1. Smell

Everyone who often goes to LV stores knows that as soon as you enter, you can smell the unique smell of leather goods in LV stores. For real experts, just one You can tell whether a LV bag is genuine or fake by smelling it, so if you have anything to do, go to LV stores more often.

2. Water dripping

Many fake LV bags are made of fake leather, which has poor water absorption. A drop of water will drip on the genuine leather part of the LV bag. , if it is a genuine leather LV bag, or a counterfeit high-level LV bag, you can see that the leather part absorbs water, and water stains will appear after wiping off the water droplets, so please be careful when buying a LV bag Remember, buy a can of mineral water and take it with you

3. Observe the depth of the pattern

The outer skin of the LV bag has been specially processed, so it is better to make a fake LV bags, the surface of the bag will be relatively rough, and the small particles on the surface will be relatively clear. The counterfeit products are not well made, and the surface texture will be very shallow. In the past, others used patterns, but this method has become outdated. , no matter what kind of counterfeit product it is, the texture can be matched very well.

4. The color of the bag

Basically, there are many colors of LV bags, but what I am talking about now is the color of classic LV bags, fake LV bags, The color is brown, but if it’s the real thing, it’s a little green in the coffee. I can’t tell the difference because I’m not very good at distinguishing colors, so I just wrote down what I know for everyone. Make a reference.

5. The cloth inside the leather bag

The cloth inside the LV bag is made of canvas. If it is made of leather, it must be fake. There is the texture of canvas. The canvas texture of the genuine LV bag is rough and the texture is clear, while the fake one is smoother and the texture is blurred, and the structure of the texture is not even visible.

6. Thickness of stitching

Real LV bags are made of fibers with high toughness. The stitching is obviously wicker-shaped, while fake LV bags Most of them are made of ordinary cotton thread, so there will be no willow stripes. Of course, I can't tell the difference, haha.

7. Correct the leather brand number

In real LV bags, or more exquisite LV bags with square hats, there are small inner bags, and there are also small inner bags inside. There is a small piece of leather nailed on, with the number of each bag printed on it, and they are all in a certain place. The fake ones have many numbers without numbers, and the positions are wrong. This small piece of leather is also knowledgeable. It is the size of the real LV bag. The skin has uniform texture, natural and delicate, while the fake skin has rough texture and is very unnatural.

8. The printed font should be light

There will be a small piece of leather on the outside of the LV bag, which reads: LOUIS VUITTON, PARIS, MADE IN FRANCE, real LV The printing on the bag is very shallow, but every letter is standard, even and neat, while the fake one is very clear and deep, not neat and many LV or U will be printed crookedly.

9. The texture of pot nails

The pot nails on real LV or better counterfeit LV bags will definitely be printed with the full name LOUIS VUITTON. If only the words The abbreviation of LV or no printing at all, then it must be a very fake counterfeit. In addition, the texture of the pot nails will have an arched look and a certain thickness, while the fake ones do not have this texture.

10. The luster of metal

The metal on the real LV bag is a kind of bronze, which is relatively dull in color, while the fake LV bag is bright gold. , highly reflective.

11. The size of the bag will be printed on it

Real LV or a good counterfeit LV bag will have a small piece of leather on the outside, which is printed with: LOUIS VUITTON, The small piece of leather of PARIS and MADE IN FRANCE will have the size of the bag printed on the back. This is a secret of LV bags, haha.

Tips for identifying LV:

1: When you get a brand new LV, please take a deep breath and smell its natural leather scent

2: LV bags have hidden serial numbers on the edge leather seams. The serial numbers indicate the place and date of manufacture of the bag.

