How to Spot a Fake Louis Vuitton

If you think nice packing and a receipt prove the authenticity of any posh product, you need to be a little more cautious. With big brands comes bigger responsibilities—not just to take care of your investment, but to first make sure what you are purchasing and taking care of isoriginaland actually deserves your money, love, and attention. Plus there are few things as embarrassing as unknowingly carrying a counterfeit bag and getting called out.

For six consecutive years (2006 to 2012), Louis Vuitton was declared theworld’s most valuable luxury brand. The label’s LV monogram that appeared on its products like luxury trunks, watches, jewelry, books, scarves, sunglasses, shoes and leather goods was as much a symbol of pride for the world’s leading international fashion house as it continues to be for its clients.When a luxury brand is so highly sought after, there are more companies trying to get a slice of the attention by ripping off the designs. Sohow would you really know the difference between the real and the fake pre-owned Louis Vuitton?Here are 10 ways to distinguish between an original and a fake, new or pre-owned Louis Vuitton:

• Note down the name, model, color, pattern, logo placement, material, accessories and all relevant details about the bag you have…

Many fake versions of some new or even pre-owned Louis Vuitton products thatdon’t even exist in an LV collectionare surprisingly sold in the market at a very high figure, and the consumer ends up paying the price (in the literal sense as well!) due to their lack of knowledge.

Double-check the reliability of the pre-owned Louis Vuitton seller

There is no reason not to! You are spending a big chunk of your money—you should take your time and examine the product closely and carefully. If you are buying your pre-owned Louis Vuitton online, make sure the website you are buying from is reliable. Check the customer reviews and the site’s reputation. Ask the people around you if they have made any purchases for first-hand feedback.
