This is a guide on how to tell if an item is authentic Juicy Couture. This is especially useful if you are shopping on eBay or an unaccredited online dog boutique with potential "good deals".
**I have nothing against Juicy Couture Knockoffs. I just do not want people paying full price for a Juicy Couture Knockoff. If it is a knockoff then you should only have to pay a knockoff price for it.**

Before you click Buy It Now on eBay or checkout an item from an online dog boutique you should reference how the item should look from a trusted website such as Juicy Couture, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. It is a lot easier to spot a knockoff if you know how exactly the item should look.

Knockoff

Authentic

The colors are slightly different from the original. A big difference is that the embroidery on the authentic version is thicker and has more dimension.

Knockoff

Authentic

Again the colors are different between the two. The authentic is made from terrycloth while the knockoff is made from "soft-velvet" according to the site that I got the picture from.

Knockoff

Authentic

Again with the difference in colors and this time even in the color of the embroidery.

Knockoff

Authentic

Sometimes a knockoff with use a screenprint instead of the embroidery. The padding is also very different from the two. The knockoff has no padding at all, while the authentic is super soft. The screenprint on the inside of the parka is also missing from the knockoff. Also the buttons are different between the two.

So in general knockoff and authentic will usually be different in color and type of material. Also the knockoffs will usually have cheaper buttons, strings, padding, and etc.

Besides what the item looks like there are
KEY FEATURES AN ITEM MUST HAVE TO BE AUTHENTIC.
*If the item has all four it is definitely authentic.*

The first two features are usually replicated in knockoffs, but all Juicy Dog Clothing items have them depending on the style of course.

First: (Most if not all Juicy Dog Clothing Pieces have this)

"Doggy Couture" Embroidery on left front leg of item.

Second: (Hoodies, Coats, Rain Coats, etc. have this)

Scotty Dog Embroidery on the hood.

The last two features are usually not replicated in knockoffs, so combined with the first or two features from above you can definitely know if the item is authentic.

Third:

Juicy Couture Label. (This is stitched in different places depending if you have a shirt, hoody, coat, etc.)

Fourth:

Made in China Label. (This is stitched in different places depending if you have a shirt, hoody, coat, etc.)

So if you have 3 or 4 of the features then you most likely have an authentic product.

Just some notes from buying on eBay.
- If the seller is using stock photo they most likely have a knockoff.
- Authentic sellers will have pictures of the actual product and might even show the juicy couture label.
- If you are not sure if their item is authentic then just ask. Usually authentic sellers will respond to you and the ones with knockoffs will not answer your questions.

I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions about juicy couture items you can send me a PM anytime ^^.

I was looking at the carriers on ebay. It was so hard to tell it they were knockoff sometimes. I never bought because of being nervous. I looked at some used carriers. Sometimes the price was too good to be true.

Thank you for the lesson.
