Burberry Bags: Mini Guide on How to Recognize the Original
The bags of the historic English brand Burberry are among the most expensive and valuable in the world, but unfortunately also the most counterfeited. Some of our fans have raised the eternal dilemma of " true or fake " and we therefore thought it might be useful to identify some tricks to recognize the authenticity of Burberry bags.
Many times, for fashion victims , it is not easy to keep up with trends, because the prices of some accessories designed by great designers and produced with high-quality materials reach quite high prices. On the other hand, buying counterfeit brands is not a solution, because in this way the market and the economy are damaged. Furthermore, imitations are made of low-quality materials, do not have an internal label and have colors that fade easily.
An original bag , if chosen with taste, can become an evergreen accessory that will accompany you for years and years, giving satisfaction to all the efforts made to be able to have it. The counterfeit brands, in addition to Burberry, are many, among the most common Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Chanel.
The essential steps to recognize an original Burberry bag :
- Look carefully at Nova Check , the iconic and very famous tartan print. The navy blue lines, always symmetrical, are three and intersect each other, vertically and horizontally. In the middle of the dark stripes, there are shaded white stripes.
- In the middle of each cross, formed by the intersection of the navy blue stripes, a red line runs across the fabric, on which stand out, at alternating intersections, red stripes with the symbol of the bishop , when each red line rotates 180°: the knight looks up once and down the next time. The Nova Check is therefore a game of carefully calculated symmetries and parallels .
- As for the recent restyling of the tartan motif, the play of symmetries is not lost, even in cases where the pattern is placed obliquely or enlarged. Sometimes the symbol of the ensign disappears, but in this case it will be enough to pay attention to the colors that, in imitations, are always excessively strong, and to the materials that will never be of the same quality as the original bags. The details and finishes of the original bags are highly prized and this can often help us to define their authenticity.
- Inside the bag there must be a label with the words Burberry London on the front, while on the back there will be the serial number accompanied by the words Made in Italy . The position of the label can vary depending on the model of the bag, so you have to pay attention to the logo , which must be perfectly aligned, while in imitations it is often crooked. A final precaution can be linked to the price tag , which must be navy blue , a rather dark shade of blue that can appear black.
