1
Embroidery All Pink Palm Puff hoodies are embroidered with beautiful and intricate designs on the front and back (plus, some styles have embroidery on the sleeves and around the pocket). The embroidery is neat and precise, without a single stitch out of place.^{[1]

- Signs the hoodie is fake: The design is not embroidered—many dupes have a screen-printed or vinyl design rather than being embroidered. If the fake hoodie is embroidered, the stitching might be messy and imperfect, and there may be stray and frayed stitches.
2
Design Pink Palm Puff hoodies come in several styles that feature unique designs, such as the iconic “Everything Comes in Waves” design and the beautiful “Hawaii Hibiscus” design. Each hoodie has a small design on the front and a large, intricate design on the back. Plus, some styles have small designs on the end of the sleeve and around the hoodie pocket.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: The design does not match up with the official design released by Pink Palm Puff. For instance, the hoodie might be missing a design on the front, it might include a design on the sleeve when the official does not, or it might feature a design Pink Palm Puff doesn’t actually have.^{[2]

Logo Authentic Pink Palm Puff hoodies have “PINK PALM PUFF” embroidered on the back. On styles with intricate designs, the logo is usually embroidered at the bottom of the design. On the “Classic Puff” hoodie, the design on the back is simply the “PINK PALM PUFF” logo.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: The back of the hoodie doesn’t feature the logo, or doesn’t feature the entire logo. For instance, some fakes might read “PINK PALM” or “PALM PUFF.” Additionally, the logo might be screen printed, rather than embroidered.^{[3]

Drawstrings Currently, Pink Palm Puff does not sell hoodies with drawstrings. All of their hoodie styles are sleek, smooth, and string-free around the front of the hoodie.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: Many dupes include drawstrings at the front of the hood, which allow you to tighten it.^{[4]

5
Color Pink Palm Puffs come in a variety of pretty colors, like pink, blue, purple, cherry red, and mint green. They also come in some neutral colors, like white, gray, and navy blue. The embroidery used in the design usually comes in a contrasting color, whether it’s a deeper pink or bright white. Regardless of the specific hue, the color of the hoodie and embroidery is rich and high-quality.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: The color of the hoodie appears different from the authentic style. For instance, the color might appear too vivid or muted, or too light or dark. The color of the embroidery may also appear off.^{[5]

6
Material All of Pink Palm Puff’s hoodies are made out of a high-quality cotton-polyester blend. The material is thick with a nice, heavy weight to it (including the hood, which is double-lined). Plus, the hoodie is super soft.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: The hoodie feels thin and lightweight, and feels more rough than soft. The hoodie might also feel like it’s made primarily out of polyester (rather than a cotton-blend), and even indicate this on the tag.^{[6]

7
Packaging Opening a Pink Palm Puff package is a luxurious experience. The hoodie comes in a beautifully branded and durable cardboard box. The outside of the box features a vibrant beach landscape at sunset, while the inside of the box is a soft pink. The hoodie comes wrapped in a cream dust bag with “PINK PALM PUFF” printed in the middle in pink.^{[7]

- Signs the hoodie is fake: The hoodie comes in an unbranded box, or the design on the box doesn’t match up with Pink Palm Puff’s official branded design. The hoodie might come in a clear plastic bag, or the dust bag doesn’t look similar to Pink Palm Puff’s official dust bag.
8
Price Pink Palm Puff’s hoodies are known for being luxurious, and they come with a high price tag: new hoodies retail for $89. The brand isn’t known for holding lots of sales, so their hoodies usually stay at this price, all year round.
- Signs the hoodie is fake: Dupes often cost significantly less than $89, and can be priced as low as $10 to $20.

1
Compare the seller’s images to pictures of a real Pink Palm Puff hoodie. If you’re shopping for a Pink Palm Puff hoodie on a resale website (like Depop, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc.), carefully look over the images that the seller provides. Inspect the embroidery and design, check for no drawstrings, and ensure the “PINK PALM PUFF” logo is on the back. Then, pull up a picture of a real hoodie (like on Pink Palm Puff’s website or Instagram) to ensure all the details match up.^{[9]

- Be wary of any sellers that only provide stock images of the hoodie from Pink Palm Puff’s website, as there’s no way for you to determine if the specific hoodie they’re selling is real or not.
- If the seller doesn’t provide high-quality pictures, message them to ask for better images so you can authenticate the hoodie. If they refuse to provide new pictures, that’s a red flag that they’re selling a counterfeit hoodie.
2
Make sure the seller is highly reviewed. When shopping on resale websites, it’s super important that you buy from a reputable seller. Check to make sure that they’ve sold a lot of items and that they have a high review score. Then, read through their reviews. If reviewers mention getting fake products (or not receiving their item at all), find a different seller.^{[10]

- Always make your purchase with a credit card, when possible. If you do end up receiving a fake Pink Palm Puff hoodie and the seller refuses to give you a refund, you can simply contact your credit card company and file a dispute.
3
Be cautious of prices that are too good to be true. New Pink Palm Puff hoodies sell for $89. The brand is super popular and highly sought after, so people selling genuine, pre-owned hoodies aren’t likely to sell them for much cheaper. If you see listings for hoodies that are significantly less than $89, stay away from them—they’re almost guaranteed to be dupes.^{[11]
