Some auction sellers try to pass off fake Vera Bradley handbags as retired, authentic bags all the time, so it is wide to check it out at the official site first.


    * Fake Vera Bradleys have an out-of-place strap, pocket, or zipper. Once again you can double check the official site for correct placement for pockets, zippers, and straps.


    * An official scripted signature should be seen on the zipper pull with the Vera Bradley Signature. Its important to check the pull as this is an easy thing to forget to check, so make sure the zipper pull does have the Vera Bradley signature.


    * If the item is claimed to be new, look inside for the green Vera Bradley tag. You can usually find the tag inside the purse pocket with a green string.


    * Take a close look at the stitching on the purse. Vera Bradley is a high quality purse so the stitching will be close and tight. Fake Vera Bradley stitching is generally wider apart.
