Herve Leger Serial Number
There are a lot of authentication misconceptions out there about Herve Leger tagging. People who are new to Herve Leger oftentimes think that all Herve Leger dresses come with a serial number, as all current dresses in stores have serial numbers. There are those who think that as long as HerveLeger.com accepts a serial number, that the dress with that serial number is authentic. This post provides a few authentication tips and dispels the mystery of the Herve Leger serial number.
There is a lot of wrong information out there about Herve Leger authentication. For instance, the two on eBay are completely wrong. One of them even uses a picture of a fake dress as an example of what an authentic should look like!
Facts about serial numbers:
- HerveLeger.com will accept many serial numbers to be registered including fake numbers. Just because you can register the dress doesn't mean that it is authentic. When you register, it signs you up to get emails.
- Fake Herve Leger oftentimes come with serial numbers too.
- Not all authentic Herve Leger come with serial numbers. Older dresses from 2008-2009 should not have serial numbers. If an older style from 2008 has a serial number, you'll know it's a fake.
- Dresses with serials will have a larger number if it was produced at a later year. Example: Dress from 2012 will have a larger number than one that was produced in 2011.
- Fake dresses do not have common faked serial numbers. Counterfeitors are good at producing numbers.
- Both fake and authentic serial numbers are usually 8 digits and start with 00.
- If a dress does not have a serial number on the main tag, but comes new with tags, and one of the tags holds a card, this dress is a fake! A serial card is only provided when there is a serial number on the dress. Not all fakes make this error, but some do.
- Sometimes looking at the font of the serial number can help you determine if a Herve Leger is fake. However, many fake Herve Leger dresses do a good job on the font of the serial number.
***Note***For proper authentication, the entire article of clothing should be evaluated, not only the tagging. Article was written in Spring of 2014 and will be most accurate for current 2014 and earlier dresses.
