How can you tell if a Louis Vuitton purse is authentic?

Answer 1

Louis Vuitton doesn't discount. That means no sales whatsoever! If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.

Louis Vuitton does not have outlets, or seconds or irregulars.

Tags are never attached to the bags. They are usually tucked into a pocket or included in an envelope that comes with your receipt.

The monogram itself can give clues as to authenticity. Louis Vuitton is very careful about the way that the monogram is placed on any piece. Most of its styles are the same today as they were when they first came out- with a few exceptions. The actual LV monogram is usually (with the exception of some vintage pieces) symetrical from side to side in all monogram styles (traditional, Multicolore, Cerises, Mini mono, Vernis etc.).

Louis Vuitton is very careful with it's stitching. Stitching should be very even and regular. The same number of stitches will be found in similar locations on similar bags... for example the leather tab that the handle attaches onto on any size monogram Speedy bag will always have 5 regular, even stitches across the top.

Answer 2

Don't the authentic versions have like a leather tag on the inside of the lining or something? Some kind of tag anyway?

The main point here is, if you can't tell which one is authentic and which one isn't, why the heezy would you pay a billion more dollars just to be able to say you got it from the "real" store? I can understand if there are significant differences between look-alikes and the real thing, but if you obviously can't tell, who cares?

Answer 3

Most authentic high end purses will have a small metal plaque inside the purse with the name of the designer.

Answer 4

I have one and to tell if it's real smell the bag. It should smell like genuine leather, feel like it too. Real ones always come with a protective case as well and a certificate of authenticity. If a company doesn't give a certificate or refuses to I would be warry. Hope that helps.

Answer 5

If you already have the purse and you want to confirm it's authenticity, take it to a LV store. If you're buying it from a large department store, you should be fine. But if you're thinking about buying one from ebay, you should really be leery. Most ebay bags are fakes.

Answer 6

Buy it at a Louis Vuitton store or online at http://www.eluxury.com

Answer 7

My sister has both a real and fake purse. The easiest way to tell is where you got it and howmuch it costs. If you get it from some guy on a corner for eighty bucks odds are it's fake but if you get it in a LV store then it's real. Another way to tell isthe stitching if it's zig-zagged (/\/\/\/\/\) then it's fake because the stitching is cheap but if it's straight (||||||||) then it's real.

Answer 8

Let use them! Instead of encouraging these people to be lawyers and accountants, let say "hey, we need food, you like growing food, come help us out! We take care of your needs, and then you can feel good knowing that you are providing food for everyone!" I see no reason why, in an ideal world, this wouldn work out.
