When looking for designer wallets, we all want to find one that looks high class, but is still within our budget. Of course, if we can get a deal on a higher priced wallet, all the better. The problem comes when you consider where the discounted item comes from. You could end up purchasing a fake wallet that will fall apart in a couple weeks, as opposed to the real thing that will last for years. If you take a few minutes to look over a few specific things you will be able to spot a fake wallet most of the time. Plus, if the wallet passes all these tests and it still is a fake, it is a well made fake and might just be worth purchasing anyway.
Let your instincts be your first warning sign and take a long look over the wallet. If you can check a photo from the designer’s website against the wallet you are looking at, even better. If you can’t find the wallet on the website, then that should be a big red flag. Look over the edges of the wallet for any glue residue. A high quality designer wallet will not have any glue at all. Look at the packaging the wallet comes in too, most designers provide a well made box to go with the wallet.
The quality of the materials and how they are assembled is another thing to look over when purchasing designer men’s wallets. Looking inside the wallet at the lining is important, because most will have specific lining from the designer in it and not something generic. The stitching should be clean and even, a few threads that are crooked or loose will be dead giveaways. The feel of the material is important to, just running your hands over the surface and interior can give you an idea of whether the material is bargain basement or the finest leather available. Carefully inspect the logo as well for misspellings, slightly altered letters, or other tiny flaws.
Looking for discount designer wallets can be a bit tedious, but you want to make sure you are still getting the real thing. No sense in saving a few bucks if you are getting fake designer wallets. Careful attention to the construction of the wallet will allow you to dismiss most fakes. The various special touches that designer’s put in their wallet are easy to spot when missing; things like the logos, the specialized lining, or the high quality stitching. Being diligent in your wallet selection will let you avoid most fakes.
