How to look at a classic flap

An example authentication guide. The comparison points are instructional layout, not a method that identifies a real bag.

ExamplePlaceholder entry. Names of houses are used so the pages have a shape. Dates, prices and sentences are not a record and not a quotation.

Start with the shape of the page, not the bag. A Casadi guide pairs a short reading with a table: what a genuine example is said to show, and what a counterfeit example is said to show.

Side by side

Point	Genuine	Counterfeit
Stitching	Example: even, with a stitch count the guide would name once it has been checked.	Example: uneven gaps, or a count that does not match the guide.
Turnlock	Example: the hardware sits flush and turns with a single clean stop.	Example: a loose plate, or a turn that scrapes.
Interior stamp	Example: the stamp aligns with the pocket edge described in the guide.	Example: a stamp that drifts, or a font the guide calls out.
Chain and leather	Example: leather threaded through the chain in the pattern the guide records.	Example: a chain glued or stitched in a way the guide marks as wrong.
