Many times you will see bubbles or hairlines on the hardware. Many of the fakes out there use cheap gold painted plastics. The hardware is hand chosen to ensure that they shine and do not tarnish over long periods of time. Even though it may seem like a legitimate card, genuine LV bags do not include such cards.Īuthentic Louis Vuitton bags use brass and gold in their hardware. Like I mentioned earlier, Louis Vuitton doesn't provide two cards. At times a booklet for care instructions is also included with the product. Louis Vuitton products do not include cards: one being the card that explains what materials the product consists of and the other being the authenticity card. This is why they put these product card details hidden inside the product. Louis Vuitton feels that this disturbs the overall exterior image of the product. Many products use hangtags to display product details. If the price is too good to be true, chances are it's a fake. They also don't wholesale their products because they only distribute through their retail channels. You know the old saying: "you get what you pay for"? Well this applies to Louis Vuitton because LV does not discount or have any sort of sale on their products. Also, many of the dust covers have more writing other than the simple LV logo or name. The replica dust covers are usually constructed of cheap materials. The authentic dust cover is very plain with one LV logo.
They only consist of a suede type fabric that is folded and sewn. The actual Louis Vuitton dust covers are quite simple. I enjoy the feeling of receiving something brand new rather than something that has been sitting on a shelf. Truthfully, I wish Louis Vuitton would sell them individually wrapped. This makes the customer feel that he or she purchased something one-of-a-kind. Louis Vuitton likes to sell to their customers, the actual floor sample.
Many of the fake or replica Louis Vuitton products are wrapped in bubble wrap or a clear plastic. Chances are high that the Louis Vuitton bag you see online (not from ) is fake. For those of you who are looking for the real deal, here are the ONLY ways to spot a fake Louis Vuitton.Īuthentic Louis Vuitton merchandise is only sold only at and their actual brick and mortar stores.

Why must we pay full price for something that only costs a ¼ of the price to produce? This question brought upon the rise of the production of replicas and fakes.
