Marc Jacobs Snapshot Camera Bag: Authentic vs Fake♥

Hello bagaholics!  One of the most coveted bags today - Marc Jacobs Snapshot Camera bag... Before I proceed on how to distinguish genuine from fake bag, here is a short review.

The bag maybe small but it's really spacious.  It has two compartments: can fit a couple of things including a phone, car keys, a small wallet, compact powder and a lippy. Aside from wearing it as a shoulder or cross body bag you can also use it as a clutch. It's a versatile bag!♥

Nowadays, those who produce fake bags can really make a 1:1 copy.   But when you look deeper and examine the bags you can really spot the difference.  Purchased both bags to compare.  

1. Stitching 



2. Brand leather stamping : The "Marc Jacobs New York" - notice the size, font and spacing of the letters.



3. Shape of exterior pocket 


4.  Hardware: Metal stamping/engraving on the zipper pull, ring and shade of the hardware   




5. Leather tassel 



Other information about the bag:

Dimension : 7.2" x 4.1" x 2.3"
Features:

  • Material : Saffiano leather
  • Removable and adjustable straps
  • Double zip compartment
  • Exterior back pocket
  • Lined interior with slip pocket
  • Double J hardware detail on the front
Price: $295.00 + tax

Rating: ♥♥♥♥ out of 5 stars

How about you? Are you also a fan of the Snapshot camera bag?

  2. Another tip based on other's experience is that the letter "N" in New York is closed to the letter "R" in Marc. In the fake bag, N is between R and C in Marc and even N is very closed to R in some fake ones. But for the real one, N is more closed to letter C.
