How to spot a fake Louis Vuitton handbag

With so many Louis Vuitton handbags on the market today it's hard to know what's real and what's not unless you know exactly what to look for.

Instructions

1. Inspect the leather and the stitching. If there are loose threads or missing stitches, it's a sure sign of a fake handbag. Louis Vuitton only makes the highest quality purses and you'll never find these types of poor quality on a real Louis Vuitton purse.

2. Be realistic about pricing. If it seems to good to be true it is. Louis Vuitton does not sell defective merchandise or second grade bags at discount pricing. So if someone is offering to sell you a brnad new bag for 50 or 60 percent off claiming they are factory seconds it is a lie.

3. A real louis vuitton handbag will have the all the momogram LV's facing down on one side of the bag. If you turn the bag around the other side should have all the monogram LV's facing up. Beware of buyers especially on auction websites that only show a picture of one side of the handbag. Always ask for additional pictures of both front and back of bag to verify the direction of the monogramming.
