I have a question… I have heard that there is aplace in karachi where one can purchase GENUINE designer handbags at an unbelievably silly price.
Hand’s up who knows if this is true??? I suspect fakes, but would be interested if anyone can vouch for the genuine article.
Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
And also, how does one spot a fake? Can it be safely said if there r fraying threads, its fake?
Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
Various ways to spot a fake, although it's getting increasingly difficult nowadays. Best way to find out is to check the serial number is genuine (usually you can do it online - different sites for different brands)
Otherwise, stitching should be even, the lining should also be good quality as should the hardware. If it comes with a horrible looking nylon dustbag then that's also an indication that it's a fake.
The biggest clue is in the price though. If it's too good to be true then it usually is a fake. Even when you take currency conversions into account, manufacturers nowadays try to keep their prices adjusted to reflect the same value - which I found out recently when I tried to buy something from D&G on a trip to madrid. Better off buying it duty free in the airport especially during sales.

You can get real designer handbags from Karachi (I got one at a shop from the Point Mall a few years back but it has since closed down) I have heard there are some stores in hotels etc however the prices are not that low. I got a bag that usually retails around $550 at the time here and I got it for $360 I recall, its genuine with the controlo card etc and I took it to Nieman Marcus here and the Gucci store and compared it to the real thing etc. But if it looks too good to be true it probably is, if someone is sellin you Chanal bags for $200 its a jip.
One reason why you can sometime get cheaper bags is that you can find bags that are several seasons old hence they are priced low by the orginal manufacturer but those bags are no longer available in the west.

yeee if it has fraying threads its fake...sldo luk out for scrathchess..fading of clolourr...etc

Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
For Coach bags, they should always have a leather tag in the front.. the fake ones have a metal one.
Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
I can so not relate to this intense obsess with designer bags
Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
they are fakes... good fakes they call them FIRST copies.. the shop is shopolic at a place called the 26th street.
but i wouldnt risk buying gucci/ chanel from karachi
My Gucci bag is totally legit. I had it checked by a Gucci store but I guess it is a risk. Chanel is higher end so might be an issue. Coach is not in the same league! I dont' even think Pakistanis know Coach. You can get Coach bags for $60 on Ebay.
One really easy way to spot a Gucci fake is if the controlo or a prcie tag is attached to the bag with a tag... Gucci has a controlo card with a unique # that is entered ito a system when you buy it. Sometimes stores will put a tag on it but a 'Gucci" tag should never be attached to the bag.
For Chanel the C's are usually wrong. for LV the logos or the motiffs should never be cutt off in the stiching and are evenly spaced. Also the inside is always linned and the leather will darken over time with use.
I guess I have a bit of an obsession with bags! You just carry them more than you can wear an expensive outfit, or even some heavy jewelry...

I'm not sure about Karachi. But My cousin recently sent me two burberry hand bags (my fav brand in bags) from lahore. I checked their price online on their website. One bag was listed as $790.00 and the other one was $950.00. I checked serial # and confirmed it was authentic. When I checked the prices I knew my cousin didnt pay that much. So, I asked and she told me how "stuff gets smuggled to pakistan." The store where she got the bags sells smuggled branded hand bags. She got each for around Rr 12,000 which is $200 canadian and is a lot cheaper compared to the original price.
Re: Designer Handbags in Karachi???
