How to Spot Fake Valentino: Real vs Fake Guides

To tell if Valentino is real, start with the lettering. On genuine pieces the logo and markings are engraved or pressed into the material with depth you can feel, while fakes tend to print them flat or engrave them weakly, often with letters spaced too far apart. Stitching should be clean, even and tight, and replicas often show thin, sloppy or uneven stitches.

On Rockstud styles, check the studs. They should be evenly spaced and uniform in size, and fakes tend to make them oversized or set them unevenly. The guides below cover Valentino bags, Rockstud pumps and Rockstud thongs.
