if you buy it and you're not inside an lv store, it's fake.

Sammy says that if the LV runs through a seam then it's fake.

yeah you need to check the make, the material, the alignment of the pattern (should not be broken up, even over seams). if you are in doubt you can go to an lv store and they will be able to tell you.

This one time my friend discovered the Richmond night market and bought one for herself

"Wow, there must be a flaw in the fabric or something to make it so cheap!"


I had to break the news to her..haha

1. if there are 5 "arms" on the starry flower thing...it's fake. real LV has 4 "arms"

2. real LV's never ever EVER have an LV on the seam...if you see a louis bag with the LV on a seam...it's fake.

3. the grain of the bag has to be perfect...the LV pattern should travel exactly perpindicular to the side seams and should lay parallel to the top and bottom seams. if the grain is out of wack...it's fake.

we like playing "spot the fake louis" when we're shopping. it's always fun to give the broad a look as if to say "whatever...you're not fooling me, bitch". yesterday we were shopping and so many people had fake louis stuff. it seems like everyone has fake louis stuff. my ex used to model for lv and even he had a fake LV wallet and a fake LV hat.

i dumped him for that reason.
just kidding.


maybe.

^^^Ummm no probably more.

And yah basically LV real ones are always lined up perfectly check where its made,if its made in like say china it's fake, feel the leather and the inside aswell. It's nott hard to spot fakes.

a normal clutch or a city purse/bag costs a few grand, i think.

a normal wallet costs around...400 i think? around that.

wallets are the EASIEST to figure out if they're fake or not. only one LV should be on the face of the wallet...and it should be centered exactly underneath the leather button strap thing.

some of the reaaaaaalllllllly bad LV bags have upside down LVs and stuff. i didn't think anyone was trashy enough to buy something like that but apparently there are.

also...i'm not really sure if this is true or not...but all the fashion design girls at school say it's true: if there are metal attachments to the LV item (ie. grommets or buttons or fasteners)...no LV should travel outside of where the metal peice lies...it's easy if you look at the bottom of a bag...like one of those bucket purses with a flat bottom...cuz they'll have 4 metal nubbins on the bottom so the actual leather doesn't touch the surface it's lying on...and if you draw an imaginary rectangle connecting the 4 metal nubbins, no LV should be seen outside of that rectangle.

i'm not too sure how true that is though. but i'm sure it is. because when we play "spot the fake louis" up on bloor street in TO...all the fashion girls can kill me at spotting them cuz they know way more things about fake shit than i do.

they should write a book on fake LV shit.

chances are, if you can afford real LV, you can afford to put things in the bags, dear.

i wouldn't pay that much for anything LV. but if i had enough money, i'd spend that much on real couture.

but i'll be famous soon enough.

Lush has a spectacular aura aboutLush has a spectacular aura aboutLush has a spectacular aura about
My moms friend gave me her Louis Vuitton bag, it's baby blue and it's 100% authentic.
She's the mistress of this extremely rich guy and he always buys her clothes, bags and shoes that she never wears so she just decided to give me the purse that's registered and that she only wore out twice.
Seriously, so beautiful :)

My ex boyfriend gave me a knockoff Gucci bag for xmas last year and I love it, I know it's not authentic but it's really nice and I don't see too many people sporting Gucci knockoffs or Gucci anything for that matter so I don't really care.
