  • i thought the real louis vuttion bags have paris on it and then under it .... it would say made in usa

  • I have this wallet I bought on ebay. Its suppose to be a Louis Vuttion Daimer checkbook. How do I use purse forum to spot a fake? Pls help

  • it can say louis vouttin MADE IN U.S.A. just FYI

  • hii was wondering do the fake speedy have a code to or no thaxx :)

  • @xocitysubjectxo nowadays they can not all but some. however the codes are completely made up. so if you were to take it to an lv store they would say its fake and probably sub poena you to reveal where u got it.

  • Thank you! Very useful!! I agree w/ an earlier comment; to avoid fakes, go to the LV store & buy it. But sometimes people give you one as a gift & you're not sure (like me)b/c ive never bought or even looked at one. No offense, not my style. My LV is a small briefcase, so the info you gave about the stitching, doesn't apply..but the lettering doesn't wrap around, like your first tip said. So, I'm guessing it's a fake. Got the purse as a congratulations for your promotion type gift from a guy I

  • @AnikoOlah i mean when in doubt you can always take it to the lv store and find out. my theory is that every style of purses are different. i should change the title to how to spot a fake speedy 30 lol

  • If it was real, then it would probably be durable and not get damaged by water JS

    ..

  • @TheElduende24 thats where your wrong. the bad is not damaged by water. its the LEATHER PIPING leather REAL LEATHER will get water spots, sometimes they'll fade sometimes not. go find a 100% real leather couch and pour water on it and see what happens

  • Your bag is the monogram canvas, so the only parts that are leather are the handles, zipper pull, and trim. The rest is canvas. Just FYI. :)

  • just dnt buy it anywhere else but at a Official Louis Vuitton store, so you dnt have to worry if its real or not!....duh!

  • not all OG LV have the five stiching.....the Vintage LV are alittle different...and not all OG have the made in france...

  • Thank you for answering my question about my Louis :) Appreciate it!

  • That bag should have double stitching on the top row of the handle base...

  • @1alarnar woah woah no it shouldnt. there should be double stitching right where the zipper is. but no double stitching on the handle base. unless u mean double stitching on the actual handles near the bottom where it attaches itself to the metal idk how to discribe it. everyone wants to keep proving the bag as fake but it is from the louis vuitton store. what more do u ppl want? louis vuitton himself

  • @fashiongrl2010 thank you! haters gone hate

  • :/ this is a fake bag sorry. But i can really tell

  • @sarahdior1 um yeah its not so sorry but you don't know what your talking about missy. Its ok tho I trust louis vuitton more than you

  • hey annette :) its me henry your favorite honduran :)

  • @coloco99 omg henrita my baby!

  • lol its funny people make this video now the counter-fit people know how to make LV bags haha

  • @recx i so that about that after I made it. but hey i dont make them do it lol

  • If I take my LV jeans to the store, will they be able to tell me if it's real or not?

    Thank you.

  • @AnmolDaBadshah see they SHOULD know off the top of your head but I bet they'll have to find one like it in the store and do a comparison. make sure they look at stiching, what thread is used, buttons etc. all the tiny details that aren't supposed to be easily copied

  • Also where you lift the flap up and it says 30? i got mine from a louis vuitton store in london and it says 00 under the flap not 30? x

  • Do you have any advice on how to stop the handles from browning? i got my 30 on friday and i love the lighter leather colour more than the brown handles :( x

  • @notetoselfimissyouxx the only thing i could tell you is don't use it alot lol and don't get the handles wet, that helps too. also make sure you haven't just put any lotion on or anything. the oils help to brown it

  • I have a small LV and some of the stuff that is on this video aren't on my bag because its so small its a shoulder bag and its like a step up from a wallet.

  • Fake louis vuitton bags have large goofy looking straps/handles , notice all real bags have small straps/handles!!!!!

  • Hi! Why so many people has doubt about fake louis vuitton. This video is very important in case you buy from another person (like a friend or friend of a friend), but if you intend to buy in the louis vuitton store, you dont need to worry about it. its totally real, or may I be afraid?

  • If a Speedy doesn't have the ring it is fake!! A+ quality fakes come with the LVs facing down going around the back..A+ fakes have the ring and the numbers...NEWER SPEEDYS ARE MADE IN USA and says so on the side handles....fakes will have the size 30 on the handle too! Fakes will oxidize also....I suggest you buy from authorized dealers only...I have been looking, researching, and trying to find a bag preowned...IT IS DANGEROUS OUT THERE!! LOL...I can't trust any of them!!

