Quick Answer
A fake Givenchy bag condition report grades a replica bag section by section: exterior leather, hardware, strap, lining, interior stamp, and base corners. Read the overall grade first, then read the flaw list for each section. A useful report names what is wrong and where it sits on the bag. A report that only says "Grade A" tells you nothing you can verify.

Prerequisites
- The bag in hand, or a photo set showing all six sides plus the interior stamp
- The supplier's batch code or factory code for that production run
- A bright, neutral light source
- A soft tape measure
- The supplier's own grade scale, because scales differ between sellers
How to Read the Report Step by Step
- Read the overall grade at the top of the report before you open any photo.
- Confirm the report breaks the bag into sections: front, back, sides, base, corners, strap, hardware, lining, and interior stamp.
- Match the exterior note against the listing photos, edge by edge.
- Check the stitching note for thread color, stitch count per inch, and any skipped or loose stitches.
- Check the hardware note for plating wear, scratches, tarnish, and loose screws.
- Check the strap note for creasing, cracking, and stitch pull at the attachment points.
- Check the lining note for ink marks, odor, and seam separation.
- Check the interior stamp note for font weight, letter spacing, and depth of impression.
- Measure the bag yourself and compare the numbers with the stated dimensions.
- Ask for dated photos of any flaw the report mentions but the listing does not show.
- Ask what remedy the supplier offers if the bag arrives with a flaw the report left out.
Grade Terms You Will See
- 1:1 or mirror grade: the seller's claim that hardware, stitching, and stamp match the original closely. This is a marketing label, not a condition grade.
- A grade: light or no visible wear. Ask what the seller means by light.
- AB or A-: small scuffs on corners or hardware, interior clean.
- B grade: visible corner rub, plating wear, or strap creasing disclosed in the notes.
- Sample or display unit: handled in a showroom, so expect hardware scratches.
Red Flags in a Condition Report
- Only a letter grade, with no flaw list
- Identical flaw wording pasted across several different listings
- Photos that do not match the flaws described in the text
- No batch code or factory code anywhere in the report
- A grade with no scale definition attached
- A report dated more than 30 days ago with no fresh photos
Legal Note
In the United States, selling or trafficking goods that carry a counterfeit trademark is illegal, and shipments can be seized at import. A condition report describes a replica item. It does not authenticate anything or make the item genuine. Buyers should understand the legal position in their own state before they purchase or resell.
