How To Authenticate Comme Des Garcons Play

I was so excited to spot this iconic Comme Des Garcon heart while going through a tight rack at Goodwill for $6.50!  It was my first time thrifting a Comme Des Garcons Play piece (the line with the hearts - I've thrifted other Comme Des Garcons pieces before) and I had no idea what to look for in terms of authenticating it. There are a lot of fakes out there! Unfortunately this item had all the interior tags cut out so it is really difficult to authenticate, but it got me searching for what to look for with these pieces for the next time I find one (hopefully!) Keep scrolling to see the best info I found on authenticating Comme Des Garcons Play.

(here are photos of the item I found - let me know if you think it is authentic or not!)

Heart Stitching

Like most higher end items, consistent and even stitching is a dead giveaway of a fake vs authentic item. For a Comme Des Garcons heart, two key places to look for stitching will be both on the inside and outside of the clothing item. For the exterior, you will want to look around the edges of the heart. There should be really even stitching around the edges with no loose threading or chunky sections. On the inside of the item, the stitching attaching the heart to the item should be thin but even around the border of the heart. If it is very bright and thick, it is not authentic.

Heart Eyes

The first thing to look for when inspecting the heart eyes is to make sure the eyes are of an identical size and shape. When looking at the pupils, you want to make sure they are not perfectly round. The top of the pupil should be touching the top of the eye and the bottom of the pupil should have additional stitching that comes down out of the pupil into the whites. 

Heart Shape

When looking at the top of the heart where the two points come together in the middle, you. want to see that the connection is shallow and does not come in too much at a sharp point. Both sides of the heart should be symmetrical . 

Brand Tag

The brand tag will be matte and rectangular, not shiny. The "P" in Play should be over the "O" in "Comme" and the "Y" in Play should be over the "O" in Garcon. 

Interior Tag

The interior tag along the inside seam will be shinier and of a different material than the brand tag. The item should be made in Japan, and should include a code that designates the season and year the item was made. Some fakes can have this so make sure to check the item you have was made during the season/year designated on the interior tag.
