Right off the bat, I gotta say, spotting a fake can be tricky. These counterfeiters are getting *good*. But don’t worry, I’ve got some pointers that might help you out.
First things first: the devil’s in the details, ya know? That lil’ Burberry logo… is it crisp? Is it clear? Does it look like it could fall off if you sneezed? If it seems kinda flimsy or poorly attached, that’s a big red flag, my friend. Real Burberry stuff, even sunglasses, is usually made with quality materials, and that includes how the logo is applied. Cheap glue? Nope.
And speaking of materials, how do they *feel*? Do they feel like they’re gonna snap in half if you even look at them wrong? Real designer sunglasses, Burberry included, should have a certain weight to them, a feeling of sturdiness. Think quality plastic or metal, not something you’d find in a dollar store grab bag.
Now, I’ve heard that Burberry has changed their logo over time, and you have to watch out for the “Burberry OF LONDON” text. It’s supposed to be “BurberryS” with an “S,” so if it’s missing, well, you know… *fake*.
Also, where’d you get ’em? Like, if you scored them at a flea market for ten bucks, I hate to break it to ya… but highly suspect. Authorized dealers, department stores, even reputable online retailers… those are your best bets. A shady website promising “deep discounts” on Burberry? Yeah, run. Just run.
Honestly, I think Burberry sunglasses are generally pretty good, design-wise. They definitely have that luxury vibe. I mean, Ray-Ban is cool and all, but Burberry often has more interesting and distinct styles, in my humble opinion. Plus, scratch-resistant lenses are a must, and most Burberry sunglasses offer that. Don’t know if the fakes do, of course.
I saw something online about some website selling “fakeburberry.is” and it was just…yikes. I wouldn’t trust any website with a name like that, LOL.
