How To Spot Fake Juicy Couture Items
This is a basic guide to help you spot fake Juicy Couture clothing. If you're paying for Juicy clothes then you definitely want them to be authentic!
All Juicy Couture Clothing tags are color coded according to size:
X Large - Light Blue
Large - Green
Medium - Beige
Small - Orange
Petite (X Small) - Pink
This is the easiest way to spot a fake. Most fake tags are orange. New Juicy tags will have a TM at the end of the scroll on the right side. New Juicy tags will have a (R) in the scroll after “JUICY COUTURE.”
A Note on Juicy Sizing:
Juicy generally runs small. The sizing charts for the sweat pants are pretty accurate:
(Women’s)
X Large - 14
Large – 10 / 12
Medium – 6 / 8
Small – 2 / 4
Petite (X Small) – 0
The hoodies once again, run small, and are cut/designed for tall, slim frame. If you have any semblance of curves, you’ll generally need to buy larger sizes. Case and point: I’m a small in most women’s tops, but I’m an XL/L in Juicy hoodies. If you are having trouble finding a larger size, try Juicy’s maternity, where the sizes start out much bigger.
Brand New With Tags:
Juicy tags are GOLD (Well, you could even say they’re a metallic-y yellow), but not matte yellow. Most fake tags are easy to spot. Keep a set of authentic tags for reference.

A fresher interpretation of Nina.A new modern princess with attitude, and a more asserted personality.I confess that I don’t know an awful lot about perfume, but I am a huge fan of Nina Ricci’s fragrances, having used Ricci Ricci religiously for a couple of years. This perfume does not disappoint, as it is light, summery and feminine, at the same time as being quite ‘young’ and fresh. It’s an absolutely stunning smell, and it makes me feel all bright and cheery wearing it!
