Gro! This one's for you!
Following RDC's brilliant comparison thread on the green superfake First, it's a good time to expose the superfake First's more ubiquitous little demon-sis, the superfake makeup clutch. This thread should prolly be combined with RDC's and eventually moved to the reference section, but I wanted to make sure everyone sees this first. Hence the new thread. hmwe, sorry for making more work for you!:shame:
The superfake MU clutch purports to be from 04 and claims to have PH. I got a particular doozy that COMBINED brass and pewter hardware. These superfake MUs appear most frequently in this shade of green and black, although I have also seen red and white.
I've included comparisons with an authentic 04 PH white MU clutch.
Here goes:
Looks legit from a distance, but when juxtaposed to a real one the off details start to show.
Authentic O ring shut all the way with only a slight seam indicating where the ring was connected.
Fake O ring agape.
Authentic buckle and studs, which have a lower profile.
fake buckle and more conical, protruding studs and in this case, brass!
