As a brand, Louis Vuitton is careful to avoid cutting the monogram LV logo off abruptly, however, there are certain constructions that invariably lead to this, such as the Trunk Clutchand Speedy Bandouliere shown below. Lastly, if the LV portion of the monogram logo is cut-off then it generally a fake. This can take the form of direct alignment (seams combine to complete the print), mirroring (print is proportionately mirrored on both sides of the seam), or merging (print narrows to merge at the seam). It won't be perfect, but you should be able to spot a pattern. Counterfeit bags overlook this construction detail and, as a result, the print will read facing-up across the bag - that's a dead giveaway for a fake!īucket bags and totes like the Petit Bucket, the Noé, and the Neverfull are made in horizontal construction therefore the monogram print will always read facing-up (rather than upside down like the cylinder carriers).įurther, the seams of the external panels are generally synchronized, meaning, the prints will line-up in a thoughtful manner. Here's what you need to know to authenticate Louis Vuitton's monogram bags.Ĭylinder carriers, like the Speedy and the Keepall are made from vertical construction with one piece that wraps into cylinder formation and affixed by two separate pieces at each end causing the monogram LV print to flip from facing-up to facing upside down as the bag is viewed from front to back. Often times, counterfeiters will overlook these model-specific attributes or will mix attributes from multiple bags in effort to make it "even more authentic" - when, it reality, it only proves its own invalidity. Almost every model of Louis Vuitton bag has its own unique qualities that distinguish and help authenticate it.
