Note: On the fake Alana logo/label (left), the poor quality of the stamp impression is clear. The [M] has a chopped off bottom right leg, the [U] has a chopped off upper left prong, the [B] is shifted up a little too high, the second [R] has the right leg chopped off, and the [Y] has mis-prints on both of its upper prongs. Also, the gold mulberry tree to the left of the Mulberry stamp is the wrong shape. Notice on the bottom left of the tree branches there are two leaves out of place at the lower left, and on the right side, the branches do not protrude far enough out. It is not even consistant with the mulberry tree that is etched into the oval hardware. Hardware: Many phony Alana handbags have been spotted with brass feet on the bottom of the handbag such as in this Hermes example. An authentic Mulberry Alana does not have any brass feet on the handbag bottom. Any brass hardware feet seen on the bottom side of the handbag should raise an automatic red flag. Fake mulberry handbags buckles are manufactured at times with incorrect distances from the zipper line. This is another example of the asymmetry of many counterfeits. An authentic Alana buckle insert should be roughly one inch from the zipper edge. Anything further than this give or take, should raise a red flag. Also, counterfeit Alana handbags will often times get the actual number of holes incorrect, (which is an example of an error detail). The correct amount of buckles inserts on an authentic handbag is 10. Any more or less than 10 allotted holes should raise a red flag. The width of the buckle area on an authentic Alana bag is about 3cm. [ebay] New Mulberry bags Interior: An authentic Alana handbag interior is generally made of suede. Often times fakes are manufactured with cheaper linen interiors assuming that they can cut a few corners on the interior lining and the general consumer will not notice. This is true of most top designer handbags. The lining is always a good place to look for tells. Also inside an authentic Alana should have an interior pocket. This pocket should close from the left side to the right. This is important because it is a detail that many counterfeiters overlook. The interior pocket on a Alana handbag is a good place to look for incorrect pocket closing position. Accent fixtures: Make sure that the Alana handbag has a single shoulder strap. Some fakes have a double strap, any multiple straps on an Alana bag is a glaring red flag. Also check the strap stitching. Many fake handbags have the stitching coming strait across. An authentic Alana should have the strap stitch lines come (taper) to a point. 
Note: The image (left) of the fake Mulberry is an example of a handbag that has an incorrect shape. Notice the pocket or pouch is lopsided at the bottom. Also the handbag has a white string tied to the tag, another sign that the handbag is fake. The correct color string on an authentic Mulberry is black.
