How to Spot Fake Stone Island Clothing | True Labels

Stone Island is one of the most counterfeited designer brands in the world. With fakes getting more convincing, it’s easy to get scammed unless you know what to look for.

Here’s a simple guide from True Labels—a trusted UK reseller with a verified supply chain—to help you spot the fakes and buy with confidence.

1. Check the Certilogo Tag
Genuine Stone Island products have a 12-digit Certilogo code (CLG) printed on the inner label.
Go to www.certilogo.com and enter the code to verify it.
A real Stone Island item will pass instantly.
No Certilogo tag = major red flag.

2. Inspect the Compass Badge
The logo stitching should be tight, clean and consistent.
The buttonholes on the badge are embroidered, not laser-cut.
Authentic badges are slightly curved to follow the arm’s shape.
Look out for fakes with poor embroidery or flimsy badge material.

3. Feel the Fabric
Stone Island is known for high-quality garment-dyed fabrics and technical materials like Soft Shell-R, Nylon Metal, and Ghost Pieces.
Fake versions often feel thinner or shinier due to cheap polyester blends.

4. Examine the Neck Label and Wash Tags
Fonts must be sharp and evenly spaced.
Look for subtle signs like the correct size and material code formats.
The “Made in Italy” or “Made in Romania” tags should be present and consistent with real production countries.

5. Buy from Trusted Sellers Only
If the price feels too good to be true, it probably is. Always purchase from official retailers or verified resellers like True Labels.
