Superfakes: The new breed of knockoffs that are so good, even experts can’t tell them apart.
July 10, 2023
Superfakes are a new breed of knockoffs that are so good, even experts can’t tell them apart. They are made with high-quality materials and are often indistinguishable from the real thing.
Superfakes have become popular in recent years due to the rise of social media and the e-commerce boom. Gen Z consumers are increasingly interested in luxury products and are fueling a movement that embraces knockoffs as subversive.
Superfakes are often made in China, where manufacturers have access to the same materials and techniques as the fashion houses. They also often buy the real designer handbags to study how they are made.
Superfakes can be difficult to spot, but there are a few things to look for. One is the price. Superfakes are often more expensive than average knockoffs. Another is the quality of the materials. Superfakes are typically made with high-quality leather and stitching.
If you are unsure whether a handbag is a superfake, you can take it to a reputable authenticator. However, even authenticators can sometimes be fooled by superfakes.
The fashion industry is losing billions of dollars each year to counterfeit merchandise. Both designer brands and third-party marketplaces have invested millions in combating counterfeits, but the issue is so widespread that it’s impossible to stop them all.
Here are some tips for avoiding superfakes:
- Buy from authorized retailers.
- Do your research. Read reviews and look for red flags, such as suspiciously low prices.
- Be wary of sellers who are not willing to provide proof of authenticity.
- If you are unsure, take the item to a reputable authenticator.
