Perhaps you have your eye on a beautiful and elegant Mary Frances handbag, but you have heard there are knockoffs being sold and you want the real deal. These handbags are purchased all over the world, so replica makers would make money if they were to duplicate these handbags. Now the big question: How can you avoid being conned by someone who wants to sell you a fake Mary Frances designer bag?

It is unbelievable that in this modern day and age you still have criminals who get away with crime, considering all the technology available to law enforcement, but yes the companies who make fake goods still make enormous profits. The replica manufacturers will stop at nothing to make money, so if they know that Mary Frances designs are popular what will stop them to replicate these as well? How is this practice of ripping someone else’s work wrong many have asked? I mean this artist has a special talent and the artisans who make these handbags work very hard. It is stealing and it is illegal.

Think about it, the counterfeit market is flourishing because there still are people who support them. What really chaps my hide is if someone gets ripped off, thinking they have the real product but someone knowingly sold they something fake.

Here are 7 tips to help you to avoid being ripped off.

1. I’d say that the Mary Frances Designs could be more expensive than they are, but they retail for $100 to $300 dollars. So if someone wants to sell it for $25 you know it’s a fake.
2. Chances are if you see these bags on street corners or flea markets they are fake, so purchase from an honest dealer. Also reputable places know they cannot damage their business by selling fake goods.
3. A brand new handbag will be in a black dust cover bag.
4. Look for a Mary Frances hang tag which is attached. There should also be a metallic logo tag, just like a little medallion. Any Mary Frances handbag made since 2004 will have the oval metal pendant attached with a metal chain.
5. Check if the material it is made of is real, for example smell the leather to see if it is real.
6. Many people turn to e-bay to find a special deal, this is more difficult. Check out the dealers’ reputation and if they explicitly state that they sell authentic handbags.
7. Every bag comes with an authenticity card which has a number on it.

A great advantage to the Mary Frances designs is that they contain a lot of fine detail and are crafted with precision. The replica manufacturers will have great difficulty replicating these designs.

Now you know exactly what to look out for when you purchase your mary frances handbag. So go get your sensational design today.
