Weighing the pros and cons of cryptocurrency overseas exchanges

Based on my personal experience, the recommended exchanges for server stability, ease of use for beginners, and fast trading are Bybit > Binance = OKX, and the ranking is Binance > Bybit > OKX in terms of users, trading volume, and cryptocurrency types.
(As of the first half of 2024, BYBIT exchange has surpassed OKX exchange as the second largest exchange in terms of trading volume and number of users)

Leveraged futures trading is available on overseas exchanges, but it comes with great risk along with high profit potential, so investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance, expertise, and market conditions. It is also important to use appropriate risk management strategies (e.g., setting stop losses).

Futures trading expertise is required, as spot trading can also be profitable, and while cryptocurrency futures trading is still a legal gray area, it should be approached with caution, as national laws should be checked for violations in the future.

Luxury goods identification: Interpretation of Nike shoes for the identification of authenticity and false shoes

If we want to buy genuine and genuine goods, we must have enough skills to distinguish between real and fake goods, so that fake goods, smuggled goods and refurbished goods have nowhere to hide! The authenticity of a pair of Nike shoes is first distinguished from the shoe label. If the shoe label is real, the shoes are not necessarily true; if the shoes are fake, the shoes must be fake. Next, let’s talk about Nike shoe labels.

1. Origin column:

Ordinary people can see where the place of origin is. CHINA IS CHINA, TAIWAN IS TAIWAN, VIETNAM IS VIETNAM, AND THAILAND IS THAILAND.

2. Item number column

Pay attention to the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 9 in the item number column. “1” should pay attention to the shape of the top bend; “3” is composed of two small circles “equally divided” up and down; the left side of “4” is thinner than other parts; “6” and “9” “O” occupies about 2/3 of the whole font.

3. Size bar
Knock on the blackboard! The judgment of whether the shoe label is true or false mainly depends on this part.

After 2007, Nike adopted different counterpoint methods for different foundries. According to the counterpoint characteristics, the shoe labels can be roughly divided into the following three types:

Class Y3: OEM factories include Y3, LN2, LN3, LN4, PC8, HJ, etc.;

XC, OEM factories include XC, SZ, VP, VF, PA3N, IA, etc.;

YS class, YS standard can be said to be a combination of the first two standard pairs, which is generally rare. Take the LN3 standard as an example. The size bar is divided into four scales: US, UK, EUR and CM. The following is an introduction to the four scales in order.

The letter U in 1US should be aligned with the second number above the item number, and the central axis of the letter S should be between the third and fourth numbers of the item number.

If the number below US is one integer, the number should be in the middle of the letters U and S;

If the digit below the US is 1 decimal, then the single digit should be below the letter U, and the decimal point should be on the extension line of the date “/” below;

If there is a two-digit integer below US, the ten-digit number 1 should be aligned with the rightmost side of the letter U, and the single-digit number should be left below the letter S;

If the US is below 2 decimals (for example, 10.5, 15.5, etc.), then the decimal point is aligned between the two digits representing “day” in the date below it.

2 For the UK, if the number above U is 1, U is on the left below 1;

If the number above U is not 1, then U is basically aligned with the number above;

The reposition of the UK and the number below it is basically the same as that of the number below the US. If the number below the UK is a single integer, the number is in the middle of the UK;

If the bottom of the UK is a non-integer, the single digit is directly below U;

If the bottom of the UK is a two-digit integer, the number 1 should be aligned with the rightmost part of the letter U; if the bottom of the UK is a two-digit non-integer, the decimal point should be below K.

The central axis of 3 EUR should coincide with the central axis of the number below.

4 For CM, if the factory code above it is two letters, then the first letter of the factory code should be located on the left and half a position in the lower letter C;

If the factory code above CM is three letters, then the first letter of the factory code should be located in the “nearly one position on the left” of the lower letter C.

If there is a two-digit integer below CM, the axis of the two numbers should coincide with the axis of CM;

If there are two non-integers below CM, the decimal point should be between two digits of the year.

In addition, the upper and lower horizontal lines of the size bar,
Left: The upper horizontal line is longer than the lower horizontal line.
Right: the upper horizontal line is the same length as the lower horizontal line.

The two dates on the shoe label, the left and right dates, are not on the same horizontal line, that is, they are not parallel.
The date on the left, near the horizontal line above, will not be in the middle. The first number of the date will be half more than the horizontal line above.

