Rule of thumb points to remember about Louis Vuitton:
- Louis Vuitton does not discount.
- Louis Vuitton does not have outlets, or seconds or irregulars.
- Louis Vuitton does not wholesale.
Note:
Louis Vuitton is made in France, however, "for over 25 years, Louis Vuitton has also produced bags in
the USA, Spain, Germany and Italy. It is not true that a Louis Vuitton bag has to be marked "Made in France" to
be authentic." Fashionphile.
Below is an image of an authentic Louis Vuitton marked "made in the USA."
Monogram pattern: The Monogram pattern on a Louis Vuitton should never be irregular. The
pattern should always be symmetric, the shapes flowing full form through stitch lines on both
sides of the handbag equally.
Below is an image of an authentic Louis Vuitton Speedy:
Note: "The actual LV monogram is usually (with the exception of some vintage pieces) symmetrical from side
to side in all monogram styles (traditional, Multicolore, Cerises, Mini mono, Vernis etc.) as you can see in this
Louis Vuitton Speedy (notice where the LVs are in relation to the handles, sides, quatrefoils etc)..."

Below is an image of a fake Louis Vuitton handbag:
Note: Notice the irregular monogram pattern under the stitch lines. However, this is an extreme
example of this irregularity. We used this example to make the obvious point, but many times
the monogram pattern irregularity is more subtle, but always noticeable.
Note:
Authentic Louis Vuitton will
have upside down LV logo patterns on the backside of models that use one continuous
piece of leather that wrapping from front to back without a seam on the bottom.
Monogram color: This is a subtle tell but many times fake Louis Vuitton bags have
the monogram color slightly off. This is especially true with the multi-color monogram
patterns.
Below is an image of a real vs. fake Louis Vuitton:
Note: Notice the slight difference in the conflicting monogram colors. The fake is off
a shade.
Real:
Fake: Notice the monogram color has an orangish tint to it:
2. Leather: Louis Vuitton uses oxidizing natural cowhide leather that turns a dark golden honey
color over time.
Note: Notice the the shiny cheapness of the leather's appearance.

3. Stitching: Louis Vuitton is meticulous with every stitch.
Below is an image of an authentic Speedy handle with five top stitches :
Note: Speedy bags will usually have the same five stitches across the top of the handle.
Beware: Vintage Louis Vuitton pieces follow these same rules the majority of the time, but not always.

Below is an image of sloppy fake Louis Vuitton's stitch lines:
Note: Notice the places where the stitching is coming undone, the sloppy sequential stitches
and irregular size stitches.
