Boy With Goose

To tell if Golden Goose is real, first compare the GGDB brand logo on the shoe to images of the official design published on trusted online resources. Any inconsistencies in the details of the logo may indicate that a pair of shoes is not authentic. Next, consider the distressed details. This distressing should appear random, a signature feature of most Golden Goose sneakers. The distressing is often a mirror image between the two shoes on replicas. Finally, look at the insoles, where you should see the Golden Goose logo and text for its genuine leather and the style name. Consult online resources to ensure that the style name matches your shoe and that the placement, alignment and font of these markings are consistent with images of authentic items. When in doubt, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable authenticator. Explore a collection of Golden Goose shoes on 1stDibs.

To tell if Canada Goose is real, check the inside of the hologram tag. Since its Fall/Winter 2011 collection, every piece produced by the brand has featured one of these anti-counterfeiting tags, which are very difficult to replicate. It is unlikely to be authentic if your piece's hologram doesn't show a polar bear when viewed from different angles. When authenticating older Canada Goose pieces, compare the wash tag, neck tag and Arctic Disc logo on your jacket to images shared on trusted online resources, which can help you spot inconsistencies that allow you to identify a knockoff. If you'd like an expert opinion, consult a certified appraiser or experienced authenticator. Explore a range of Canada Goose apparel on 1stDibs.

Yes, Canada Goose uses fake fur now. In 2021, the luxury fashion brand announced it would phase out genuine fur entirely by the end of 2022.

To tell a fake Canada Goose jacket, first look at the Arctic Disc, usually located near the shoulder. Compare the patch on your jacket to images of the disc on authentic jackets posted on the official Canada Goose website and other reputable online sources. Any wording, font size or image discrepancies usually indicate a jacket is counterfeit.

If your jacket has fur trim, it should feel soft rather than bristly or stiff, and the seam that secures it to the jacket should be evenly stitched and secure. Jackets made from 2017 onwards will also have a hologram logo on a tag stitched into their lining. When you view the tag from different angles, you'll see a polar bear if the jacket is authentic.

If you have lingering doubts, you can request an authentication from Canada Goose within 30 days of purchase. You can find instructions for requesting this service on the brand's official site.