3: All LV accessories or locks have the LV LOGO. Words

4: The hidden serial number of LV does not completely represent the complete basis for identifying authenticity, but many counterfeit products often have flaws in the serial number. How to identify the serial number? Please listen to me explain in detail< /p>

The English letters represent the place of origin:

France: A0.A1.A2.AA.AN.AR.AO.AS.Al.AC.BA.BU.CA.CI. CT.ET.FA.FH.FL.FR. LM.LO.MB.MI.MO.MX.NO.ND.OS.OU.RA SD. SL SN..SP.SR.TH.VI.VR.VX etc.

Spain: CA (EPI, etc.) LM.LO.MO (M-color)

Italy; SA usually manufactures clothes, shoes and other accessories

USA: FH.FF.OS.SD

The LV serial number will be in different positions due to different series, but usually the branding position can refer to the following instructions

*Match the line on the car line (such as the bottom of the bag, the upper left or upper right of the stitching)

*The back of the LV leather trademark that can be turned up

*The bottom connection of the strap

1 Some logos have to be symmetrical, front, back, up, down, left and right. It takes a lot of fabric to achieve this.

2 When the leather part comes into contact with the air, it will undergo a chemical reaction and naturally oxidize and turn red. This is a noble coral red, and this kind of leather is not available in general factories.

3 All the wiring stitches are uniform, and there is a shallow defensive line next to the yellow line on the leather strap.

4. Test the draft by dripping water on the leather part, and it will turn black after dripping.

The white connecting the edges of the 5 bags can be turned into red leather threads, which are very thin, straight and round, which is something that ordinary factories cannot do.

6 The leather lining has a serial number. The lining is canvas, leather, velvet, and the first layer of leather can be observed by visual inspection.

7 Metal zippers are easy and easy to use, but the cost of this kind of zipper is also very high.

8 Since the bag is three-dimensional, it looks like a geometric shape from all angles. It is XXXXX orderly and not uneven.

9 Dust bag serial number.

Additional comments from the respondent 2010-04-23 21:09 1. Look at the skin lines.

The leather texture of a real LV bag is relatively deep, the gaps between the small blister grains are relatively clear, the width is average, and it feels moderately soft and hard to the touch, and is relatively flexible. To make an analogy, it is as if there is a flat surface below, and then the irregular blisters are added one by one. The gaps between each blisters are even and have a certain depth, and each small blister is laid on top. The height and depth are also uniform, and it looks more textured.

The imprinted patterns on counterfeit LV bags generally look similar, but they will become oily after being used for a long time, and the hand feeling is not delicate and flexible enough, and it feels hard. Although there are irregular patterns, the gaps between the patterns are small, and it feels like the bubble particles are tightly packed together, which is not three-dimensional enough. You can see the clues by comparing the details. Some imitation bags may have obvious grooves, but often the particles on them look too smooth and have no texture. Therefore, first of all, by looking at the skin texture, you can basically judge the authenticity of an LV bag. No matter how fanciful the counterfeiters are, the texture of LV presbyopia leather is a difficulty that counterfeiters cannot overcome.

2. Look at the color and composition of the four-leaf flowers on the old flower bark

The typical Monogram pattern looks like a single stroke of yellow-green from a distance, but If you examine it carefully, you will find that the print on it is composed of diagonal lines made of small dots; if you look closely, you will find that the printed color is actually composed of parallel diagonal lines. The color of the flower is yellow-green, and the overall tone is very distinct.

The imitation goods are A or above, and the flower logo is basically composed of diagonal stripes, but the color is often wrong, and most of them are brown. Some colors are relatively close, but due to the overall texture, when viewed from a distance, the colors always feel blurry.

Please note that this second method can be used as one of the basis for identification, but it cannot be completely based on this point, because now the imitation is more realistic in pattern, and the color of the flower on it is closer to the color of the real bag.

