First off, the biggest giveaway is almost always the price. If you find a Versace tracksuit for like, 20 bucks at some random discount store? C’mon, use your head! That’s faker than a reality TV show. I saw someone mention finding one at Burlington, each piece listed originally for $130 but being sold for $15? Yeah nah. Too good to be true, usually is.
Then there’s the stitching. Real Versace? The stitching is like, perfect. Seamless, almost invisible. Fake stuff? Sloppy. Discolored. Think about it – they’re cutting corners everywhere, and the stitching is a dead giveaway. You might even see stray threads hanging out, which is a BIG red flag. Like, seriously, who’s gonna let that kinda thing slide on a luxury item?
And don’t even get me started on the tags. Authentic Versace will have high-quality tags. I have heard that fake tracksuits sometimes don’t have proper tags, and that the tags they do have “didn’t look right overall.” Yeah, that’s not good.
Also, the fabric itself. Versace uses good quality materials, duh. Feel the fabric! Does it feel cheap? Does it feel like it’ll rip if you breathe on it too hard? If so, you’re probably holding a fake.
Now, I saw someone mention they found a tracksuit and couldn’t find any matching pictures online. That’s kinda sus. Versace usually has their stuff plastered everywhere! But sometimes, maybe it’s an older style, or a super limited edition thing. But still, proceed with caution, you know?
