Many tutorials can be found about how to authenticate a real Louis Vuitton bag. Yet most are emphasizing a reasonable price, the visible quality (leather feel, stitching, logo printing, etc.) and a liable retailer. Yepp, those factors are important, but do you know there are some high-quality knock-offs that couldn’t be told even by a Louis Vuitton store rep?
Some counterfeiters have done a really good job, so that even the most careful consumer may come out with a fake bag charged at super price.
Wandering through the Chinese replica market, you can see a whole range of qualities, from mis-spelled “Louis Vitton” logo prints to mirror-image replicas, which are separated to class B, class A, class A+ on quality basis. You can also easily locate through google quite a few websites specialized in providing high-quality LV replicas. When clicking in, you’ll be surprised by how “real” the bags look.
I myself bought a A+ replica Ellipse PM, just for fun~~~ O(∩_∩)O
And I took some photos….




Isn’t it “beautiful”? ^_^ ~~~
However, there are still traces to track of a replica bag.
First, plastic protectors of hardware on real bags aren’t blue but they’re clear; second, a real bag doesn’t come with a leather tag; third, real bags don’t have a model number…
Basically, this three traces are most misleading, making the item feel genuine while actually not.
Then, some common senses: never hope to save on luxury goods, real LV bags are only available at store or official site, and none sales promotion is nor will be offered.