In addition, the NIKE shoe label factory code and its corresponding origin incomplete form (the location of the factory is in parentheses) is attached for reference:
LN2: (Putian)
LN3: (Fuzhou)
LN4: (Putian)
Y3: (Guangzhou)
QT: (Qingdao)
QS: (Qingdao)
SZ: (Nanchang)
HJ: (Jiangsu)
XC: (Guangzhou)
FC: (Guangzhou)
PC8: (Taiwan)
SF: (Shunde)
FJ: (Fuzhou)
IV-N: (Indonesia)
IR: (Indonesia)
IP: (Indonesia)
IW: (Indonesia)
IB: (Indonesia)
PA: (Thailand)
BA: (Thailand)
VP: (Vietnam)
VF: (Vietnam)
VL: (Vietnam)
VJ: (Vietnam)
VS: (Vietnam)
VT: (Vietnam)

Well, that’s all for the small way to identify the authenticity of Nike shoes.

It only takes you 10 seconds to identify the authenticity of Chanel!

Chanel le boy and cf all over the street can’t tell whether it’s true or false. I challenged the subway for the second time a few days ago, and I got lost in the underpass again. I

couldn’t find the exit and ran up and down. I was so anxious that I scolded the person who designed the subway exit a hundred times.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. A Chanel le boy was shaking in front of me, and I followed it in three steps and two steps. Go, follow the back and look carefully. The more you look at it, the more strange it is. Is it a fake again? As soon as I looked up, I found that the owner of the bag was staring back at me. Obviously, I was regarded as a thief…

Since I embarked on the road of appraiser, my occupational disease has been terminally ill. When I see a luxury bag, I want to distinguish between true and false. Sometimes I even want to reach out and touch the leather. No matter how many bags the company has, it is not as much as the people.

In the past, many students had a misunderstanding. They thought that they could see whether the bag was true or false when they stood 3 meters away, but! It turns out that the technology of fake bags is no longer a copycat of the past, and even the old Buddha himself can’t tell the real from the false!

The old Buddha could only smile bitterly in the face of the cottage.

So, as appraisers, we can’t look at the bag in a hundred steps. For the appraisal of the bag, we still need to start from the details.

Unless! Bags from this kind of fake dealer YY!

The identification of Chanel starts from a few points, and of course, it starts with a dust bag.

Big brands strive for excellence in details, while fake goods are different. They are considering profits. They cut corners in material selection and production. There is a lot of knowledge on this dust bag alone.

1. Dust-proof bag

First of all, from the material of the dust bag, the genuine dust bag is thick, and the number of pieces of cloth is fine. The fake equation bag is made of ordinary non-woven fabric material.

The number of branches of the cloth is very large. The equation bag plays the role of dust-proof and moisture-proof storage. If the cloth pores are too large, there is no way to prevent moisture.

We look at the diamond pattern on the genuine dust bag. The authentic pattern, such as brush painting, generally has a difference in thickness, but the fake dust bag is indeed the same thickness.

There is also a hand drawing on the side of Miss Coco in the dust bag. The same authentic hand drawing shows the thickness of the brush we just mentioned. There is also a signature in the lower right corner.

This is the handwritten signature of the old Buddha. There is also a distinction between the thickness of the pen on the same signature.

The fake is on the right side of Miss Coco and The old Buddha has also been deformed, and the whole is very rigid.

2. Logo font

Chanel’s fonts are all designed, and they can’t be used casually typed with word. Therefore, the logo is very important for identification.

Let’s first look at C. This C is a positive round state. The horizontal of H is like a belt. The belt of Chanel’s H is on the upper side, and the letter A is a flat head. The upper part is very different from the A of lv.

The point is that E, the middle of the horizontal is short, and the lower horizontal is the longest.

According to the above picture, let’s judge whether the bronzing is true or false.

This is a genuine bronzing.

3. Let’s talk about hardware.

The polishing of hardware is very important in hardware. Genuine hardware has been polished, such as the one-character screw on the left.

There is a trace of polishing in the horizontal position in the middle. Let’s take a look at the fake on the right. It uses cross screws, and the corners are not polished, which is very rough. From this point, we You can judge whether it is true or false.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the rules for big brands to choose screws. Big brands will choose one-line screws or hexagonal screws as the material for fixing hardware, and will never use cross screws!!!

4. Hardware engraving

The process of fake and genuine logo engraving is completely different. The authentic engraving uses the method of casting engraving. The characteristics of casting engraving are

The bottom of the engraving is smooth with polishing marks, and the curvature of the engraving is round. Let’s look at the engraving of fake goods. The engraving of fake goods is very vague.

