How to spell Louis Vuitton correctly. How to distinguish a real Louis Vuitton from a fake: recommendations for connoisseurs of genuine goods

About what pisses us off on the streets of Moscow (and not only). Many agreed that they do not like Louis Vuitton bags (and many other popular brands) because they are the most counterfeit, many are fake good quality and it’s quite difficult to distinguish from the real one, so you don’t even want to buy the original one, or if you already have one, wear it. What I think about this is that you need to buy what you really like. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s Louis Vuitton or Mango, Zara, Furla, etc. If you want Louis Vuitton, buy it without paying attention to anyone, because it will be you and not the people around you who will receive satisfaction from the purchase. And I will try to help you figure out how not to be deceived and buy a fake. I’ll say right away that we won’t discuss rough fakes, with uneven seams, protruding threads and glue, we’ll talk about high-quality fakes and how to spot them. Go))) 1. Where to buy. In addition to France, Louis Vuitton is also produced in the USA, Spain, Germany and Italy. To be authentic, it is not enough to have a patch with the inscription "Made in France" Patches can be from all countries where Louis Vuitton bags are produced. Try to buy bags and products in company store Louis Vuitton. You can’t buy it in a multi-brand store, like in a Louis Vuitton boutique.
2. Louis Vuitton NEVER discounts! Remember, Louis Vuitton NEVER has sales! And he never sells large quantities at a discount, some claim that they bought a large number of bags from them, so they got a big discount and now they sell them cheaper than in the store - blatant lie! Go to their corporate website and see if there is such a model and how much it costs. The entire model range is presented there, and if the price of a bag on the website is $3000, then it cannot possibly cost $850, for example. Difference from the prices posted on the website in different countries not significant, from 5-40 Euro maximum. The cheap price should also alert you; this is a rather expensive brand with a high pricing policy.
Conclusion: Louis Vuitton will never be sold cheaply or at a discount. 3. Product packaging. Plastic bag- it's always dark Brown; made of dense material, slightly rough to the touch, with wicker handles (the weaving resembles a spiral). The Louis Vuitton package must have written: “LOUIS VUITTON – Maison Fonde’e en 1854 – Paris.” Only in this order. Today, counterfeits are often sold with a bag, but the bag usually only says Louis Vuitton. The brand name Louis Vuitton has its own distinctive font, in which the letter Oh very round, however, manufacturers of fakes have learned to fake the font. Wallets, many bags, belts, etc. packed in boxes. Manufacturers of counterfeits have succeeded in this too, but, as you know, brands like Louis Vuitton pay great attention to the little things that are forgotten in counterfeit products. Louis Vuitton boxes – dark brown on the outside with a beige sliding part. Typically, the boxes are tied with rope made of a rubber material that resembles leather. Each box has a special “tongue”, helping to open the box.
The product is wrapped in white paper and sealed with stickers with the inscription “Louis Vuitton” if the sticker is rectangular, or with the LV logo if the sticker is round.
Cases Louis Vuitton, which come complete with all products - light yellow or deeper “mustard” color(depending on the country of manufacture), pleasant to the touch, with the inscription “Louis Vuitton”. Cases of fakes are usually made of synthetic material, which rolls, spreads and is unpleasant to the touch. Louis Vuitton never covers metal parts of new products with cloth or cellophane. 4. Individual code. I'll tell you about it in great detail. Each Louis Vuitton bag has a product code. It can be on a separate strap or simply stamped on some part of the bag.


