Look, I’m no expert, but I’ve done my fair share of, uh, “research” (read: obsessively scrolling through forums and watching unboxing videos). So, here’s my totally-not-foolproof guide to sussing out a fake Burberry London purse.
First off, those tags and interior plaques, pay attention! A real Burberry *should* have either a metal plaque or a sewn-in tag, right? It’s gotta have the logo and stuff. But, and this is a BIG but, just seeing “Burberry” isn’t enough. Gotta make sure the font’s right, the spacing’s consistent… you know, the kinda details a faker might gloss over. I once saw a fake where the “r”s in Burberry were all wonky, like they were having a bad hair day. Also, If you got a dark blue paper tag and box with “Burberry-London” printed in silver, that’s a good sign, but don’t bet the farm on it. The packaging, that black drawstring bag, has to look right too.
Now, where did you get it? Because that’s like, a HUGE clue. Authorized Burberry stores and high-end department stores are your safest bets, duh. I mean, they have a reputation to uphold, right? They’re not gonna risk selling fakes. Buying from some random website or a dude on the street corner? Red flag city. Use your brain. It’s a purse, not a life saving device.
And hey, speaking of the logo, did you know that Burberry’s been around for, like, forever? Like 166 years or something crazy like that? The logo’s changed a bunch over the years. So, if someone’s trying to sell you a “vintage” Burberry with a tag that just says “Burberry,” alarm bells should be ringing. Do some digging on Google Images and see if the logo matches the era the seller claims the bag is from. You know, detective work!
