I just bought a fake for $60. It looks just like her fake but let me tell you why I chose to buy a fake when I can afford a real. I personally like the look but I don't believe these designer bags, LV or anything else are truly worth the price. I used to be so against wearing fake anything but after working in a luxury department store and dealing with these bags first hand, besides slight leather quality, the price is really for the name alone. I've held $6,000 bags and the quality is not better than other brands that I own that are less expensive.

I have both real and a fake one, and it amazes me that I get more compliments on my fake one than the real one😅 I ain’t to bougie🤷‍♀️I slay both💁🏻‍♀️💅

In my opinion and what I’ve learned in buying Louis Vuitton bags for years, the Ebene canvas has a color range. The canvas becomes more subdued the older it gets. It is also hard to compare a pre-loved authentic vs a what seems to be a newer replica for obvious reasons. I probably won’t be able to tell what a replica or authentic is because I do not go looking for those things on other people’s bags. I also believe it is none of my business what people do with their money, whether they buy replicas or authentic ones. What bothers me is people passing off replicas and selling them as authentics with expensive price tags to dupe people.

Lol the fake looks better

the fake one looks well made and nicer sad to say lol

The way I see it. Real or fake if it's a style I like then I like it and will buy it. But to me the fake one looks better than the real one. And who's gonna be inspecting ladies purses. If your out there trying to figure out if someone's bag is real who are you the prise police? So If you can get a really nice fake one then why not? Most of us don't have thousands dollars to spend on a real one and wouldn't anyway. No one has to know if it's fake or real. That's nobodies business. Enjoy and wear your bag which ever you have 👜

That Neverfull is an EXTREMELY good dupe

I bought a fake one three years ago and I use it every day as a work bag and it still looks good. On the flip side, I have a real one that I used to wear every day and the canvas is tearing and the side strings are unraveling. I bought both at the same time.

Can I afford a 2k bag? Yes, seeing how close they are isn't worth buying one. Like who on earth is going to look at the round leather code behind the zipper?!? Honestly the real one doesn't even look good. They should come up with a better style.

They are getting better and better at making dupes, unless you’re a professional, there’s really no way to tell. Wow!!!!!

lol I got it wrong. The fake one looked better! I say do what y’all please with y’all money hunnyyyyyyy. I have a Lv bag but i don’t like using it because I’m rough:(

You can’t tell the difference. It’s only painful if u paid full price of a real one and got the fake instead.

The cost of LV is around $300, the rest is pure profit

The canvas isn't a telltale sign as authentic DEs have different colours as well. colour depends on the batch they're made.

I have the same bag and my is fake, I love it and I get a lot of comments on it.

Love this. Sometimes the quality of the fakes seem better, looking at the wrinkling around the leather on the top edge of the authentic.

My mom and I both have the same bag and the color of the bags is completely different, I bought mine first and I kept it in the box, maybe used it once and when I showed it to her, our bags were completely different colors

There is nothing wrong with buying a fake designer bag! the fake one actually looks a lot better than the real one..and not to mention why waste thousands of dollars buying one purse when you can buy a replica and get more for your money? and to top it off the real one uses real animal skin so I think I prefer the fake one!

Omg the real one looks so cringy & “dusty”. I would be ashamed lol considering and seeing reviews where the real ones fall apart and the replica is still holding up. Ouch!

At this point, when no one can even tell the difference between the fake bag and the real one, it makes more sense to buy the replica if you don’t have disposable income. It’s just dumb to save up for an item that has tons of replicas that look identical. Most of us will just assume it’s fake anyway if you’re not wealthy. I can understand rich people spending thousands on designer items since they can afford it. (Not talking about the woman in the video; just people in general)

Could never tell the difference, I own both real and fake LV and I sometimes prefer the fakes.

The print on older Neverfulls is not as defined were as the newer ones are sharper. That is something to consider. The tone on two authentic's can slight vary as well. I don't think those are features to determine if your bag is fake unless you are comparing the year your bag was made to these features.

Very informative. It's a shame that the quality of the replica is just as good if not better than the original. On top of that who in the hell is going to be that close examining your bag.

Funny so many people say that they knew immediately..LOL. This is actually a very well made replica as you said. There are really bad ones but this will fool many people. It is up to each individual whether they want to spend money on a real or replica bag. I don’t care what someone else wants to buy but like you said it’s good to know if you are truly buying a real bag if you are being told it’s real. Great info, thanks for showing it to us!

Not gonna lie. I OWN the authentic in that same exact color and I STILL got it wrong! And I even use the bag every single day! Only goes to show how damn good these superfakes are visually. Now guessing which is the fake by feeling them both in my hands is another story.

Most designer bags are out sourced to China now- that why China can make almost identical bags.

Another thing you forgot to mention, the flower print interior was changed around 2015. If its a 2017 model it would have the current stripe only print and the non cursive font on the pocket.

Authentic Canvas changes with each batch so that isn't a telltale sign. I have an authentic DE Neverfull MM with the red interior as well and a rep of the DE Neverfull MM with the rose ballerine and they are spot in next to each other. My authentic is 10 years old and the gold has worn off the hardware in some spots. Nobody is going to be looking inside my bag, authentic or rep, to see the datecode. To me the quality has gone down in the authentics. I think the rep in this video is in better shape. I thought the one with the wrinkled leather around the top was the rep.