Early 80s: LV used a three or four digit number to indicate the month and year of manufacture.
In this case, the number 831 tells us that the bag was made in January 1983; if the bag had been made in December, the number would have been four digits: 8312. Late 80s: letters were added to the number to indicate the manufacturing factory .
The code 884ET means that the wallet was made in France, in April 88. On Speedy series bags, the code is divided into two parts and written on the “things” from the handle.
Here the code 892 FC meant that the bag was made in February 89 in the USA -90s: LV changed the codes, now in a four-digit number the first and third digits meant the month, the second and fourth - the year. This coding was used until 2006. Inside the Mini Ponchette series bag:
And this is a limited edition Mini Ponchette. The code for bags in this series (even if it is limited) is still in the same place.
The code is embossed on the D-ring on the Cabas Piano series bags:
- January 2007: LV changed the system, 1 and 3 digits are the number of the week in the year, 2 and 4 are the actual year. Now, if you see SD code 0077, then the bag was manufactured in 2007, week 7, which would be around mid to late February 2007. All existing country codes: France: A0, A1, A2, AA, AN, AR, AS, BA, BJ, CT, DU, ET, FL, MB, MI, NO, RA, RI, SD, SL, SN, SP , SR, TH, VI USA: FC, FH, LA, OS, SD Spain: CA, LO, LB, LM, LW Italy: CE, SA Germany: LP 5. LV does not attach tags to handles. Usually, they put them in a pocket or in a special envelope. It happens that in some models the tag is attached to the ring near the handle and placed inside.
The tags cannot be found on the outside of a real LV bag. And there cannot be any samples of leather from a real LV bag! These are tips to follow when buying a bag. How can you visually determine whether a bag is real or fake? 1. Study the line. The stitching of the bag is always very neat. On identical elements there must be bags same number of stitches. For example, on this bag the handles are stitched with five stitches.

If you are stitching a part that is stitched on both sides, the length and number of stitches on both sides of this part must be the same.
The stitches are repeated even on different handles of the bag. Moreover, the leather insert for attaching the handles on Louis bags is usually stitched on five sides - on top too! 2. Placement of monograms on the bag. The LV monogram itself and its placement on the leather of the bag can be one of the most important clues in determining the authenticity of the product. Namely, their symmetry. The designs must be symmetrical on all sides, on all parts of the product!
The placement of LV monograms usually (with the exception of some vintage models) runs symmetrically across the fabric of the bag in a horizontal line (in traditional models, Multicolore, Cerises, Mini-mono, Vernis, etc.). Moreover, this rule applies to the sides of the bag and its base.

Inverted monograms are also not always a sign of fake. Some models, such as Papillon or Speedy, are made from a single piece of leather without a seam in the middle of the bottom, so LV “upside down” is acceptable in them.

3. Almost no modern bag has blotches on the front (outer) part. Fake.
Some vintage bags may have one, but only to engrave the owner's name. Vintage bag.
In modern models, the credo is usually located inside the bag.
4. Brand fonts. Louis Vuitton uses a very specific type of font. Look at the photos below and remember what the Louis font looks like: very round "O"– one of the distinctive features of the Louis Vuitton font. 4. Material Material – canvas, from which Louis Vuitton makes most of its luggage, bags, wallets and accessories, is unique and almost impossible to counterfeit. Today, other houses have patented analogues, for example, Burberry or Etro, but everyone has their own technology and keeps it strictly secret. Monogrammed Louis Vuitton products primarily use calfskin. True, Louis Vuitton produces products from various skins. For example, bags from the Suhali line, which use goat leather; Lockit and Alma bags, which are also available in alligator leather; bags released in 2009, which contain python leather elements; as well as the Galliera bag, which, in addition to the classic canvas models, also comes in python leather. On classic bags, the leather elements are light caramel in color, the edges are painted red and stitched with yellow threads. ATTENTION: In the original bag, during use, the leather will acquire a darker honey shade (this effect does not occur in fakes). I'm talking about leather parts. When purchased, they are light beige in color; from humidity and sun they will gradually TAN (darken).
5. Lining. What does the inner fabric (lining) of the bag look like? For example, brown bags Louis Vuitton's Monogram line has a brown inner fabric. The most important thing in brown lining is that the fabric must be made from cotton canvas (suede-like)! Even in vintage series. Most white bags from the Multicolore line have a red lining, while black bags have a grey-beige lining. The Neverfull bag, made in the classic monogram, has a beige cotton lining with brown stripes, if this bag is from the Damier line, then the lining will be red with brown stripes. The Speedy or Batignolles bags with the classic monogram have a cotton lining and are ALWAYS brown, the Speedy Damier Azur line has a beige lining, and the Speedy Damier Ebony has a red lining.



