Don’t be the victim of a scammer! It’s important to educate yourself on how to authenticate luxury bags before purchasing them on the resale market. I have been teaching myself what to look for and I hope this side by side comparison helps show the important differences between real and fake.
Here’s another great replica/authentic comparison video to check out: • Louis Vuitton Neverful...

  • Given the price difference, the real one isn't worth it if the things you spotted are only differentiating factors.

  • Your video saved me!! You are spot on! I recently purchased a LV favorite mm listed as authentic on eBay. I was not feeling very good about it because the listing said shipped from NY state but tracking of shipment said Hong Kong😮 I knew immediately after opening it it was fake!! Had all the fake details you spoke about! Date code in wrong place, sewn in upside down, stamped on wrong color leather, code not centered on tab! Measurements of bag were off! Stitching thick, wrong color stitching thread. eBay is standing by their money back guarantee! Yay😃 Thank you😘

  • Thank you for this! It was great to go through all the checks with you even though I have a different style bag. It was a gift (there's a red flag) but after checking ALL of the possible tell tale signs, I realised I have got the Best FAKE bag. Everything is perfect on the bag even down to the dust bag. The fake tells are: "Made in France" stamp has a slightly deeper indent on the right to the left, the clutch handles are 13cm and not 9cm and of course the date code - makes no sense and reads top down not bottom up. Amazing how good these fakes are these days...

  • While I realize that your intention for making this video is to educate others about not getting scammed, I have to disagree with your responses to the comments here. Firstly, why should you scold a friend for buying fakes? Isn’t it your friends choice how she spends her money, and why should she be judged for her choices? That’s pretty condescending and if I were that friend I’d be looking for a new circle. Also, If you think you are avoiding support of gangs, trafficking, child labor, etc. by not buying replicas, think again. The electronics in your home are more likely to have contributed to these than a replica bag. Both the people who are buying LV and the ones buying replicas are doing so for the illusion of belonging to an elite group, to a class status. Please do not tell me that it is for the quality, investment, longevity, etc. We feel better about ourselves, we are finding our self worth in carrying a specific brand of bag, others admire it, suddenly we are important. The whole thing is actually so silly, and the minute we start taking it too seriously is the minute we are completely out of touch with reality.

    • I think it’s fine for you to voice your difference of opinion when it comes to buying replicas. What I don’t think is fine to do is come on here and assume you know me personally and how I am as a friend. Shame on you. I think you’re the one who needs a lesson on friendship, not me. To say that someone shouldn’t be your friend because they have a difference of opinion from you absolutely ridiculous! A true friend can be real with you and say “girl, you shouldn’t buy those!” And then have a frank discussion about why you feel that way and why they feel the way they do and no one gets their feelings hurt. This same friend I have discussed here scolds me all the time for not going to the gym enough. Fitness is very important to her and it just isn’t to me. I’d rather go on a long walk with my husband or play outside with my kids to get exercise. Does that mean I get pissed and start looking for new friends when she tells me about her workouts and asks if I’ve been doing any? Or when she goes “come on girl you should get to the gym”? HECK NO. We just don’t have the same opinion on the topic and I still absolutely love her and we connect on so many other levels. Also she thinks it’s dumb I “waste” my money on real designer bags. Does that mean I should dump her and find friends who ONLY like real designer bags?? Please.

Anyway, not important. Thank you for a very helpful video! I purchased two Lv bags from ebay years ago and I still am unsure if they are genuine. I don't want to carry a fake bag. As you said, I don't support buying and selling fake bags. I feel this way because Lv is getting ripped off, but also because it supports unsavory dealings. I have heard drug and human slavery. Awful things like that! I pray that everyone can live like I do! I am so blessed!!! Thank you so much for your video, Momma Beach! Much love, Grace

I personally prefer to buy preowned because it has already lost the initial amount of value from walking out the store door. I can buy and sell for the same or more than I bought it for. Seems like a better investment to me.

