How to spot a fake Brighton handbag or purse

 

Brighton handbags are known for designing products with a message. Many of the items in their collection have a defining detail that gives them special meaning. Whether it is love notes engraved on a bracelet or a handbag adorned with a treasured photo, Brighton products help create lasting memories.

 

From our experience we have never come across "exact replicas" or "mirror images" of Brighton Handbags. Many designers such as Louis Vitton, Gucci, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, and Prada have replicas that are very hard for a buyer to recognize. Most of these handbags replicas are made in China and have very low quality. Brighton on the other hand has "look a likes" that are not exactly the same but might have the same shape or have similar heart shaped silver accents. These are pretty easy to recognize. Make sure to check the label to see if there is a serial number.
 
Here is the best way to check if a Brighton is a authentic Brighton handbag. If you are looking for a Brighton leather handbag, check the interior for the Brighton label. The Brighton label is a real leather patch that has a serial number on it, and also contains the Brighton creed.
 

  

If you are looking for a Brighton Straw Handbag check the interior for the Brighton label. This label is a little bit different and it will not contain a serial number on it.
 
 

Brighton Handbags with "MARKED OUT LABELS"
 
It's posiible you might also run into a Brighton leather handbag or Brighton straw handbag that has the serial number marked out with an X or the serial number may be fully scratched out. These handbags are usually authentic, but have been purchased from an outlet store. These handbags are usually overstocks or discontinued styles of Brighton handbags. The Brighton warehouse will mark these handbags so people cannot buy the handbag from the outlet store only to return it to a Brighton retail store for full price.

 

 

 

The last thing to be aware of are Brighton "seconds". Brighton does sell seconds and the handbags will contain flaws of some sort. Brighton will tag these handbags as a second. Always ask a seeler if the handbag is a second and if so what flaws the handbag contains.

 

When looking at Brighton handbags on the internet, always be cautious, scrutinize the pictures, research the seller, and always ask for a guarantee of authenticity. There are some great deals for designer handbags to be found on the internet. Just make sure what you buy, is what you get.
