I meet with Closet Revival Resale Shop owner, Cynthia Riley, to discuss how to tell if a Louis Vuitton bag is real or fake.

Unless you’re looking for fake. I see women out there that are happy as hell with they’re fake bags....

I just purchased my first LV bag from the LV store. Love this video AND OMG I love your gap. I have a gap and I never thought it could be pretty until I saw yours!

Sad part is that according to Louis Vuitton website today there gold metallic pieces are just that they no longer claim them to be brass which means they are no longer using brass , they are using gold tone metallic pieces which eventually will turn silver , probably Noe making it easier for the counterfeiters to get away with replicated their bags

Amen. Such a disappointment as Dooney and Bourke and others still use that quality of brass. And I spend this much money on a dang bag. I expect it to be brass, but like you said no, they don’t do that anymore and that’s the truth. Extremely disappointing.

Hi guys! Just an FYI - LV bags have not been made by hand by many years, and back/double stitching is actually quite common. Also - the better fakes now have real leather that patinas. As for date codes - in the early/mid 80's - the format is three numbers followed by 2 letters; sometimes the letters and numbers are separated on leather tabs. Pre 2007, the first/third numbers are MONTHS; post 2007, the first/third numbers are weeks. In regards to the person below who commented she had a d/c with only one letter, that format was sometimes used in older bags - for example A2 xxxx. And FWIW, Fashionphile and TRR have both been caught numerous times with fakes. Hope that helps.

Oh yeah....I personally have seen several fake LV's, and there have been fake Chanel, Dior and Fendi. If you check out Purse Forum in the eBay thread, it has been discussed extensively. I'd purchase from them, but pay for a professional authentication after - just to be safe!

They do make many all leather bags also, just not vachetta leather, they have epi leather, the vernis patent leather and other soft leathers in many colors of course. But their most popular or more common bags have the coated canvas in monogram, Damier azur, Damier ebene, graphite and cobalt.

I don't know how long ago this video was made, but just for the record, LV does make some of their bags , in all leather, not just in canvas. Just for the record.

Louis Vuitton actually does make several different types of leather (all leather)The monogram canvas is just a layered canvas. Soft quality. With cowhide trimming and different types of leather handles. The older monogram canvas was extremely hard.

Someone needs to go back to LV school, because there IS backstitching in authentic. There’s an even number and certain locations for backstitching
@IMOO18966 жыл бұрын
Yes, I caught that, and there was even a post in an LV group where someone said a purse was fake because of the backstitching. If anyone studies the stitching pattern they will find out that there is a certain number of back stitches on just about everything. Backstitching is a locking stitch to prevent a seam from pulling apart.

there is only one way to know that you're bag is authentic.....BUY only in the LV store...honestly....I don't understand people buying pre-owned stuffs since they're not that cheap (well buying pre-owned makes you cheap). so why not buy brand new..