The curvature of the same double C logo engraving is not clear, and the bottom is uneven, and the engraving of fake goods is very blurred.

We talked about screws and engraving. Now we can look at it in combination. First of all, the big brands use one-character screws or hexagonal screws, so there is a problem on the left. Then let’s take a look at the engraving. The authentic engraving is cast engraving. The curvature of the engraved letters is very clear, and the bottom of the font is very flat because of polishing.

5. Hardware selection

Let’s take a closer look at the hardware position of the nail buckle. First of all, from the shape of the hardware, the position of the circle must be regular and round, and the position of the fake goods is obviously uneven. Then look at the engraving of the logo on the button.

The authentic engraving is still identified according to the method of hardware engraving. The authentic engraving is clear and the font arc is very comfortable, but the engraving of the fake is very rough and the engraving is also very blurred. The overall engraving is of poor quality.

Through the identification of packaging and hardware details, you can identify the authenticity of Chanel. Have you learned these five simple skills? There are many methods of Chanel’s identification methods, much more than these points.

If you are interested, you can follow us to learn more in-depth identification knowledge~

I have bought so much vintage, but I have a special love for Chanel. The strongest strategy of vintage is here.

In recent years, the vintage decorations of European and American stars have become popular all over the ins. There are countless stars who like vintage, and the shadow of vintage can be seen in almost every set. Vintage often has a luxurious Baroque style.

The magnificent and exaggerated and complicated design is highly recognizable, which is particularly prominent in accessories.

Most of modern jewelry is small and exquisite to highlight the sense of design, while the materials made of precious gold and gemstones emphasize the texture.

Vintage is the opposite, with a strong and historical style, the Art Deco style in the 1920s, the retro elegance in the 1950s, and the swinging trend in the 1960s. The hippie style of the 1970s… The Vintage accessory design of each era also has a distinct historical and cultural imprint of that time.

In terms of accessories, Chanel in the Coco period is mainly made of pearl material, pearl necklaces of different levels and lengths, pearl ear clips with large particles, etc., and the design is also relatively simple. It reflects the elegance and independence of women.

Someone once asked: Why use fake jewelry? Coco replied lightly: “Because they are in such a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.

It doesn’t seem to be as arrogant as (real jewelry).

Since Lafayette took office, Chanel began to try the mix and match of different materials in the design of jewelry. On the basis of traditional pearl accessories, a large number of leather and metal materials were added, and on the basis of maintaining consistent elegance, there was also a rebellious and tough one.

The world of vintage

What is vintage?

Some collectors will think that vintage is made by famous brand designers (such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Balenciaga…). If a famous designer brand has a history of 20 years, it is the most authentic. Vintage items.

In terms of time, vintage jewelry refers to 1940-1980 (even divided into 1990). The preservation rate of these jewelry is quite high, and the most sought-after one is chanel, so that the price of many vintage jewelry has long exceeded that of modern models.

Why is the design style of vintage so exaggerated?

The exaggerated style is also closely related to the background of the times. The 1980s was the golden age of punk. The style of punk also infected jewelry design, and the pompous design slowly showed. For example, the rock elements of the rivet chain were frequently used in jewelry design.

Among them, there are classic double C logo, four-leaf clover, cross, love, glaze, pearl and other elements. It can be said that the whole 1980s can be said to be the creator of the chanel style.

In addition, the exaggerated design of Chanel jewelry and the small black skirt of coco are inseparable. The simple tailoring and elegant style of the small black skirt are sought after by the times, and the first choice of the small black skirt is gorgeous Chanel jewelry.

Why is Chanel vintage so valuable?

Vintage jewelry includes Dior, GIVENCHY, Chanel… It seems that only Chanel is so hot and expensive.

In fact, this has something to do with Chanel’s own craftsmanship. In addition to the brand value and unique design style, Chanel’s gold-plated craftsmanship and color are very special. It is because of the excellent craftsmanship that many Chanel vintages retain today, and the luster is not reduced.

What is the value of Chanel vintage?

Unlike the modern model in the counter, vintage has a clear price, which may be because of its rarity, its appearance, and its craftsmanship. Their value is very different. For example, a Chanel ear clip is even more valuable than a set of Dior jewelry. The price of Chanel vintage jewelry has been increasing all the way. Of course, the value of the jewelry including glass is the highest. Once a friend of mine took a fa Chanel medieval ear. The price of the clip is about 3,000. She has been hesitant. After the last pair of ear clips was sold, the friend regretted it and saw the same model in other stores, with a price of more than 5,000.

