With this gadget, you'll understand all fake designer bags in no time.

The story of the girl who scored a Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis at the flea market for less than fifty euros and who was really authentic, feels like a dream to us that will probably never come true. But imagine, on King's Day you suddenly have a ‘sounds like, smells like, and looks like...’ variant in your hands, then there is no longer any reason for what if panic.

Is it real or not? There is now an app that can tell the difference in no time. All you need is a smartphone and a microscopically small camera. The camera magnifies objects 260 times, making small features even invisible to the eyes of the Anna Wintours among fashion people. Brands add all sorts of things to their products to show that they are authentic: holographic labels, microprints, and even radio beacons. And even unmarked stamp marks, mismatched stitches, and paint errors become visible on camera. The result of the scan can be read on the app on your smartphone.
