If you're going to pay Juicy Couture prices, you definitely want real Juicy Couture items. Juicy Couture items are highly sought after, and as such counterfeiters often try to profit on this brand's popularity by producing fake Juicy items. It can be tough to tell the real from the faux, but there are several key elements to look for to help you learn how to identify fake Juicy Couture items and avoid paying for a cheap imitation.
Many Juicy Couture items will have tags that say "Born in the Glamorous USA." Be aware of anything that says otherwise. Also pay attention to the spacing on the tags. Look for letters that are mangled or squished together. Look for any misspellings. These are signs of fakes.
Check that the price tag matches the item. If the price tag says that it is for a white shirt and you bought a black hoodie, be aware that you are probably being scammed.
Look at the "J" on any zippers. Make sure that the "J" is the authentic Juicy J. An incorrectly shaped J can be a giveaway that a Juicy Couture item is fake. Beware of tags telling you to protect your zipper -- they're fake.