In some official photos of Louis Vuitton bags, the brown inner fabric may look like suede, but it is still cotton. So if you see a brown lining that is not made of cotton, it is a fake, as, for example, in the photo below:
6 . All metal parts the originals are marked Louis Vuitton or LV. On the triangle with the key, the inscription is located at the bottom close to the edge, and the hole for the key itself should be deep and have a metal pin inside in the middle. There should be a Louis Vuitton engraving underneath the hole. Absolutely all parts must be marked!
I hope I have described to you in detail and clearly how to distinguish real bag Louis Vuitton from high quality fake. For me, a real Mango bag is better than a fake LV one. Sources. 8. Personal experience and the experience of my beloved friends.

A Louis Vuitton bag is the ultimate dream for many fashion fans. This accessory is considered ideal for almost any outfit and is appropriate in any situation. The owner of an LV bag is simultaneously aware of the latest trends and fashion history, has good taste and respects high quality. But, unfortunately, Louis Vuitton is too famous and popular: The history of counterfeit brand accessories begins in the 19th century and, almost without changes in quantity, moves into the 20th and then into the 21st. According to Forbes, LV bags are one of the 8 most counterfeited items in the world, along with Ugg boots. wristwatch Rolex and even 50 euro notes. But if in the first years of the brand’s existence it was difficult to distinguish the so-called “fakes” from genuine products, now this problem can be solved in many ways, common in which is knowledge of the nuances of production and the history of the most counterfeited fashion brand in the world.

1. There are NO discounts on Louis Vuitton.

The cost of an authentic Louis Vuitton bag starts from 300 euros. Prices for wallets and other accessories start from 150 euros. Louis Vuitton is a brand that never has sales or discounted items. Also, the brand's products cannot be sold wholesale.

ADVICE: The official website louisvuitton.com contains a list of boutiques where you will be offered genuine brand products without discounts, but with registration in the brand database, a lifetime guarantee and other documents.

2. Louis Vuitton is NOT sold in multi-brand boutiques.

Louis Vuitton bags are sold only in LV branded boutiques. Multi-brand boutiques and online stores offer fakes. It is also almost impossible to purchase an original at online auctions.

ADVICE: Genuine Louis Vuitton bags should only be purchased in branded boutiques, preferably abroad. In this case, you get a product that will last for many years, and if any defects occur, specialists will properly eliminate them. Also in the Louis Vuitton boutique they can put your initials on the bag using the “hot stamping” technology.

3. Louis Vuitton does not release each series of bags in all colors and materials of the brand.

Each series of the Louis Vuitton brand has specific shapes, colors and is made from specific materials. For example, the Multicolor series, which has been produced since 2003, does not include the Backpack, Ellipse and Papillon models. The Cherry Blossom series, developed in 2004, does not include Alma, Speedy, Pegase or Cabas. Most Louis Vuitton bags are made from a unique canvas material that cannot be duplicated. Monogram models are predominantly made from calfskin, the Suhali line uses goat leather, and the Lockit and Alma bags are made from alligator leather. In 2009, models with python leather elements were released, and Galliera bags can be made from either this leather or canvas. When purchased, leather elements on classic Louis Vuitton models should have a light caramel shade, which becomes darker and honey-colored during wear. A fake can also give itself away by the color and material of the lining. The original Speedy and Batignolles with the classic LV monogram always have a brown cotton canvas lining. Speedy Damier Azur has beige color linings, and Speedy Damier Ebony is red. The lining in the white bags of the Multicolor line is red, in the black ones it is gray-beige.

ADVICE: To purchase an original Louis Vuitton, you need to know the history of the brand. Therefore, before choosing a bag, study the site louisvuitton.com. Look at the model you are interested in, study its shape, color and details. In the boutique, please note that real bags are sold with handles wrapped in cellophane, but in the sales area they are displayed without it.

