First things first: if it’s priced like a Primark tee, it’s probs fake. I mean, come ON. A genuine Gucci tee ain’t gonna cost you £6 or even £13. That’s just…lol. Use your common sense, yeah? If a deal feels dodgy, it probably *is* dodgy. Just sayin’.
I saw this one time, this girl on Insta was showing off her “new” Gucci shirt, and the tag was so obviously wrong. Like, the font was off, the stitching was wonky, and the whole thing just screamed “FAKE!” It was kinda embarassing to watch, tbh. And, tbh, who even cares if someone knows it’s fake? But that’s not the point.
But okay, let’s say you’re looking at something that *seems* legit, but you’re still sus. What do you do? Well, those “real vs. fake” guides? They’re your best friend. Seriously. Pore over them. Look at the stitching (real Gucci is usually perfect, no loose threads!), the fabric, the tags (font, spacing, everything!). Pay extra attention to the details. The Gucci Blade tee seems to be a popular one to fake, I’ve noticed.
Personally, I’d always recommend buying from a reputable retailer. Like, a real department store or the actual Gucci website. Yeah, it’ll cost you more upfront, but at least you know you’re getting the real deal. Plus, you avoid the whole potentially illegal thing about buying stolen goods, which is a big no-no. And honestly, the stress of wondering if it’s real? Not worth it.
