For as much as you pay for those bags, they could at least make their stamps look good…I thought it was fake for sure

If you need a microscope to see if it’s a fake, does it really matter if it’s fake or not?

Years ago, 2009 to be exact my friend bought a vintage LV bag from Liberty in London. Only to get it valued by LV to find out it was a fake!! So her dad made a complaint and LV took Liberty of London to court over selling a fake!!! 😅 (update, for all the questions. LV took Liberty to court, the item was a vintage from the 80’s and was even on display in own glass stand. I went with her to look at it, I didn’t know she would buy it. Her father is from Taiwan and owns a golf course out there, so he has money/ connections. She obviously got her money back, I have no idea what happened with the law suit (was in London) I know that Liberty apologised to her father and blamed it on their buyer. 💁🏻‍♀️ so when you buy a vintage bag always get it valued.

With LV quality declining it makes the job of copying their stuff much easier for the criminals.

Waitttt so he went through all the trouble of smelling, using magnifying glass and microscopic photo just to make one call to auntheticate the bag? 😩

[marieellis]

I thought he meant that the bag was fake since his paper Does Not spell authentic correctly...

The reason why bags like this exist in rotation and population with a little inconsistencies, or slight errors, is because they are known for providing a certain service. Their items need to be stellar, so in the factory, if an item is inspected, and it does not fit their mark of proficiency they are discarded, but those discarded items are usually get sent to other lower chain stores or shops and people think that they’re fake like many in this comment thread but they are an actual authentic item just with minor flaws that the company deemed not to live up to their superb expectancy for client purchases

If you cant tell the difference between a microscope and a magnifying lens than you're in trouble mate

I was selling my LV on a local sale site. A nasty hater got on there and said some things she shouldn't have. I thought I had made the mistake of throwing out the authenticity certificate, so was selling at an extremely low price. It was a gift from someone who was thanking me, who could afford the real thing. I went back and forth with her, knocking her comments down as she contradicted herself constantly. I ended up selling it to a woman who needed it for her laptop. And guess what? That certificate was in a hidden pocket I missed! Nice lady got the benefit. Hater lost out.

My mum's black tourillon wallet was sent in for servicing because the gold clasp had been damaged. When it was returned to us it was given in a dust bag in that brown velvety material. Possibly sent in for a service.

authentic but rush in production. typical big brands

[bstung]

I wonder what made it authentic after having very strange items.

[TT-jsjn]

If you have to check a bag out that thoroughly before you know if it's real then I don't mind having a fake one

[EulaPeters]

girl. That *yutulu* bag, you look great carrying it! ! I like it! 😍😍

[Biggiemarvs]

Imagine your job is to authenticate stuff but you have to call someone else to authenticate it for you lol

[djsparkyy]

It's Pimblets younger brother, Paddy the baggie!! 😂

[spicysushi]

I have been buying Louis Vuitton bags since 1981... yes, I'm old.
I wouldn't be able to tell who's carrying a fake bag unless it's quite obvious.

True story I once purchased a fake Balenciaga bag from a knock off website for $250. I went and got it authenticated and they said it was authentic.

"Microscope"

Sir that's a jeweler's loop.
