I’ve been recently buying superfakes because, in spite of the price increases, the models that I like are getting sold out. And many of the people working at the boutiques are just rude and condescending, so I don’t wanna deal with that nonsense.
@@nora4981 there is a whole reddit community about it! A lot of people who would usually strictly buy authentic say they’re starting to get into reps because LV quality is starting to get worse but the prices are continuing to increase. I seen someone do a comparison on a rep and auth NF bought and used for the same amount of time and the auth was wrinkling more than the rep.
The *preluxscom* canvas tote bag actually reminds me of Hermes Garden Party, too. Thanks for making this video on suggesting more budget friendly alternatives. Love it
If you’re looking for something to last for many years and possibly be handed down or regifted, it should be genuine something that is a fake fake means inexpensive material. It will fall apart and it will not endure for a long time
I have 7 LV bags, wallets and key purse which I purchased many years ago. Although there’s no doubt that they’re all authentic ( bought half of them in France and half in Tokyo), I re-visited my items and checked the codes, symmetry etc. and I’m happy to say that they’re all “ genuine’.
I agree with you about the zippers. You see a lot of RUclipsrs raving about the zips on the regular canvas bags saying they're so smooth and zip up "like butter"! But I don't agree! The zippers aren't bad, but they could be a lot better! Especially for the money we're paying. 😒
This was so informative and great! I bought my first Louis Vuitton bag in December 7, 2020 at the Cesar palace hotel forum shop the Louis Vuitton store the V totte MM bag and wallet. The quality is unmatched. And the service was great, even the recite was well made, Lol. Thanks for the video and information. There are allot of counterfeit bags out there but nothing compares to the real thing! This is my new bag. And worth the price!.
You are such a wonderful person. I appreciate you not judging anyone if they prefer replicas for whatever reason and that it’s all about whatever makes you happy. More power to you.
I love that you don’t judge the people that buy fakes. I find people that claimed to be appalled about factories in China to be hypocritical . Those are the same people that have an iPhone, iPad, Galaxy phone ext. and won’t think twice about the parts that are made in factories in China among many other goods that we all enjoy. Yet it’s only a problem when when it comes to replicas.
"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!
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the LYXBAGS book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I personally don't buy replicas, but I love that you have said a few times in this video that we should just enjoy the bags we purchase - whether genuine or a replica. Loved watching your video!
Well done! Really helpful for those of us who care. It's also important to help people who are taken advantage of or scammed. Deceit and criminal activity should not be tolerated by anyone!
But the truth is who is going to scrutinize your bag like this. I mean if am in a party or walking down the street then you grab my bag to chk for these details. I judge the real and the fake by looking at who is carrying the *esluxscom* . If they dress the part then it must be real. What can I say.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulux* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations ❤
Thank you! I learned a lot from you tonight...I bought a pre-owned bag for $500 and I was pretty sure it was real but tonight you just confirmed that for me that it is real...mine was made in February 2005...I have the speedy...it’s old but it’s in great condition and at least I own a real one 😂❤️🙌🏼 I could never afford a brand new one so I’m happy...❤️
It's so annoying when people question the authenticity of your bags. One of my (annoying) colleagues said to me once "Oh, I like your bag. Is it a knock off?"...... It just shows their lack of knowledge of the brand if they can't even tell whether the bag is real. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing x
Yuenny Lam Girl!! I'm a high school math teacher and my husband is a SFC in the Army I think we have more to worry about than educating ourselves on the authenticity of LV bags if I bought it in store I ain't inspecting it because I know where I bought it and if I bought it on the streets it's because I used the money I saved to pay for school supplies for my students who are underprivileged..
So what if they "lack knowledge" of a brand/bag????? Its seriously not that deep....I'm a lv collector and don't expect others to have full knowledge of what I personally like. To expect that is borderline laughable. It's like me expecting You to know whether my Arabia pottery set is authentic. I live out in the country and people always assume my bags are fake but it doesn't bother me at all because I love my little collection regardless of comments. I don't think the lack of knowledge is the real issue with your colleague here....
