How to Detect Fake Louis Vittone Handbags

Many fake Louis Vuitton handbags exist.

Louis Vuitton is a historical designer. The company has been manufacturing leather handbags since 1854. The company is well-known for its impeccable craftsmanship and signature monogram. Purchasing a Louis Vuitton handbag can be quite a financial commitment, as most of the bags are relatively expensive. Therefore, you won't want to be ripped off by purchasing a fake Louis Vuitton bag. You can look for a few distinguishing features in order to spot a fake Louis Vutiton handbag.

Instructions

1. Examine the piping. This is the material along the seems of the bag. They should be leather. If they're not made from leather, it's likely a fake.

2. Look at the overall craftsmanship of the bag. If the seems are uneven or frayed, the bag is probably fake.

3. Look at the "LV" monogram placement. Authentic Louis Vuitton bags place the monogram symmetrically on the bag. That is, if the "LV" monogram is displayed on the left side of the bag, another "LV" should be found on the right side as well.

4. Examine the stitching. Stitching should be even throughout. Count the number of stitches in one area, like the handle, and compare it to the opposite side to make sure it's the same.

5. Identify misspellings on the labels. Fake Louis Vuitton bags might misspell certain words.
