How can I tell if the Louis Vuitton purse my mother bought me is authentic?

I know it's an older modle because I've seen the newer modles in Bazaar Mag. On the out side it is black leather with the colored LV symbols, it is lined with tan suede and it has a stamped leather patch on the inside of the purse that says (R) [the parenthesis are supposed to be a circle] LOUIS VUITTON PARIS made in France.|||Assuming the bag was purchased new (as opposed to from e-bay etc.) then the ONLY place to buy authentic is directly from the Louis Vuitton boutiques. This is because LV does NOT wholesale their items. With that said, this is the way that EVERY Louis Vuitton bag is packed with every sale (and this is the way your mom would have given it to you): handbag placed inside a soft tan "sleeper" with Louis Vuitton printed on it. Then it is placed inside a very heavy duty dark brown box with Louis vuitton printed on it in brown. Then it is tied in leather ribbon or satin LV ribbon. THEN it is placed inside a large brown bag that matches the inner box...brown with brown louis vuitton written on it. If you want to know for sure, go to mypoupette.com and for $10 they can authenticate it for you through photos. The details you listed are on authentic bags as well as fake ones.|||FACTORY DIRECT SALE+RETAIL+WHOLESALE+DROPSHIP鈥?ORDERS+WORLDWIDE

|||Sometimes it is very difficult to tell whether or not a bag is authentic, because a lot of the fake ones they make these days are very good quality.





I recommend that you take the purse to a Louis Vuitton dealer near you and have them identify the bag. Chances are good that they will know their quality better than anyone else.





Also, you can look up the serial number of the bag and call the company directly. With the serial number they should be able to tell you whether or not you have an authentic bag.|||Well if you and your mom are concerned that you might have bought a fake because she got it on Ebay or any other suspicious website.


The answer is simple contact Louis Vuitton ask them who are there official retails and if she did not buy it from one of them then the bag is a fake.





If she got it on Ebay don't even bother to call Louis Vuitton its a fake, fake, fake.





Now if you are the only one that's worried. That is a different issue. Don't worry its authenticity and appreciate the gift.





Your mother was nice enough to buy you a gift. She probably did her best to get you what you wanted within her budget. Never look a gifted horse in the mouth. If you like the bag then don't worry about its and enjoy it.|||count the number of colors on the purse. i think real ones have 36 different colors. also if one of the lvs r red it probably a fake. check this website to find out more