4. Modern Louis Vuitton does NOT have labels or patches with the brand name or material samples on the outside of the bag.

Modern Louis Vuitton bags have patches with the brand name on the inside of the bag. On vintage models, the owner's name patch may be located on the outside. The labels on Louis Vuitton bags are located in the pocket or inside the bag. The price tag can also be packed in an envelope. Authentic products may not contain samples of the material from which they are made.

ADVICE: Check the code on your LV bag. All models released since 1995 have a code consisting of two letters and four numbers. It must be identical on every part of the bag, including the included wallet.

5. Elements of each type of Louis Vuitton monogram may NOT look different.

The classic Monogram Toile canvas bags have been in production since 1966. From now on the monogram Not has changed. Logos in traditional models, as well as in products from the Multicolore, Cerises, Vernis and other series, are located horizontally symmetrically with respect to the handles, center and sides of the bag. Monograms can be reversed on one side of the item if it is made from a single piece of leather without a seam on the bottom (like the Keepall, Papillon and Speedy models).

ADVICE: The logo is an iconic element of the Louis Vuitton fashion house, so when purchasing, pay close attention to the placement of the monograms. Each bag is designed with logos and designs in mind, so branding cannot be cut, stitched or placed unevenly. An inverted monogram is only allowed on bags not made in France, as they are not made from a single piece of leather there. There are no red symbols in real Multicolore bags , and logos of the same color cannot be located next to each other. A total of 33 colors are used in the monogram of this series: 24 for flowers and 9 for LV logos.

6. A Louis Vuitton bag may NOT have any manufacturing defects.

Louis Vuitton bags are always sewn symmetrically and neatly. Low-quality fakes are eliminated at the pricing stage, but expensive fakes often have imperfections that cannot be found in the originals. So, all metal parts on the originals are marked Louis Vuitton or LV. On the triangle with the key, the inscription is located at the bottom close to the edge, and the hole for the key itself should be deep and have a metal pin inside in the middle. There should be a Louis Vuitton engraving underneath the hole.

ADVICE: Before purchasing a Louis Vuitton bag, examine its seams. They should be small and perfectly even. On identical elements of the bag, the stitching consists of the same number of stitches. There should always be 10 of them on the corner, and 5 on the loop connecting the handles to the base. On the back of the leather triangle of the Speedy bag, the size is indicated - 30, 45 or 55.

7.

Most Louis Vuitton bags are made in France. But the originals can also be produced in Spain, Germany, Italy or the USA. Modern “Made in USA” bags can only be sold in the USA.

ADVICE: Carefully study the markings on the bag. The original must have the registered trademark “R” at the top, followed by the brand name “Louis Vuitton”, followed by the word “Paris”. The lowest inscription is the country of origin in the “Made in...” format. If there is a metal tablet on the outside, the information on it must be indicated as follows: “Depose En France Et A L’etranger Louis Vuitton – Inventeur – 101, Avenue Des Champs Elysees, Paris.”

8. A Louis Vuitton bag can NOT be packaged in multiple ways.

The original Louis Vuitton packaging also has a number of features. The metal parts of the new bag are not covered with fabric or cellophane. Upon purchase, the product is wrapped in white paper and sealed with a sticker - rectangular with the Louis Vuitton inscription or round with the LV logo. Next, the product is placed in a branded case of light yellow or mustard color (depending on the country of origin). The bag in the case is placed in a dark brown box with a beige pull-out part. The box has a special tongue for easy opening and is tied at the top with a rubber rope with a texture similar to leather. The bag in which the packed bag is placed is made of dense, slightly rough material of a dark brown color and has wicker handles.

ADVICE: check the inscription on the package in which the product you purchased is placed. On original package there is a mark “LOUIS VUITTON – Maison Fonde’e en 1854 – Paris”, and the presence of all the words and their order are decisive. Also, genuine products have two labels, one of which contains the names of the line and material of the bag, and the other has a barcode, model name in French and date number. Labels are not attached to the bag.