Yuenny Lam well some people are just not so much in to bags so she most likely didn’t mean anything by asking if it a knock off. She might have though it’s silly to spend so much on a bag. Some are collectors and some have no interests. I have a real Louis but I would not care if it was fake. Not a big deal to me. LA
The *esluxs* looks still good and 1/10 the price of real one. So many people will choose fake. Since during u walk in mall or on the street no1 will stop u and check ur bag from 5cm distance to see these differences. These differences are mostly impossible to see from more than 1-2m away. And be honest. 95% of these people buy these stuffs only to pretend fancy,rich during a walk
Very informative. Of all the videos I’ve watch researching about this topic, your video has been the most complete and full of information. Keep up your excellent work. Thank you very much! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Also if you apply a tiny bit of chapstick or zipper wax/candle wax onto the zipper while it is closed. It will make the zipper work waaay better. 😉 I put chapstick on all my zippers. It makes them work phenomal..
I might try this because my LV bag can't close anymore after my daughter borrowed from me, I went to LV store and they said going to cost me $250 for fixed the them 🙄🙄
I'm very happy with the HIDUPZ package. Beautiful storage compartments. Looks and feels like leather. The shoulder straps and zipper are of high quality. Very happy with the purchase.
Great video! I too am an LV collector, and like yourself, I love the quality, pristine detail, and long term wearability. My first messenger was purchased in 2003, the Bosphore PM and it's still going strong in 2019 and looking beautiful. I have probably some 25 pieces in my collection from messenger bags both canvas and leather, wallets, belts etc. Your very knowledgeable and have such screen presence and just delightful to watch. Like you I can spot a fake really quickly but also agree...LOVE YOUR BAG whether it's fake or real and mostly...ENJOY it.
I’m glad I’ve listened to your speech about real genuine Louis Vuitton. Like you, I’ve got loads of Vuitton bags all real and genuine but I find very interesting to spot the real and fake bags.
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *esluxscom* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
And the stitching one her 25mm one is different from another yt vid, the other one had stitches going across below the screw (?), not above, and the other ytber said it should have 5 stitches. Could anyone explain this?
LOVE how you are sharing your knowledge with us! I'm planning to by a used ones cuz I'm a huge vintage lover and like the older models more but I'm a bit scared to get scammed. This is really helpful
Check poshmark or LXR and co... use my code on posh and get a couple free bucks 🤷🏽♀️.... they authenticate anything over $500!.... Join me on Poshmark, my favorite app to buy & sell fashion. Save up to 70% off top brands! For a limited time, use my code BEEKAY82 to save $10: posh.mk/Gqfl0VGqp3
I think what matters is... Are the *esluxs* of good quality? Are they made from the same materials as the originals? If they are I hope the site never fails.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *amzrepe* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Hi Emma, I really like your attitude re some people don't care if it's THE real thing & just like the looks, so they opt to get a fake. Like you, I appreciate the workmanship of the bags & each bag is made with pride, with impeccable quality. It's refreshing knowing there are women out there who appreciates the workmanship & thus carry the real thing, yet are NOT snobs. Manny women carry them just so can brag about it to their friends, which frankly that is the reason I kind of stay away from LV even though I really like them. Love to have people like you as friends. All the best.
That's why I'm so scared to buy a 3rd party without touching and smelling it. Yes, I totally see the difference. I’m glad your video is on RUclips and it’s bringing awareness to this. People have different opinions on the issue of luxury goods, but it mainly depends on one's own ability and not excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. In comparison, I prefer to choose *esluxs*
Hey I bought a speedy 25 in store and 6 months later I was watching your video and panicked because you said about the symmetry at both sides of the zip. Mines isn’t completely symmetrical I went back to Louis Vuitton and they sent it to France for it to be checked as I wasn’t happy at all. The head of quality control sent me a letter to say that there’s nothing wrong with my bag, it’s a hand stitched piece and it doesn’t necessarily have to completely match x x
No matter if it's the *esluxs* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
Love your channel and your style! Retirement has reduced my spending, but it hasn't changed my style! Because I chose H Q D UPS ha! Thank you for another great video!!
Wow, I’ve never thought about purchasing or owning a Louis Vuitton but with this video at least I can spot those that are real or not and then if I ever decide to purchase one, I’ll know what to look for. Thank you.
Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *esluxs* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.
I loved this! So helpful! I just bought a LV Speedy and this helped so much on me making the decision to buy it. Everything matched up to your signs that the bag is real!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *esluxs* now myself.
I would love to have you show\ compare the real LV vs. a fake so I could get a good visual. Thank you for a great video! I had a friend show me her “real” LV Speedy and immediately noticed the handles going right through the LV logo.