  • @naskieboo thats the best advice i could give. buy it from louis vuitton its the ONLY way you can be 100% sure

  • Thank you for your video! My Louis Vuitton had everything you're telling.. the 5 stitches, on one side of my bag the lv's are upsidedown, the little bag on the inside looks exactly the same, I have the serial number and there is the model number of the purse (30) at the same place where yours is. There is only one difference.. That little leather thing where the keyring is attached to, has a different shape in my lv. Mine is longer.. Do you think my LV is fake?

  • @BelleDewi thanks! and I really don't know. i'd have to see it. if you paid a louis vuitton price for it and it has everything else it could be real. and even if it wasn't you got pretty darn close. if a key ring is the only difference then i wanna lean toward real. i'm not a professional so i could be wrong but i think its real

  • I have the Speedy Eden from the Printemps-Ete Collection 2010 and its a perfect 28 the only speedy of its size and already its huge to me and fits EVERYTHING! Haha, like the vid.

  • Its so funny how everyone on YT, that is talking about their LV, apoligizes for it! :P You dont have to gurl! You worked for it, you bought it, enjoy it! And people that are going to say:"so much money for just a bag! omg, give it to kids in africa!" wait whuut?! please stop.. some people buy cars..some people by bags. Deal with it :)

    Great video! Love your LV.

  • @DutchRodent Amen lol! especially since I'm 100% african believe me i do my fair share for my country :-)

  • Bought my first 2 lv's of off ebay just this month. Vintage. I can't c myself buying brand new. I think I like vintage anyway

  • @diamonds4joy I think when it comes to fashion vintage is always better. LV has been around so long I would love to have a vintage piece that maybe they stopped producing or something like that. I love vintage Dior. I can't afford it but i love it lol

  • Thank you, that was so helpful, I can not believe how many fakes are out there... you have saved me a lot of money... I will just go to the LV store and get one from there.

  • @jaxmick thats what i like to hear! your welcome :-)

  • Thanks for the informative video. My Speedy 30 is just as you describe but has no D-ring. Do you know anything about that?

    Thanks!

    Mindy

  • I didn't read all the responses but a vintage french company louis vuitton speedy is made from two pieces of canvas therefor the Lv are upright on both sides. These were made for about 10 years under special license in the united states. I have sold several on my website where I sell authentic LV. So just letting you know the LV are not always upside down on one side.

  • By making this video, you've helped promote shallow consumerism. If nobody knew which ones were "fake," then no one would pay extra just for a brand.

  • @Bonertronica well thanks for giving me10,027 views! People pay extra for quality. The louis vuittons where the handlest start to peel after a while fake because the real ones are made out of quality leather and canvas so they last literally forever.

  • @fashiongrl2010 Most people who buy the knockoffs wouldn't really care about that if it wasn't for the fact that you just outed them to the people they're trying to impress.

  • @Bonertronica haha i kno! i've had people come up to me and say we have the same purse. *once over* "no we don't" yeah we do. "no...we dont lol and this is why." needless to say, dnt usually see that purse on them ne more. I have no problem w/ fakes just make sure its not peeling at least or it doesnt have obvious things wrong w it

  • @fashiongrl2010 Well then why not let everyone keep thinking their purse is real? Taking the whole status symbol thing away from designer brands is one of the best things you could do.

  • ok if all know how to spot for fake, then why fake producer would perfect it by learning from you guys, how it can help? thanks for reply....

  • @gigalin they wnt perfect it all the way because it wud be too expensive

  • @fashiongrl2010 so let say how much initial cost would be, like the one in your video? If they fake up eveything perfect and sell like real thing, is possible? ofcourse, they will get away with money any way? but only these money will not go to LV.. thanks for sharing your knowledge

  • Well i say if you can afford the real thing adwant to spend the money onit then that's good.But if there are women who has bills and other things to pay for and feels like paying a large amount on one bag is not that important but want to have one..Get a knock off who cares.

  • @AmazinGraceGT yeah i kno what you mean. But for some reason its like i worked hard and saved up for it why couldn't you? But in reality, you're completely right lol! Fashion should be available for everyone.

  • and thats how you know that its legit

    lol

  • thanks :) didnt know about the '30' under the side tabs.. yaaayy mine has it!

