You can’t judge authenticity from this point alone.

1. The lines of real bags are relatively deep. If the gaps between the particles of small blisters are relatively clear, it is like the width of the grooves between the particles is even. The whole thing feels moderately soft and hard, and relatively flexible. The texture of the leather is like having a plane itself, and then irregular blisters are added one by one, and the gaps between each blisters are even and have a certain depth. The height and depth of each small bubble on top are also uniform, which makes it look more textured. The patterns embossed on imitation bags are quite similar, but they will become oily after being used for a long time, and they usually feel harder. Although there are irregular patterns, the most important thing is that the gaps between the patterns are small, and it feels like the bubble particles are tightly packed together, which is not three-dimensional. In short, a comparison can still be seen from the details. The first point above is to look at skin texture. If you can actually master it, you can basically judge the authenticity of LV bags. No matter how fanciful the counterfeiters are, the texture of LV presbyopia leather is a difficulty that counterfeiters cannot overcome. Even though some bags may have obvious grooves, the particles on them often look too smooth and have no texture.

2. Judging from the color and composition of the four-leaf flowers on the old flower bark. From a distance, each stroke of a typical Monogram pattern seems to be solid yellow-green. However, upon closer inspection, you will find that the print on it is composed of diagonal lines composed of small dots. If you look closely, you will find that the printed The color is actually composed of parallel diagonal lines. The color of the flowers is yellow-green. The overall color 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. Mostly brown. Even if the colors are close, due to the overall texture, it always feels blurry when viewed from a distance. But please note that this second point can be used as one of the basis, but it cannot be completely relied on, because now the imitation is more real, and the color of the flowers above is also very close to the real one. Here is a comparison picture to see the difference. But be aware that if you buy online, sometimes the photos may have a color cast. For example, some people take pictures with their mobile phones or take pictures under lights at night, which may result in a color cast. What's more, the colors of some Korean or European imitations can be very close, so this can only be used as a reference. In other words, if you see the color in the picture on the right under very bright light, you can conclude that it is a fake and try to avoid it. But just because the color is close to real doesn't mean it is real.

3. Identify from the hardware.

Usually, the hardware of genuine LV counters, such as zipper pullers, is usually not a very bright golden yellow, but a bronze-gold color. It does not feel particularly bright, and some are slightly darker, somewhat similar. It has a matte texture, but not to the point of being matte. In short, it feels very textured. Of course, we can’t generalize. Nowadays, many new hardware items come in very bright colors. Here we only talk about the most common old-fashioned conventional bags. The following takes the Super A zipper puller as an example to illustrate the difference between the two. Don’t be surprised. The imitation pictured on the left is very shiny and bright. Although the color is quite good and very close to the bronze-gold bronze color of the genuine product advertised by the Super A seller, it is still a bit too bright. The picture on the right is a bit shady and that’s true. It may be due to the lighting in the photo, but the real thing doesn't have that heavy a matte feel. It still has a certain brightness, but it's not as bright as the picture on the left. The biggest difference is the LV word on it. The original is more three-dimensional and neat, and the edges are more angular. While the imitation is brighter, the embossed LV feels too smooth and not clear enough.

4. From the skin. Some people say to check the anti-counterfeiting thread and the dripping 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. Genuine LV is usually very thin, straight, round and three-dimensional. The whole strip is very even and neat, with no breaks, no seams visible, no distortion or slight twisting. Problems such as some, even good imitations, may be slightly thicker if you look closely. 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 leather is greatly damaged. Generally, imitations are difficult to make, and then there are the handles of the handbags. The genuine handle is rounded and smooth, with no wrinkles at all. Poor imitations often have wrinkles at the turning points. But generally, most products above A level can already achieve wrinkle-free appearance. Some people say it can be seen from the color. This is most misleading. Because LV specializes in selling the same bag in different periods, it is impossible to match the leather with exactly the same color. Over time, the degree of oxidation is different, and the color is also different. You should know that this kind of leather will change color even if it is not left alone for a long time.

