Most people today follow fashion and want to meet the criteria of the modern fashion world. Men and women of different ages try to dress nicely and tastefully, adapt to trends and use fashionable accessories. Clothes of different brands have become a necessary factor to meet the fashion criteria of today's society. However, it is not as easy as it seems to meet the criteria of fashion on this subject. Unfortunately, many online shopping sites and platforms sell counterfeit products under the original name. For this reason, being able to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products has become one of the most important factors in our lives.

 

Of course, clothes from well-known brands are usually quite expensive. For this reason, we who want to dress tastefully, sometimes turn to lesser-known brands, and sometimes knowingly use counterfeit products. However, it is unfortunate that sometimes the clothes and shoes that we know are original and expensive are found to be counterfeit. To avoid such unpleasant situations, in our two-part blog we will tell you about 10 ways to distinguish the original product from the counterfeit one. Make sure that if you remember the following points when choosing clothes and shoes, you will be able to easily distinguish a fake product from an original one.

1. Prices

We must remember (unfortunately) that the original products of the brands are not cheap. Even during the discount seasons, when the discounts reach 70%, we can't get a night dress from Dior or Christian Louboutin shoes at a cheap price.

This is explained by the fact that brands use expensive, high-quality raw materials when preparing their products. Also, the fact that the product belongs to one or another brand, in turn, increases the price of the product. So if you want to buy an original brand product, you must have it in your pocket.

2. Place of sale

 

Original products are not sold in ordinary clothing stores, underground passages. You can buy original products only in branded stores. As for online shopping sites, you can find original products only on the official websites of brands and Trendyol, n11, Morhipo can be obtained from secure sites such as. Detailed information on how to determine whether an online shopping platform is reliable will be provided in our next blogs.

3. Quality fittings

Fittings often reveal counterfeit products. This is because brands use only buttons, zippers, fasteners, chains made of quality and durable materials in the manufacture of original products. Fake companies usually do not pay much attention to these fittings.

We should also pay attention to the fact that many brands also print their logos on the fittings.

4. Clothing quality

 

As mentioned earlier, brands use only quality raw materials in the production of products. This applies not only to fittings, but also to the materials and threads from which clothes are made. Thus, brands and clothing designers pay great attention not only to the design and appearance of clothing, but also to its preparation, selection of raw materials, durability of clothing to protect their image. It should be pleasant to touch the original products. The seams should be even and durable. The original products do not have crooked seams, poor quality fasteners, unstable fittings.

5. Pay attention to details

 

All brands have special features. At first glance, it is sometimes difficult to see them, but if you pay attention, with the help of these features you can easily choose the original product from the counterfeit. We share with you some such secrets:

Levi jeans - Pay attention to the back pocket of the pants. Each back pocket has a seam that is sloping down, reminiscent of an eagle's beak. The belt should have a rectangular patch of corrugated or pressed paper in the intended area. As for the fittings, the number of the product is indicated on the inside of the buckle, and the name of the manufacturer and model is indicated on the rivet.

Lacoste polos - In the original products of this brand, the buttons are made of pearl-like material and each has two holes for sewing clothes. The green crocodile emblem touches the polo very tightly. The crocodile's mouth, teeth and eyes are clearly visible on the original product. The crocodile emblem should not be visible from the opposite side, as it is made with a curved needle.

 

 

Fred Perry polos - The contours of the emblem on the original polo should be clearly reflected and located at heart level on the left. There should be 16 or 30 leaves on the laurel wreath. Buttons should be the same color as the clothes, and on them should be engraved with the name of the brand. The lines on the collar of the polo should be clearly felt when touched.

Timberland boots - If we pay attention to the logo of these boots, we will see that the logo is engraved on the original products. In counterfeits, the logo is simply pasted.
