Now that you know what Bape outlet is all about, it is time to discern the real ones from the fake ones. Some people would call them Fape, or fake Bape, and there are tons of these being distributed across the web. You won't be getting good quality if you settle for imitations of the real thing. Here are some tips to note to ensure that you are getting only real Bape items.
Bape clothing does not manufacture sizes for XXXL and 4XL, so check the tags carefully. Furthermore, the face of Milo on each tag of Bape is brownish in shade and not a bright orange as in most imitations. Though a lot of internet stores are selling Bape items, do remember that only two stores in the US are official dealers of the fashion line, and those are in New York and in Los Angeles. There is a noticeable difference in the brightness of colors when comparing fakes and originals, as well as how prints are made, and how studs are sewn.
Don't be fooled if some websites offer to sell you Bape apparel for cheap, because the original ones really cost a lot more. Take for example one ladies tank top, which retails for about 6,000 yen, equal to about $60. Some sites will sell this for half the price, so they are likely to be fake Bapes. Hoodies and jackets are well over $400, so take note of these rates when you shop online.
Don't settle for the fakes just because the prices are enticing. Fake Bape accessories and clothing are of low quality, and are nothing like the originals. Be more careful when you view auctions on eBay and other sites, so you won't end up with a Fake.
