"Is your bag real???"

[venetiakim]

No, I'm not asking you ladies...
But yesterday I took my Burberry bag for a walk and met a few friends downtown.Where I live a Burberry bag is,how to say this, a rare sight()
So a friend of mine poped the question...Is your bag real?I said, of course!Ad she says:How can you tell?Well, for a start most fakes don't have the knights on them!She was like reallyyy?
At first I was sceptical but them a realized that the question came from a person who has recently bought a Burberry shirt from a local expensive boutique(who doesn't sell fakes) and wears it all the time.She is a classy lady in other words.
Could it be that she really couldn't tell them apart, even if she buys luxury items all the time?

Sounds weird. Maybe she just isn't into bags??

 

[SunnyFreckles]

That happens here where I live...Burberry, LV even Coach or Dooney is a rare sight...so that question is usually the first out of everyone's mouth...weird, huh?

I had no idea that most fakes don't have the knights on them. My one and only Burberry is a Haymarket Check SMMORTON (anyone know if this is an abbreviation for something?) I didn't actually WANT the knights, but I kind of like them now. Especially if it distinguishes my bag as REAL.

Yes, maybe she doesn't give attention to details, and she doesn't bother if an item she's wearing is a fake because she only buys from boutiques

Many people do not have a clue how to determine authentic from fake

Most people are not fanatics like us

this is true. before the purse forum i could tell an obvious fake but not a better quality one. Now I can stand in line in Starbucks and comment on everyone's purses with my friends.

Ahhh....the technology...

 

[handbagsrock]

Before this forum I couldn't tell either. Now, my HUSBAND can often tell the difference!

Don't worry, I know how you feel. I've had someone think that the knights were dirt stains on the bag until they took a closer look.

To be honest, at a glimpse, I can hardly tell if a bag is real or not, especially those replicas that claim to know how to copy the exactness of the bag (right down to the knights and all). I sometimes can only tell when I look and feel a bag inside out, and that would be awkward to do

oh OK.I've only seen fakes without the knights on them...
