If it's a really 'good' one, you still should be able to tell by the leather and the hardwear, (like zippers and gromits). They will be made of "cheap" material. Best thing is to go to a store that sells the real thing, take a CLOSE look at them, then you'll know the difference.

I would only buy one from a Louis Vuitton store because I can't tell these things. Hopefully one day I could afford one!

I think one would have to be very knowledgeable to be able to tell the difference.

Real Louis Vuitton purse snaps are monogrammed. The handles should be made of an entire strip of natural leather. The stitching on the handles should use yellow thread.The sides of the handles should be a shiny and glazed red. The zipper pull should be brass hardware, and heavy with an "LV" symbol on it. The canvas shouldn't be too soft,stiff, or shiny. ****very important!****The LV monogram should have irregular brown lines through the gold-colored letters, and flower pattern. There should be a card with the style number and name inside the bag. Find out what styles the bags come in because fake bags will come in styles and colors not available in the real thing and the lining will be different.

ya you can totally tell i have millionsof real ones and a couple of fake ones and you can totally tell the difference.

The only ones I can tell are the fake Coach ones that uses "G's" instead of "C's", we call them "Goach bags" LOL Otherwise I couldn't tell ya what brand it was to begin withQ

They all just look like handbags to me. I never really pay much attention to them at stores or when people are carrying them.

Yes, quite easily. There are a few key things you can look for: -Difference in color shades -Difference in monogram print -Cheap material

totally.

I wouldn't know a designer handbag if it sat in my lap and called me 'Mama'. Honestly, I think most of them are ugly anyway.

Most of them, yes, even from far away. But it doesn't really matter to me as I think they are all overpriced anyway. I guess when I see a good knockoff I think, smart lady!

Here's some info I pulled off of Ebay. I hope it helps you out! When you DO buy Louis Vuitton from a boutique... it will come with tags- but they are NEVER attached to the bag. Other designer labels like Chloe, Marc Jacobs, Coach will do this- but at Louis Vuitton- tags are usually tucked into a pocket or included in an envelope that comes with your receipt. This little white plastic LV circle tag.... with an attached tag? This was NEVER made by Louis Vuitton. If you see it attached, it isn't real. This weird yellow card was NEVER used by Louis Vuitton... if you see one included in an auction you are looking at, it is not authentic. For some reason, the fakers all use this dark bronzed envelope with a Louis Vuitton sticker on it (to the left below- with the lock on it)... LV has NEVER used anything like this. Finally, Louis Vuitton has never attached a canvas swatch sample to a bag like the one with the turquoise LV on it attached to the right side of the handle in the following picture... When you buy an authentic Louis Vuitton item from a Louis Vuitton boutique or eLuxury... you will get two tags- and MAYBE a care booklet. If you have it mailed to you by your favorite SA, she MAY include a little card thanking you for shopping with Louis Vuitton or whatever. That's it. One tag will say "Louis Vuitton" and will say what the bag is made of- whether it's monogram canvas, vernis, epi etc. The other will have the model number, the correct french name of the bag and the bar code. Notice that they are NOT attached to the bag and do NOT have the little plastic round LV white thing the fakers love to use. The tags would look like this: ***PLEASE NOTE*** The fact that a bag you are looking at has cards that look like this does NOT mean that it's authentic... The fakers do a better job duplicating the tags & receipts than they do with the bags! 4. The French Company & Vintage: During a period between the late 70's and 80's, Louis Vuitton licensed out production of its monogram pieces to the French Company. This is a US based production company, who produced pieces that were intended for distribution in the market here in the United States. These items will either have a marking that says that the item was produced under a special license, have a US based department store logo, or a particular tyvek French Company tag inside. French Company items will NOT typically have date codes and they do look slightly different when compared to vintage French made Louis Vuitton. Please refer to my guide to buying Louis Vuitton French Company items for more pictures & explanation... Other vintage Louis Vuitton items (not French Company)... may look different from what you expect today- may styles are discontinued and are really hard to get. Like the French Company items, vintage French made Louis Vuitton items often used treated leather in some of these vintage pieces, like this vintage Dauphine: Notice that the leather is darker and treated... this is not the untreated vachetta leather with a patina... These vintage pieces could also have Talon or Eclair zipper pulls- not the Louis Vuitton LV pulls that we have today...
