So what is the difference between real and fake Louis Vuitton Bags or Handbags?

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, although in the cause of the famous luxury Louis Vuitton brand of purses, this is not certainly the case.

While the arise of several imitators clearly indicates that the Louis Vuitton purses are THE brand to copy. This is an action that hurts both the customer and the original designer.

Luis Vuitton is synonym of elegance, class and luxury. Carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag is not only a symbol of wealth; it’s also a symbol of class, elegance and distinction. People who are seen with a Louis Vuitton purse are stating to the world “I have the money and the class.”

Made with the strictest of processes and quality standards, the Louis Vuitton brand meets the expectations of the strictest of clients. It is no wonder that it’s a brand sought by the rich and famous.

As with anything that has a high value and superb quality; the Louis Vuitton brand is heavily copied, imitated, and worst of all, stolen. Imitators and thieves look for a quick profit, taking advantage of the quality that has become synonymous with the brand, as well as the trust or lack of knowledge of potential victims.

Fake Louis Vuitton bags should not be confused with replicas. The difference being that replicas are sold as they are, that is, replicas. They are cheaper than real Louis Vuitton purses, and you know they are not the real thing, but you know it fully before you make your purchase, letting you make an informed decision. On the other hand, fake Louis Vuitton purses are tried to be sold as originals, with sellers trying to fool the client into buying a product of inferior quality of the one he or she thinks he’s buying.

There are a few tips however that will help you avoid being fooled by those selling fake Louis Vuitton Handbags

One of the first things you should know in order to assure yourself a proper purchase is to pay attention to where you purchase a Louis Vuitton purse. The class that is implied in the Louis Vuitton brand means that it won’t be sold at any store. Only the Louis Vuitton stores, in places where the rich and famous buy, will sell Louis Vuitton purses. They will definitely not be sold in booths on mall corridors or the like. And unless you’re friends with Meg Ryan and she wants to sell you her Louis Vuitton bag because she lost all her money in the stock market, there aren’t any individuals who officially sell Louis Vuitton handbags, and certainly not with authorization of the Louis Vuitton company.

Another tip off is price. Louis Vuitton purses are expensive, very expensive. We’re talking from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. They are not, under any circumstance, sold under priced, at a discount, on sale, 2 x 1, or in any type of promotion. They are not sold at a minor price because of some factory defect. If any purse shows the tiniest defect, it is just not sold.

So, pay attention to what and where you buy. If you want a cheaper replica, that’s ok too, but at least you know what you’re paying for.
