- 1). Know the real thing. Before you start shopping for a Gucci wallet, you need to know what an authentic one looks like. Visit websites, such as gucci.com, and browse through the wallets so that you get an idea of what they look like. Browse popular fashion magazines for Gucci ads that you can take with you when you're shopping if you're unsure about what the logo or design should look like.
- 2). Note the quality and the details. Gucci wallets are made of the finest quality materials and are extremely well crafted. The wallet's materials should feel heavy duty, not flimsy or cheap. Look carefully at the details on the wallet. Logos and monograms should be carefully affixed and clearly marked without fading or smudges. All stitches should be well sewn, close together and essentially invisible. Fake Gucci wallets will have frayed stitches, loose embroidery and poorly applied monograms.
- 3). Know the Gucci logo. Study the logo and compare current logos with the logo on the wallet you're considering for purchase. Fake wallets often have fake or odd looking logos. Authentic wallets may have a logo on the inside of the wallet.
- 4). Check the price. Gucci wallets typically don't go on sale, so any wallet that varies greatly in price from the original retail value is not the real thing.
- 5). Check for extras. Gucci handbag products typically come with extras that identify the product as authentic. These extras include Gucci boxes and product identification cards.
- 6). Stay away from fraudulent vendors. Gucci.com provides consumers with a list of retailers at which their products are sold. Stick to these stores, and you'll never have to question whether you bought a real Gucci wallet or were tricked into buying something far less than authentic.
