How do you spot fake brand name clothing?

Answer 1

The first time, I bought an Armani t-shirt that looked like the ones you frequently see in Emporio Armani boutiques or the A/X Armani Exchange stores. The way she was able to pull it off, was she did not show a photo of the tag inside the collar of the shirt. When I received the shirt, the tag said, "Hecho en Mexico." Translated, it means Made in Mexico. Clearly it was a fake Armani t-shirt. The seller received numerous complaints from other buyers including myself and was suspended. She even gave me negative feedback because I left her negative feedback. The second time I was scammed by a guy who showed a nice photo lay out of an Armani Black Label suit including the labels. The suit was real but what I received was a cheap wool/polyester suit with a real Armani Black Label tag glued where it would normally be in the suit! There are a lot of Armani fakes listed on a daily basis and I wanted to create a guide to help fellow eBayers from getting duped. I will breakdown the various lines for Giorgio Armani:

A/X Armani Exchange

Armani Jeans

Mani (Sportswear line)

Mani (Suits, dress shirts)

Emporio Armani

Giorgio Armani Neve (very rare)

Giorgio Armani Golf (very rare)

Armani Collezioni

Giorgio Armani (Black Label)

Giorgio Armani Classico (Blue Label)

Armani Privé
