How to Identify a Phony Gucci Purse

One of the problems with Gucci bags is that, unlike Fendi, Coach and Chanel, they do not have a serial number registration system. Paying attention to the serial numbers is crucial. The model numbers for a Gucci handbag have the matching serial numbers stamped on the underside of the label, directly above the serial number. On the Gucci label, between 10 and 13 numbers should make up the number sequence. The front of the label should read: Gucci, made in Italy, with the trademark symbol. There is a link below that provides more detail.

Because Gucci is one of the limited amount of brands that will retail off-season irregulars (pocketbooks with defects), and overstock inventory to their outlet stores and to brokers, Gucci fine points can differ from bag to pocketbook. This is akin to Coach. When an establishment does not have a specific layout for their purses, then that becomes an occasion for scammers to capitalize on the lack of conformity. Chanel and Louis Vuitton are nice examples of designers that keep their handbags consistent.

What this says is that detecting fake Gucci comes down to, reviewing the manufacturing particulars like stitch lines.

The Font: This is a good section to begin. The Gucci label fonts may at times, change to some degree from pocketbook to handbag, relying on the area of Europe they were produced in. But the majority of the time the font will always be a powerful tell for revealing a phony Gucci. The Gucci font will not be bulgy, crooked, overly circular, muddy or blurry. The Gucci font should be a definite and crisp impression. The overly rounded imitation font is a collective error made by counterfeiters.

Font arrangement: The font should also be symmetric. Both the "Gucci", and the "Made in Italy", should be perfectly centered inside the label, and relative to each other. The GUCCI logo should be centered impeccably on top of the Made in Italy, and the Made in Italy stamp needs to be centered flawlessly within the label. Anything looking bent is a tremendous red flag, and powerful affirmation that the purse is knock-off.

The next item is the label stitching: The stitching that frames the label ought to also maintain absolute symmetry. This means that the distance from the seam line to the labels border should remain steady on all four sides of the label. The seams themselves should remain unvarying, all visible stitches being the equivalent length on all four edges of the label. If the stitch lines are asymmetric or if the stitches are inconsistent sizes, the pocketbook is most likely a knock-off Gucci.

what kind of purse to bring to sixflags?

Im going on a field trip with my band/chorus class on may 31st but i don't know what type of purse to bring.is a cross body purse adviced.because i have to carry my phone because we have checkup times and i need my wallet and ipod/camera that's all i dont wanna pay for every roller coaster.Six flags over georgia btw.im not sure if i want to bring a cross body bag because when im upside down it may fall off my neck

You won't be allowed on any of the rides with a bag to begin with, so you will need to get a locker. Some of them are free (but only the few that are around roller coasters that are time limited by an hour), however, at the front of the park, there is usually a place where you will be able to rent for the day for around $10-20 dollars. Share the locker with a bunch of people, and it could work out being pretty cheap for everyone.

The only thing you'll really need is your phone and some money. I'd honestly skip the bag, and depending on how far the trip is, skip your ipod. However, if you do decide to rent a locker, it will be very benificial. Good luck!

Also, a pro of getting a locker is that if you win prizes, you don't have to carry them. Also, having a bag will be a pain because everybody and their mother will be asking you to hold your stuff.
