Is it Real or Fake? How to Spot a Louis Vuitton Original Purse

Do you have a Louis Vuitton Purse or are you looking to buy one? It is very common to get a fake Louis Vuitton purses. Because of this very few people will actually buy the real thing. However, there are steps you can take to help prevent yourself from falling into one of the largest scam markets.

The first step you should take is to understand your product. Louis Vuitton has been around since 1854 and currently has factories in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the USA. Originally it was claimed that if the label said 'Made in Spain' it was a fake. This is no longer the case. Because of the number of different factories it is common to purchase a genuine Louis Vuitton Purse that was made in Spain, Germany, Italy, or the USA.

Since the label is no longer a factory in determining a fake or real Louis Vuitton purse you should keep in mind that you can only buy a genuine Louis Vuitton from the LV store, online at eluxury.com, or by calling 866-VUITTON. Since the genuine thing can cost you $2000 or more a lot of people have turned to eBay to get the right deals.

If you are looking for that deal you should watch for tags. A real Louis Vuitton purse will not have a tag on it. The tags are located inside of the purse and will come with two. The first will say "Louis Vuitton" as well as what the purse is made of. The second tag will include a model number, the French name for the bag, as well as a bar code. Sometimes, not always, the bag will also come with a care booklet.

The real thing will last forever because of the materials it is made of. A real Louis Vuitton purse is made with one piece of fabric. There are no cut offs to the logos nor a seam at the bottom of the purse. The handles are made of genuine rawhide. If you get a purse with plastic or bubble wrap for the handles this is definitely a fake. The leather of the purse will be smooth and the zipper will be easy to open.

You should also look at the monogram on the purses. The Louis Vuitton monograms are always side by side and on the back of the purse you will notice they are upside down. The reason for this is because they use one piece of fabric for the whole purse. Another tip you can look for is in the handles. Louis Vuitton is very careful with the stitching on the purses. They will have the exact number of stitches on all sides of the handles.

Another thing to remember is that Louis Vuitton purses are very rare. Sellers of the real thing have limited quantities. The reason for this is because Louis Vuitton wishes to avoid reselling of the purses so if you see a seller with a large quantity of Louis Vuitton purses they are fake.

Some of the top replicas in Louis Vuitton purses are HighReplica.com, which is also one of the leading sellers in Louis Vuitton purses. Replical.com is another source for Louis Vuitton replicas. The replicas are almost as genuine as the real thing, one of the biggest differences is the price. Where a genuine LV purse will cost you $1000's a replica will only cost you a couple of hundred dollars.

It is no wonder why most people buy a LV replica however for those that want the real thing some of the simplest things you can do is compare a fake with the real thing. Having a good eye also helps out but is not necessary. Just remember if the 'price is to good to be true' it is a fake. Also keep in mind that fake purses are rough and breakable, unlike the real Louis Vuitton purse which is smooth and will last you a life time.

However, whether you have the real thing or the fake it is important to remember not to make it important. A purse is still a purse no matter what monogram it has. You should also never be rude to someone for having the real thing or for having a fake one. Not everyone can afford a $2000 purse but everyone wants to look good and with a Louis Vuitton original or fake it will cause envy in all the girls.
