Authentic Gucci Sunglasses
Packaging:
First of all, note that Gucci is one of the best luxurious brands in the market. Guccio Gucci ensured that Gucci doesn't produce faulty products and Gucci has maintained its accumulating calibre ever since. Good things come in good packaging and same goes for the fine sunglasses designed by Gucci. Note that most of the Gucci sunglasses come with an envelope which has an authenticity card in it, a brown cloth and if the frame you've purchased is made of acetate, you will also receive a booklet regarding how to adjust acetate frames, all of this will be in the gold Gucci box. About all the accompaniments, the color of the items are known to vary. Look below and compare these to the packaging your Gucci sunglasses were in!
Highly emphasize on the font it is written it since it is always the same and please note that the CE marking actually is in the right proportion. Look at the following picture for clarification.
One of the most important things that the forgers forget is the double 'G' symbol on the nose pad of the sunglasses. If your sunglasses come with nose pad check whether the logo is there, if it's not then you're most likely to be having a fake in your hands!
Gucci's sunglasses do not come with a serial number less like their other products. For this product, their is not any serial number so don't be disappointed if you don't see one! However, the sunglasses will consist of the model/design number, color code and the size. You can find this written on either of the temples since it often varies.
The GG represents Gucci and the 1827 or any numbers in that case state the model number whereas the 'S' simply stands for Sunglasses. Followed by that, you will see a 5 digit color code, in this case the code only comprises of letters but at times, it also consists of numbers as well. The first three digits are the color code for the frame whereas the last two digits are the color code for the lens. Most of the sunglasses have the same size but this fact may not implement to all sunglasses. The first two numbers are the lens width, the second two numbers are the bridge width and in the last, the digits state the temple length. However, the last numbers may not be present in some authentic sunglasses so don't be disappointed if you don't see any.
Polarization Test:
If your Gucci sunglasses claim to be polarized, do not heed what they say. Why don't you just see it for yourself? If your sunglasses are polarized, place them in front of your monitor, rotate 60 degrees and if the screen turns darker, it means that you're glasses are polarized! For further assurance, you can try this simple test here. Use the polarized lens simulator below to see what your view should look like. If your lenses are polarized, glare disappears, colors brighten, and visibility comes crystal clear.
The Weight:
The key to authentication is the weight of the product. Just hold the sunglasses in your hands and if they seem to be lightweight or the exterior is tawdry, it's most likely a fake. The sunglasses would be slightly heavy since they do not use cheap material to produce and they have a good durability period.
The Joints:
It is highly suggested that you emphasize on the joints that help you open or close temples. To open or close the temples would require slight power if it is an authentic one but please note, that the strength may fade away over time.
All Gucci sunglasses are made by the Safilo Group, an Italian company. Safilo Group owns and manufactures all Gucci sunglasses, if your sunglasses were not made by Safilo Group, they're unauthentic
