| Louis Vuitton handbags in your hands. But is it real? Most likely, not. Can you imagine the odds of that many women carrying around an $1800 bag in you local mall. How do you know if you what you are buying is an authentic bag? |
| Here we go! Step 1. Analyze where you bought it. If you bought it from a reputable store such as Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales, it is highly unlikely that your Louis Vuitton is a fake. However, if you bought it from someone selling purses out of a trunk in Queens, it’s unlikely that your Luis Vuitton is the real deal. Step 2. Pay careful attention to the stitching. Louis Vuitton bags are very specific when it comes to stitching. The leather tab that connects the handles of the purse always has the same number of stitches across the top. If your purse does not have the standard 5 even stitches, then it is likely it is a fake. Step 3. Notice any inconsistencies with the monogrammed logos. Louis Vuitton is very detailed when it comes to its monogrammed logos. On all purses the logos are the same. If you are questioning the authenticity of your new Luis Vuitton, go online and find a clear photo of what the original Louis Vuitton logo is supposed to look like. If yours varies in any way whatsoever from the norm, it is likely it is an imposter. Step 4. Analyze the date code. Authentic Louis Vuitton bags come with date codes that tell more about the Louis Vuitton piece. All authentic Louis Vuitton bags from the early ’80s on should have these date codes. These codes are found in the same places on all authentic bags. The code will be two letters followed by four numbers. If your bag has a variation of this formula and reads three letters and three numbers or another variation, it is likely a fake. Step 5. There’s no such thing as an attached tag in the world of Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton bags do come with tags, however, they are never attached to the bag. You will receive a Louis Vuitton tag with your receipt or in a little envelope when you purchase your purse. This extra feature is a dead giveaway that a Luis Vuitton purse is a fake. Louis Vuitton’s signature monogram pattern was created in part to eliminate counterfeit. Unfortunately, 99% of Louis Vuitton bags available on the market today are fakes. Louis Vuitton takes a hard stance against those Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags with a dedicated legal team. It is impossible for it to stop all Replica Handbags, especially since they are increasingly more “authentic” in their look. |
