Celine’s catfish bag is one of her more classic bags. The biggest feature of this bag is that it is versatile, no matter what size it is, it can be matched with some. It is super versatile. Now let me tell you how to compare the real and fake Celine catfish bag?

Celine catfish bag authenticity identification

As a very popular bag from Celine last year, the Blet (catfish bag) has attracted many bag fans with its practical and simple and modern shape. . Today, I will introduce to you the data of this bag, such as leather thickness, hardware size, etc., so that you can see the real reason why popular luxury bags are expensive, and how to identify the authenticity of the bag based on some key points.

The best way to distinguish genuine and fake quality is by relying on hardware

The dog buckle of the catfish bag is very thick, about 8mm in diameter (picture below) and has a bit of bronze-gold effect in color.

The height of the dog buckle is about 52mm.

Generally, the so-called "1:1 product" dog buckles on the market are the size on the left side of the picture below, and they are immediately superior to the genuine hardware on the right.

Look at the texture of the leather surface

Identifying the texture of the leather surface is more difficult than that of hardware. Because the same bag type will be made with different leathers and textures, there is a lack of unified reference. The authentic Celine catfish bag that I want to compare with you today is made of pebbled cowhide. Please pay attention to the texture. It is thick and clean. Ordinary A-grade products simply cannot achieve such thickness of skin. Although Celine's foreskin feels heavy, it weighs only 0.985KG, which is not too heavy among large bags.

Look at the color

Luxury bags are generally made of Italian or Spanish cowhide or sheepskin. Top-quality leather not only has good luster, but also has good dyeing quality. Specifically, the red color is thorough and the color brightness is high. Unlike domestic leather, which always has a grayish feeling, the color brightness of the leather material is also one of the ways to identify it. However, this kind of identification requires a high degree of professionalism. Only after long-term exposure to different leather materials can we be confident.

Shoulder strap and whisker width

The shoulder strap width of my large catfish bag is about 18mm, and the whisker width is 14.5mm. This small detail can also be used to identify the authenticity of a bag. comparative data.

How about Celine’s catfish bun?

Celine’s catfish was not on my list. I originally liked the swing. I just tried a micro belt when I was shopping occasionally last year. At the time, I thought it was quite cute, and it can be worn even if it is small. It sells for HK$17,000 in Hong Kong, which is not a very good price. Later, in July, my mother’s friend went to Europe to play, so I asked her to bring one back (actually, the first choice was not Catfish, but H’s garden party. However, I bought Continental Europe from the UK and visited N In this store, the all-leather models were either out of stock or the color was terrible, so I had to switch to Celine in the end).

At that time, I told my mother’s friend’s son that we didn’t want red and black, so the store clerk brought out dark blue and beige minis for him to take pictures of, and finally let my aunt try them on, even though I’m 170cm tall.” "A strong man", the min size is suitable for me, but I am not satisfied with the fact that it cannot be worn cross-body. Finally, I asked the store clerk to take out the micro model and try it out, and finally chose the beige one. The price is 1,600 euros. After the tax refund, I paid about 11,300 yuan. It’s a nice wallet and it’s a great deal!

How to choose a bag

1. Style

I think the style of the bag should be as simple as possible, but it must have exquisite details and good quality. The workmanship of a rough bag will not be aesthetic anyway. I prefer soft bags and don't like hard bags. And many people think that when wearing more clothes in winter, you should carry a big bag, and in summer when you wear less clothes, you should carry a smaller bag. In fact, I think it is just the opposite. If you wear more clothes in winter, you should carry a small bag, which can balance the vision and avoid looking bloated; In summer, if you don’t wear much, you have to carry a big bag so as not to look too light. It’s also for balance. Another very important point is that you should try not to carry cross-shoulder bags in summer, especially if you are a plump girl. I don’t need to elaborate on this truth.

2. Color

Of course, the color should be pleasing to the eye. The purer, the better. As for the matching, it should be based on the clothes. Never match the color of the clothes. For bags that are the same or close to each other, I would rather wear a red dress and carry a green bag than wear a yellow dress and carry a yellow bag. That would be silly, I think. Except black and white.

3. Texture

Of course, leather is best. However, considering the cost, as long as the quality is good, a tattered and sparse texture will never make a good bag. However, it is better to choose sheepskin for bags with bright and deep colors, and cowhide for lighter colors. In short, you can live without fancy clothes, but a sincere and sincere bag is absolutely indispensable! Otherwise, all the fine clothes will become a piece of pale paper.
