Lowepro, being one of the most popular camera bag in the market, has become the target of pirates.
Yes, there are many imitate Lowepro bags in the market. How to differentiate if your Lowepro bags are original or not? Take note that only original Lowepro bags carry product lifetime warranty, while the imitate bags still selling at similar or slightly cheaper than orignal Lowepro bags, carry no warranty and no quality control.
Original Lowepro bags have white tag inside the bag with a red circle QC stamp. See picture below:
Now you can go check your Lowepro bags, do they have the white tag above? 🙂
my lowepro bag is made in USA…areyou sure yours is real??
Hi tomatoinc,
Did you bought your Lowepro bag in USA? When did you bought it? Lowepro has big factory now in China, but I am not sure if ALL models are made in China or not.
To answer your question, yes I am sure mine is real, as I bought it from the official distributor and the white tag verification method is what suggested by Lowepro to differentiate imitate and original Lowepro.
I bought my lowepro kit (micro trekker and some lens cases) from lowepro-online.co.uk. looks like they are all ‘original’ 🙂
hi. i just got a second hand slightshot 300 from sydney. it doest have that white tag but its quality is really really good. is it a fake?
Hi Sharidan,
Not sure, you better email Lowepro.
My Lowepro Stealth Reporter D300 AW have that white tag,but mine one is diffrent mine doest have 74k 75k 76k 77k 78k…and also the red circle QC pass also not same as yours…is it a fake?
I bought Lowepro Nova 200 Aw and i have white tag inside my bag, but the numbering is 131 132 133 134 135 and the red circle is 132.. how to know isnt it original?
looks like handwriting…
Does it really say “Fabrique En China”.
In French, it should be “Fabriqué en Chine”.
Seems fake to me, but anything made in China is effectively “fake” compared to items made elsewhere.
As Duncan said, it should say “Fabrique en Chine”. It also says Made in China in English. I got mine from a reputable retailer here in the UK and this is what it says on the label. Also has a number circled in red and 3 QC stickers on the back of the label saying “QC PASS NO:D1” “QC PASS NO: D11” “QC PASS NO:D12”