For example, the classic pillow bag seems to have been released in the past, and many of them have dense colors on the handles. Most of the ones I bought recently are very white in color with leather, which is not particularly easy to see from the photos, especially those 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 genuine new bag leather feels a bit like raw silk, a bit astringent to the touch, has obvious pores and lacks 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. After being worn out, the link between a good imitation bag and a real bag is, to be honest, hard to tell. It looks brighter and harder than the real thing. (If you put aside LV, maybe many people will think that the leather of the fake bag looks stronger than the real bag) But don’t think that the genuine leather shoulder strap will not wrinkle (this refers to the shoulder strap type, The shoulder straps will not wrinkle after being used for a long time). After all, it is still leather. No matter how well you choose it, if it is folded frequently after being used for a long time, the shoulder strap will definitely have wrinkles! It is said that the leather used by LV must be cowhide from cows somewhere, and it must be properly maintained. If there is a scar from a mosquito bite, it will not be used by LV! ! It’s so perverted that not everyone can reach this level! I wonder if possible, would LV specifically raise cattle and use skin care products regularly? Let’s refer to the leather on the new pillow bag and feel the pores on it.

5. Look at details such as leather stitching and sealing paint. LV's sewing lines are not only neat and symmetrical, but also made of waxed linen and cotton threads, which can be used as an identifying detail. For all LV products, thick and tough stitches will be placed at equal intervals. It is said that there are strict regulations on the number of stitches per inch. The hand-stitching of the inner grid is also meticulous. When you open the inner handle buckle of the LV handbag, the position of the fixed leather patch 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 you can tell the difference from the angle of the needles. Fake bags are usually straight along one line, while the corners of the needles on real bags have an angle, like connected willow leaves, with an angle. But now those who are imitating products beyond A level can also do this. Therefore, this is not enough to be relied upon, and can only be used as a standard to test the precision of genuine bag imitations. Let’s compare two old genuine and fake bags with leather. It’s actually hard to tell from the photos. But the feel is slightly different. The imitation leather is harder and brighter, but slightly 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 real thing is yellow (you can refer to the picture on the first floor). For some reason, the imitation ones always use the wrong color, either a very timid goose yellow or a very bright yellow. But it is usually only obvious when it is new. When the fake ones are worn out, the colors of the threads will not be distinguishable. In addition, it can be seen from the sealing paint on the edge of the leather, but this also depends on when it is relatively new. The difference between the real and fake new products is more obvious. The edge sealing paint on the real bag is brownish red. It seems that some denim models or relatively limited seal paint colors are a little lighter now, but not much lighter. The imitation is 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. The imitation usually shows clues in this detail, and the edge of the imitation will be a very red color, or the color is too light, even if it is brown, I don’t know why it is very brown, in short, the color is very wrong! In addition, some places are not neatly sealed with paint, so there may be a little bit more in one place. However, if the color is used, it will not be visible. It can be seen that the old bag can actually cover up many details, so pay special attention to some second-hand bags sold online as fake ones. As can be seen from the imitation below, the old-fashioned leather is actually very lifelike, but the color of the leather edge is a bit awkward. But if it is worn out, this color difference will disappear. In addition, you can carefully examine the zipper of the imitation bag. In fact, to be fair, it is a relatively good imitation.

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 bag models 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, the inside of the leather root of the metal buckle, the leather on the buckle on the side of the bag, the small leather on the side seam of the inner bag, the inner bag has a small piece of leather with the full name of LV sewn on it. , then open the inside, brand the inside side seams, open the bottom of the bag on the leather at the sewing position, etc. Anyway, if you look carefully, you can always find it. Many people think that if the serial number starts with SP, it comes from France and is 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! And LV’s quality control believes that no matter where it comes from, the quality 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. Update: It is now found that the order of the four-digit serial numbers of many new bags has changed. For bags bought after the end of 2006, the second, four-digit number indicates the year of production remains unchanged; but the first, three-digit number indicates the year of production. 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. To identify them by serial number, you have to have a good memory:

Made in France: A0, A1, AA, AN, AR, AO ,AS,AI,AC,BA,BU,CA,CI,CT,ET,FA,FH,FL,FR,LM,LO,MB,MI,MO,MX,NO,ND,OS,RA,SD,SL , SN, SP, SR, TH, VI, VR, VX?

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

Italy : SA...

United States: FH, FF, OS, SD...

Germany: PO, PB...
