4 Ways To Spot A Fake Louis Vuitton

You can Buy Authentic Louis Vuitton items on ebay as long as you do some research. In this article I will go through 4 ways to ensure you're not getting the short end of the stick!

**1**

Know the company: Louis Vuitton has been around since 1854.

Louis Vuitton Does not Discount, not even end of the year sales not at saks, Neiman Marcus nordstrom etc...

Louis Vuitton does not wholesale, the only place to find Brand new LV is on Ebay, eluxury or LouisVuitton.com

Louis Vuitton does not have any outlets or secondaries. If you find a problem with a LV bag they will usually accept returns. They do not Hand the bag down to an outlet, they simply destroy the bag.

**2**

Know the person selling the items:

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SELLERS- Well obviously if they are getting a large amount of negative feed back on ebay, they are more than likely selling fakes... Never a good thing.

PRIVATE FEEDBACK SELLERS- Why would anyone want to keep their feedback private? The only ones that have something to hide are the ones who have negative feedback, usually when I see these I just pass on by.

ZERO FEEDBACK SELLERS- People that have Zero feedback are obviously the new customers ebay has recruited. A lot of times you can wait for a period of time and see how they progress. It really is up to you if you want to give them a try. Just remember its your hard earned money.

**3**

Know the Date code:

Louis Vuitton uses what you would call production code. This code is for their own purpose. It does give some sort of clue as to how old the bag is or where it was made. The codes on them are not unique, there are some that have the same number. Since the early 90's this code has been marked by 2 Letters followed by 4 numbers.

Get Pictures:

While on ebay, do not be afraid to email the seller asking them for pictures of the front, back,sides, lining, anything you can come up with. Not too long ago, a good friend of mine briefly spoke with a louis vuitton representative. She was told a really easy way to spot a fake Louis Vuitton is to look at the outer seams of a purse. A real Louis Vuitton purse will not have the "LV" initials shortened in any way, so if you see a Louis Vuitton purse selling for hundreds, but the seam you only see a half or cut off "LV" Do Not Buy It! Unless you want a fake. Take these tips and apply them.

Why Its So Hard To Find Authentic Louis Vuitton Online

Are you tempted by the millions of websites that show authentic Louis Vuitton handbags at drastically reduced prices? Are you itching to make that major handbag purchase online? Well before you do you, you need to know one thing. There is only one place online that is authorized to sell new Louis Vuitton handbags.

Although there are millions of online retailers desperately waiting for your online Louis Vuitton dollars, if you want a real Louis Vuitton your going to have to go to Eluxury. That is because only they have been authorized to sell them.

So forget all the hype. Any Louis Vuitton handbag that is put on sale at drastically reduced prices other than Eluxury.com is definitely a fake. Even those great deals on Ebay are mostly fake handbags. Most of these bags are made in China with inferior materials that just do not stack up to the real thing.

Furthermore, alot of these online retailers are very difficult to deal with. Some guarantee the authenticity of your item or your money back. However, when you receive your item and are shocked to find it is a fake, it is hard to get your money back.

So if your looking for that fabulous Louis Vuitton handbag at reduced prices online your probably going to be out of luck. My advise is to save up your pennies and buy it directly from the store or online at www.eluxury.com . That is the only way to guarantee an authentic item.

Agyness Deyn at the Louis Vuitton/Stephen Sprouse Tribute Party

No, Agyness Deyn didn’t walk into her closet wearing a blindfold. She’s just showing the Stephen Sprouse love for Louis Vuitton’s Stephen Sprouse Tribute Party, and that funky day-glo graffiti Louis Vuitton purse was definitely perfect for the occasion. The bag is part of the label’s new collection, inspired by the late, great Sprouse. Definitely not for every day, but tell that to my heart.
