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:

Can you check this one?
Hi, Thank you also for taking time to visit and read my post. Are you planning to buy one? I can source it for you. I also have an online boutique. You can find me on Facebook - Fabulousity by Chiq or www.facebook.com/fabulouschiq and on IG @fabulouschq. :)
DeleteAnother 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.

Deletehi, do they have serial numbers in the Snapshot bags? thank you
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for reading my blog. My authentic bag does not have a serial number (because its the older version of the bag). Not really sure if the newer version have it. :)
