fake louis vuitton purses

you might have a real deal, if he stole it then he'll probably sell it for anything to get rid of it. check the zipper that will be the next giveaway. some knocks are really good they could pass for real, do a google seach on how to spot a fake LV, or search the difference between a real LV and a fake LV, most of the sites won't give you detailed info, but you can find enough specifics that will help you determine if your particular bag is real. here are a few tips I found: hope these help

Arguably, the dominant force in designer purses is Louis Vuitton. If genuine Vuitton is what you're after, refer to our list of guidelines before you buy a "bona fide" bag.

• Classic Louis Vuitton monogram bags run from $400 to upwards of $1,000. If you're paying any less, you're not getting the real deal. Fakes range in price from $20 to $80.
• Real Louis Vuitton purse snaps are monogrammed. Manufacturers of replica Vuittons often skip that specific.
• Legit Louis bags usually start out with light leather. Over time, the leather will wear and darken.
• Take a close look at the handles, which should be made of an entire strip of natural leather. When first purchased, the handle is light tan in colour; over the course of a few weeks, it should oxidize and turn into a darker, cognac colour. Fake bags don't change colour like this because the handles are usually painted.
• The stitching on the handles should be clean and consistent, and should use yellow thread. The sides of the handles should be a shiny, glazed red.
• The zipper pull should be brass hardware, heavy to the touch. Look for a neatly imprinted "LV" symbol on it.
• The canvas of the bag shouldn't be too soft or stiff, or "oily" or shiny.
• The "LV" monogram should have irregular brown lines through the gold-coloured letters, and a flower pattern. Fake monograms may be a solid colour or look too green or orange.
• Ask for ID; there should be a card with the style number and name inside the bag.
• Know what styles of the bags are genuine and look at the lining. Fake bags often come in styles and colours not available in the real thing and the lining will be different

does anyone know where i can find places to buy fake louis vuitton and other brands in atlanta, ga? we are going for vacation in a few weeks and I am wanting to do some shopping

 

while i was looking for advice to spot a fake chloe,
i read that it is becoming harder and harder to spot a fake.
depending on where you buy your fake and the quality of the materials they use to make the fake.  some fake LV you can tell right away but my freind bought one in NY and you cannot tell it's fake.  regardless it was still worth $70 for the material it was made with.
i'd still rock the fake.  can't afford a $1000.00 purse.  i have a mortgage to pay. 
    

well alot of people, including myself, would love to be noticed with a louis vuitton purse/handbag even if it is faux, but these days you have to be careful as i was reading in Vogue magazine that louis vuitton and other big name brands have scouts who will fine you of up to $500.00 plus erasing all your privelages from buying from their shop if they catch you with a fraud bag. but what are the chances anyway?

I'm with you kellie, if you can't get the real one why would you get a fake one. It is a status symbol. So that would make me feel like I'm trying to be something I'm not. I don't like LV to begin with. I think the design is really ugly and I hate that shade of brown. And the fact that they have made so many fake reproductions makes me want them even less. Since they are so many good fake ones, people are always wondering if what you have is the real thing. I personally like name brand clothing, not because of the status, but because of the fit.  Good clothing always looks good and is always tailored well. However, I always wait for a good sale. I just refuse to pay those rediculous prices.

Although, a good classic, beautiful and functional bag is worth spending...at most, $550....(I don't consider any brand with logos all over their bag as 'classic')

I have a fake LV that I refuse to carry.  I was invited to a party and felt obligated to buy something, lol.  I also have a real DB, real Coach, and real Prada.  I will carry them when I am dressed in "real" brands, but I think it looks kinda silly to carry a fake brand or real brand bag, while wearing my walmart shoes, lol!  It's funny to see someone bummed out with a LV,  cause it screams FAKE!!!  I'd rather get the obvious fakes.  Not trying to pass at all, lol!

Let me first preface this review by saying that I am an enormous fan of

Chanel’s quirky-cool aesthetic and an ardent believer that the brand

is too often overlooked by handbag fanatics as a result of some of the

brand’s more eccentric pieces.

The Italian company is actually a great source for a variety of pieces in

your accessories wardrobe, and the ladylike leather goods from 

Chanelare a perfect display of not only the brand’s versatility, but

perhaps more importantly, its functionality.
