The brand is good enough for celeb icons
Beyonce, Angelina and ScarJo, and you want a piece of it. Getting real Armani
sunglasses can showcase your designer diva status, but falling for fake Armanis
can blow your cred fast. Learn how to spot fake sunglasses and save your cash
for the real deal. You deserve a treat, and what's better than Armani
accessories?
1.Fold out the hinges on the sunglasses in question,
inspecting them while doing so. True Armani sunglasses have well-made, sturdy
hinges that can stand up to daily wearing. Knockoffs usually have flimsy
hinges. If the hinges seem uneven or shoddily constructed, you have a fake.
2.Examine the product tag. If the printing is sloppy
or doesn't match the font of the Armani logo -- an all-caps serif font similar
to Times -- you have a fake. If "Armani" is misspelled, or the tag
says "made in China" or something, it's a fake. Real Armani
sunglasses are European-made.
3.Look for the designer's name written on the inside
or the outside of the temple (the piece that goes from the glasses to your
ear). Real Armanis have the brand name written in white or another contrasting
color.
4.Ask to see the packaging. Authentic Armani
sunglasses come in a padded case, so you can protect your investment. The case
should have the designer's logo on it and be well-constructed. A worn-out or
flimsy case, or no case at all, are sure signs you're being bamboozled, so hold
onto your wallet.
5.Shop wisely: Hit up authentic designer boutiques or
shop at the Armani website and licensed Armani stores (see Resources) to ensure
you're getting the real deal
