Learn how to pick out a fake Louis Vuitton Handbag!

Keeping up the Louis Vuitton Values

Louis Vuitton purses and handbags are among the most popular and most expensive bags for the rich and famous.  These bags have been sung about by great artists such as Gwen Steffani.  They are symbols of luxury and style, setting the standard for what is rich and famous.  They are also among some of the most commonly stolen, knockoff, and replicated purses and handbags on the illegal market.

The Louis Vuitton purses are made of the best materials possible.  They range in value from a few thousand to over $35,000 per single purse.  Their materials are brilliant and rare.  Their stones are genuine and expensive.  Their gold and silver clasps are real and well designed.  The stitch work on the purse is perfect and durable.  There is nothing on the purses and handbags that is anything less than perfect.

While most people sport smaller Louis Vuitton purses simply because the larger purses are too expensive, there are those who where the larger purses as well.  Oftentimes, these purses are borrowed from the collection or are sported by the most powerful women in show business or politics.  There is a beauty that is added to any outfit with the appropriate Louis Vuitton purse that simply cannot be passed up by those who have the money to afford the purses.

Because of the costs of the original purses, the replica and knockoff purses can also be very expensive.  This is why the purses and handbags are replicated after all, to turn a high profit by illegal dealers of the purses.  These replicas do not have the high quality materials or manufacturing processes of the authentic Louis Vuitton and do not carry the warranties that these purses typically carry.  There is not guarantee of satisfaction with knockoff and replicated purses.

Most Louis Vuitton purses and handbags are made out of the most expensive materials such as Boa and Crocodile skins that have been dyed to the designer’s specifications.  Other materials include lambskin and camel skin leather.  These are also dyed to match the desired colors.  All of these materials are very expensive and therefore cannot be used in creating replica pieces.  Instead, the replica pieces are made from pleather and vinyl to come up with similar looks and feels.

LV purses and handbags are designed so that the stitching is done with absolute perfection.  There are no loose threads and no loose ends on the authentic Louis Vuitton purses, even on those that have experienced wear and tear.  On those replicated purses, the chances of this are far less likely and the durability of the stitching is suspect.  This is because it is very expensive to have the stitching done to the tight specifications that Louis Vuitton enjoys.

Louis Vuitton purses all offer the best logo and artwork clarity.  These artworks and logos can be very difficult for knockoff dealers to get right and often are fuzzy or missing.  This is a good indicator that the purse may be a knockoff or a replica if the purse does not have markings or the markings are unclear.

Louis Vuitton purses are quite expensive.  The Louis Vuitton replica and knockoff purses are also expensive, although often no where near as expensive as the authentic purses.  An example of this would be to take the $35,000 purse by Louis Vuitton.  Replicate purses of the same style may sell for $350.  This is a 99% drop in price and that is not the norm in retail.  There is never a desire to simply give the product away.  If the sale sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

Louis Vuitton purses are only sold in a small number of stores around the world and on the Louis Vuitton website.  Although it is possible to purchase such purses at second hand sales, they are not typically purses that anyone gets rid of.  There are no authorized dealers of these purses who do not own expensive stores or that sells the product in open air markets.  There are also no authorized dealers selling the products in purse parties.

If one suspects that someone may be selling knockoff or replica Louis Vuitton purses, one should contact the authorities and the Louis Vuitton manufacturers and designer.  Often times, acts of such are rewarded by money or by the products themselves, making for a win-win situation for those who did the right thing and turned in thieves of these great purses.
