How to Spot Fake Branded Clothes?
Pandora Bracelets
- The color of the original silver bracelet should be a bit faded. It shouldn’t be too light or shiny: the manufacturer uses an oxidizing technique that gives Pandora products a unique color.
- New Pandora bracelets should perfectly keep their shape and almost not bend. You should also be able to clearly see the weaving on them.
- The size of the clasp on the original Pandora bracelets should be almost the same as the size of the charms. There should be an engraving on the front side of the clasp that says “Pandora” with a crown above the “O.”
- Inside the clasp, you’ll find a special fixator that looks like a clover and consists of a small screw with 4 heads. Its main aim is to securely fix the bracelet on the wrist. The clasp also must have a mark that states the silver purity and have a factory stamp inside of it.
- Pandora charms have an inscription with the brand name and a mark that indicates the metal they are made of. Murano charms shouldn’t have any chips, cracks, or air bubbles inside them.
- The denim that original Levi’s jeans are made of should have a visible diagonal pattern that looks the same on the front and back sides of the jeans.
- The back pockets of the original jeans should have a 2-line pattern that resembles an eagle’s beak.
- All Levi’s jeans have a soft leather patch on the back of the waistband above the right pocket. The patch should have the Levi’s logo and a slogan and state the size of the jeans and the number of the model. There should also be a picture of the drovers trying to rip the jeans.
- The small Levi’s tab on the back right pocket of the jeans is usually red, but it can also be a different color, depending on the model. The tab should have the brand name on it and sometimes a registration mark: ®.
- Authentic buttons will always have “Levi Strauss” embossed on their front side and there’ll be a number stamped into their back. The rivets should also have the brand name on their outer side and the number of the model on the inside.