Nowadays, the price of many vintages is very high, which is inseparable from the celebrity effect.

For example

The backpack on Duma’s back is a good example. According to a netizen, the price that could be bought at about 6k-7k 3-4 years ago, now it needs to be between 1.1w and 1.5w to buy it.

For example,

At the Victoria’s Secret conference, Rihanna brought this vintage chanel sunglasses covered with pearls, which was sold to more than $7,000.

Therefore, the price of vintage will be affected by various factors, and there is also a lot of room for appreciation.

Is there any fakes in vintage?

As we all know, where there are fake goods where they are popular, and there are no shadows of fake goods in Chanel’s vintage. So how to judge whether it is true or false?

Step 1

After Buddha took charge of Chanel, he invited victore de castellane to become the chief designer of jewelry. Since then, the anti-counterfeiting label behind Chanel has become oval.

Anti-counterfeiting standard modeling from 1986 to 1989 (authentic)

The anti-counterfeiting engraving on the back of Chanel imitation made by inverted molding process is very unclear (fake)

Of course, most of the Chanel vintage jewelry seen now is oval. The authentic label is very clear, and the fake will be very vague.

The anti-counterfeiting marks of the hanging tags used in some necklaces should be judged in combination with the workmanship of other parts (authentic)

The anti-counterfeiting marks of the hanging tags used in some necklaces should be judged in combination with the workmanship of other parts (authentic)

Step 2

Secondly, the most important thing is the situation of the electroplating layer. It should be emphasized that the genuine Chanel vintage electroplating layer is very thick, because the thick electroplating layer makes most of the jewelry still shiny.

Step 3

Finally, the weight is the weight. Generally speaking, the weight of vintage is solid. The metal density is very high, and the very light vintage is very suspicious.

Suddenly I remembered the joke of the gold chain floating in the swimming pool.

Vintage can be used as a separate “discipline”, large environmental background, design concept, material selection, technology…

As a fan of Chanel vintage, I will buy all kinds of goods. One day, when I visit salted fish, I laugh and cry in bed.

It is estimated that this seller himself doesn’t know what vintage is. He doesn’t know how to read the insurance card, and he doesn’t know the year label. He doesn’t know all kinds of Chanel, and even sells vintage. He also says that it’s genuine, which makes people who know how to do it speechless. This is a proper sale of fake goods… It’s really terrible.

Vintage Chanel matching tips

Although I like vintage, how to match it?

Remember a golden rule: Vintage Chanel is a visual focus. When matching, use simple clothes as much as possible to highlight “or” with a vintage skirt with a modern wide shoe bag, with simple makeup.

It is also one of the ways to grasp the “degree”

For example

Vintage with cowboy elements is also a good choice.

In addition, color matching is also very important. In the field of vintage, black + gold is the most classic color matching and the most advanced color matching. It is guaranteed that there is no mistake in choosing black clothing.

The superposition of brooch is very eye-catching and fashionable.

The brooch can also be used on the bag to make a DIY effect.

How to maintain vintage?

One

Don’t touch cosmetics, especially makeup remover, nail polish… These are easy to coat the surface of clothing accessories. If you accidentally get it, remember to wipe it clean.

Two

Try to avoid using the same jewelry often.

Three

Wear it carefully to reduce wear and tear.

Four

When not wearing it, be sure to wipe it clean and put it in a sealed bag to avoid oxidation.

Five

Clean the jewelry from time to time, and use a soft brush to wipe the surface of the jewelry to remove surface stains. It is recommended to apply a layer of fresh-keeping agent.

Have you been planted with grass?

If you like luxury goods, you must not miss the fashionable vintage.

After seeing n pairs of Gucci shoes, I will teach you how to distinguish between true and false.

Whether Gucci’s loafers, mules or small white shoes, they have become everyone’s first choice. Many friends come to ask john5, how to identify the authenticity of Gucci shoes? Many ways to smell the smell on the Internet are very abstract.

Indeed, many times it is impossible to judge the smell through the screen. So today, john5 will give you a few simple judgment methods to judge the authenticity of Gucci shoes.

step1

Of course, the first method is to look at the packaging. If there is a friend who doesn’t have a box through purchasing agent, then skip this step first.

