How to tell an original Tom Ford from a fake
Tom Ford is a perfectionist who has elevated the aesthetics of hedonism and sexuality to the absolute level. His brand doesn't just sell things, it sells impeccability. However, the incredible popularity of the brand has led to the market being flooded with a high quality replica, which is called a “superclone”. Ordinary tips like checking seams don’t work here: scammers have long learned to copy them. To understand how to spot a counterfeit, you need to know the brand's hidden chips, which are too expensive to be duplicated by counterfeit manufacturers.
In this article, we will look at how to distinguish an original Tom Ford from a fake, using unique markers that the House personally controls at the production and design stage.
How do original Tom Ford glasses differ from fakes?
Sunglasses are the brand's most copied accessory. When understanding how to determine the authenticity of a Tom Ford, look at the following details:
Integrated T main marker. On original glasses, the T-shaped metal insert on the temples is not a sticker or paint. This is a separate metal part that is perfectly recessed into the acetate. If you run your finger, you should not feel any gap or protrusion. In replicas, the letter T is often either glued on top, or there is a microscopic gap between it and the plastic where dust accumulates.
Lens Engraving: The brand name is laser engraved on the left lens at the very top corner. The trick is that this is engraving inside the material, and not on the surface. If you try to scrape off the writing with your fingernail, it will remain intact on the original. In a fake, this is often an ordinary seal that wears off over time.
Serial number on temple tip: Individual code is engraved on the inside of the left temple. It usually starts on LP or SM and should be embossed into the material, not printed with paint.
Tom Ford entrusts the production of his glasses to Marcolin SpA. The booklet that comes with the kit must contain a mention of this manufacturer. If the documents indicate another plant or there are errors in the name, this is a 100% replica.
Also note the envelope with the authenticity card. In the original, the envelope is made of paper with the same linear texture as perfume labels. This unity of textures across all brand lines is the best way to spot a fake.
How does a copy of Tom Ford perfume differ from the original?
Spray bottle secret: This is the most elusive trick. If you remove the atomizer and look inside the nozzle of the original, you will see a specific hexagonal structure of the plastic holder. In fakes there is a usual circle.
Look at the bottom of the bottle, for example 50 ml (1.7 FL. OZ.). In the original, the tail of the number 7 is absolutely straight. In replicas it almost always has a slight bend or arched shape.
The sticker on the bottle has a pronounced linear texture. If you run your fingernail over it, you will hear a characteristic sound, like a vinyl record. In paleve, the label is often either smooth or the texture is applied only visually, without relief.
Unique protection methods in every bag
Tom Ford bags are distinguished by their massiveness and deliberate luxury of fittings. Here's how a copy of a Tom Ford bag differs from the original:
Massive zippers: Tom Ford loves exaggerated zippers. The original fittings are made of heavy brass with a deep galvanic coating. If the carabiner or slider seems light, alas, it’s wrong.
Inside the bag, in the most secret place, usually in the seam of the inner pocket, there is always a leather tag with the model code and the phrase “Made in Italy”. In the original, the letters are pressed out very deeply, the edges of the pressed text are perfectly clear.
How to distinguish original vs fake in branded clothing
In Tom Ford clothing, the original and the fake differ in their approach to the little things that are hidden from view.
In Tom Ford suits, the buttons on the sleeves are always functional and can be undone. Fraudsters, when making replicas, often save money and make them decorative.
The brand uses natural horn or corozo. If you tap a button on a tooth, the original will make a dull sound. A plastic replica will sound loud and cheap.
The main tag is sewn on by hand with large stitches of silk thread at the corners. This thread should be perfectly matched to the tone of the fabric, but at the same time have a slight shine.
