Louis Vuitton Authentic vs Replica - Totally GM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2012
- This is a comparison between an authentic Louis Vuitton and a Replica Totally GM. I am posting this video to show how close the replicas are to the real thing. If you buy pre-loved be aware that the replicas are sometimes not easily distinguishable. I would not have known the fake was a fake without comparing them side by side. It has definitely made me more leery of buying pre-loved.

you had me fooled with the bottom stitching.. the pattern matching was perfect.
+amaiky hernandez me too oh my god
Why would anyone pay for the real one when the replicas are so well made?
I’ll answer that, I’ve been trying for 3 months to get I touch with replica venders and haven’t had any luck. I feel like I’m chasing a shooting star
The self confidence of wearing the original and fake is different
Quality.
Anguno Tase if your self confidence is based on wearing some bag you dont have any. Sad.
@@diodaon4898 Why be bitter when others enjoy quality and can afford at the same time? Let them enjoy their authentics and you enjoy your fakes.
I really love that you don't judge the people who buy a fake and you're NOT pretentious and stuck-up like many of the reviewers who're like, "you can save and get a used from eBay for less!"... *rolls eyes* Buying items should be a personal choice and for some people, replica might be it. Who cares? Thanks for an informative video. Soooo wished I had bought a totally when they first came out and were cheaper. I still love them just as much!
Ok ***** , like 99% of the stuff you buy that's Made in China isn't made by child labor. Ok. Whatever. Get off your high horse and go preach it to someone else. It really takes a lot of time to make the same LV pattern canvas in many different shapes of purses, right? So much attention to "details" there. *rolls eyes*
I have both real and fake bags. I'm not shamed to carry a fake bag if it looked decent. When carrying a real bag sometime it's worrying to me that it could be snatched, soiled etc. I love designer items and they surely cash in on people's wallets...it's fine to carry a replica bag. I play it off proud, my gosh my replica bag cost me over 130 per bag. I feel as if that's pretty pricey for a bag anyway, let's be honest for the price that is charged for the neverfull at LV itcan not be nearly the cost of what it is to be made..we are gullible and love designers and I do pay, however, I want all the LV bags and can't have them all so I buy real and fake. Don't care, if someone thinks I'm a cheap person for carrying fake I don't care because I happen to like the looks of LV and will pay over 100 for a knock off and when I want quality and looks I'll pay 1000 plus. Also, good knock offs have pretty decent quality. My MK bags make me wonder what makes them so expensive the PU leather is cheap. LV Bags aren't even all leather, their handles and trimmings are but the base of the bag is not. Fossil carries FULL on leather bags for about 200 give or take! Love fossil! Just saying.
Why buy a real one than if you're going to be worry about it why buy it let the beauty sit
I agree with you, but I myself need to feel its authentic. Silly, but thats how i feel. However I am getting to the place that i just might chance it if it is extremely hard to tell the dif. We will see. Trying to save money now. Lol
Christine and Alex H Where do u get the fake LV bags? I don’t care either fake or real as long as it is super close.
Lara O'neal I found mine on Amazon. I have real and fake, and the fake ones I bought on Amazon. You can search replica bags and check the feedback on the sellers.
Christine H no harm in buying fake as long ss you know and are not duped into paying the price of a real bag.
Can you disclose the information of the replica seller, please....!
Your work and wisdom inspired me through the years to fulfil my dreams - Thanks you & Happy New Year !
I love your videos; never pretentious & very informative. You are a very successful woman to have such a wonderful collection of LV. I like how you compared your associates replica and didn’t speak bad about it just compared it and stayed as neutral as possible. Thank you, enjoyed your video.
I LOLd at the "be quiet"...glad you didn't edit it! Your videos are like taking a class. I love it. I have to say thought that LV has really ticked me off and I am leaning toward a Tory Burch bag next. Sadly, though.
You're videos are great! You are probably the most thorough, articulate you-tuber out there. :) Do you have any advice on authenticating a vintage bag? I just purchased a discontinued LV tote from the 80s and would like further verification.
