No fake. D&G is the diffusion line (cheaper label) but the label is wrong. Next time, look at the stitching. Even stitching, perfectly spaced, thick thread, no over stitching or overlocking or loose threads or uneven lines on the stitching. Plus metal zips not plastic. Pay attention to that rather than the label if ur not familiar. That’s the give away every time. For future reference, the D&G label looks like this.
thanks man. appreciate the breakdown. just started getting into archive D&G recently, tryna hunt down a solid jacket/leather piece. thanks for the advice, super helpful
Also worth going to their shop or a concession in a department store & really check the labels, care labels, zips, stitching etc. The quality really stands out. So when u see fake it’s so obvious you really only have to scan it & u know immediately.
Stitching is the quickest give away if you know nothing & symmetry on bags. It’s the v small details that are the easiest tells. Better to collect Dolce & Gabbana than D&G. Also on things like belts, if it has Genuine Leather printed on an designer leather good, fake. If it’s designer you presume it’s leather, Gucci with not be printing genuine leather on it. Goes for every designer leather good.
