The details
Don't overlook the smaller features. The zips, handles, buckles and other trimmings are often what lets down a fake. Hermès bags should have an 'Hermès Paris' stamp, while genuine Louis Vuitton leather goods say 'Louis Vuitton Paris, Made In France'. However, the fakers are cannier than ever and are wise to the fact that savvy shoppers seek the 'LV' stamp on zips and press studs. In this case, look even closer. Monograms should be clearly printed, not smudged - and stitches should be tiny and discreet, not clumsy and gaudy..........


Small variations in the LV letters and flowers (such as printing them upside down) are telltale signs and another important factor is the colour of the leather. The leather should be a light brown which gets darker with age.

1. If it claims to be "brand new" and costs less than $300, most likely it is fake.

2. If the "LV" logo is upright on both sides, it might be a fake.

3. If it's "brand new" and being sold on eBay or Yahoo! Auctions, there is a good chance it's fake.

4. If the piping is not leather, it is fake

5. If the seams are uneven, frayed, the monogram is off or the bag is poorly sewn, it is definitely fake.


6. If there is no date code (a.k.a date number) provided or if the seller is reluctant to provide a date code or receipt, it could be fake.

7. If it's a new bag and the bag's handle is a different color leather than that of the piping, it's fake.

8. If the seller doesn't allow returns, most likely it's fake.

9. If you bought it in your local Chinatown or from a street vendor, it's fake.

10. If the dust cover has rounded edges and/or it doesn't come with a dust cover, it's fake.

11. If the bag has a hanging tag (of any type) or a bright yellow tag or envelope, it's definitely a fake.

12. If you bought the bag on an ecommerce site other than eluxury.com (be careful of eBay), it's fake.

The Louis Vitton "LV" designs are never abbreviated or cut off at the end of seams. If the design is not fully there, it is a knockoff.

If it doesn't have a mark number, then it's just not real.