Legend

Even world celebrities are not immune from Louis Vuitton fakes. At one of the social events, Victoria Beckham was spotted with a counterfeit brand. After this embarrassment, Marc Jacobs, creative director of LV, sent the star an original bag with a note “Darling, keep your mark.”

After you get burned by buying a fake, you become more discerning when choosing a bag. Especially when it comes to expensive models from Louis Vuitton. It is these bags that go on sale in a huge number of counterfeits. Some of them can be easily distinguished without even looking closely at the photographs (for example, by price). Others will require a more detailed inspection (the main thing is that the product page has large-scale images of the model or the ability to zoom in).

If you follow certain tips, even a fashion novice can easily spot a fake Louis Vuitton bag or wallet.

1. Lining color.

The inner fabric (lining) of the bag looks different depending on the model chosen. Thus, brown Louis Vuitton bags from the Monogram line usually have the same color lining. But at the same time, brown material must certainly be made from cotton canvas (similar to suede). Even in vintage collections.

White Multicolore bags usually have a crimson lining, while black bags have a grey-beige lining. The Neverfull model, made in the classic monogram, has a beige cotton lining with brown stripes, if this bag is from the Damier line, then the lining will be red-brown. The Speedy or Batignolles bags with the classic monogram always have brown cotton fabric, the Speedy Damier Azur line has a beige inner lining, and the Speedy Damier Ebony is red.

If you have any questions, you can always look at high-quality images of bags from different angles on the official website.

2. Cropped or reversed LV monograms.

The LV monogram itself and its placement on the leather of the bag is one of the most faithful and simple ways in determining the authenticity of a product. Namely, their symmetry. Monograms must be positioned absolutely symmetrically on all sides of the bag

The placement of LV monograms usually (with the exception of old series) runs symmetrically across the fabric of the bag along a horizontal line.

Monograms are never cut at the seams. If the seam goes through the LV logo, then the monogram always has a correct, symmetrical continuation on the other side of the seam. The logos must match perfectly on both sides of each seam.

Some models, such as Papillon or Speedy, are made from a single piece of leather without a seam in the middle of the bottom.

3. Red LV monogram.

Bags from the Multicolore series have never been released with red LV monograms. Manufacturers of cheap or expensive counterfeits rely on the fact that buyers do not understand such small details.

4. Brand fonts.

The French fashion house uses a certain type of font. Any authentic Louis Vuitton bag has a special distinction - the name indicates a very round "O".

The canvas material from which Louis Vuitton makes most of its bags and accessories is unique, and it is almost impossible to make something “similar”. Today, analogues are officially produced by houses such as Burberry or, but the technology is different for everyone and is unknown to anyone.

By the way, besides France, branded bags are also produced in other countries:

Monogrammed LV bags typically use calf leather. But the fashion house creates products from various leathers. For example, the Suhali line bags are made of goat leather, the Lockit and Alma bags are made of alligator leather, and the 2009 bags are made of python leather. In addition, the Galliera series can also include products made from both canvas and python skin.

On classic models, the leather elements are light caramel in color, the edges are painted red and stitched with yellow threads. IMPORTANT: In a real branded bag, over time, the leather becomes darker, acquiring a honey tint (fake ones do not have this effect). This is normal because bright skin“sunburns” over the years.

5. Perfect stitching.

On any expensive branded bag, the stitching is done extremely carefully. Identical elements of the product must have the same number of stitches. For example, if there are 5 stitches stitched on the right side of the leather insert holding the metal ring, then the same number should be on the left side. Moreover, this insert for fastening rings on LV bags is usually stitched on five sides - also on the top.

Any defect or change in stitching is indirect sign that the bag is fake. These are luxurious and expensive bags, so attention is paid to even the smallest details.

