  • Fake vs Real LV | $300 vs $3500- Save or Splurge? | How to spot a fake Louis Vuitton |
    Hi everyone,
    We're back with a new video today and here's hoping you find it entertaining and informative.
    In this video, we compare a real Louis Vuitton with a replica and let you know easy ways to ensure you get your money's worth when you actually buy one.
    EDIT: The bag is made of canvas not leather. We didn't realize while recording the video. Apologies for the same!!
    Hope you enjoy this video and stay tuned for more.
    Lots of love to all! xx

    I used to get those fakes for $50. I didn't care that they weren't exact. It was the same look and I would never spend thousands for any bag.

      If you had a business and someone sold replicas & fakes of your products, would you like people to buy them. I bet no . There are supper affordable brands that sell good bags. This like identity theft, you’re supporting these counterfeits who steal people’s hard work.

    Thank you for sharing guys but personally I think ppl who buys original or copy has their own reasons. So why dont we just let them be happy with their personal choices ya .. me personally would rather save and get an original ones but who are we to judge if others are just as happy getting the copy ones right ? At the end of the day as long as the wearer are happy with their purchases then hooray ! 😊

      Only, when someone buy fake items means that person bought "stolen" item from people who did crime by faking other people's product . How to be happy buying "stolen" products? How can it be nice to be a fake person wearing fake items? Those people who now have their brands become so famous worldwide, had very difficult journey to be like now. Unlike young people now who make their brands famous only by creating weird tiktok or UA-cam videos. If we have 300 usd, why not buy bag from a brand that giving us authentic product with that amount of money? But yes some people love to be fake.

    Because of vids like this, the replica bag has improved tremendously. I have authentic LV bags but purchased a replica of this bag. My replica has all of the things you pointed out on the original, the lighter/dark stitching is on the correct sides. I put this bag side by side with my friend’s bag (original)she couldn’t tell the difference. I no longer buy original, I use my private seller 😊

      I used to think the same way and thought I should only buy real leather purses from Louis Vuitton such as their Epi bag instead of the monogram. However, I’ve noticed that my real LV monogram canvas purses are very durable and will most likely last me a lifetime since I’ve had one of my purses for over 20 years and others about 15, 10 and 5 years. Every time I bought a hood fake, the purse fell apart within a couple of weeks or lasted no longer than six months. Louis Vuitton’s Monogram canvas was originally created for LV travel bags and suitcases so they are very durable compared to many fake LVs. So, I think a real LV is a better investment since it will last you a lifetime with proper care or you can resell; however, you can’t resell fake LV purses since they fall apart within weeks unless you are lucky if they last up to 6 months.

      "I love a good *esluxscom* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!

This friend had the same handbag and disclosed to me that it was a fake. I was floored and haven't purchased a high-end handbag since, I asked her and found out that she bought it from *condupcom* ,Modern replicas are increasingly crafted to a level that closely resembles the original in appearance and quality.

      . But i tell you i do not understand why people put so much effort in a bag. When the world has serious problem. I see it like this is that bag going to pay bill or anything of important. And with so many fakes out there who really cares what a person carry's for a purse. unless they are very shallow person. Most people with money do not even carry Louis Vuitton. They carry bags that are not so gaudy. A classic elegance . I live in a 5000 square foot house and a very nice care I like seeing my money grow in the bank. Not on a purse. That most people by and dont hardly have a dime to there name. And have no investment or anything.People are very shallow nowadays trying to impress when know one really cares.

      Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxscom* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.

Nice original Dooney or Coach makes me feel good, fake chanel makes me feel low. It's like buy Toyota and glue on Lexus logo. All point is to have valuable items, not cheap trash looking like high end. I think some people just like to pretend not to actually be. LV overcharging for cheap material, Dooney making high quality leather for fair price.

