How to Spot Fake Louis Vuitton Designer Bags
Louis Vuitton bags used to be available online ONLY from Eluxury.com but Eluxury is no more for some reason, the place to go now to be absolutely sure of getting a genuine Louis Vuitton bag online is, strangely enough, LouisVuitton.com. The Eluxury site used to be awful, vvvveeerrrrry slow and clunky and totally frustrating and infuriating, well, you may be pleased to learn (if you are a competitor of Louis Vuitton) that the new LV site is exactly the same, slow and unnavigable and exasperating – it seems to be designed to drive people away ! And as the Eluxury site eventually closed down maybe there is a lesson to be learned by someone at LVMH – not that they will ever deign to read this hubpage.]
So much for the update now how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton bag ? If you are looking for a genuine Louis Vuitton bag then there are certain signs you can look out for, but to be quite honest it is very difficult and the only place you can be absolutely guaranteed to get a genuine Louis Vuitton bag is at the LV site or in one of the LV stores.
However, as you may not wish to pay the prices LV charges, you may be tempted to look around the internet for special offers.
So here are some tips on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton bags
If the seller has a lot of bags on offer you should steer clear. Vuitton only makes limited numbers of its bags available specifically to avoid them being re-sold. So anyone who has large quantities of LV bags on offer should be considered with a certain degree of suspicion. Take a good look at the official Eluxury website and get to know the genuine articles, knowledge is power as they say. Some so-called LV bags were in fact never produced by Louis Vuitton.
Genuine Louis Vuitton Designer Handbags

Louis Vuitton Suhali Le Fabuleux $4360
Louis Vuitton Metallic Mahina XS $3160
Louis Vuitton Surya XL $3360
Louis Vuitton do not use plastic or bubble wrap to wrap their bags.
If the price is ridiculously low then it is very unlikely to be a genuine bag. Louis Vuitton handbags are expensive for a reason, they take a long time to make. Louis Vuitton leather goods are manufactured in Spain, France, or the USA, where craftsmen pay attention to every detail and use only the finest materials.
Check the quality of the craftsmanship – LV bags are extremely well made and should look as if they are.
Look out for creases, wrinkles, logos that are not symmetrical, seams that are obviously poor quality.
The Certificate of Authenticity – there should be one, fake certificates also exist of course, but no certificate is a bad sign.
Circular tags made from cheap looking plastic attached to the bag were never made by Louis Vuitton, LV do not attach their tags. When you buy a bag from LV you get two tags and possibly a care booklet. One tag says “Louis Vuitton” and will state the material of the bag – monogram canvas, epi etc. The other tag shows the model number, the French name of the bag and the barcode.
LV dustbags just have the LV or Louis Vuitton logo Interiors made of cheap plastic, or cheap suede.
The patterns are always lined up correctly (think wallpaper patterns) Louis Vuitton never ever have sales or discounts or wholesale prices.
These are some of the signs you can look out for, but, as I said, it is very difficult to know for sure, especially if you are buying online.
The Louis Vuitton website Louis Vuitton state that LV products are only available at Louis Vuitton stores – or from their offical websites.
