Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag Authenticity - 4 different fakes
For proper authentication, it's important to not only know the details of genuine designer items, but to also be aware of what counterfeits look like. We've compiled 4 fake Louis Vuitton speedy bags for you to examine. Notice how some are much more obvious than others.
Obviously Fake Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag
Though this obviously fake Louis Vuitton bag exhibits patina on its fake vachetta leather, there are many errors in each picture! Though all counterfeits are not as well made as their authentic counterparts, poor obvious fakes have the worst quality imaginable. It is very likely that the hardware on this bag could even be plastic!
This is the type of fake that can be authenticated by someone without a deep understanding of Louis Vuitton. Most people who are familiar with general fashion will be able to tell that it is fake just by touch and feel alone!
Bad Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag
The bulk of fake Louis Vuitton you find on other resale sites will be of this class. It's not obvious that it's a fake to those unfamiliar with the designer. However, many authenticators and LV enthusiasts alike can tell that this bag is fake even from a couple meters away. When an authenticator examines the details, it becomes even more obvious that this is not an authentic bag.
Bad Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy Bag
Here's another common fake. This time the Speedy is in a damier ebene canvas. Again, mistakes in each picture, but these types of counterfeit bags cheat people out of LOTS of money every single day!
Super Fake Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag
Even though not many pictures were provided for this much more convincing fake, an expert in Louis Vuitton authentication will be able to tell that this is a fake. Notice how all the features on this bag look better than the previous examples?
