How do I tell a real Marc Jacobs from a fake?
The best way to tell a real Marc Jacobs design from a fake depends on the type of product. Whether you're looking at apparel, bags, shoes or other accessories, check out the tag. Ensure that the brand name appears correctly in the right font. The letters should be crisp and evenly spaced. Also, examine the stitching. If the tag seems loose or the stitches are uneven, you may have a replica on your hands. Materials are important, too. An authentic Marc Jacobs Traveler tote in cotton canvas or Snapshot bag in Saffiano leather, for example, will feel luxurious but also well-made and durable. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage Marc Jacobs bags and accessories.
