This little quiz and article on Fakes was on the front page of MSN today.
Some of them are VERY obvious but, it was still a fun little quiz.

Eheheh, I got 2 wrong. I fail.

Awesome survey though. That was a lot of fun, thanks for posting!!

I got the Gucci bag right; however, I simply gave up on the quiz when I got to the Cartier watch, that bracelet, and the Prada shades because I know nothing about authenticating other fashion items outside of handbags.

Gimmethebag · Nov 3rd, 2009, 09:22 PM

I got 17 out of 19 correct.

While I did get the diamond quiz correct, I do have to say that by not showing the same items per se... the quiz had some bias. For the diamond question, one diamond was a round brilliant while the other diamond was an Asscher cut. Round brilliants have more facets and sparkle. Step cuts give off a white flash.

I did get the LV one right though

I got the Cartier watch and MK perfume wrong. yay me. I daresay I got lucky on the bracelet. I had to study the braided part and guessed on it. I was relieved. LOL.

I got the LV, Prada, Jeans, and Jordans wrong. At least I know what to look for so I wont get taken advantage of.

ArmCandyLuvr · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:05 PM

I only got the True Religion Jeans one wrong. I don't buy designer jeans, so I am not familiar with how they are made.

blah956 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:13 PM

i got like 7 right :X i got the gucci one wrong! but the louis vuitton one right.

Toto too · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:31 PM

Woo-hoo! Got 'em all!

mrs moulds · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:42 PM

I missed the jeans. Maybe it is because I won't pay that much on some jeans

juicygrl41 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:45 PM
