Do fake Guccis have serial numbers?
More often than not, the serial number is going to be the quickest way to spot a fake Gucci bag. Almost every real Gucci handbag had a leather tag located along the interior stitching of the bag. This serial number tag holds the famous “Gucci” logo but is also your key for identifying a replica vs. the real deal.
Check The Tag And Serial Number
Many modern Gucci bags also have a QR Code printed on a tag, usually located next to the tag that contains the serial number. On vintage bags the number sequencing may vary and have 5 or 7 digits in the first set of numbers and 4 digits in the second set of numbers.
If the bag is purportedly a newer model, and doesn't have a tag, this is an instant red flag of counterfeit. Furthermore, since 2016/2017 and through 2021, in addition to the serial number tag, Gucci began using QR codes, located on a black fabric tag inside the bag to help fight against counterfeiters.
Luxury designers include purchase certificates stating that each bag is genuine or has a serial number inside the bag. This is the evidence you need to confirm if your bag is real or fake. The serial numbers are unique, but it probably has the same ID number as all the others in the batch if you are buying a forgery.
QR Codes. QR codes are a more recent addition to authenticating Gucci bags. The QR code can be found on the small black fabric loop on the inside of the bag. The code will be printed in a white font with a 10-digit code.
If the quality of the printing on the label appears to be mediocre then it might be a fake. Inconsistent reproduction of brand colours or corporate logos are another tell tale indicator. Should there be any doubt in the quality of the label, compare any dubious, suspicious labels with known, genuine products.
Modern Gucci bags have QR codes to authenticate the designer bags. However, the QR codes are in a closed system, so scanners won't be able to scan them. To detect the fake Gucci bag from the real ones with QR codes, the QR codes on the authentic brand are well-shown, whereas it is partly hidden in the fake ones.
