First of all, many of the designer handbags use top grain leathers that are specifically designed for that individual handbag. Those that use leather do so to make the bag look better with continued use, therefore, if the leather feels thin or "cheap" in anyway, it could be that it is not an authentic handbag. If you are buying it from an individual ask them where they bought it, sometimes asking questions will throw them off, obviously, if they tell you they bought it at a deep discount retailer, you know it is a fake.
Secondly, let's face is, what is appealing about a designer handbag is not just the look or function of the bag, but the fact that everyone knows that is was expensive. Therefore, finding a designer handbag for half or more of what you know the bag costs is typically a good indication that it is not real. However, there are some very bold sellers of fakes out there that attempt to sell the imitations as the real deal and sell them at comparable prices to "fool" those that are not familiar with the handbag or the designer.
Last but not the least, the hardware on designer handbags will feel heavier and of better quality than those that are found on fake handbags. Pay special attention to the designer emblem or name as it is engraved or embedded in the hardware; it should be perfect with no fading of the letters or messy look. Often the hardware is what will give the bag away as a fake faster than anything else because each designer has their own special way of making the hardware and no matter how much it is studied, there is no way for it to be copied exactly. Use a magnifying hoop to really check out the various buttons and other hardware to see if anything looks amiss.
All in all, One way to ensure you are getting the real deal is to buy directly from the designer's boutique in finer department stores, or in their own store, depending on the designer. If you trying to save a few dollars you can choose the replica handbags. http://www.topbagclub.com/
