I find the good article with interesting tittle that said “How to Tell the Difference Between a Fake and Real Handbag”. As an ordinary person we are in generally interested with a handbag was started by its design, color, and accessories embed with it. I called it amazing first sight. Next step, we touch it, explore the inside design and was start with its material and determine it coming from the famous brand or just from local supplier.
If you are very concern of getting latest fashion design for yourself and think of high quality and design and top brands, so all the risk getting the fake handbags was a crucial problem have to be avoid. Thus, I think the safe choices for you to searching handbags are :

  • visiting the representatives of a famous designer brand’s shop that usually located in shopping mall or special boutique.
  • visiting the reliable grand shopping mall with first class customer like Myer or David Jones in Australia
  • shop online from the official website of a famous designer brand like Tano Handbag, Vera Bradley, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, etc

If you decide to try shop online (eventough you can not touch and try it) the following guidelines can give you some hints as follows:

Closer With Louis Vuitton Handbags

louis vuitton logo

Louis Vuitton or LV is one of the oldest fashion houses in the world. That name has become a symbol of high quality fashion. They mostly known for handbags, eventhough they also have the manufacturing of shoes, watch, wallet, luggage and other items.
Louis Vuitton started its activity in Paris and first began manufacturing the trunks of 1854. And then, the company was increasing and grew up with his famous handbag which was first introduced in late 1800’s. As the years passed, Vuitton won international recognition, a bronze medal at the 1867 World Fair and a gold medal at the 1889 World Fair in Paris.
After Louis died in 1892, his son, Georges took over the company and has become a multi million dollars that the company is renowned worldwide. It is the mark which is more like counterfeit products are very desirable throughout the country and the world. In 1936, after George died, his son, Gaston-Louis, took the helm of the company. In 1983 the company joined with America’s cup to form the Vuitton Cup, a preliminary competition, called for an elimination race for the world’s most prestigious race. In 1998 Vuitton entered the world of high fashion with the designs of Marc Jacobs.
Since 1896, Louis Vuitton has created the classic line, the monogram canvas, which has been an icon for LV Monogram CanvasLouis Vuitton’s superiority of luxury. The Louis Vuitton monogram is frivolous, elastic, brawny and well-built, 100% water resistant. The Monogram Canvas is also the most popular selling canvas until today. The line was originally created in the 12 classic styles, and then Louis Vuitton decided to add to the classic monogram canvas as in 1924, added the Keepall in three different sizes, and in 1932 added the Noe handbag.
Several designers came on board with the company for help in designing a line of limited edition handbags in over 30 different colors. The cherry blossom pattern originated in 2004 and is still very popular today.
The Louis Vuitton Epi line features small, compact, durable purses that are easy to maintain and look elegant and luxurious! The facility has an extra long wrist strap that makes it very easy to carry. It has a zip closure and is lined with elegance.
Another impressive is the limited edition Vuitton bag Aumoniere. It is made of silk and satin and the perfect night for any pocket gala or formal event. The grip is made of Snakeskin and the bag is lined in sheep’s clothing.
Please make sure that you can gain the authentic Louis Vuitton handbags because it’s very common in the U.S, you can find many replicas of LV handbags. They are made of materials of poor quality, which are sold at a fraction of the price, their design is very similar and some may be nearly exact, but are often much more expensive.
Before you go shopping, I think that it is wise if you read the guidance of finding authentic LV handbags from this both previous articles, in order to avoiding of replica or fake Louis Vuitton goods.

Avoid Fake Louis Vuitton Handbags (2)

Posted by admin On July - 9 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Louis Vuitton HandbagContinuing the previous article of the way avoiding fake Louis Vuitton handbags part I, below one of another Ebay member wolverine1027 give us the tips :

As most of you know there are alot of fake Louis Vuitton handbags, wallets, and accessories being sold online.  The following guide will help you with the basics of what to look for and what to avoid when looking for authentic Louis Vuitton handbags online.

