Moreover, a real Louis Vuitton bag is never supposed to go on sale. Once items from their range are out of their season, they are destroyed rather than sold at a discount, making the existing ones more valuable. One last but very important fact: LV bags are extremely well made and are durable, which means you should have your bag for decades to come. Looked at in this way, maybe the bag’s not so expensive after all! </div> <div class="qa_answer_footer"> <div class="wh_vote_container qa_vote_buttons"> <span class="wh_thumb_response wh_thumb_msg"> <span class="wh_thumb_helpful"><b>Thanks!

For starters, check the quality of the stitching, which should be small and even all over the bag. Check that the pattern is even and matches properly across the whole bag. Another thing to consider is where you purchased the bag from––was the seller reputable and known for selling LV bags? You’ll find more details about these signs and many more in the steps above, to help you decide on the authenticity of your Louis Vuitton bag. </div> <div class="qa_answer_footer"> <div class="wh_vote_container qa_vote_buttons"> <span class="wh_thumb_response wh_thumb_msg"> <span class="wh_thumb_helpful"><b>Thanks!

However, you may be able to spot a fake by looking at features like the stamps and the pattern on the bag. For example, a real Louis Vuitton purse should always include a stamp pressed directly into the leather that says “Louis Vuitton” and states where the bag was made. If the stamp is missing or the logo doesn’t match those on authentic Louis Vuitton bags, it’s probably a fake. You can also check the date code located near the opening of the bag. This should have a regional code that matches where the bag was made, such as MI, SD, or TH, which all represent regions in France. Additionally, look at the pattern on the bag and make sure it’s straight, even, and mirrored on both sides of the bag. On a real Louis Vuitton bag, the LV logo should be upside down on the back of the bag and right side up on the front. <span id="summary_last_sentence">For tips on how to identify a fake by examining the bag’s hardware, read on!</span><span id="summary_position" class="sumpos_bottom"></span><div class="s-help-wrap" data-type="summarytexthelp"> <span class="s-help-prompt">Did this summary help you?</span><button class="s-help-response" data-value="1" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="We are so glad to have helped!" data-finish-prompt="Thank you!
