[I]: In the image above, the detail of interest is the parrallel L and V lines. The lines {A,B} demonstrate that an LV logo on an authentic Louis Vuitton belt buckle should appear parallel. [For the lines to be considered geometrically parallel we would have to compare the *slopes of the lines, but for the purpose of this authentication test, an appearance of parallel is sufficient, when compared to a fake LV belt buckle (as in the example below)].

[II]: In the image above, we identify a Point of Intersect (X), where the lines {C,D} cross. This clearly demonstrates that the lines cannot be parallel, therefore the conclusion is that this belt buckle is a fake Louis Vuitton. This is a powerful (and quick) way to identify fake Louis Vuitton belt buckles. [However, it is important to remember that identifying parallel LV lines is not considered conclusive evidence that the belt is authentic, as fake belts can (and do) get this detail right]. However, identifying a Point of Intersect within an image or simply identifying obvious non-parallel lines is considered conclusive evidence that the belt is fake. The parallel buckle test is a simple technique that will swiftly eliminate fake Louis Vuitton belts from consideration. (*) For the slope of a line from point A to B take, (ax,ay), (bx,by) | by-ay/bx-ax = m (slope) Below are some extra notes on Louis Vuitton belt stitch lines.

[If we run the two spi values ( A5.7, X7 ) through our SpI algorithm, we find that the fake Louis Vuitton belt is rejected]. Further notes: Always be on the lookout for the stock image trick. (This is a fairly common method used to fool buyers, which we highlight in more detail here in our case study II). The scam is simple. Use a higher quality photo (usually one of an actual athentic item), as your lead-in image, followed by images of the actual item. The images in the example below were taken from the same ebay listing, photo A was the higher quality Louis Vuitton belt lead in photo, and photo B was of the actual belt that was going to show up at your doorstep.
A: Photo used as "window" image
B: Image of actual belt
We can clearly see that these two belts are not the same. We find that image B fails the parallel line test, and it is also inconsistent with the details in image A, such as the tone of the LV buckle and the Louis Vuitton stamp placement. Image B is displaying a LV stamp cut in half at the tip of the belt.
