Hey Ed Hardy, Let's Party

Two of my girls came with me to Vegas last week to attend the twice yearly fashion buying show held there. I have a love/hate relationship with the city. I been there so often for both clothing and shoes.

This trip marked the first time I brought along H and Y. Both long time associates and Vegas newbies. It was a great experience for them both. At the shows we got these cool tattoos and kitted ourselves out in all Christian Audigier/Ed Hardy wear. Which in tribute to our "look" we garnered more than our fair share of attention and the line, "Hey Ed Hardy, let's party!" Ah to be young again.

Want a fake Ed Hardy hat? Shop on ebay!

Since doing my first posting on "how to spot a fake Ed Hardy Cap" back in February, I've received in excess of 500 requests to identify fake caps. The comment section in the original post itself has over 80 postings. I've collected some of my major postings on fake Ed Hardy caps with the links below.

How to spot a fake Ed Hardy cap

Before you click on the links, here's a few things you need to know before you email me about fakes:

1. I will only try to identify Ed Hardy or Christian Audigier hats. I won't bother trying to identify DEHD hats.
2. Don't bother asking about tops, bottoms or anything else that isn't a hat.
   
3. 90% of the possible fakes I see are typically from ebay. The auction site is filled with fake products. Some very hard to tell but most are outrageously fake.
   
4. When I identify something as fake or not fake, please remember this is just my opinion and should not be taken as an absolute definitive answer. There's only so much I can work with when I get a tiny picture to base my response on.
   
5. Ask nicely.

Christian Audigier the Nightclub

Is there nothing this man won't throw his brands on? Christian Audigier is opening up a nightclub with the Pure Management Group on the Vegas strip in July. The PMG are of course the same people behind Pure and LAX in Vegas already. The club located in the Treasure Island Hotel is modestly named Christian Audigier The Nightclub.

Don Ed Hardy Designs - fake or real caps?

Are Ed Hardy Caps with the logo "Don Ed Hardy Designs" (to be referred to as DEHD from now on) real? This is one of the most common questions I get on the blog all the time. I must have answered 100s of these questions.

In the beginning because I had never seen one nor have they been offered to sale to us from the Ed Hardy distributors. So I would always answered everyone that I believe that they were fakes.

A while back one my blog readers had contacted Ed Hardy and apparently they said that "Don Ed Hardy Designs" caps were real. So I immediately contacted the Canadian Ed Hardy people and they go on to tell me there's no such thing. So I contacted the US Ed Hardy people to confirm this and they did indeed told me there is such a brand but when I asked them why retailers weren't offered these goods for sale... then I got the big run around... what is the deal with these things?

Not long after I was at a buying trip in Las Vegas (you can see a picture of my assistant and me with Christian Audigier himself!) I didn't see any "Don Ed Hardy Designs" being offered up for ordering at the booth. So if indeed they are real I can only see 2 reasons why us regular Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier retailers don't get to sell them:

1. They're not sold to us Canadian retailers
3. They're "irregulars" meaning that they were made incorrectly and sold to online discounters (like overstock) or sold at a discount to a normal retailers (a fashion retailer but not your "full meal deal" EH or CA retailer). Possibly done to protect the premium price point of the Christian Audigier's flagship brands.

Either way they're not Ed Hardy hats in the traditional sense. They definitely are less detailed. However, it wouldn't surprise me to see DEHD hats faked too. Since I don't get to sell these... I can't tell you whether or not they're fake. So good luck!

Newly Arrived Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier Tops

Ed Hardy quality, it's about where you buy it from!

Take a good look at this Ed Hardy rhinestone hat. Try to find what's wrong with it. Click to the pictures to enlarge them to get a really good look. Once you've examined closely scroll down to see what the answer is.

You're probably wondering if this cap is a fake. This hat is very real and is featuring the very hot new rose tattoo "True Til Death" image, at full regular price this hat would set you back $150.

So what's wrong with this hat? Well it's missing 2 rhinestones. One on the top right hand corner of the rose and another one between the A and T in word Death. Quite honestly most people wouldn't notice and some retailers probably would sell it to you at full price and not say anything.

Ed Hardy products quality wise is generally great. However, there's always going to be something wrong. At Tru Drama we meticulously inspect every item we get (Ed Hardy or otherwise) for damage when we receive the goods. We recognize that our customers are paying a premium price for a high profile item and it's important to get a 100% of what you're buying not 98% of it.

We'll return this hat to the Canadian distributor. It'll probably get sold to a discounter and then it'll probably in the hands of an internet retailer that will still try to sell it at full price. Most internet retailers or eBay sellers simply won't have this level of quality control. The best way to ensure authenticity and and quality is purchase your product from a reputable retailer.