  • @janabel23 Awesome! I was walking on campus the other day and i see so many fakes that most people would think are real but when you know all the little things to look for its so obvious. For instance speedy's don't come with those "feet" underneath the bag. *smh* and both sides are not upright only one is.

  • So does same go for rain? Will it get damaged by rain as it did with the water bottle?

  • @iilovelucyy i've been caught in the rain a few times and i don't really notice water damage from the rain because i've never been caught in heavy rain and i always grab a towel and wipe it off. also, my leather handles have darkened alot more. I think if it gets wet on the handles you'll be fine. my problem was that it got wet inside the bag and i couldnt blot the water it just had to sit in it till it dried...so sad :-(

  • my louis vuitton is made in usa and its authenic i purchased it in store

  • @lilplayboybaby89 idk if i said its only made in france? did i say that? hope not. they make em in spain and in usa too. in tons of places

  • hi. so i found a louis vuitton speedy 30 same as yours in my grandmas closet the other day.. so the leather wrapping is all corrext, but the stitches on the handle has more than 5, in the inside its a tan color and it say louis vuitton made in france, and it doesnt have a pocket inside but it has a serial number on a little tab in the inside. i am not sure bcause my grandma claims that she bought this bag along time ago. i need help ): thank you~

  • or you can just go to a authorized retailer.

  • @dehiiii haha true but who wants to do that lol?

  • really good info

  • Thanks you sweetie. You did a great job of explaining the wrap around lettering and other details. One of the best I've seen on YT.

  • @mzlavonne thanks a mil! i appreciate the luv

  • thanks, that was good info

  • @tieshaglover thanks so much. i love when people are nice lol and not hating. we need more people like you on youtube.

  • "it defies the law of physics"

    lmfao but good job!

  • Thanx for the video. Can you show us the red dye on the edge of the handles please?

  • well its all one material unless you count the sides where its attached. the only threading that visible is from the handles. its brown thread on the inside and yellow on the outside

  • what does the inside sides look like- basically what I'm asking is- are there seams anywhere on the inside of the bag- or is it all one material?

  • you did a very good job.Don let the wanna be's get you down. They dont have the guts to do their own so they have to search for others to tear down. Most all of your info was correct.However some of the info is only to that one bag you cant say it goes to every bag. some of the vinatge bags dont have serial numbers at all.

  • @TheMermaidsiren1 thank you so much. and you're very right alot of this information was specific to that bag

  • im not gna lie. no one cares where u live and what makes u know all the facts?? very gd things u said but i doubt u got all of the info or half of it is right.

  • @katiemarierobbins i wasn't trying to brag about where i live. because I said i lived "near" that area (an hour away i mention). My actual point was that most people won't have a louis vuitton store near them if they don't live near an affluent area. Your not guna find louis vuitton in roswell, new mexico will you? AND i put a disclaimer at the beginning letting everyone know that I am not an expert and these are just a FEW things i've learned.

  • you head some really in depth detailed things to look out for, thanks !

  • @misshannyD no problem. i'm sure i missed some things but once again, i've never claimed to be an expert lol

  • thank u!!

  • the bag is NOT LEATHER. It is canvas. If it was leather it would be $2000 instead of $800. The straps are leather. Get your facts straight. Otherwise very informative video. Also Speedys are now made in the USA and Spain as well as France.

  • @saddlerackcowgirl ok well i think everyone knows the straps are leather its not that i dont know my facts. its that i didnt kno the word. i did describe the interior as canvas and if you read the comments you will see that i posted the codes for all speedy bags including usa spain and france

  • @saddlerackcowgirl your're a hater

  • @vcp202 to call someone a hater is to be a hater. i dont know what i said to make you think i'm "hating" on you...but hey if thats what you think then keep thinking that i guess

  • the bag is NOT LEATHER. It is canvas. If it was leather it would be $2000 instead of $800. The straps are leather. Get your facts straight. Otherwise very informative video.

  • That bag is hot, i'm so getting a speedy 35 for school. You are so pretty love your nails, cute color. Thanks for the vid

  • @aaronlosing aww you are soo freakn nice! congrats on ur new bag!

  • This is a awesome video girl!

  • @LuvLiveFashion thanks! eventually once i find time more videos to come!

  • great vid!

  • @TheBeautyKitten  thanks girl!

  • Most say Made in USA

  • This is the best vid for fake LV speedys on Utube. I have a genuine speedy, and u have noted checkpoints that I wasn't aware of. You have been an education, LV should be paying you lol.

