How to distinguish from a fake?
A popular brand is often copied. In order not to be disappointed in a purchase, you need to know how to distinguish an original from a fake.
-
Pay attention to the texture of the fabric. In copies, it is of lower quality, friable, defects in the canvas may come across in some places. Original backpacks are made of dense fabric with moisture-proof impregnation.
-
The brand's logos are in black and gray with the use of orange. It can be a round or rectangular patch, but they are the same for all collections. If the logo is painted in other colors, or has extraneous elements, then this is a fake.
-
The inscriptions on the backpack should be clear, not blurry. The embroidered elements are even, without protruding threads.
-
Fittings often help identify a fake. Copies have it without a corporate logo. And also note: all collections, except for the Hack Daypack, have only black laces on the locks.
Take the time to look inside the backpack. The original products have a small pocket with a logo, and next to it is a tag that indicates the place of production, recommendations for care and a unique article. Fake models do not have such tags, let alone a personal number.
The cost of originals starts at about 3,500 rubles, depending on the collection. During the sales period, the price may drop slightly. If you see an item for less than 2,500 rubles, then this is a fake, a real Napapijri backpack cannot be so cheap.
How to wash?
Proper care is the key to a long service life of your favorite accessory. Backpacks with water-resistant impregnation are not recommended to be washed too often, as this will wash out the protective agent. But if the dirt cannot be wiped off with a wet rag, then you can try to carry out a gentle cleaning.
Better to wash your backpack by hand. This is easy to do:
-
grate laundry soap and dissolve in warm water, soak the backpack for 20-30 minutes;
-
areas with noticeable dirt should be rubbed with a clothing brush;
-
after cleaning, rinse the product thoroughly, but do not wring out, so as not to damage the mold.
If you do not want to do hand washing, then use the delicate mode in the machine, the water should be warm, no more than 30 degrees. It is better to choose gel or capsules as a detergent, they are well washed out of synthetic fabrics, do not harm the material and do not leave streaks on the surface. In case of stubborn dirt, it is recommended to pre-soak the product in soapy water.
For greater safety, it is worth washing the backpack in a special bag so that it hits less hard parts of the drum. If you do not have this, then you can wrap the product in an old sheet and tie it. Do not use the spin mode as it may damage the fabric structure.
Also notice the label on the inside of the backpack. Do not rush to tear it off and throw it away - there the manufacturer indicates recommendations for the washing method. You can use this information if you still have a tag.
