I can tell you it is nearly impossible to get a real Louis Vuitton handbag to resell- you can get some vintage handbags to resell, but watch out because chances are you will be buying a really good Chinese imitation. Designer Handbags by Louis Vuitton are one of the most copied Luxury brands in the world. If a site claims that they carry authentic Louis Vuitton, its most likely a Louis Vuitton designer handbag scam.

I bet you didn’t know that there is only one authorized store online that sells authentic Louis Vuitton handbags? Yup, ONE! Any new Louis Vuitton handbag you try to buy online that is discounted or cheaper than on their retail site, eLuxury, is most likely a very high-quality knock-off.
Louis Vuitton, the company is one of the most trusted designer brands, and they have very strict guidelines on their designs and quality. Here’s how you recognize an authentic from a fake.
If you’re buying a Louis Vuitton Handbag in person, then you can only buy a new original bag in their own authorized stores and Neiman Marcus. If you are trying to buy one elsewhere it is very possible that it is not authentic.
Start by visiting the Louis Vuitton website as products available at their website are identifyed by detailed specification. You should also see the lining of the material and color combination used by Louis Vuitton for manufacturing the desired handbags. Louis Vuitton is very specific about selecting color combinations for the handbags and the details of color you can see at the website. If you can identify the correct color associated with a specific product, you probably can identify whether the product is fake or genuine.
Original Louis Vuitton bags are numbered by style, there is a number inside the handbag on a leather tag, usually on the D-Ring. Another great thing to look for is that real LV’s only use oxidizing leather on the trim of their bags. Also the logo pattern on all Louis Vuitton handbags will match when the seam comes together, if you see one where the seam does not match, it is fake. Also the stitching on their bags are perfect, they do not release any bags with imperfections at all, they are destroyed.
Louis Vuitton handbags come with an excellent stitching condition. Louis Vuitton is particular about stitching and almost same number of stitches is used under similar bags. Louis Vuitton also follows the stitching pattern for making handbags and for similar models same pattern of handle attachments and monograms attachment is made. In original Louis Vuitton handbags, you may not see any patch or stitching malfunction on either side of the bag. You should also see the inside stitching malfunction and you can easily identify a fake handbags especially if you see the stitching irregularity inside the handbag. Louis Vuitton also uses a single piece of leather for manufacturing handbags and if you see some cut marks on the handbag, it may be one of the fake handbags.
Check for handles wrapped in plastic and/or hardware wrapped in tissue. Many times, authentic Louis Vuitton handbags will have handles made out of genuine rolled cowhide and they will NOT be wrapped in any kind of plastic or bubble wrap. If you see this on an item, it is a fake.
Finally, beware of a price that seems “too good to be true”. With Louis Vuitton, you get what you pay for. An original Louis Vuitton handbag can last a lifetime- a replica won’t.
