I bought these off of another forum, I was reading the thread below and saw 2 members mention that if the strap has Cuir on the inside it's an indicator that the strap is fake. Does this mean I've been screwed?

Here are the 2 straps I bought...

No, what I said was 'Fakes don't have 'Croco' but 'Cuir' embossed on the inside ?'

And you were showing a Croc strap , and it should have 'Croco' on the inside , which it had
if the strap is 'Croco' texture but has 'Cuir' on the inside its a fake

'Cuir' means leather
'Croco' means Croc

Sorry, I misunderstood. The brown one is a calf strap.

Steve, I misunderstood what was being said in the thread regarding the word Cuir. It was this post that threw me off not realizing he was referring to Croc straps. "Fakes don't have 'Croco' but 'Cuir' embossed on the inside?"
