MORE CLUES:
- logo is hot stamped, NOT embossed
- check date stamps
- NEVER made in china
- LV bags do NOT have serial numbers
- dustbag has straight corners, NOT rounded corners
- LV only uses certain hardware (signature "D-ring", NOT "O-ring") made of fine metals, NOT cheap metal coated in a gold color
- "LOUIS VUITTON" stamped on zipper will form a perfect circle
- print is always symmetrical across bag
- ALWAYS perfectly made, exact/meticulous, high quality, long lasting
hope this helps! 😊

@annieotx you're welcome! there are so many other clues i didnt include like the serial # ID's and obv not every tip here applies to every model but they're all things i've used as a guide and have helped so much in determining real or fake so i figured i'd compile all of them and share them with you guys :) glad they're helpful!
lestergrossman
This is very nice of you ! I like this more people should be aware I’m sick of fakes going around ! Keep spreading the love !
emilydaehtop
@lestergrossman haha thank you! 😊 & i agree 🙄 even if you're upfront about it not being authentic, it just makes it so much harder for those who want to purchase the real thing and especially for those selling them.

@emilydaehtop great info, Emily! 👌🏻😘 I got burnt on a fake 1 for myself at a local upscale estate sale, but it wasn’t very popular model, looked very legit. And also after getting a present of a fake Hermes scarf (as it appeared later), learnt a lot how to spot a real one (hand-rolled edges, never machine stitched) 😜
emilydaehtop
@mvm2812 oh man that wouldve been so disappointing :( id be so upset haha

This is helpful thanks for posting. My husband got me a bag online and I’m trying to figure out if it’s real or fake but it’s a damier ebene. Looking for more clues on authentic vs fake for this style.
lubdub6
Can a fake duplicate an authentic Bags date code?
emilydaehtop
@lubdub6 yes but you can look up the date codes and bag style and compare placement and accuracy that way, most wont though

this time up the year there are so many fakes listed… I cannot keep up with reporting them all...so sad...uggh
cindytexan
@emilydaehtop oh I would love to see a thread on how to spot a fake scarf! I asked a seller for the info / pics of copyright and artist and Hermès name. She came back that night and said she didn’t know her scarf was rare, she took down the listing! I wish I had just bought it ! It was only 150
emilydaehtop
@cindytexan hmm well maybe i can make one, i want to add more how to spot fake listings but i have to wait for this school semester to be over, i barely have time for anything! & oh man that would've been a steal!
cindytexan
@emilydaehtop I know!!!i got on a scarf hunt and found 9 that I bought. Mainly bc they were beautiful and I thought 120-220 was pretty good pricing. Then I found out they get faked a lot. I think I might own two fakes. Can’t sell them. But I like them all I
They are so lyrical, I cannot get over how they make them, by hand with each color pass. Some scarves take 1700 hours to make. They can have 4 people working on the same scarf!
cindytexan
@emilydaehtop oh I just found a Facebook group that prints real and fakes! In their images. And shows info on new printer changes on reissued scarves. I like the idea of the original , even if there is a spot or smudge from 45 years ago!
emilydaehtop
@cindytexan oh wow i had no idea that much time and effort went into it! ill have to look more in depth, thats so crazy and interesting!

this info is priceless!
sarahscott950
I love that people are helping others be aware!!! There are so many fakes that are actually well made and completely look legit but comes down to one or two little things to distinguish a real from a fake. Such as the shape of the R above the Louis Vuitton stamp. Also. There are things that can be misleading like on a neverfull pm monogram the straps cover the LV but they completely cover it. If the LV is hallway covered then it’s not real

@mguerra34 seller posted a fake LV montsouris, priced it at $900 and wrote 100% authentic. I hope Poshmark blocks sellers who post fake items, I feel bad for buyers who gets scammed on here.

THANK YOU… I loved this message even though I don't have this brand's handbags to list but it's very good advice.
