In order to identify a fake Louis Vuitton as accurately as possible, a lot of attention is required. Of course, in this case we are not talking about crude fakes that anyone can spot. This time we are talking about fairly high-quality fakes, which not everyone can distinguish.
How to determine if a bag is original
The first thing that should raise doubts is the discount. The fact is that this company never holds sales or offers its customers any discounts.
Packaging, cases
The packaging of this bag is a separate topic of conversation. It only comes in dark brown. Moreover, the packaging is quite dense and high quality. Each package should have a small “tab” that will allow you to open it as quickly as possible and without any difficulties.
The covers that come with the kit are light yellow in color. If it is a fake, then such a case will be made of synthetics. This will be obvious to anyone who has held a real Louis Vuitton bag in their hands at least once in their life.Their material cannot be confused with anything else. Rough synthetics are unpleasant to the touch and do not look expensive. It is not surprising that no one wants to buy such products, because synthetics are a sign of a cheap Chinese counterfeit.
Individual code
This individual code can be located either on any part of the bag or on a separate strap. Each number or letter of the code means something. This can be either the year of manufacture or the country of manufacture. An individual code allows you to find out a lot of useful information about the product. It may come in handy if we are talking about an old model that needs to be restored as soon as possible. In this case, you simply cannot do without code.
Monograms
Monograms are the ideal tool for accurately identifying the original. The thing is that it is very difficult to fake monograms. To do this, you need to have special, expensive technical equipment, which scammers usually do not have. This is why it is so important to check the placement of all monograms. They should be located symmetrically on each part of the bag. Most often, monograms are located across the fabric. They are easy to find even for a layman who has never been involved in identifying counterfeits before.
Important! In this case, you need to remember that inverted monograms are not proof that the buyer purchased a fake product. The thing is that in some cases we are talking about a bag that was made by real manufacturers. These are simply features of the production process that everyone needs to know about in order not to recognize a real bag as a fake.
Tags and samples
All tags are located only on the inside of the product.It is impossible to find them outside! This can only happen on a fake, the authors of which did not even bother to carefully study the original item. The samples on the bags are made so carefully that one can speak of jewelry precision. In this case, it will be extremely difficult to fake such a part.
Fonts
In the case of Louis Vuitton bags, distinguishing a real font from a fake one is easy. The thing is that this company has been using the same type of font for many years. Moreover, this font has one unique feature. It is this that will allow you to accurately detect a fake. The letter “O” on all the inscriptions that can be found on the company’s products is made very round. This is precisely why it is so easy to spot a fake.
Not every scammer can boast of having sophisticated technical equipment that allows them to copy such a complex font. In addition, copying it manually is no less difficult. To do this you need to be a real artist with extensive experience.
Lining, lining
The material used for bags is canvas. It is impossible to fake it. This applies not only to the outer part of the bags, but also to the lining. When a buyer opens a real bag, it immediately becomes clear to him that this is a product from an expensive brand. In this case, there is no need to talk about unnecessary questions. The fact is that the lining in real bags can only be made of cotton canvas, which is a bit like suede. It is quite obvious that it is extremely difficult to fake this material. This would require a lot of effort. Lining should be done as carefully as possible. If you can see any defects, then this is another sign of a fake.
Metal parts
It is not customary for the company to cover any metal parts with cellophane or cloth. They are always visible and are made in such a way that the bag looks even more stylish with them. In addition, metal parts are always marked. If it is not there, then this is a sure sign of a fake.