At first sight I picked B due to the side exterior pockets were off on A and the overall form of B looked sharp. then the yellow stitching on the tab flap on A made me really look hard and saw that Louie Vuitton is never touched by the stitch, but dang the yellow! Once I saw the bottom of the B and had seen the "perfect" matching on A, I knew B was the real thing. Though the flowers did not meet to make one, the bottom pattern of the B looked better, "believable." You really did an outstanding job in finding the replica as good as that one!! Great video! :)
Thanks
Awesome video once again BJ! A bit off topic, but do you know if LV will ever come out with a Totally GM in the Damier Ebene print? Ahhh that would be my dream bag!
Holy cow!! I can not believe how real it looked!!
Love this bag! I have the MM, perfect size for me. I bought mine at the LV in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas in late 2010 so I know it is authentic and my date code tag is in the pocket on the side of the bag when the zipper is closed. I wonder if this a difference between the GM and the MM.
There's always your pet crossing over at the back! Lol. Btw, loving your vids!
Hello dear is the canvas of replica one slightly sticky ?
Please tell me where did you purchase the replica bag. Thank you!!!
What type of camera do you use to film ?
Which software did you use to edit and give that transition from video to video? Thanks for the video BTW.
hi bjtaylor! how are you? i was able to catch the fake on the stiching on the leaf n the texture of the bag.... i have 2 pieces not for a long time will they become soft n not as structured after years? well i want the totally mm but still thinking about it... thank u for your informative videos
Thank you so much for this video, it's great! Do you know if the "made in USA" rule follows through for all styles or only the totally? Thanks!
lovely compare and contrast. thanks for sharing
I love how she said at the end not to message her about the site of where the replica was from and there are so many messages asking......
Hello 👋 can you please tell me the measurements of the little leather flap on the side on the totally gm please. I bought a pre love on eBay and the flap looks a bit small. Thanks
Your videos are so informative!
So just to make sure I’m understanding correctly, authentic date code should be in outside pocket where zipper hangs when unzipped (open). Right?
Thanks for posting this! Wow, scary. You mention a slight plastic feel to the replica - is there a difference in the way that the canvas smells? I have seen replicas before and some of them definitely have a plastic or chemical smell.
thanks bj! this is very informative. It's kinda scary as to how good the replicas are - mostly the fact that the fakes can develop a patina now! I saw a neverful roses on fashionphile recently I think!
Omg where did you get the rep bag?
I could tell immediately when I saw the colour of stitching. Authentics always have pale yellow stitching and the replica had darker yellow. Also, the replica "R" heatstamp has the two legs of the R set too far apart, not close together like the authentic. However I agree it's pretty good alignment! Lol great comparison.
Thanks for another great, informative video! I think this is the main reason I haven't pulled the trigger and gone for a pre-loved bag - even though I would love to be able to save money. I don't have an LV store nearby and that makes authenticating impossible. Consciously buying a fake for a 10th of the price of the real thing is totally different than paying hundreds of dollars too much for a good fake when you thought it was authentic! Best to buy from the boutiques!
Hi bj! I love all your videos. I was tempting to purchase a totally mm and after watching this video i was pretty sure that it was original. Then I saw that the font of the datacode of the totally and the font of my palermo pm were different. Is it possible that they are different because of the year of manufacturing? The totally was made in 2009 and Imy palermo in 2012. What do u think? Thanks!
I picked the right bag as soon as I saw the font on the beige tags! This was fun...do another one!
Hi BJ, I love your videos. This is an awesome (albeit scary) comparison. One comment on Archie - I kind of lost respect for him when he mis-authenticated a very obviously fake Multipli-Cite - called it authentic. Therefore- I'm not sure I believe what he says about the artificially aged Japanese fakes - BUT, there are more and more fakes of all brands coming out of Japan, including present styles of LV.
Thanks so much for the video. So funny you should say that you're researching the Stephen Sprouse Rose collection. I'm also researching and finding it hard to find authentic, plus the price is outrageous. What do you think of the prices out there? Outrageous or reasonable?
where did you buy the replica?
Wow, so close. I was fooled due to bottom alignment.
I have a friend who also has a replica Totally and it looks as good as the one in the video - one thing to look for on the real vs fake Totally is on the outer pockets - LV does not cut off the little flowers like the replicas do - just thought this might help someone looking to buy per- loved. Love all your videos!
