I was asked how close these replica look like authentic bags.
Usually a real bag differs from a fake bag in two aspects: the leather and the hardware. The authentic leather is usually sourced in Italy – the country of the greatest leather. No matter how authentic a replica looks like, the feel on leather is definitely less divine than that on a real bag.
If you forget the feel, the leather on these Indy bags do look like the authentic leather.
I did a research on Louis Vuitton bags before. I found the most obvious difference between a fake LV and a real LV is its hardware. The hardware on authentic LV is so polished, with a tint of polishness. I can spot a fake LV by just looking at its hardware.
What amazed me is this Gucci Indy’s hardware. The hardware on a fake Indy bag looks so polished, it is just as polished as that from a real bag!


Can you tell a fake from a real Indy bag? yep… check out the painted trim.

A real Indy bag will have uneven painted trim too as long as it is done by hands. But there will be less error than you can expect from a fake – this is called price gap!