Friends who have a box can get it from this. Generally, the Gucci box is black and white, and the words on the box are also relatively delicate. The packaging of imitations is also different. Let’s take a look at several kinds.

The packaging of imitation products is either complete with bills, or there is a so-called card, or the box is super fake. As an experienced luxury enthusiast, you can see the authenticity of the packaging at a glance. We still need to emphasize that there is no such bill (so-called small note, UnionPay order) for genuine shoes. This kind of packaging can be bought for a few yuan. Except for New Year’s Eve, there is no identity card in the box. This kind of plastic card with colorful light must be fake. No matter which brand is, such a card will be used. There is no identity code above, and such materials are not environmentally friendly. So when you see such a card, the possibility of fake shoes is very high.

So everyone must ask what the genuine box is like?

The packaging box of the authentic Gucci is like this.

Whether it is shoes or bags, Gucci’s box is very simple. Of course, there are also some limited-edition packaging that will be slightly changed. The point is that the surface of the box is not smooth, and there are traces of strips from the picture, which is one of the characteristics of the Gucci box.

step2

Let’s take the popular Gucci mules as an example.

Can you tell the difference between true and false in terms of shape? It looks almost the same.

Looking at the location of the logo, you can find that the colors of the two are different. If the colors are different, the leather materials may not be the same. This is not the key point. What we need to focus on is the imprinting of the logo position.

The imprint on the left is deep and clear, and the imprint on the right is very shallow and not clear, especially in the made in ltaly position.

step3

Let’s take a look at the soles. The materials of the two soles are not the same. The upper one is relatively bright, and the lower one is matte. Looking at the black edge, the upper black edge is very bright, but it is not uniform. Even some places are painted with missing edges. The black edge below is relatively uniform, and the difference in process is still very large. .

In addition to the black oil edge, we can observe that the jagged marks on the sole are also different. Of course, everyone will definitely mention the logo problem of the sole gucci. In fact, the engraving in this position will be slightly different. Our main judgment point is the digital coding inside the shoes.

step4

The upper and lower two numbers are not only in the digital form, but also in the number of numbers. So, which one is authentic? The following is the genuine digital code. The authentic digital code is very distinctive. Generally speaking, it is divided into three groups. The first group is the code, the middle is the code, and the last set of code. There are usually only two sets of numbers for fake goods.

Look carefully at the numbers “4”, “3”, “5” and “1”.

“4” will not be sealed; the upper part of “3” is not round, but a horizontal pen; the vertical position of “5” has an inclination; “1” has a barb on the head.

If you compare carefully, you can find the difference between the numbers.

The number is applicable to Gucci’s shoes. Of course, Gucci’s bag or belt cannot be judged by this method. Bags and belts have independent digital forms.

What is the production process of custom jewelry?

Jewelry customization is a process in which the designer takes the customer’s requirements and combines the customer’s requirements with the designer’s understanding to create a unique piece of jewelry.

In this process, jewelry designers need to weigh the concept drawings with the user’s budget, design style, craftsmanship, cost, etc.

1.communication

After the initial communication, the designer will provide the customer with a simple line drawing with multiple directions. The client selects or offers suggestions for revisions and then utilizes them as a blueprint for improvements and adjustments.

2.design

After deciding on a direction, the designer considers the color and cut of the stone to match the multi-directional inlay technique and creates a hand-drawn drawing using watercolor 1:1 based on the line drawing. In addition to showing the shape and structure, the hand-drawn drawing also shows the inlay technique and details for the pattern maker to create according to the drawing.

Create a prototype version

There are two popular methods of prototyping, one of which is to design a prototype through 3D software.

1). 3D scanner scans the annotation to get the exact size, facet distribution and 3D structure data.

2). The pattern maker uses 3-D software (jewelcad is commonly used) to create a model according to the design drawing.

3).The designed 3d model is output to 3d wax spray printer to produce the wax version.

Computerized prototyping can already produce wax models with a high degree of precision, but it has also greatly improved efficiency.

However, in fine jewelry customization, hand-carved wax has always been used to produce wax plates. Hand-carved wax has irreplaceable advantages in the production of human figures, animals, flowers, plants, etc. As they say, handmade objects have a soul.

In the process of manual wax carving, according to the design drawing, the matching stone position is drawn on the wax mold, and the stone position needs to be carved accordingly.

The cost of hand-carved wax is higher than computer-based carving because hand-carved wax requires high artistic skill and is a task that requires patience and attention.

