Examine the interior. An authentic Gucci bag will have a serial number on the inside pocket. It will also have a small inscription on the inside, detailing where and in what manner designers made the bag. A pair of Gucci shoes should bear a small tag proclaiming, "Gucci - Made in Italy," with a serial number below it. Fake Gucci products have no serial numbers or blurred numbers.
