REAL OR FAKE: Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854 and has been named the world’s most valuable luxury brand for seven consecutive years. It is the second counterfeited brand in the world (Burberry’s on top) and it is estimated that 99% of Louis Vuitton goods bought, are fakes.
How to spot a fake bag is not very hard but at the same time there are quite a few things to look at when you’re trying to see if it is a authentic or a fake.
There are two things you have to be careful, if you’re buying online, make sure you are purchasing a bag from an official website and that has been professionally photographed so that you can see each and every detail of the bag itself. If it’s not on the website, ask the retailer to send you all the pictures with the details by email. The pictures have to look realistic and perfect so that you can see the details.
When people buy at a store, it’s better only because you can actually see the bag and focus on the details in person because actual bag that’s about to be purchased.
The most important things when checking if a bag is authentic or not are things such as:
My example will be the Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 35.
The bag that you have purchased will include things such as the Louis Vuitton shopping bag, inside the shopping bag there will be a Louis Vuitton box with a dust bag which also says Louis Vuitton on it and then inside the dust bag you will find the actual Speedy bag inside. You will get an envelope with a receipt inside, the bag lock, a pair of keys.
Be realistic on the price, if you’re shopping online and you see a Speedy for 280dhs, I guarantee you it is definitely fake, not authentic at all. A Louis Vuitton Speedy will cost you 2,700 AED approximately, depending in which country you’re buying it in and which currency you’re buying it in.