It is really a hot video! I am a big vintage lover and LV lover, so I can see what is fake and I saw a lot of fakes! I need to mention *esluxs* was not bad made fake someone tried hard.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *yutulu* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
@@Divinely_Delicious ...I would not buy simply because of the "principle". If a seller advertises anything as "Original" then I EXPECT "Original"! And if a seller says "Great Fake", I appreciate that too. But, don't try to "scam" me.
@@Myeyeofthebeholder Really? I purchased a preloved $5,000 Chloe python sachel handbag for $350...can't easily do a good job faking that! Yes, I'd rather buy a lightly used designer bag than spend 3 times as much on brand new bag from LV store. Still have it after 5 years...gorgeous!
I’m not sure why I watched this except I really like your voice and I like seeing wear over time. Lol. I don’t care what the owner looks like I automatically assume every person carrying LV is carrying a replica. It doesn’t matter how “authentic” it looks. So thanks for the education on this.
Wow! I love this very in depth information. I never knew about the dustbags having a tag at all. I quickly checked my preloved slg ‘cos it didn’t came with a receipt and i’m so paranoid 🤣. I’m so relieved now. 😊 thanks. New subbie here🙌🏼
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the HIDUPZ leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Thank you for the great tips. And what a relaxed view on counterfits, I do like that. But at the same time, fakes don't come from nowhere. I kind of wish people made decisions from a more informed point of view I guess, that giving money to fake business might mean you give money to illegal business that do more illegal stuff than simply bags. I'd hate to think any of my consumer money ending up supporting trafficking etc. Of course, it's almost impossible to make sure you're an ethical consumer, but we can try. And of course people might not be able to afford the big brands (like me, hey), and not wanting to get a decent quality non-brand bag etc. But I think people should get fake things knowing in the back of their minds what kind of businesses they might be supporting, at least.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *hqluxy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
Wow! I am so happy that I watch this before committing to buy from a seller in ebay and upon checking, hers was fake because I count the stitching of the handle just what you mentioned. Omg! There are a lot of fakes out there... also I went to Louis Vuitton’s website and the same number of stitching in there speedy 30.. thank you for this video!🙏🏻 I would have waste my money. I’d like to buy a preloved Louis Vuitton just because I cannot afford to go to the LV store.
I'm looking in eBay now can you tell me which lady because I'm really not sure if I should purchase from her.. at least the state she was coming from or something
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this ”REAL ” LV or Dupe.. but for me I am enjoying it my dupe LV because I am living in own means and frankly speaking I can not afford ”Luxury” stuff like these. Plus the FACT that I have a family to feed that’s the most important. but yeah I am happy and feel in love with it. Who cares?!🤷🏻♀️ if I am wearing dupe bags as long as I am NOT harming other people. 😂😂
i purchased a fake LV from ebay with real packaging one year for Christmas. It was the patent leather candy apple red Alma MM (or the largest size). It was sold out everywhere and my girlfriend at the time really wanted it. I didn't know anything about handbags and I saw it on ebay with the brown packaging as I already had belts, travel case etc during that time and all had the thick brown case. I actually spend $300+ more than the price just to get the exclusive bag/color combo.
Interesting tip. Regarding the receipt. I kept the original and I also ask my associate to send the copy of my receipt to my email address and she’s nice enough to do it for me. I have 3 LV bags and 6 small leather goods that I bought here in Spain where all were made in France though
Thank you for the video. Very informative. I am on the lookout for a preloved bag and trying to gather as much info to avoid buying a fake. There are so many fakes in Asia unfortunately. Personally, i do not condone anything fake. If i cannot afford to buy it, i will not buy it. Love from Singapore.
I dunno, I really love my Ainifeel Garden Party knockoffs from Amazon. I have 5 and just don't think the price Hermés charges for an authentic Garden Party is worth it to ME. I use my fakes for everyday and save my Birkin 35 for special outings when I don't want to be seen with a fake. No one at the grocery store knows a Garden party from a grocery sack.....which btw, I actually have carried as my purse, back in the day. At some events I attend everyone has authentic designer bags.....so naturally a Birkin trumps all other bags in the room. I know.....so shallow of me. :)
Fabulous video... I figured - id have heard everything you've said. However you really taught me things idk and I own several of these bags..😂😂😂😂 Everything you said about the semitry idk and found it soo fascinating. I knew in the 80s? They redid the monogram and made the 1 line always end on the same. However idk the diagnol thing would end on same.😍 But, I noticed my bags all line up exatly like you mentioned even on the zipper like you also mentioned. Idk any of this info..lol Great video. Very informative. I think lv bags are soo addictive. The leather is soo amazing and 1 of a kind. Ive never purchased one brand new bag though.😕 (someday😉) Id love to own a brand new one cos I buy off preloved for better deals. Sumday I will buy a brand new one and make my own petina on it. Again fabulous video gorgeous. Thank you im totally subscribing..