6. The right combination of colors.

The color combinations of the monograms have not changed in the Multicolore series bags for many years. If you have doubts about a particular model, it is better to go to the official Louis Vuitton website for a color comparison. Multicolore bags have the following set of shades: fuchsia, white, green/dark yellow, dark pink, dark purple/dark blue, greenish yellow, light blue.

7. Discounts and sales.

There are no factory sales, discounts or wholesale prices for branded bags. A buyer will never find a new authentic Louis Vuitton at a discounted price. This is why a fashion house retains such high value over the years. When choosing a bag on eBay at a discounted price, you should definitely check whether the product is new and whether it is second-hand. There is another way to check the price - go to the official website. The entire model range is presented there, and if the advertised price of a bag is $5,000, then it cannot possibly cost $2,000, for example. The difference from the prices posted on the website in different countries is small - a maximum of $ 7-35.

8. Packaging.

Sellers on eBay rarely display packaging, but you can always ask for an additional photo. Wallets, bags, belts are packed in boxes. Chinese designers also produce boxes that look identical, but there are a number of differences. Thus, branded boxes are dark brown on the outside with a beige sliding part. They are usually tied with a rope made of a rubberized material similar to leather. Each box has a special “tab” that helps you open the box. The product itself is wrapped in white paper, onto which the following is glued:

• "Louis Vuitton" rectangular sticker
• sticker round shape with LV logo.

Louis Vuitton - most counterfeited fashion brand in the world. But no matter how much things are faked Louis Vuitton, and, no matter how well the fakes are made, every self-respecting girl wants to own an original thing. If you bought the item yourself in a boutique Louis Vuitton , the question of authenticity is irrelevant. If you were given an item, or you dared to buy it in a place other than a boutique French House, then the authenticity is still worth checking.How to spot a fake one Louis Vuitton from the present?

Variety of products Louis Vuitton : bags, wallets, belts, accessories, etc., creates a variety of details that distinguish original item. In clothing lines these differences are even greater. About all models and lines Louis Vuitton it's too long to tell, sothis time I’ll tell you about bags and accessories from the most common lines: the classic monogram, “ damier” and “multicolor”.

First of all, do not forget thatLouis Vuitton will never be cheap . The price of bags starts from 300 euros in Europe, and small items and accessories from 150 euros.

There are several main details that you should pay attention to, and which can accurately tell you whether you are holding in your hands an original or a fake. First of all, thisLV logoon the material, further, himself material, from which the product is made, lining(in bags), metal parts, leather, from which leather elements of products are made, inscriptions outside and inside on leather and metal stripes, seams. First things first, but first about the packaging in which you should receive the original Louis Vuitton.

The Louis Vuitton bag is always dark brown in color, made of dense material, slightly rough to the touch, with wicker handles (the weaving resembles a spiral).

The Louis Vuitton package must have the following written on it: “LOUIS VUITTON - Maison Fond ée en 1854 - Paris”. Only in this order. Today, counterfeits are often sold with a bag, but the bag usually only says "Louis Vuitton". Louis Vuitton has its own distinctive font, in which the letter O is very round, but counterfeit manufacturers have learned to fake the font as well.

Wallets, many bags, belts, etc. packed in boxes. Manufacturers of counterfeits have succeeded in this too, but, as you know, brands like Louis Vuitton pay great attention to the little things that are forgotten in counterfeit products. Louis Vuitton boxes are dark brown on the outside with a beige drawer. Typically, the boxes are tied with rope made of a rubber material that resembles leather. Each box has a special tab to help you open the box.

The product is wrapped in white paper and sealed with stickers with the inscription “Louis Vuitton” if the sticker is rectangular, or with the LV logo if the sticker is round.

The logo is very important for the House, soyou will never see the letters LV cut or stitched at the top with threads, located crookedly or sideways on the original item. Monogram LV never turned upside down, except for bags and purses made from a single piece of canvas eg bag Papillon, Keepall, Speedy (however, Speedy , made in France, are not made from one piece, so be careful), wallets and organizers Zippy, Insolite, Tresor, Alexandra wallets, etc. In bags of the line "Multicolor Monogram" » there is no logo LV is red.In total, these bags use 33 colors, 9 multi-colored LV and 24 multi-colored flowers and emblems.In items from the Damier line a square that says " Louis Vuitton Paris ", can never be circumcised.

