Neck Label
In this example, the counterfeit label exhibits several font inconsistencies, including the letter ‘b’ appearing disconnected in the middle, missing the sharp thin line to top, and the letter ‘c’ misshaping its characteristic extended overhang.
The ‘TENNIS CLUB’ text is poorly replicated, showing errors such as a malformed ‘S’ and letters that appear conjoined.
Additionally, the stitching on the size label extends well beyond the label’s edges on both sides, which is inconsistent with authentic craftsmanship.
Neck Label
In this example, the ‘CASA BLANCA’ text shows multiple font inconsistencies, most notably letters 'C', 'S', 'B', 'L', and 'N' with their serif structures differing from the authentic design.
The ‘PARIS’ text is rendered in an incorrect font, most notably with the letter ‘A’ appearing significantly wider than it should.
Neck Label (Back)
In this example, the backside of the neck label is extremely poorly made, with threads loose versus the authentic's neat and tidy label.
Additionally, the authentic features fine white thread details extending from the letters, which is a subtle element that is missing on the counterfeit.
Wash Label
In this example, the counterfeit label displays a noticeably smoother print finish compared to the textured finish found on genuine wash labels.
The font used is incorrect, with the letters ‘A’ and ‘L’ being the most noticeably different.
Additionally, the counterfeit misplaces the dashes in the model number, positioning them too high and omitting the dash between ‘001’ and ‘10’.

Additionally, the dashes in the model number are positioned too high.

Wash Label (Continued)
In this example, the counterfeit label misprints the number ‘30’ in several areas across the tag.
Additionally, the text appears overly thick, causing multiple letters to merge together and compromising legibility.
Wash Label (Continued)
In this example, the counterfeit label misprints the wash labels, most notable in the '30' and 'W' text inside the final wash symbol.
The dots positioned at the top of the label are printed so heavily that they resemble a thick line rather than the fine, delicate dots seen on an authentic label.
Additionally, the counterfeit's text lacks the same spacing visible in an authentic label, with letters appearing too close to one another and some conjoining.
Wash Label (Continued)
In this example, the counterfeit label features overly thick text, causing the letters to appear cramped and poorly spaced.
Additionally, the overall text size is noticeably smaller and lacks the correct proportions when compared to the authentic label.
