Lets start off with the usual, make sure you do your research, in order to authenticate the wallet, you must know what design you're authenticating and how an authentic wallet looks like. Go through the Men's > Wallets section in order to see different designs, open a specific wallet and check their details. There are many different designs and these wallets range from $150 - $1200. One should know how the designs are and what the logo looks like.
Study the Gucci print, the Gucci print with interlocking G's that is on most of the wallets, belts, caps and other products. Most of the wallets would comprise of that. Pay diligent attention and see whether the wallet's print has any imperfections, if it does so, it's a fake, it shouldn't fade and there should be no smudges.
Like all the other products, wallets themselves are made out of high quality and expensive materials too. They're extremely well crafted. The wallets should feel heavy and not light, light signifies cheap and tawdry. The wallets would be well-sewed, consisting of no imperfections. The fake wallets wouldn't be as well-sewed as those authentic ones, there would be mistakes. The monograms would be poorly applied and not in the correct order. When you get the wallet, compare it with the original one to see whether the monograms are in the right order.
Check the price, like I said wallets by Gucci are highly expensive and that they range from $150 - $1200. Different wallets are made out of different expensive materials but they're extremely well-crafted like all of the other products by Gucci.
When you get your hands on the wallet, check whether the wallet came with the authentication card and an identification card. This helps signifies whether the wallet is original or not.
If you're not buying it directly from the Gucci store, be sure to inquire about the receipt. The receipt is one of the keys to authentication, it's easy and not time consuming. The receipt would also consist of warranties and guarantees. It would be stated which store the wallet has been bought from. The receipt would help a lot.
The packaging, make sure you double check the packaging of the wallet. The wallet would come in a small dust-bag like all the other products by Gucci. The dust-bag would have Gucci written on it and it would be dark-brown in colour. It would come in a box. If it is wrapped in plastic, the wallet is a definite fake.
Always buy your products from authentic stores. In this case, buy your wallets from the authorized dealers, the stores are listed on their website.
