Louis Vuitton bags are sported by celebrites, but don't let your eagerness for a brand name fool you into wasting money on a fake.
Louis Vuitton bags are a fashion statement that is easily replicated. These counterfeit bags can pass easily for the real thing unless the consumer knows exactly what to look for. Some signs can be discerned with a quick gaze; others take a bit of investigation of the product itself. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Ways to Identify a Counterfiet Bag
1. Fake bags will often sport a characteristic tag, a round plastic tag with a brown "LV" printed on it and secured to the bag with a white string with a cut-out portion of the logo (often matching the fabric of the bag) attached to it.
2. A sure sign that a bag is a fake is when the fabric lining the interior of the bag is of an inferior quality. It will be lined with fake tan or brown suede, or in some cases, plastic. Authentic bags will have an interior that will differ with each style of bag, but the fabrics are never cheap or fake.
3. If the bag has plastic over the straps and handles, it is without a doubt a replica. The leather that is used for the straps of an actual Louis Vuitton bag are not sealed, to encourage its oxidation. This results in the leather deepening its color to a rich golden honey.
4. Make sure the bag is an actual style that Louis Vuitton produced. If not, then it is a fake.
5. The hardware on a real bag is made of either brass or gold metal. Avoid the bags with hardware made of plastic painted to resemble gold.The zipper should have the letters "LV" printed clearly on the tag.
6. The logo "LV" printed on Louis Vuitton bags are always lined up. If they are tilted or out of proportion on one side, this is a sign of a fake. Also, on authentic bags, the logos will be upside down on one side of the bag.
