A Complete Guide to Comme des Garçons by Rui Di João
In 1969, in the Japanese city of Tokyo, fashion designer Rei Kawakubo founded her first luxury fashion tycoon brand, Comme des Garçons. The house became internationally famous for its innovative fashion designs. One of the brand’s most iconic designs is the Comme des Garçons Play Logo, which has established the label as one of the leading luxury fashion houses of the contemporary era.
Instead of being influenced by design trends, Comme des Garçons has setting design trends of its own. Currently, Comme des Garçons controls almost every aspect of the fashion industry with its extensive line of apparel and accessories. However, interest in counterfeiting Comme des Garçons products has also grown. The company’s success with fashion has made their counterfeit goods easily available. This has led to more consumers gaining an understanding of the company’s authentic products.
Is It Real Comme des Garçons?
In comparing actual Comme des Garçons products and phony products, there are distinct differences in the fabric’s quality and construction. It’s common for phony products to lack attention to detail and have a lower overall quality.
Clothing designed by Comme des Garçons is heavy and has a stronger structure when compared to phony products. A closer inspection of phony products will often reveal glaring design flaws when compared to Comme des Garçons designs.
A Verification of the Comme des Garçons PLAY Heart Logo
The heart logo of Comme des Garçons PLAY has influenced countless other designs. It’s become very easy to determine if a garment has an authentic heart logo.
The characteristics of an authentic heart logo include:
- Even stitching
- Correct Eye placement
- Logo is the correct size and shape
- No errors in embroidery
The same principles apply to counterfeit money. Very few counterfeiters are able to catch all of the small details that make a good quality counterfeit bill. The same idea applies to the Comme des Garçons heart logo. The heart logo is relatively simple, but there are many details that make it complex.
The same principle applies to all Comme des Garçons products. Items made by Comme des Garçons contain high quality fabrics. Zippers and seams are constructed by specifying the tolerances needed for high quality and durability. Comme des Garçons employs professional tailors, and as a result the seams on all of their products are very well constructed.
Comme des Garçons products always come with professional labels. Packaging and other design elements are all executed professionally. Fake products do not come with any of these elements.
Buying Fake Comme des Garcons Items
Always purchase Comme des Garcons items from trusted sources. It’s too good to be true if it’s offered at a price that is way too low.
Check the following when evaluating a potential purchase:
- Images may be low quality or distorted.
- Logos may be poorly printed.
- Labels and/or tags may be missing.
- Seller may have negative/poor reviews.
- Overall, the product may be of very poor quality and unfinished.
Comme des Garçons is a Japanese brand, and a house of various labels that are considered some of the more avant-garde and unique of the fashion world. Because of the nature of the brand, fake items are abundant.
However, the fabric used in each piece is of high quality and so is the construction. Labels and packaging are also of good quality and add to the artistic expression of the brand.
