Most of you are thinking of buying a gift that is something extra special for that special someone. You might be considering getting your partner a designer bag, a pair of shoes, clothes, or a watch. You spotted some big sales on top-notch designers, but how will you know if these products are authentic or not?
You must know how to distinguish between authentic and not to ensure that you are not wasting your money. You don’t want to give your special someone something from a counterfeit, right?
Here’s how to spot the difference:
Pay attention to the logo, stitching, and even the packaging of the product to determine authenticity.

When checking the authenticity of watches, look for writings of the brand, check for flaws or misspellings in the logo, and notice how the watch works.

For bags, compare the position of that logo you see to the brand’s website, make sure that logos match up on either side of the seams, and the stitching shouldn’t be falling out or uneven.

For clothing, check the hand tags and the stitching, or examine if the brand has a VIP club.
Phrases such as “replica of” “OEM” and “Class A” is an indication that the item is not authentic.