    Thank you, for sharing such insightful information. But, in my opinion, it is not a deal-breaker that the faux bag doesn't stand up on its own, because once someone puts their personal items inside the satchel it'll stand up just fine due to the weight. And, I really like that the imitation bag is made of genuine leather (no matter if it's lambskin, sheepskin, or cowhide) because that means it will last for an exceptionally long time if taken care of properly. I like the fact that the faux bag's designer print is marvelously similar to the real LV. The fact that the thread stitching isn't like the real LV can be an issue if one is in close proximity to others that can differentiate between an authentic and unauthentic LV... I didn't perceive that the LV logo on the front of the fake bag wasn't correctly stamped as you mentioned, as it appeared just fine from my point of view... I like that the inside of the faux bag is made well and is the correct color match. Overall, in my opinion, if someone couldn't afford a genuine LV, well then, the faux LV is a smart substitute as many people often fake it until they make it... However, beware, as not all faux bags are created with great care. Yet, if one can afford to purchase an authentic LV bag, well then, certainly do it as that would be an intelligent investment since it has great resale value. Additionally, an authentic LV bag is manufactured exceptionally well since it is the best quality that's made from the finest materials. It's made to last for decades. An LV bag (or any haute couture designer brand) reveals status and triggers confidence. Moreover, most people that carry an attractive (or beautiful) luxurious authentic handbag (no matter if they are aware or unaware) signal to others, I'VE ARRIVED; and that's important to some people. 💅

    The real question is, would you buy this fir $35? Good replicas are made from quality material and often in the same factories that can be spot on for less than $60. Not China Town stuff they slap together like this video. This was a bad comparison with a cheaply made made. Additionally, some of us can afford real bags 10x over but are slowly finding out they are mass produced in factories THEN shipped to France etc to put the logos on them. Even big brands can partake in trafficking and shady black market practices. I just got a Chanel for $40 and compared it to my besties, spot on! Plus, each series changes and even luxury brands are cutting on quality to save coins.

      To be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *esluxscom* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do

    It's NOT leather, it's resin coated canvas with minimum leather trim. Many people believe that these bags are made of leather, wrong ! The 'fabric' costs almost nothing, comes in huge rolls, is digitally printed.

    I wouldn't even give thirty for the fake one... Another place to find the fakes & even counterfeit bags is at cruise ports, the last cruise we took, one shop in particular... Uff-da for the counterfeits, both bags & SLGs in nearly all of the 'popular brands'. I saw piles of LV, Chanel, Gucci, & a few more but yes, they were all fake. We're going on another cruise soon so it will be fun to see what I find at the shops at each port. I love my Coach bags & with the exception of two that I got 'pre-loved' (one on eBay & the other on Facebook marketplace), I buy them at the outlet store so I know that for the money I'm spending, I'm getting the 'real' item.

    To be fair about holding shape, my Neverful GM came folded in a box, and still today, three years later it will not hold its shape. Honestly, I'm kinda mad they deformed my bag instead of using a proper large box. Same with my one-year-old Graceful MM, it came in a smaller box and it too has a folded shape to it. I asked for a bigger box and they gave me one, but the damage is already done.
    Plus, the LV bags will have a nice buttery feel to them with a nice sheen. Fakes feel like rubber and are dull.
    Not all monogram bags will have the same tint of yellow in the monogram. That can depend on the humidity in the air, the thickness of the press, the country that makes it, and the drying time. Fact: If a wallet and bag are not printed from the same batch, it will be hard to get a perfect match. I waited through several store deliveries to get the closet match for my Graceful and it still wasn't perfect.

The second time, I was trying to board a bus and a group of thieves pressed against me. I love quality handbags and beautiful craftmanship, but in some places it is not practical to carry an authentic, expensive handbag.

I mean, you will find popular name brands like Burberry; Prada; Fendi, Dior etc. but not LV.

After all it’s just a handbag to carry your items in, nothing more or nothing less. I think and I said think because I have been involved in some heated discussions regarding this, the problem why so many authentic LV carriers have such a strong negative opinion about fake LV bags carriers is that if it’s a very good replica by the seeing eye you can’t tell the difference.

They take months to complete the customer service check then they will send your products to another store or another country...
