How to correctly identify a fake Chrome Hearts T-shirt by its label


What I feel is that there are too many fakes Chrome Hearts accessories and clothing in the market. So how can I be sure that I am buying a real Chrome Hearts T-shirt? Chrome Hearts clothing is not exactly cheap, so I want to be 100% assured of what I spend is the real and best quality.

A lot of people has been asking me to do a more in depth research on how to correctly identify the authenticity of Chrome Hearts T-shirt. In response to that, I went to the Chrome Hearts retail store in Central Hongkong Prince's building and enquired about it. We had a nice chat and here's what I have concluded.


How to identify a fake Chrome Hearts T-shirt by its label:


1. There is a transparent thread and a white thread neatly crossed-sewed together under the Chrome Hearts CH logo. As you can see in the pic, the sewing is very uniformed and very troublesome for fakes ro replicate. 

2. The bar-code and serial number on every piece of Chrome Hearts is unique. Which means if you see the same barcode appearing on two different t-shirts, most probably they are selling fake Chrome Hearts and reusing the labels. 

3. The "CH" is sewed on and not printed on. 



4. The sewing at the back of the Chrome Hearts label is very fine and neat. This is to sew the white and transparent thread in the front of the Chrome Hearts tag as mentioned above .


And I do hope those fake Chrome Hearts manufacturer are not reading my post, as I hope they do not make fakes too real... I will be posting more on this next time when I have more information.

Hope this helps for those Chrome Hearts avid lovers like me. See ya!

  3. Hi,

    I would like to check with you, does Chrome hearts store at Hongkong have a lot of variety choice of earring and rings? As I’m going to Hongkong in November hoping if you would let me know if they are selling “Chrome Hearts Mini Cross ear studs” , “Chrome Hearts Bracelet” and ring. If can, could you email me at tankaileekylie@gmail.com.

    Thank you very much, really appreciate your help!!

  4. I think depends on the designs you are looking for. There are two Chrome Hearts outlets in Hongkong. One in Prince's Building,HK Central, and one in the Peninsula, Kowloon. Try The Peninsula outlet, Its bigger and has more variety, So chances that you find what Chrome Hearts item you are looking for is much higher. Drop me a msg if you need any help :)

  6. There are chrome Hearts outlets in Korea. If you bought it from there these outlets, likely its real. :)

    There was once i bought a chrome hearts Taeyang T-shirt from online and it says made in Korea. But from what i know, chrome hearts doesn't sell anything online.
