1
Look at the label inside of the bag. All genuine Louis Vuitton bags are from France. If someone is trying to sell you a bag that is made in China or any other country, the bag is a fake.
-
2
Examine the monogram pattern. If you are purchasing a classic monogram pattern Louis Vuitton bag, the V should be over the L. If the L and V are together in any other way the bag you are looking at is fake. There are also bags made with the typical Louis Vuitton coloring that have other monogram letters on them. Those bags are not authentic.

Touch and feel the interior lining. Louis Vuitton bags have top-quality interiors usually in rich colors. The color can vary depending on bag style and season. If the interior of a bag feels like plastic, you are holding a fake.
-
4
Take note of the stitching. Stray threads are a sign of a fake handbag.
-
5
Stay away from bags with tags or anything hanging off of them. There should be nothing on a string dangling from a real Louis Vuitton purse.
-
6
Steer clear of plastic-wrapped handles. This is typical of replica bags.

Tips & Warnings
The piping that lines many Louis Vuitton handbags should be high quality leather. If the piping on your bag begins to chip or fall off after only a short time, you have been scammed into buying a fake bag.
Your authentic Louis Vuitton purse should come with a dust bag with the LV symbol on it. The dust bag should be tan or another understated color and made of fine material. If a dust bag is flimsy or is a neon color, the bag is a fake.

Not all the Louis Vuitton bags are made in France. Some of them are made in Spain and even in the US. So this is not a clear sign that the bag you have it’s a fake. If you want to know more this, you can message me on facebook.