The replicas are getting better and better. 20 years ago it was pretty easy to spot a replica. My LV pieces are all authentic and purchased from the LV store in San Francisco back in the 80’s and 90’s. I get asked often if they are real.....😊

Great job comparing them! I have the real DE MM with ballerina pink. I absolutely love it, but that fake,,,looks so similar! Yikes! I had mine authenticated and I am like you, I only have bought preloved as of now. At least they keep their value!

Very good replica . I would buy the fake one .no problem at all 😘🤫🤔

Great comparison! I also compare some fakes vs real for fun and education. Some fakes I love some I don’t. The most recent batches of fake Damier ebene Neverfulls have the update Matte leather as well.

I’ve looked on the resale sites, but prefer to buy them from the store. I don’t want the headache of taking a chance on a resale bag only to later find out it’s a fake.

Tradesy authenticates and it's very good I love it you can even buy new ones a very good prices and authentication is free after 500 you spend

Canvas shade isn’t a good indicator to determine a fake. I’ve had many authentic pieces and some ebene prints are warmer and some are cooler, depending on the batch. The monogram can look more cool olive to a more warmer red-brown and the azur can lean to the warmer sand, taupe to cooler grey. Canvas has always varied in shades with all the prints.

I can tell a real Gucci, Prada, Burberry from a dupe. I can't tell the differences of an LV. This is why I don't buy Louis Vuitton bags. When you think about bag style and quality, who is duping whom? The real designers charging exorbitant prices or a medium/small company giving you the same look and quality for a thousand less.

I noticed you didn't mention the way the dark checker squares were cut in half on the fake bag along the outer side seam I think that was instant obvious thing I noticed about the differences of the two bags an easy sign I would say to notice a fake as well as if the logo name is cut off along the seams I would defenantly question the bag as well i think i also noticed there is an extra stitch on the triangular shape part of the bags handles count them from the bottom point up I believe there should only be 4 stitches not 5 but I'd have to review to be sure of that Appreciate your time thx

Fake look nicer lol

Great video. Very helpful info.

FYI Luxury goods usually use the Country of Origin but not the City of Origin.

the fake bags or more shiny and too perfect

At first glance I know which is the fake one because of the strap size. But I wouldn't know from the canvas because I saw and own several authentic Damier ebene with different color tones

The color tones of the canvas shouldn't be the basis for judging authentic vs real. Even in store, they said some DE bags don't have the same color tones. They said that it varies depends on age and usage of the bag and sometimes even with the manufacturing. I've read posts where they say some DE bags in the LV store wouldn't have the same color tones.

Actually I think the stitching on the real bag looks shoddy compared to the fake.

I work with leather and honestly....LV uses real leather but the quality isn't that great as so many love to say. I've made leather bags for a few years now and learning about the quality of leather and walking into a LV store and touching them I was in complete shock!!! The leather is poor and they use a gloss on top of it for longevity. The metal hardware isn't that great it's just really good paint. The replica bag actually falls like quality leather. Educating myself about leather, threads and bags I just can't pay that much for a LV it's really just the name in this case.

THANK YOU !! I was waiting to see this comment, to add to this I've been to the china & bought directly from their stores, y'all need to do your research on these "high end" bags a lot of them are being made there & sown together in the places they get stamped at. You're literally all getting scammed by big design houses but to each their own.

I have 4 pieces in monogram I bought in LV boutique myself within 2-3 years, and color of canvas is different, the newer items are more saturated, so with time it fades. My point basically that you cannot rely on fact of color difference, especially when you do not have like 2 brand new bags in front of you. And without comparison with real one it is difficult in this case to say immediately “this is fake”

@MamaBeech

Great info. Thank you!

Different authentic bags will have different shades of color. Different places they’re made, different date code batches, they’ll vary year to year. Same goes for the crispness of the print & stitching so color is not a good way to tell the difference. Interior shade of color will also vary for the same reasons as the outside. When it comes to stitching, the replica will often be better (sadly LV doesn’t have the best craftsmanship anymore). Pocket size & hardware color will also vary year to year & where it was made. Basically the only way to tell anymore is the date code tag which the replicas are also getting extremely good at that now. At some point you’re gonna rum into someone with a real bag that looks just like that fake one. It really can’t be based on what you were basing it on other than the date code. Or on the ebene, some reps the zipper inside will be red when it should be brown & the cinch tab may be turned the wrong way so that’s one of the only ways to tell as well. The authenticating websites are even being fooled the date code stamps are so good now & I’ve seem quite a few they’ve authenticated & they’re fake🤷🏻‍♀️

You can see immediately by the colour. But I own a lot of DE prints. The original print is more decent.

U don’t have to be careful just go to the flagship store for purchase

I would love to buy a real LV, but I would not be able to pay for my house and car if I'd get one. Lol

I knew immediately which was the fake one. I own a few authentic LV’s and the color and the DE canvas print gives it all away.

Great video! Although I love Louis Vuitton I think the biggest downside is that I always wonder if it’s real or is it fake?! And in my opinion Neverfulls are heavily overpriced considering that it is not even leather but coated canvas. It only has leather accents. But nevertheless they are beautiful.

Great information to know. This is a thought maybe if most of these designers would come down on those prices which are redilous more women would be able to afford them. Yes there are those who can pay those outrageous prices but most cannot. We all know that's not going to happen.
