Is it Real or Fake? How to Spot a Louis Vuitton Original Purse

Do you have a Louis Vuitton Purse or are you looking to buy one? It is very common to get a fake Louis Vuitton purses. Because of this very few people will actually buy the real thing. However, there are steps you can take to help prevent yourself from falling into one of the largest scam markets.

The first step you should take is to understand your product. Louis Vuitton has been around since 1854 and currently has factories in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the USA. Originally it was claimed that if the label said 'Made in Spain' it was a fake. This is no longer the case. Because of the number of different factories it is common to purchase a genuine Louis Vuitton Purse that was made in Spain, Germany, Italy, or the USA.

Since the label is no longer a factory in determining a fake or real Louis Vuitton purse you should keep in mind that you can only buy a genuine Louis Vuitton from the LV store, online at eluxury.com, or by calling 866-VUITTON. Since the genuine thing can cost you $2000 or more a lot of people have turned to eBay to get the right deals.

If you are looking for that deal you should watch for tags. A real Louis Vuitton purse will not have a tag on it. The tags are located inside of the purse and will come with two. The first will say "Louis Vuitton" as well as what the purse is made of. The second tag will include a model number, the French name for the bag, as well as a bar code. Sometimes, not always, the bag will also come with a care booklet.

The real thing will last forever because of the materials it is made of. A real Louis Vuitton purse is made with one piece of fabric. There are no cut offs to the logos nor a seam at the bottom of the purse. The handles are made of genuine rawhide. If you get a purse with plastic or bubble wrap for the handles this is definitely a fake. The leather of the purse will be smooth and the zipper will be easy to open.
