How to Spot A Fake Gucci Interlocking G Buckle Belt

Gucci belts are known because of the fine Italian Craftsmanship. Different stuff from Gucci has been famous since years. They are known for their simple yet elegant design. Fake Gucci belts are hard to spot because there are more and more knockoffs in the market. Not only the belts but other products by them as well. Here are some steps to teach you how to spot a fake Gucci belt: 

• Spend some time on their website and look for the design you want. The website is highly organized and it wouldn't be a problem to search for the belt you like. 

• Gucci belts are highly expensive so more like Louis Vuitton and other famous designers they won't have any imperfections in their belts, everything would be equal and not even a slight mistake in their pattern or stitching would be there.
• Their belts start from $225 and they are never for half-price or on sale, you can kiss the dreams of buying these belts goodbye. You won't get these belts cheap.

Packaging: 

• The belt comes in a bag which is dark brown and consists of two ropes on the top, the ropes will be of good material and you can feel that the belt is worth something just by touching the bag. The bag has the G pattern engraved on it and it will have GUCCI written on it in capital. On the bottom of the bag, there would be written Firenze 1921.
  
   
• It will then have a dustbag in it which is dark brown and has the same ropes as the bag's. The dustbag will have Gucci written on it on the middle of it. While opening the dustbag you can smell the scent of fine leather.

The Belt: 

• The most important thing of all, the belt. The belt will be made out of Guccissima leather. If you touch the belt you'll be assured that it is worth your money 
• The belt from the inside will be beige coloured (would vary if a different type of belt is bought)
• The belt would consist of 5 holes
• The belt will have GUCCI, made in Italy written on it followed by the serial code of it. It may vary which country it is made in, though this is the most common one. Belts that have been produced after 2014 will have the serial code just left to the buckle on the inner side of the belt.
• The belt will have a strap on the inside of it                                                                                                                                                                                             

 

The Buckle:

• |The GG Imprime Belt will have 8 screws, two of them would be hidden under the strap. Although, the new model has 6 screws on it. 
• The buckle would be made out of Plexiglass and Nickel hardware, the hardware varies because their are many Interlocking G Buckles belts so I can't state all of it. You can check it from the belt's description
• The belt's buckle would make a unique sound if tapped by your nail or a tuning fork, less like pure metal or steel so you can recognize whether it's a fake or not
• Their would be a strap on the inside of the belt

The Receipt: 

• The receipt comes in a receipt holder, it's rectangular and has the G pattern on it
• It would have Gucci written on the middle of it and Firenze 1921 on the bottom of the receipt
• The material of the receipt holder will be the same as that of the bag
• The receipt will have your name, the shop where you bought that belt from
• The belt would be categorized as Men's>Belt
• The date and time would be stated
• The receipt would have the serial number of the belt, if you type that serial number in google, it will show you the link of the belt from the original website of Gucci.

Tips:

• Always buy your products from the outlets of Gucci, never from any other stores
• Whatever store you're buying it from, search the store on Gucci's store locater
• You will be heavily taxed for the belt so if the belt is of $295 they would take $375 from you
• You will never get the belt cheap
