So, where do you even start? Well, first things first, don’t just jump at that “amazing deal” you see online. If it looks too good to be true, it probably *is*. I mean, come on, Louis Vuitton doesn’t exactly have clearance sales, right? Your first clue is gonna be the price. Seriously. Like, if it’s selling for less than half of what it retails for, alarm bells should be going off in your head. Loudly.
And speaking of online, those pictures they post? Often, they’re using pics of *real* bags to lure you in. Sneaky, right? So don’t just rely on the photos.
Then there’s the stitching. This is a biggie. Real Louis Vuitton bags have mostly hand-stitched, slightly angled stitches. It’s like, you can kinda *feel* the quality. Think of it as the difference between a gourmet meal and fast food – you can see the effort. Fake ones? Usually machine-stitched, and it’s often uneven or just straight-up wonky. It’s like someone was in a rush, or just didn’t care, or you know, both. I mean, come on, you can tell.
Oh, and the label inside? Check. That. Label! It’s usually stitched in there nice and neatly, and the font should be correct. Often, the fakes just get this wrong. I mean, it’s like they didn’t even bother to look at a real one before they started churning them out. Pay close attention!
And the hardware! Real LV bags have quality hardware, like the zippers and clasps. It should feel substantial, like it’s built to last. If it feels cheap and flimsy, yeah, it’s probably a fake.
