How to Spot a Fake Balenciaga Handbag

Balenciaga is crafted from the finest leathers, and the very first thing a buyer should pay attention to is the leather quality. An authentic handbag, due to the quality and fineness of the leather, may have trouble standing up on its own if it is not stuffed with anything. This is because quality Balenciaga leather is too soft to support itself. Whereas a fake handbag would be made of a cheaper leather, and may be more rigid and stiff, and may hold itself upright better than a real fake Balenciaga bags.

Along with the stiffness of the leather being a red flag, the look and feel of the leather is also, pertaining to both the texture of the leather and the shine of the material. The authentic leather should have a quality known as the "distressed" look. The leather should have natural looking wrinkles and creases in the material, and as the bag ages these creases will actually add to the beauty of the handbag. The difference between the natural distressed look of an authentic handbag and a fake handbag can be subtle at times, but still with minimal effort easily observable. Meaning that the fake handbag makers will attempt to mirror this distressed look but the outcome is usually more of a "cracked" appearance. Instead of natural creases, the fake handbag looks like a rain starved desert surface. When compared to a real distressed replica Balenciaga handbags, the cracked imitation becomes more obvious.

The hardware is another place to look. Hardware on an authentic Balenciaga bag is either brass or a matte silver finish. The difference being, often times the hardware on a Balenciaga hobo bag replica tends to be shiny silver or shiny gold, made with cheaper materials. So instead of the quality aged look, the fake handbag appears to be fresh out of a factory. Some authentic models do have a shiny silver hardware, but even those will be a high quality and better detail.

Good luck and safe shopping.