3. Look at the hardware accessories

Usually the genuine hardware at LV counters, such as zipper pullers, is usually not a very bright golden yellow, but a bronze color, which is slightly darker. , almost frosted texture. Of course, this cannot be generalized, because many new types of hardware now use dazzling bright colors. What is discussed here is the most common old style regular bag. Although the color of the hardware of the counterfeit bag is quite close to the bronze-gold bronze color advertised by the super-A seller, it is still too bright. The biggest difference is the LV word on it. The original is more three-dimensional and neat, and the edges are more angular. However, in addition to being brighter and brighter, the imitation has the embossed feeling of LV that is too smooth and not clear enough. 4. Check the leather

Some people say to check the anti-counterfeiting thread and the drip test. This has actually been accomplished by Transcendent A and above. So we still have to look at the details. First, let’s talk about the thin white original leather piping that connects the presbyopia around the bag (such as pillow bags, shell bags, etc.). Genuine LV is usually very thin, straight, round and three-dimensional. The whole strip is very even and neat, with no breaks and no seams visible. , no distortion or awkward feeling.

The second is the genuine leather shoulder strap. Even the LV shoulder strap is a cross-body bag, and it is one piece without any seams. This requires high leather, and the loss of leather is huge. Generally, it is difficult to make imitations. arrive. Then there are the handles of the handbags. The genuine handles are rounded and smooth with no wrinkles at all, while inferior imitations often have wrinkles at the turning points, but some super A bags can already have no wrinkles. Some people say that you can tell from the color, but this is actually the most misleading. Because LV specializes in the same style of bag, it is impossible to have the same leather color at different times. Over time, the degree of oxidation is different, and the color is also different. You should know that the color of this kind of leather will change even if it is not left alone for a long time.

The matching leather sheet is not particularly easy to see from the photos, especially the ones that have been turned to honey color. But if it is a new bag, especially the handle of the hand bag, you can judge it by the feel. The leather of a genuine new bag feels a bit like raw silk, a little astringent, with obvious pores and no luster. With use, the pores of the leather will close. If properly maintained, it will become shiny and flexible. As for the leather of the fake bag, even if it can be wrinkle-free, it will be brighter when it is new, and it will feel tough but not soft. On the leather of the new pillow bag, you can see the fine skin texture pores and neat rolling lines.

5. Look at details such as leather stitching and sealing paint

LV’s sewing lines are not only neat and symmetrical, but also waxed linen and cotton threads, which can be used as identifying details. For all LV products, thick and tough sutures will be placed at equally spaced seams to open the inner handle buckle of the LV handbag, and the fixed position of the leather is also correct. Even though the appearance of today's imitation goods can be done well, it is difficult to make the line position so meticulous on the inside. It used to be said that the needle angles can be used to tell the difference. Fake bags are usually straight along one line, while real bags have every needle angle at an angle, like connected willow leaves. But from this perspective, some imitations above A level can already do this, so this is not enough to be relied upon, and can only be used as a standard to test the precision of genuine bag imitations. Judging from the comparison of the leather of the two old genuine and fake bags below, there is not much difference in stitching, but the feel is slightly different. The imitation leather is harder and brighter, and really softer. In addition, if you observe the stitching used on genuine and fake new bags, there are also differences. However, this difference is limited to new products and is only for reference. The genuine product is yellow (you can refer to the picture in point 4), while the color of the counterfeit product is goose yellow or very bright yellow. This situation is usually only obvious when it is new. Once it is used, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the color of the thread alone.

In addition, it can be seen from the sealing paint on the edge of the leather, but this also depends on when it was relatively new. The difference between genuine and fake new products is obvious. The sealing paint on the edges of real bags is brownish red, while some denim models or relatively limited sealing paint colors will be slightly lighter. Imitation bags are always too light and orange. In addition to the color, the sealant is an even shade of color and does not bleed. Pay special attention to the joint between the leather handle and the metal buckle. The edge sealing and turning are still very even, and there is no roughness due to changes in thickness and shape. Counterfeit goods usually have flaws in this detail.

The edge sealing of imitation products will be a very red color, or the color is too light, even if it is brown, the color will always be awkward. In addition, the sealing paint in some places is not neat enough, and the color will overflow. Condition.

