many views. I just guessed right.

Fun quiz, thanks for posting! I guessed wrongly on the jeans. I learned the most from the slide on the diamond:

Quote:

Diamonds disperse heat rapidly, so you can breathe on the stone and see how long it takes for the fog to go away. You should not see any moisture on a real diamond, while the fog will linger for several seconds on a fake.

If you have a loose diamond, hold it over a newspaper or a piece of paper with printing on it. Diamonds refract so much light that they will not work as magnifying glasses and you would see no lines, circles, or letters through them. Glass, crystal or clear stones other than diamonds will reveal the print clearly.

Missed 2, Jeans and Michael Kors perfume.

Compass Rose · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:06 PM

Well, I failed on the Michael Kors perfume, but I also guessed on a couple and got lucky.

I got the Cartier, TR jeans, MK perfume wrong... the funny thing is, I have the same Cartier watch and TR jeans!

ashy1 · Nov 4th, 2009, 05:31 PM

I got the Cartier and LV wrong

In my defense, the real LV handles threw me off. I have no clue when it comes to LV and Cartier hehe...good quiz. Spotted that Gucci right away!

That was a cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

dancingirl · Nov 4th, 2009, 08:32 PM

I can't believe I got the LV wrong considering 80% of my bags are LV.

I am so dumb :P

most of these are obvious and bias. the good fakes out there are not easy to spot like these
