When you're buying an expensive, name brand purse like Louis Vuitton, it is important to know you're getting the real deal. You can spot fakes by examining the quality and appearance of the bag. Researching and knowing if the seller is legitimate may be enough to guaranty a purse's authenticity.
Examine the stitches. This is best done in person, but if that's not possible, ask the seller for as many close-up photos as possible. Sloppy stitches suggest a counterfeit bag. Another indicator of a counterfeit bag is the number of stitches per inch (SPI)[1] on the seam. SPI (stitches per inch) refers to the number of stitches in a single inch of seam. A high SPI count indicates greater overall seam strength, (and therefore a higher quality handbag).[2] Authentic Louis Vuitton bags will have a higher SPI count than the counterfeits.
Walk away from bags with a tilted pattern. Authentic bags have even patterns that are well matched and proportionate.[3] A bag with a pattern that does not match up with itself is likely to be a fake
Not all authentic bags have upside-down LV's, but many do[4], especially if the design was made with one continuous, seamless piece of leather that wraps all around the bag. This is especially true of the Speedy styles, Keepalls, and Papillons.
View the leather trim. Examine the areas of the wallet that are supposed to be crafted from leather. The leather should feel firm and dry, as opposed to moist, oily, slippery or sticky.
Check for stitching imperfections and other flaws. Louis Vuitton products have flawless stitching and extremely high standards. If there appears to be any crooked or uneven stitches, the wallet is most likely a fake. Any signs of sloppy craftsmanship should arouse suspicion.
Analyze the pattern. Look for any areas at the seam with a severed logo. Louis Vuitton products always have all of the logos fully intact.
View the liner. Check to make sure that the product color matches real versions exactly. Compare it to a picture or a product that's known to be legitimate.
Examine the hardware. Hollow or light hardware is a sign of a counterfeit. Louis Vuitton products use quality hardware that has some weight to it.
Check for anything suspicious. If anything seems off, it's worth investigating. The hang tag should be attached and able to support the bag. Make sure the tag that states where the item was made matches all other legitimate products
The main Louis Vuitton stamp is very important for authentication, and oftentimes it can easily allow you to determine that a bag is fake.
Features to pay attention to:
1. The tail on the L is very short.
2. The O's are very round and look bigger than the L.
3. The T's are almost touching each other or are so close that it looks like it.
4. Lettering should be thin to somewhat thin, clear and very crisp.
5. Study the general font used and how it is aligned.
*There are rare exceptions to the above rules