  • Replicas are good . Broke people are spending thousands on a bag they can’t afford but others are smart, rather than paying for full price for one of these things they can invest on other things that actually matter. No one can even tell the difference nowadays. Tiffany (Gabrielle Chanel) says that fashion is not brands. If you like the style of the replica, you ROCK that replica. She herself wouldn’t wear diamonds she wore crystals. I have customers that spend 10,000 on clothes but their bags are fake . Live life to the fullest ladies . P.S. It shows everyone how it’s just not difficult to make these bags . 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • A lot of the replicas look good, but they're barely functional. What looks like stitching is actually glue. So you'll be out in public with a bag that's supposed to be high quality, and all of a sudden the strap breaks. Now it's obvious that you're wearing a knockoff. I rather spare myself the embarrassment, and just buy a preloved. That way you still get the beauty and quality without spending over a grand for it

  • I'd love to know what the production cost of an LV is materials wise. My guess is less than $100. Just feels like such a monumental waste of money to me. The egg one they just recently created is adorable, as are the mini hl and nano speedies, but aside from that I don't think I would spend my money on one as much as it entices my materialistic/status-driven side. I don't think they fit my personality well anyway though, I'm not rich and I'm not into following social standards and trying to be the classy professional woman they seem to represent. I respect people who love the brand but it's just not me, no matter how hard I try to force myself into that box. I'll definitely get a replica of the egg bag though, and probably the mini hl or nano speedy as well. Anyone who is going to come up and inspect my bag to see if it's fake is crazy anyway lol! As long as it's passable I don't mind, and besides I'd rather be exposed by one or two professional bag authenticators than spend 1.5-2k that I don't have! Great video!

I have to say I am a collector and yes it gets extremely expensive to buy one but it's worth it it's so worth it I can't even explain or put into words how worth it is to always have those into city of a real one versus a replica. Even though I don't buy all the time I do treat myself when I have the extra money to treat myself once a year.

    • I hate how people call these replicas. Call them for what they are fake. They are making these bags to be a knock off of the original and real ones. To me nothing about that is right. Even if it’s cheaper. If I can’t afford a bag like this than I won’t buy it nor would I buy a fake. I can go somewhere else and get good quality bags that aren’t fake. They may not be as high end of a brand, but at least they are real, good quality, still a well known brand, and I’m not supporting a black market. It’s a scam. Just like you wouldn’t let someone scam you on a phone call pretending to help you out with your computer or give you better car insurance rates. Nor would I buy from someone admitting it’s not real and selling knock off for a profit. It’s not a replica no matter how you slice it. Copying the LV logo or even the GG, and CC logo is wrong no matter what.

The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that bag was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.

  • Never owned one but could say it was the one one the left cause it had "bubbles" on the front. For LV you are paying for the technique (patented design), material (it's sturdy), the workers (not underpaid underage workers) and of course for the brand itself. They just created a need so that we get to want this bag and spend a paycheck or six to get it. Better spend your money on a good bag that will last you and was produced ethically.

  • You can't really go off the glazing here. The glazing on the new strap will also darken if it's a true "superfake" and real leather. You need to compare two new straps to see any/slight difference. I've seen new LV's were the glazing is more red than the one you show here.

    • I’m not an expert on vintage, so sorry i don’t have much info. I use this date code guide to help me, maybe it would help you too: www.yoogiscloset.com/authenticate/louis-vuitton. See if the era of your bag seems to match up with a pre-date code piece. If in doubt, I always use ProAuthenticators to authenticate things.

  • You can tell the difference by the canvas. There is always a sheen on the authentic bag that you will never find on a replica. Replica's have a matte finish that all the conditioner in the world won't create for any length of time. Authentics can be buffed back to that sheen, and 20 years later you will still see it. Having said that, when you say "they are scary similar"... it's no wonder some will choose replica bags? I own both, and I know the difference on the canvas. If you're not made of money, why not purchase replicas. Personally, I owe nothing to Louis Vuitton, and feel no shame or concern for the company purchasing a good replica. Replicas are beating them at their own game! Such is life!

    • A lot of people have made this comment about the size. What’s causing it is that the real Favorite had been worn a lot and the canvas was much floppier. Because of that the bag lays flat and smooshes out a bit which makes it look larger than the fake that was still new and stiff.

    • Cheap replicas will fall apart and disintegrate because they use polyurethane or PU. While the PU will degrade over time no matter who uses it, a cheaper bag will become a sticky gooey mess in a few years time like some Tiganello and Kathy Van Zeeland bags I had. They start peeling and feeling sticky even if they are gently used. My bags were clean, stored nicely, but the humidity just decomposes PU. Even on shoes, the entire shoe falls apart.

  • Is very hard to open a woman handbag 👜 to see the label and stitches to figure out if she has money to buy originals or replicas. How close do you have to be to her belongings to see those details? Basically you have to have a 🔍 magnifying glass and have a very good lighting to see those details. Most women have the same handbag every where I go. All women look almost identical with the same bag.