  • @rohdi189 OMG that is the nicest comment ever! love you! thanks so much for that.

  • I do think this video is helpful but to save everyone the trouble, if you want a LV bag I suggest everyone going to the LV store, Saks, or Bloomy's and getting one. That way you know that yours is legit and to hell with what everyone else thinks. I know mine is real and thats all that matter :p

  • i have the monogram speedy 30, love the bag but it's the cloth material. i"ve had it for about 3 yrs and i have only used it like 4x cuz i already see like 3 small snags on the material :-(

  • @butterfli78 that must be a super cute bag though. thats to bad! ppl think i'm weird for being so freaked out about damaging my purse but if you spend that much on a bag in ur material is already snagging who wouldn't be upset :-(

  • I'm not saying it's fake but don't most of the Louis vuitton bags have "LV" buttons not "Louis vuitton" buttons?

  • @ggracesophiaa actually most louis vuittons have louis vuitton buttons. lv buttons are usually on a fake. i bought mine at the louis vuitton store so i'm positive

  • @fashiongrl2010 oh sorry

  • Actually when the water touches it, the leather doesn't get ruined. It's actually a watermark. :D

  • @emoflowerz i like to consider it ruined cuz i dont want my leather that dark. and now its half one shade of brown and half a lighter shade lol!

  • How old is yours? I'm getting the exact same one August 9th, but when I went to the LV store, the speedy said 'made in u.s.a.' :/ are they like NOT making them in France anymore?? D:

  • @FriskyDelight i honestly have no idea about that. i've never seen one made in the usa but its not impossible. one of my guy friends has an lv wallet and his was made in spain. idk about them bein made in the US

  • @fashiongrl2010 Yes Louis' do say they are Made in the USA. I recently went and purchased a Damier Ebene Speedy 30 and mine says Made in the USA, I asked the SA and she said that the handles are made in France but the bag is assembled here in the states. I had a Damier Ebene Speedy 25 for 3 yrs and that one was made in France. The ones that say Made in France are hard to find and usually sell out fast so you are lucky if you get one.

  • @jeddiethejedi1 that is super nice of you. thanks so much

  • I have a fake 30 and it has exactly the markings you described the real one as having.....the handles have even darkened! LOL.....oh dear....great video!

  • @screaminlisa I should have also mentioned that if the LV is in a crease or stiched across its fake. If the stitches are crooked fake. and the date codes must match the place where it claims to be made.

    France: A1, A2, AA, AO, AC, AN, AR, AS, BA, BJ, CT, DU, ET, FL, FR, MB, MI, NO, ND, RA, RI, SD, SL, SN, SP, SR, TH, VI, VR

    USA: FC, FH, FF, LA, OS, SD

    Spain: CA, LO, LB, LM, LW

    Italy: CE, MA, SA

    Germany: LP

    My purse says TH0022 & made in france. code n label must match.

  • @fashiongrl2010 Okay, I went back and grabbed my bag and there are no LV's in a crease and the code matches...made in france.....this is very strange. Someone gave me this as a gift. I wonder if I should take it to store to check it out? Or will I get in trouble? LOL

  • @screaminlisa you wont get in trouble. wen sum1 gave it to you was the leather almost white? if not then they could've gotten it at a consignment store. I once volunteered at a thrift store and they had one for $50 that was real (but was granny style). take it into louis. maybe this whole time you had a real one and never knew lol!

  • @screaminlisa Yes the handles were very light colored. Now they have darkenend. Interesting....

  • @screaminlisa oh yeah its def. possible. i went to a consignment store in georgia and bought my sister a real louis vuitton for $40 bucks. I wouldnt suggest this but if water touches it and its stains then ur purse is real. Rock it girl!

  • @fashiongrl2010 some models do stitch across the LV. When the canvas is cut, they just don't cut through the LV, but they can even be hidden under the stitching or the leather. Check some models on the website or even in the store, like the keepall or the artsy...

  • "It like, defies the laws of Physics."

    AHAHAHAHA. You're so funny.

    Great insight into the world of Louis Vuitton.

  • @edburitica thanks!

  • i love your lv!!! so vintage!!!

  • @eloiseful thanks girl. i love the speedy because its an eternal classic

  • This is a great video! And Your purse is super cool! :) Do You have any other LV bags?

  • @LuxeKS actually i only have one more. its the multicolor purse but its the small shoulder one. im actually thinking about giving it away in a giveaway if i reach 1000 subbies
