The Documentation Designers want to assure you that you’re buying the real thing. I own a couple of designer bags and shoes, and they always come with the right boxes, identification cards, and other info that ensures authenticity. If your designer item arrives in a plastic bag with tags affixed – and
without any documentation – it’s most likely a fake. High-end designers never attach the price tag to their items, and they usually send them encased in dust covers, not plastic bags.
