how do you tell an original louis vuitton?

Question

I was given a Louis Vuitton hand bag today - new. How do I tell if it is an original?

Answer 1

You have to take it to an authorized store. They will not tell you anything on the phone or email as they dont want to give away trade secrets as imposters (bag designers) are very good. Go to their website to find your local store. I had to do that to verify the one I got was real too.

Answer 2

I got a fake one a couple years ago and after a while it started to break a little and i have to get it fixed but the original don't do that!
Also, i have a smaller bag and it has these two little flap things kind of and they have a little whole in them but one of the flaps doesn't and they are both supposed to have them. if you have a friend who has one compare yours to hers and if you ca nfind any small details that aren't the same you should be able to find if it's an original. Hope i could help!

Answer 3

Take it the store, but I I have a friend that is good with telling fakes, he said one side of the bag the LV is suppose to be right side up and on the other side it is suppose to be upside down, if both sides are in the same direction its a fake, and check the quality of the zipper. Its more to it but thats what I can remember off the top of my head

Answer 4

someone just gave it to you?!
hmm.. i`d say take it in a Louie Vuitton store, they can tell for sure

Answer 5

It should come with a certificate. You can also tell by the quality...look at the stitching...if it is frayed or uneven it is most likely a knockoff.

Answer 6

If you can't tell the difference, then don't worry about it, others can't either.
