How to Spot Fake Marc Jacobs: Real vs Fake Guides

To tell if a Marc Jacobs bag is real, start with the logo and the hardware engravings. On a genuine Tote the MARC JACOBS print is clear and consistently thin, and fakes tend to make the letters thicker, smudged or unevenly spaced. Zipper pulls and clips should carry a clear Marc Jacobs engraving, while replicas can show shallow engravings or none at all. Stitching should be neat and even. Check the inside too, since genuine bags carry a Marc Jacobs logo there, such as the leather The Marc Jacobs tag in the Snapshot's back pocket.