Whew. I guessed correctly, but only because I recall wondering why the bottom of the Totally GM I bought at the LV boutique 2 weeks ago was not perfectly aligned. I don't have the guts to buy pre-loved, even though I would love to acquire some discontinued pieces. Thanks for the eye-opening video.
Can I buy the replica?
Do the fake ones have leather that actually patinas?
Great video. I own a Totally MM purchased from an LV store and checked the alignment on the bottom of my bag. It's excellent. Was thinking maybe yours was due to it being the larger size and where the canvas was cut?
Just to check as I’ve just purchased a pre-loved Louis Vuitton totally GM, the key ring leather tab is missing from the interior lining (I saw other UA-camrs bags had it). And the exterior looked pretty aligned (it’s the Damier Azur print though). Not sure how to check whether it’s authentic. :( but it does feel like the real deal.
Thank you for your prompt reply. So basically if it is stamped made in USA it should be void of a cloth tag, and if not stamped USA then it should have the cloth tag. I get so confused looking at all the different versions of stamping and tags, be it USA or other places; there are so many versions. Thanks for clearing this up!
Thanks for making this excellent video! It's amazing and scary how good fakes have gotten. You really have to be so careful and educate yourself when purchasing on eBay or any other site for that matter.
which site did you get on?
I like the fake better ....
nina12345678917 me too
Hello
DO you have any info on why two LV bags, same style and size on the made in tag one will say Louis Vuitton Paris made in USA and the other will say Louis Vuitton Paris, both have the inside cloth made in USA tag; the bags are from two different production years. I have seen this several times on different styles. Is it normal for one stamp to say made in USA and the other not to?
Is GM the largest bag? I want one real or fake ,but want large size
Where did you get the replica one from?
I was totally fooled! I mean I've never seen a real LV in person but if I had to guess I thought bag A was the real one
yes me two! especially because the bottom of the A bag looked so much better in my opinion.
I thought the same thing (bag "A" was authentic) and I own 2 real ones purchased from LV!!! I do own some pretty decent replicas as well...no shame. I say do whatever is right for your budget :-)
Me three... I thought bag A was the authentic one!!!
Me too
Me too
I have owned so many LV speedy's but always end up selling them on ebay. Do you know if the person you purchased the replica has Speedy's. I also had having to pay the full price if I decided after a few months I don't want it anymore.
GREAT VIDEO bjtaylor! The fake one is very similar to the real one! UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you so much.
Wow. I completely agree with everything you've said. If you aren't inspecting it the way you did, you would not be able to tell. I was guessing both were authentic and replica each time you were showing to compare. Great job on comparing them!
Informative video! Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for uploading! Reeyaa from Sydney, Australia
It is possible that the code of that bag is not in the outside pocket instead it’s inside pocket but same position. ? My lv totally the code is inside pocket
Wow 😯 that’s almost exact! I have a number of LV bags and struggled with this one. Awesome comparison ❤️
Wow! That is a great replica! I can hardly see the difference unless we look at them side by side. It's scary especially when we buy preowned online...there's no way to tell.
where did you buy the replica from??
You have great videos and a very big collection of LV bags. I am thinking of bidding for a totally on ebay, but my husband is against it. Only reason why I want to get a pre-loved item is that I am tired of lack of customer service at the LV store and I feel the newer bags are not made so well. But other than the size of the fake bag and slight lighter color of the thread I would not know the difference from far away.
Thank you for the information Much appreciated 👍👍👍
Dang that's a good replica! The alignment got me !
Thank you for another great video. Even though the fakes are that good, you never ever feel good carrying one once you have owned the real thing. My 2 authentic LV's continue to please me, a fake will wane over time.
I want the Stephen Sprouse Roses too in both the Neverfull AND Speedy.
Where do u get replica?
Yes..The zipper, for me is always a tell tell sign.
WOW!!!!! this is one of the best REPS, where did u get it. Also, considering the REP IS A TENTH of the price. it's pretty scary, how close. Honestly, NOBODY will ask for the date code. and the BOTTOMS, on this one. And again, nobody will ask to inspect. THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO. Since you can buy NEW DUST BAGS, from LV.
I need to know who you baught that fake one from. I want to buy it!!!
Great video BJ. Very informative!
