Pricing
You should be paying at least $500 for a real Dolce and Gabbana handbag, though costs usually reach $1000 and up. If a Dolce and Gabbana handbag costs less than a $100, then it's most probably fake. Unfortunately not many of us can afford the real designer bag, so in a way fake bags can be a good pick. The only downside is that the quality suffers.
Logos
Suppliers may intentionally or accidentally misspell the designer insignia on a fake Dolce and Gabbana handbag. The font could be corrupted, too. A genuine Dolce and Gabbana handbag always has a perfect insignia on its leather, metal rings, handles and zippers. If you already own a Dolce and Gabbana handbag, try to spot whether the insignia is still there. If the insignia has torn off within just a few months after purchase then the bag itself was a fake.
Fabric and accessories
A real Dolce and Gabbana handbag is usually made of real leather. If the leather appears shiny or very smooth to the touch then it is fake. Also, fake leather easily peels off. Watch out for rough metalwork, wrinkly handles and sloppy zippers. Only high-quality materials are used in a real Dolce and Gabbana handbag.
Make
If a handbag cannot sit on its own or falls to the side then it is most likely fake. Inner and outer pockets should be stitched onto the handbag's material with precision. Inspect the inner lining and make it a point that it won't develop holes after just a few times of usage.
Threadwork
Threads should not be hanging out or stitched all over the place. Even if messy stitches are found only on the inside of a handbag, a genuine Dolce and Gabbana handbag does not have faulty stitches anywhere.
Hues
Check that the zipper and threads used in a handbag does not have colors that go against each other. This characteristic is found only in fake bags. Suppliers like to use tan stitches because they look neutral on almost any color and they can save on thread, too. Still, tan-colored threads can look very bad on brighter colors. An authentic Dolce and Gabbana handbag uses a more pleasing palette.
Prints
Colored, textured or logo decorations on the handbag should not eclipse each other or become obstructed by the seams. It can be easily spotted when an illustration is skewed or placed carelessly.
You might be told that a Dolce and Gabbana handbag is real, even though it is fake. The downside would be if you were tricked into buying it for $1000. If you don't want this to happen to you, take note of the tips in this article.
