- 1). Know where to purchase YSL Muse Bags. The YSL Muse Bags can be found on the YSL website, a Yves Saint Laurent store or any department store that is authorized to sell YSL Muse Bags. You can find which stores are authorized to sell the YSL Muse Bags by visiting the YSL website. If you find a YSL Muse Bag in any other location, such as a street vendor, then it may be fake.
- 2). Know the design of the YSL Muse Bag. The YSL Muse Bags come in different styles, some with long handles, and others with short handles. All of the YSL Muse Bags possess a sophisticated appearance and are made with either leather, patent leather or suede. All YSL Muse Bags have the YSL logo either on the interior or exterior of the bag. You can analyze the design of the YSL Muse Bags online or at the YSL store.
- 3). Feel the texture of the bag. In order to tell a fake YSL Muse Bag, feel whether the bag has a rough or smooth texture. The YSL Muse Bags generally possess a smooth texture. The suede and leather bags are soft, while the patent leather bags are harder. If the bag has a very rough texture and the material appears to be falling off the bag, it may be a counterfeit.
- 4). Examine the durability of the bag. The YSL Muse Bags are of high quality, have good material, and are therefore sturdy and durable. Be wary if the bag has uneven stitching, plastic zippers or appears to be falling apart.
- 5). Look at the tag of the bag in order to determine where it was made. YSL Muse Bags are made in France or Italy.
- 6). Look for the YSL logo. The YSL logo either appears on the exterior or the interior of the bag. It either consists of the words "Yves Saint Laruent Paris" or the signature "Y."