4.Casting

Whether it is a 3D prototype or hand-carved wax, the resulting wax model must be converted into a precious metal casting through the lost wax method.

1). Sealing

For small pieces such as jewelry, wax trees are usually planted to turn wax molds into metal castings in batches.
When the prepared wax model is welded layer by layer in a certain order on a wax stick, a tree-like wax tree is finally obtained.
Weld the wax patterns as close together as possible so that they do not touch each other.

2). Fill with plaster

Place the planted wax tree and base into a stainless steel tube, slowly inject the plaster slurry, and leave it naturally for 6-12 hours until the plaster hardens.

3).baked plaster

The plaster mold is baked for the purpose of dewaxing, drying, and keeping warm for casting.

4). Pouring liquid gold

After the plaster mold is dry, melted gold water is poured into the nozzle.

5).Plaster mold blasting and cleaning

Since the plaster mold is in a high temperature state, it is necessary to take it out, leave it for a while, and put it in cold water to blast it, which will cause the plaster to explode due to shrinkage. At this time, take out the golden tree, shake off the large pieces of gypsum, soak it in 30% hydrofluoric acid for 10 minutes, then take it out, rinse and remove the remaining gypsum until the surface of the golden tree is clean.

6).Remove the casting

7).Cutting the casting

Cut off the ornaments on the golden tree one by one and wait for the next molding step.

5.Running the model

The molding is all done by hand, with a special calender knife sliding back and forth across the surface of the jewelry to correct and clean up any imperfections and give the casting a preliminary polish.

6.Choose matching gemstones

According to the jewelry design drawing, we will manually sort the gemstones, select the gemstones with suitable color,cut,size to prepare the inlay.

7.set the gemstones

The stone setter sets each diamond and gemstone by hand. It’s a technical job that needs to be done under dozens of magnifying glasses.

8.polishing,electroplating

Once the gemstone setting is complete, the metal surface and details need to be further polished. Some gemstones require surface electroplating.

9.cleaning

10.quality inspection

The final inspection of the appearance, structure, surface, etc. of the finished product, and if it is not suitable, it must be returned to the previous process to be remade.

How difficult is it to identify lv true and false?

Step1 leather label

Of course, it is the most distinctive leather label of lv. This Montaigne leather label is full of strong knockoff flavor.

First of all, in terms of font, the LOUIS VUITTON font should be flat, O should be in a round state, and N should be in a four-way state. Especially in the letter V, V should be pointed below.

Looking at A in PARIS, the genuine font will be one size larger than the font on the side, and R’s legs should be closer.

You can make an intuitive comparison against the genuine picture below.

Step 2 Hardware engraving

Hardware is very important in the identification. When you see hardware, the most intuitive thing is its coating. The quality of the coating can show the advantages and disadvantages of a brand. The coating of high-end luxury goods is thick and textured, and generally presents a matte color. The fake hardware coating is the shiny feeling of local tycoon gold, and it is fake. The coating is very easy to fall off.

Then we look at the genuine engraving on the hardware. The corners are very detailed and there are traces of polishing. The fake engraving is very rough, the corners are not polished, and the bottom of the engraving is still uneven. Compared with the genuine engraving in the picture below, we can find that the engraving of the fake above is very rough.

Step 3 Engraving

It is also a hardware buckle. The engraving of the fake on the left is too rough, and the engraved font is not clear, but the authentic engraving can perfectly reflect the logo.

Step 4 Zipper

Let’s look at the layer and polishing state of the zipper. Each zipper tooth of the genuine zipper will be polished and coated. Because of the careful polishing, the zipper teeth will be very flat. After the coating is even, the whole zipper is very easy to use.

We can find the problem on the zipper according to the comparison chart.

A good zipper can often be hundreds of yuan, which is not something that ordinary counterfeiters can afford.

Step 5 Line

The wiring is also a key point of lv identification. Although lv has embarked on the road of mass production, the process of wiring remains unchanged. The wiring of lv uses wax wire, which can pass through the holes of the leather well, and the wax wire is more firm and more durable than ordinary wire.

The lv line is also very distinctive. The line has an inclination, not a straight line. The straight line is the result of machine sewing.

From these points, you can simply judge whether this bag is true or false. Of course, there are many points that can be analyzed intuitively.

Of course, in addition to these points, we can also make a distinction from the packaging accessories of the bag and other aspects. You can see a more comprehensive lv identification strategy “How to distinguish the authenticity of LV bags?”
