First off, lemme just say, I’m no expert. But I’ve been burned before, okay? You see a *steal* online, maybe even *too* good to be true, and BAM! You’re stuck with something that’s probably gonna fall apart after one wash. And the worst part? It looks…off. Like, not *quite* right.
So, how do you even tell? Well, some sources mention looking at the tags. Apparently, the neck tag *should* say “Dolce & Gabbana” or “D&G” above the full name. But even then, these counterfeiters are getting *good*, y’know? They can copy a tag pretty easily these days. Like, you can probably buy a sheet of fake tags on *somewhere*. Probably Wish.
And the whole “interseason line” thing? That someone mentioned? Maybe? I don’t know, sounds kinda fishy to me. Like, are we supposed to be experts on D&G’s release schedule from the early 2000s now? Gimme a break.
Then there’s the whole “buying in bulk” thing. Supposedly, real D&G is rarely available in a huge assortment of sizes and colors in *every* store. That’s more likely at, like, a really big flagship store… or maybe just a sign that something’s up. I mean, think about it: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Honestly, the *best* way to avoid getting ripped off is probably to just buy from a reputable source. Like, StockX *says* they verify their D&G t-shirts. Which is…reassuring? Maybe? I still wouldn’t bet my life savings on it, though.