  • Tip #1:  This is the most simple way to tell if a seller is honest.  Check their feedback, most sellers are going to have a few negative feedbacks because it is hard to please everybody.  But, if you see a pattern of negative feedback left about authenticity, chances are that this seller has been selling counterfeit goods.
  • Tip #2:  Another easy thing to look for is price, nobody is going to sell a brand new Louis Vuitton bag for $50 or $100 with no reserve.  If you see an $800 purse being sold for $75, there is a 99% chance that it is a fake.  Some people will say that they are Louis Vuitton wholesalers so that is how they get their price so low, Louis Vuitton does not wholesale to anybody, not only that, they will never sell “damaged” goods at a discount, these “damaged” handbags are simply discarded and never make it to the store.  Also Louis Vuitton Stores never have sales, the prices only go up not down.  Louis Vuitton doesn’t have outlet stores like Coach, this is how they keep their pretige so high, by never selling any one of their items at a discount and by assuring the highest quality goods.
  • Tip #3:  The best way to see if a bag is authentic is to compare the bag you want to buy with an authentic one. Louis Vuitton spends a great deal of time assuring the quality of their  bags to the point that each bag and wallet are pretty much identical.  The way to do this is either go on eluxury.com (an authorized online Louis Vuitton dealer) and compare the bag you want to the same one on eluxury.com, pay careful attention to the placement of the LV’s and the leather patches.  Or if you can find a mypoupette reccomended reseller (mypoupette.com authenticates designer handbags) and see if they have the bag or wallet you want and compare the two.  Mypoupette Resellers have to verify authenticity of everything they sell on eBay, so all of their merchandise is authentic.  Or you can go directly to mypoupette.com and they will tell

    you if the handbag you are looking at on eBay is authentic or not for a small fee, I think it is $5.

  • Tip #4:  Ask for more pictures or information on the bag, an honest seller will get back to you promptly, someone selling you fakes will probably not even answer your questions.  The more pictures a seller has, the more likely it is that their merchandise is authentic.
  • Tip #5:  If the date code is not pictured or stated ask the seller for it, all Louis Vuitton products have a date code that states when the product was made.  For example Louis Vuitton’s Cerise collection came out in 2005, so all date codes should end in the number 5, if the date code is TH0024, this bag is fake, TH0025 would be more likely to be authentic.
  • Tip #6:  Louis Vuitton uses date codes to tell the location and date a bag, wallet, or accessory was made.  Louis Vuitton started using date codes in the early 80’s, so bags made before this time like French Co bags will not have date codes.  The first date codes used consisted of three numbers, example 873, the first two numbers represent the year and the last one or two number represent the month.  So the numbers 873 mean that the bag was made in March of 1987.  If the date code is 8910, this bag was made in October of 1989.  In 1990, Louis Vuitton changed the format of their date codes by adding letters to the mix.  The letters indicate where the bag was made, the first and third number represent the month, while the second and fourth number represent the year.  For example; TH0025 means that the bag was made in February (02) of 2005 (05).  So if somebody tells you that the bag is brand new and the bag was made in France and the date code is SD0959, this bag is most likely a fake because the date code states that the bag was made in the United States (SD) in May (05) of 1999 (99).  However, if a bag that was made in France in 1995 had its lining replaced in the United States Louis Vuitton Stratusin 2005, then the interior date code may read SD0075 but the exterior of the bag will still say Made in France, but if you see something like this chances are it is a fake instead of having the lining replaced.
  • Tip #7:  If you see one of the following items on a Louis Vuitton handbag, it is fake.  If the handles are wrapped in plastic, if the hardware is wrapped in tissue, if there are tags attached to the bag, if there is a canvas fabric swatch hanging from the bag, and a yellow authenticity card comes with it; these are all signs of a fake handbag, authentic Louis Vuitton bags don’t come with any of these things.  In regards to wallets, any time you see an “authentic Louis Vuitton with original dust bag”  this is a fake, wallets come in boxes, they do not come with dust bags.  Also if you see a wallet that comes in a box that has a white interior, this wallet is a fake.  If you get through all of this and you still buy the wallet, check the interior creases and spread the material apart, if the wallet is fake you will see glue holding the seams together, if it is real the seams will have no glue.
  • Tip #8:  Louis Vuitton bags do have tags.  When you buy a bag in a Louis Vuitton store the bag or wallet will come with two tags and perhaps a care booklet.  One tag has “Louis Vuitton” written on it and underneath that it says what material the bag or wallet is made from, the other will have the items correct French name along with a bar code underneath that.  However; these tags are never attached to the bag, they are descretely slipped into one of the pockets.  So if you see a bag with tags attached to it with a plastic or rope tie, this bag is a fake.
  • Tip #9:  With regard to dust bags, Louis Vuitton has recently changed their dust bags, the older ones have a discreet LV that is brown and the bag is soft beige cotton, if you see any hint of red in it, the dust bag and probably the bag that comes with it is fake.  The newer ones say Louis Vuitton across it and are made of a rougher cotton material.
  • Tip #10:  Many people selling authentic Louis Vuitton products do not allow returns unless the bag is found to be a fake, this is fine.  If you come across an auction that says “All Sales are Final” and doesn’t allow a return even if the bag is fake, then this is probably why they don’t allow returns, because it is a fake.
    There is much more to know, but this will help get you started, and gives you an advantage on people who are trying to rip you off.