Vintage bags often have a round leather patch on the outside to indicate the name on the bag. On modern bags you can find a leather patch only on the inside. The country of origin is indicated on all products: either on the markings or on a leather or metal patch. Bags, wallets, belts, etc. made in France, Spain and the USA. Accordingly, the products indicate "Made in France", "Made in Spain", "Made in USA". The latter are sold only in the United States, and have their own characteristic differences.

The markings on the products are as follows: at the top is the registered trademark icon - R, then Louis Vuitton, below Paris, only then where “Made in Spain” is made.Metal tablet on the outside of bags, such as a tote Galliera , must contain the following inscription:"DEPOSE en FRANCE et A L'ETRANGER - Louis VUITTON - inventeur - 101, avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris."

In the bag Neverfull in the monogram the lining is made of beige cotton with brown stripes; if this bag is from the Damier line, then the lining will be red with brown stripes. In bags SpeedyIn some bags, the top stitching is replaced by a bolt with markings Louis Vuitton . For some models, the handle is solid, and is sewn directly to the base of the bag itself, such as a bag Neverfull : its distinctive feature is the corner stitching on the leather petal of the handle, sewn to the base of the bag. The total number of ties on the corner is 10.

If you still buy a Speedy bag from someone other than a Louis Vuitton boutique, then pay attention to the leather triangle located on one side of the lock. On the reverse side of the Speedy leather triangle there are always sizes 30, 45, 55. Pay attention to the location of the inscription on the triangle with the key. On the original the inscription is located at the bottom close to the edge. The key hole is deep with a metal pin inside in the middle. Louis Vuitton engraved below the hole. The loop connecting the handles to the base of the bag always has 5 ties, On other bags, the number of ties may vary. Also note that the Speedy bag was never released in the Cherry Blossom line. Similar, Backpack, Ellipse and Papillon bags were never released in the Multicolor line.

In general, we can talk about the differences endlessly, because fakes will never resemble the original either in quality or design, which is good news.

In conclusion, I can say that you will never be able to put your initials on a fake item using the “hot stamping” technology, as they do at Louis Vuitton.

Barcode verification

ATTENTION! The correct barcode does not provide a 100% guarantee of the originality of the product. However, an incorrect barcode is a clear sign of counterfeit.

To verify the authenticity of the barcode, you can use the form below.

Enter 13 digit barcode:Check

The Louis Vuitton brand is originally from France, however, it has open production facilities in Italy, Spain, Germany and America. Therefore, all these countries can be indicated on the bag's patches as the manufacturer.

A bag with a discount is always a fake!

Surprisingly, the brand does not fundamentally reduce the prices of its products. This is probably the only fashion house where they don’t know what discounts and sales are. Moreover, Louis Vuitton does not reduce the purchase price even for wholesale buyers. Therefore, if you hear something like this from a seller, run!

Check out the price of your chosen model on the official Louis Vuitton website. The difference between the store price and the price on the website cannot be more than 40 euros. In general, the brand does not have products at low prices, because it is a luxury brand!

Both bags are fakes of different quality

Don't neglect to inspect the packaging

The manufacturer packs these bags in dark brown bags. The brand is attentive to the production of even such small details, so the material for them will be dense, slightly rough.

Also, the original packaging bags are distinguished by handles with a special branded weave, spiral-shaped. It should be noted that they always have the inscription “LOUIS VUITTON – Maison Fonde’e en 1854 – Paris”.

If only the name of the manufacturer is written on it, or nothing at all, this is a fake.

A distinctive feature of the brand is special font. Therefore, carefully examine the letter ABOUT in the inscription, for a genuine Louis Vuitton it should be very round.
