you can try ebay…i have seen guides to know whether a juicy and chanel are real and since guicci is a great designer, i’d assume they have a guide for it..

Authenticating designer bags is easy if if you know what you are looking for and if you can get up close to them or have really good pictures.
All bags designer bags made by Gucci are made in either France or Italy, so if you can see inside the bag, there should be a label on the back side inside, saying Gucci made in…
Also Gucci bags that have zips and clasps will have Gucci written on, look for the name on the bag and also have a look at the stitching and the quality of the material.
Fake bags will have none of these pointers, and will fall apart very quickly, and also the amount of money you pay for the bag, real Gucci will reach around $900 (£450) and fakes will be pretty cheap.
Do you have any pictures I may be able to tell if its real, look inside the bag and look for the labels and points i made.
Hope this helps you!!

Ha! Well she obviously has zero idea what she is talking about!
Gucci is only made in Italy. There are some fake bags out there that fool even the employees in the Gucci boutiques.
Some of the key things to look for;
The lining
Stitching
Pattern
Zipper
Leather
Hologram
Serial Number
Dust Bag
If the lining has a plastic, crinkle feel - It’s fake.
If there is a wonky stitch or visible seem exposure - It’s fake.
If the pattern doesn’t meet, it looks pieced together - It’s fake.
If the zipper is tough to pull or is plastic - It’s fake.
If the leather is rough, or looks cheap - It’s fake.
If the Controllato card does not have a Hologram - It’s fake.
If the bag does not have a serial number - It’s fake.
If the bag did not come in a black satin dust bag - It’s fake.
I will elaborate on the dust bag.
Gucci dust bags are black satin with the GG pattern all over it, they even have a serial number inside. If the dust bag included was tan or white or looks like cheesecloth or net, it means the bag is fake.
If you send me some photos of the bag, I will be happy to verify the authenticity of it for you.
Take care!
