Buying Authentic Bags Online Doesn’t Need to Be Risky Business If You Do Your Homework

High fashion makes you look and feel like a million bucks.  But often the price tag is too hefty for today's economy.  Fortunately, with the right knowledge and experience, you don't have to spend big to look great. Even when purchasing online, you can take steps to purchase designer fashions that are authentic and top of the line. Just do your homework and research as much as possible before you make your purchase. 

Here are some additional tips to help you secure the perfect designer bag:

1. Look for design consistency. For example, all Chanel bags have signature styles that goes far beyond their trademark C's. The font used is very specific and is rarely changed on Chanel Bags. Look closely at the fonts on bags you see in the stores and check to see if they match.
2. The bag and stamp will always match the hardware. When a bag has gold hardware the Chanel stamp and bag will always be gold. If it's silver, they will be silver, and so forth.
3. You can also spot obvious design flaws. Check the logo and pay attention to spelling mistakes. Check that the lining and stitching match and also look for uneven stitching. Chanel originals are always neatly stitched.
4. Chanel bags come with authenticy cards, serial numbers, and dust bags. You can even check for authenticy with these by knowing what to look for on your bag. For example, the price tags are on white cards. If it is new with a tag, the price tag should be white with Chanel written in black. Fake bags have black price tags. The authenticity card is black with a gold rim and white writing. The gold on the card should have NO rainbow hue to it. Some bags are sold with no card as the previous owner may not have saveld the card.
5. Also, check to make sure the serial numbers match the cards and bag. When shopping online, most shops will let you know whether the card is included. Don't dismiss a bag simply because it doesn't have the card included. Not all bags are sold in the resale market with the card, as owners may have misplaced them. However, this in no way devalues a bag. The same goes for sleeper bags.

When shopping online and adding to your collection, frequent stores that not only carry your favorite designer bags and shoes, but specialize in them as well.
