How To Spot A Fake Louis Vuitton Bag

This is guide is on how to spot a Fake Louis Vuitton Bag.

On ebay you are bound to find some fake items, however not as much as in the fashion industry, and with a 450billion markup in fake fashion alone there is no wonder why more people are getting into this game. And some of the fakes are so convincing to the average consumer it becomes very hard to tell the difference.

So how do you tell apart a Fake Louis Vuitton Bag from an authentic one on ebay?

Step 1 - look at the price, if it has some insanely low price then you are likely to be looking at a fake, no one is going to be able to sell them at such a low price unless they have been stolen or faked.

Step 2 - Look at the LV symbol over the bag, all louis vuitton bags are hand painted and if any are crooked, or merge in with a seam or crease then it is not the real thing.

Step 3 - Look at the zipper pull and the purse snaps if they are branded with the lv sign then you are more likely to be looking at the real thing however if they are not then it is a fake, if the name louis Vuitton is written it is a fake they general use the LV sign

Step 4 - the handles and piping are cowhide leather a new bag should be a light tan and with the seam dyed red, and if the bag has been used after a only a few weeks the leather should have oxidised and faded to a darker brown, if the leather handles does not change colour then its a fake.

Finally always check seller feedback and be sure that you pay with a safe secure method of payment eg paypal, and be sure you have buyer protection with a purchase so if you do accidentally get a fake you wont be out of pocket.
