You may be quite doubtful about buying from a Burberry outlet because you might be thinking that some of the items sold at outlets may not be authentic. But on the contrary, buying from an outlet is perfectly safe because there are no counterfeit Burberry handbags, accessories, clothes, jewelries or fragrances being sold on these stores. But if you have purchased a Burberry product elsewhere, here are some tips to help avoid buying the counterfeits.
1. The Source
You should always consider the source of the item or from where you purchased it. Authentic Burberry are sold only in Burberry stores, high-end department stores and Burberry outlets.
2. The Price
Even if you are given a great discount for a Burberry item, you should be very sceptical or careful. Usually, an original item is priced around 600 dollars to around 1,200 dollars. The only place where you can buy authentic products with discounted prices is at their outlet. It may also be possible to get a good deal during sales.
3. The Label
Checking the label especially the spelling of the label or in the logo is very important. Check all of the label in a particular item. If there is any spelling or any mistake in one part, that is without a doubt a knock off.
4. The Pattern
Another sure fire way to check its authenticity is through its pattern. The pattern should match on all the sides of the product. Patterns must be symmetryical, centered and the lines should only go in one direction.
5. The Stitching
The stitching of an original Burberry should not appear to be sloppy and it should not have any loose thread. The stitches should appear to be uniform all throughout an original Burberry.
6. The Tag and Interior
As for their designer handbags, on its interior it should have a metal or a leather plaque with “Burberry London” engraved on it. If there is a metal tag on the bags interior, it should match any metal tag on the bag’s exterior.