Awesome video very informative x
Yay I guessed right. It was definitely hard though. Scary, that's a good replica. Thanks for doing this video. I was thinking of finally buying a Neverfull as my first pre-loved but now I'm scared again. Yikes
Great video! It is crazy how close those bags look but I knew that first one was fake but it is a very good replica.. You are so spot on when you same you really have to do your research...
I think they are both fake! Date code is why I am saying that! Bag "B" is what I thought was real until I saw the bottom of the bag, and then the date code!
Bag B is the authentic purchased from LV at a TPF event. Thanks for watching :)
its interesting that many authentic lv bags dont match patterns at the bottoms or in seams. my authentic lv bag does not have matching patterns either. but fakes could do better
I have an authentic LV Totally MM and my date code is in the side pocket where the zipper closes which is the opposite of the claim in the video.
OMG!! During the first few minutes of your video I was already testing myself and I really thought that the "B" bag was the fake one...Boy they can really make them look authentic.If I were to part with my hard-earned money I'd rather buy from the LV store indeed rather than forever wondering if I have a fake one...:) Thanks for sharing bjtaylor...
Thanks for sharing... Sad and scary how close these two bags are, sort of takes away from having the luxury of a real one when there are so many fakes out there :(
Excellent review. Must admit, I thought I had to buy reps bc I thought I could not afford lv. However, when they broke, I couldn't afford not to.
Hi I am interested in purchasing a LV neverfull bag but don't want to pay so much. Do you recc a reputable site to buy a replica? I have also looked at the Michael Kors authentic bag but still don't like those as much as the LV neverfull. Any suggestions for me? I am afraid to just pick a random place off of the internet to buy a replica in case they are not legit
Oh wow, the fakers can do better bottom alignment than the LV crafters. Maybe LV should learn from the fakers on how to align the bottom better lol. I'm against fakes btw.
Lies u tell ...
where can someone purchase a replica?
Great video BJ! Its a very good Knock-Off.
I did something similar to you, I bought a replica and I have the real one. Just a quick glance it looks okay, but the canvas is very stiff and makes lots of noise. Great video. It's the only one I have seen on UA-cam with a side by side comparison.
Thanks for the video. I myself HATE fakes, that was the reason I was so hesitant to purchase Vuitton for a long time.. I am convinced, that it might not be much difference in appearance between a good fake and an authentic bag, but down the road you definitely get what you pay for... It's worth it!!
I was guessing on target till you showed the alignment of the bottom, then I questioned my choice. Interesting
Can you please pm me the contact info for where the replica is from? Thanks!!
Great video than other.. well explained.. thank you for the information..
do you have buy the replica totally??
I just bought a LV Totally at the thrift store and the tag it has on it says made in USA does that mean that I got a real one or fake one?
Check the date code, yes, it could be real. They do have a factory in California. Check the way the Os are pressed in the name. The Os will be perfectly round. The bottom part of the L will be short also.
Where can I buy the replica?????!!!!!???
Presley Olivas @lynettesfashion on instagram sells some high quality for great prices!
Go online and ask for AAA replica Louis Vuitton bag
great comparison! there are a lot that they call super high replica now, thats why i never buy from ebay or even from someone if they are not first owner and doesn't know their history...
Thanks BJ! This is further reason why I will not buy preloved. I just can't take the chance. I would rather cough up the cash. Not worth it to me. Another awesome review !!!
great video and so scary how good replicas are now!!!
I actually would of put money on the fake bag being the authentic and I consider myself 'in the know' with real vs fake- guess that made me second guess myself! Great video Bj!
Awesome replica great video !
Hi nice video... From where i buy that replica one??? ... How much is that one??
Hi Bj ! Im not sure where you are but I just found a neverful SS roses on CL SF bayarea. It looks good honey color already and made in USA. i really want it but the seller is asking $1700 way too much for me ! If I was going to spend that much I would use it towards the Artsy.
Once I saw the zipper of the fake one, I knew it was fake. Looking at the bag from the front, the zipper line is wavy (not straight horizontally). Great video as usual, thank you!!
I like this video and the fact they both were the same size was even more helpful. However, I was totally fooled myself!
Thank you for this. It's priceless.
WOW...awesome video...once again...YOU ROCK!!
