How does one distinguish the authentic louis vuitton bag from a replica?
I’m what my sister considers a “bag whore.” For as many bags that I own, one would think that I would have a LV bag in that collection. Faced with the recent economic crisis, I would like to own an affordable (even if second-hand) LV messenger bag, but how can I tell the real from the fake?

1. Almost all LV handbags contain an alcantara lining, which is almost like a suede, but a lot softer and appears more velvety looking. The basic colors are taupe/beige (comonly found in the monogram canvas [brown] models), raspberry/red (white multicolor, cherise models), and a gray colroing in the black multicolor. Some models also contain a saffron lining (Flat Shopper Denim series), micro monogram (the solid color leather models), and/or some canvas lining, which keep in mind are in the canvas exterior models. NOTE: There is never a canvas lining in any LV handbag!

2.On many models that contain an outter gussed poscket(s), such as the Manhattan PM/GM and Speedy 30, there should be an LV symbol directly above the closure or lock of the pocket as well as one directly underneath.

3. If you are looking at a bag that contains a main compartment zipper closure, either side of the zipper should contain a pattern that coincides with the pattern on the opposing side of the zipper

These are ones I know for a fact.
Your best bet would to go to a reliable resale store to get one.I have a few favorites in the New York City, Boston, and Pittsburgh areas and could give them to you if you want (just email me). If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

Good luck at finding a LV. I have two (one is vintage) and I love them!! And I’m glad you want to buy a real one and aren’t supporting the illegal business of fake bags.