However, if a bag has been used for a long time, it will be difficult to distinguish it by color. It can be seen that the aging of the bag can actually cover up many details, so special attention should be paid to some second-hand bags that are fake online.

6. Look at the serial number.

LV handbags will have a manufacturing number indicating the production factory and year printed in some inconspicuous places. It usually consists of two English words and four digits. Every LV handbag will have it, and the year of production is different. Different styles of bags have different serial numbers. Counterfeit products will have serial numbers, but often those produced by a counterfeit factory will use the same serial number. It must be noted that some authentic bags produced before 1987 do not have such numbers. Depending on the series of LV bags, the position of the serial number stamp is also different. For example: the inside of the root of the strap (such as a siomai bag), the inside of the leather root of the metal buckle (large twin stars), the matching leather on the side buckle in the bag (small shoulders), the small matching leather on the side seam of the inner bag (small twin stars) star), the inner bag has a small piece of leather with the full name of LV sewn on it. Then open the inside and stamp it on the inner side seam (denim). The bottom of the bag is opened on the matching leather near the sewing position (speedy). etc.

Many people think that those whose serial numbers start with SP are from France and are more authentic. In fact, not all LV products come from France. Spain, Italy, the United States and Germany also produce LV. Therefore, even if the product does not come from France, it is not necessarily a fake. No matter where it is produced, the quality of the authentic LV bag will be the same. In addition, not all French-made serial numbers start with SP. The general serial number consists of two English letters and four digits, representing the place of origin and production date respectively. First, three digits represent the month, and second, four digits represent the year of production. An exception is that it is now found that the order of the four-digit serial numbers of many newly released bags has changed. For bags purchased after the end of 2006, the second and fourth digits indicate the year of production remains unchanged; but the first and third digits indicate the year of production. The number indicates the week of production in the year. For example, 1097 does not mean the 19th month of 2007, but the 19th week of production

The following are listed for reference and must be identified by serial numbers (English letters represent the place of origin):

France: A0.A1.A2.AA.AN.AR.AO.AS.Al.AC.BA.BU.CA.CI.CT.ET.FA.FH.FL.FR.

LM.LO.MB.MI.MO.MX.NO.ND.OS.OU.RA SD. SL SN..SP.SR.TH.VI.VR.VX, etc.

Spain : CA (EPI, etc.) LM.LO.MO (M-color)

Italy; SA usually manufactures clothes, shoes and other accessories

USA: FH.FF.OS.SD

The LV serial number will be in different positions due to different series, but generally refer to the following instructions for the branding position

At the intersection of the sewing line (such as the bottom of the bag, the upper left or upper right of the sewing line )

LV leather with a flip-up interior

The back of the logo

The strap is connected at the bottom

For example, the large bucket bag below The serial number indicates that the bag was produced in France in April 1923

Some people will mislead and say that their bag has a serial number, so it is real. In fact, in addition to the appearance of super-A or above imitation bags, the serial number will also appear in the same position on the same bag. For example, this imitation denim (denim) backpack also has a serial number imprinted on it. It was found that counterfeiters seem to prefer this number: SP0012.

7. List the size of the handbag

The last secret, which many people may not know, is that the back of the handbag has "Louls Vultton Parls made in France" printed on the outside. LV will definitely print the size of this bag. Such as this 30-inch bag. You can see the word "30" on the back of the leather. If it is a fake, it will definitely not be there.

Identification tips:

The F in "Made in France" must be capitalized. Some counterfeit products on the market use lowercase "F".

All LV accessories or locks have the LV LOGO

LV’s Monogram cloth is a special canvas with flame-resistant materials. You will feel it when you touch the leather goods first. Concave-convex texture.

(The texture of the imitation is mediocre and smooth to the touch)

LV leather goods will have serial numbers hidden at the edges of the leather seams. The serial numbers indicate the place and date of manufacture of the bag.
