Many cheap designer replicas are easily recognizable for what they are: poor imitations. Unfortunately, there are many designer replicas that are incredibly well made, so much so, that even qualified experts sometimes have trouble discerning what is authentic and what is fake. Despite efforts to the contrary, counterfeiters are thriving and continually improving their "craft"- we use that term loosely. So, what can be done? Arm yourself with information. Getting to "know" your future purchase will save you a lot of time, money and grief.
