Vivienne Westwood handbags.How to spot a fake.

There are many fake Westwood handbags for sale on ebay, here is a way of spotting them and avoiding paying a fortune for a fake! I have bought some good copies in the past but I have only paid a fraction of the original price and have been happy with my purchase. Firstly look for the word authentic, this means not a copy, anyone selling a fake under this title can be done for selling these goods. IfVivienne Westwood style is in the title they are telling you it is a copy, fair enough, bid accordingly. If it just says Westwood handbag look at the starting price, if it is listed as new and the starting price is 99p there is no way it is real! Most Westwood handbags I have bought in her shops have been around the 300 price tag the cheapest I have bought was a canvas one for 150 so that gives you an idea of prices. Another way of telling if it is a fake is to look at the gold or silver engraved plaque inside the bag, many sellers include a photo of this, on the fakes the W of the Westwood is not correctly written, hard to explain but if you see the two together you will see which is the fake.Some Westwood bags are being made in China for sale in her shops but these are her cheaper ones. All the others are made in Italy. If you are still not sure, look at the other things the seller is listing on ebay, if they are only selling similar handbags then the likelyhood is that they are selling fakes. Some fakes are amazingly good value just don'tbid a fortune on them and you'll get a bargain,( don't tell Viv!) Happy bidding!