Avoid Fake Louis Vuitton Handbags (1)

Posted by admin On July - 4 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

louis vuitton handbagI am very concern with the news recently about Ebay loss Louis Vuitton of fake Louis Vuitton handbags was sold in Ebay. That’s why I think it’s important to post the reviews article written by Ebay member: world-of-vuitton 

10 Ways to Spot A Fake Louis Vuitton *Easily*

  1. Semmetry-Always make sure the Monograms line up
  2. LOUIS VUITTON NEVER cuts off their “LV” logo (only-some vintage items have cut off “LV’s”, so make sure to check the age of the bag)
  3. Always make sure that the leather is vachetta cowhide leather and NOT VINYL! The really bad fakes have the vinyl, but the good fakes that are coming out now, have leather handles, but it isn’t the cowhide vachetta leather. The fake bags that have leather, the leather won’t patina correctly, as the real vachetta cowhide leather will turn a beautiful honey color with time. The way that I see if the leather is true cowhide leather, is make sure that leather isn’t white, most fakes that I have seen have extremely light leather, which AUTHENTIC LOUIS VUITTON’s leather doesn’t come out that white, even if it is brand new from the store. If the bag’s leather has already started the patina process, I look around the handles and other areas of the leather. There is a red glue (not sticky) substance to keep the handles together and used around all leather pieces. On the fake bags that have leather, the glue is usually an orangy color and is usually sticky. Also if you can’t tell, make sure that there is an embossed line paralled with the yellow stitching, as this is the sewing line, which is found on all leather pieces.
  4. I look at the embossed stamp that usually reads, “LOUIS VUITTON PARIS made in France/Germany/Italy/Spain or U.S.A”. Make sure that the two “TT’s” don’t touch in the word “VUITTON”, and also make sure that that “o’s” are round “O” and not like “0″.
  5. Look at the date code, if you know how to decifer the date code (not called a serial number). There should be 2 letters followed by 4 numbers (I will be writing another guide about date codes, so please look at the other guides that I have written). The new fakes, have date codes as well, but I will teach you how to read them in another guide, so please refer to that for more information.
  6. Make sure that the item you are looking at is correct, as interior. In brown Monogram canvas it is brown textile lining (in most cases, some have different lining-Manhattan, Viva Cite, Trouville, Bucket, cosmetic pouches, luggage, vanity cases)-I will be writing another guide about interior linings so make sure to read my other guides), black multicolor is grey alcantara lining, white multicolor is red alcantara lining, damier canvas is red alcantara lining (in older models it was a light brown alcantara lining, so check age of bag), Vernis is textile lining that usually is the same color as the exterior of the bag, Epi leather is usually alcantara lining that matches the exterior color of the bag (some bags have bare interior-speedy-keepall).
  7. Take a look at the hardware, as they all have different hardware, so make sure the bag you are looking at has the correct hardware. If you aren’t sure you can go to LOUIS VUITTON’s website and look at their manufacturing pictures to compare.
  8. Make sure the bag that you are looking at, was even made. This is hard for limited edition, rare, and VIP items, as they aren’t on the website (not often)and catalogues. If you aren’t sure if that style wasn’t made consult a professional so you can make sure.
  9. If the bag that you are looking at, has a required padlock, make sure that the brass is shiny and not a brushed finish. All LOUIS VUITTON locks that I have seen are a brushed finished brass and really cheap looking. There should be an “LV” embossed on the front of the lock, and read, “LOUIS VUITTON PARIS MADE IN FRANCE” on the back, and have the lock number embossed on the bottom beside the keyhole.
  10. Look at the canvas (if looking at the collection), make sure that it isn’t plastic looking, as most fakes are made from it, and see if the quality looks cheap. LOUIS VUITTON items are very expensive, and wouldn’t put out a cheap looking product, so don’t forget what I said about PERFECTION!! If you are to have any information that you would like to include to this, please let me know, and I will be more than happy to add this information. If you see anything that might be inaccurate, let me know, and I cab consult another LV professional. This guide is built only on my knowledge and personal expieriences. If you have any auctions that you would like authenticated, please let me know and I will be more than happy to authenticate any item for you. I am wanting to start my own authentication service, I will give you first authentication for free, and after that it will be $1 for every auction listing authentication. If you are to have any questions, concerns, or problems please let me know and I will help you in any way that I can.
