How to Spot Fake Hello Kitty
In month Oct 2010, we have decided to bring in some non-authentic Kitty & Thomas products due to high market demand. We can't denied that, there are huge group of non-authentic products buyers in our market, to ensure we are competence to the market trend, we have no alternative but to offer both authentic & fake products in our eshop.
To further protect our customers who only buy authentic products, Noble Baby will quote these non-authentic products as "non-authentic, or OEM*, or imitate, or fake". And, we also share with our customers, how to spot fake products here. Sometimes OEM* - it can be the way of after export out to Japan/Korea, if the items finishing meet to QC standard. Products can turn from OEM to Authentic products.
1) Security hologram : Fake Kitty products will not come with security hologram. But some good fake does have security hologram. However, fake security hologram are difficult to view the exact Kitty face even under direct light. Authentic security hologram's Kitty character print is clear, sharp and details such as eyes, nose & whiskers are easily sighted.
2) Zipper & sewing : authentic Kitty zippers are made of high quality zip, usually slightly bigger/thicker then the fake one. Take a closer look of the sewing above, authentic bags are sew neatly, with even stitching whereas fake one is not evenly stitched.
3) Zipper pull : take a closer look at both of the zipper pulls. The authentic zipper pull is made of high quality plastic or ABS, with even & smooth cutting. Fake zipper pulls are usually lighter in weight, uneven cutting or with sharp angles which it might injured the little users.
4) Material : authentic kitty products are made of high quality canvas/PU/PVC/polyester. A good example shown at picture above, the authentic kitty's ribbon is round in shape, filled evenly with fiber inside in puffy shape whereas the fake one is not sew evenly (obviously 1 side bigger and the other side smaller), fiber filling is not evenly inserted.
5) Sewing/stitching : Last TEST! Can you spot the different between the 2 pictures above?
Answer - YES, eyes, nose & whiskers : authentic one is stitched in full and wrapped neatly, fake one not.