I really the way you explained everything and how you said if you enjoy bags even fake ones just go for it, hahahaha, I never really paid any particular attention to LV, and I know how expensive they are, until someone gave me "one". Gave me a wallet, I had no idea, what was fake and not, now I do hahahahaha
The word fake is provocative, i swear i can hardly see a difference in my lv bags comparing to my friends i stayed hours seeing the difference even the code they have one and they have sworn that its fake and it is bc they have got it got like 50 -100$ + leather and dust bag and everything even the tags , it’s like made from Louis Vuitton but selled else where it’s crazy that’s why i praise having fake bc u get much cheaper for the same quality and i swear it’s been 8 years with her the purse haven’t showed any signs of torns and tear and the leather even better than mine the “authentic” it’s crazy how some companies can be Aaaaa+ and still today there is no difference and i even tried the technique you promoted in the video and still same. And that’s satisfying my friends can still sit there on a table feeling comfortable to put their bags for everyone to see bc trust me people would trash talk and now everyone thinks their like rich. Period lol
I always buy LV bags that are from the 90's. The bags I have bought in store from 2010-2016 are not as good quality, specially the ones that I have used a lot.
So right! I prefer preowned LV bags at least 15 years old, because the newer bags lack the longevity. That's just how it is nowadays with just about everything...
Just a note to say vintage French Company Speedies will have a split in the canvas on the bottom with the LVs going the proper direction on both sides. They are stunning in my opinion.
This is a great video! Very good for new bag collectors like myself. I was thinking though I wonder if the reason fakes are getting better and better is because videos are being made showing all the details of the legit bags?
I have serious issues with people knocking fakes so you are a breath of fresh air. I have just watched another person authenticating a bag and she says they have 5 stitches across the handle area, where you show 4 and they almost the same style, which is correct? The code, does it refer to weeks and year or months and year both can not be right? I've seen both being referred to in various videos.
Considering that lv has made small changes to some of there bags for example the speedy stitching on the handle now goes over the gold thing like shown in your video however before it never use too
I have a speedy 25 from the 80s made in the untied states and they are not made the same. I only mention it bc I was not sure if you were aware. Mine has a split in the bottom and all lvs are right side up
Got my first LV Doctors bag in 77. A graduation from HS gift. I had a very indulgent godmother. I started college that Fall & there were two very cosmopolitan sisters who had lived in Europe. Their dad was in oil/geology. Right away they told me the fakes out there were too good to spend money on the real thing. Fakes? I didn’t even know there were such beasts.
Hai emma, i bought a speedy bandouliere made in France at LV store 3 months ago. The date code LA 0129 . And the initial LA represents made in USA. So, I'm wondering why the country code and the made in hot stamp do not match. It this normal? Oh ye, on the handle bag little bit wrinkled not really smooth. Is this normal? Thankyou
I love how you aren't snobby about it. You just show things for people to pay attention to it if they care enough. I love your attitude. "I don't see anything wrong if it makes you happy "😊

I loved the first thing you said... That means enjoy what you have and don’t find out ways to get upset 👸🏻❤️
Ended up here randomly, but I think you are probably the best person to do this video.
You should look at some of these AAA replicas now a days. They literally have all the qualities and dimensions you mentioned here.
Thanks for this video. It was very well done and your enthusiasm is infectious.
Much appreciated..
I was under the impression there was a minimum of about 7 stitches p/i.
Thank you for the clarity.
And the stitching one her 25mm one is different from another yt vid, the other one had stitches going across below the screw (?), not above, and the other ytber said it should have 5 stitches. Could anyone explain this?
LOVE how you are sharing your knowledge with us! I'm planning to by a used ones cuz I'm a huge vintage lover and like the older models more but I'm a bit scared to get scammed. This is really helpful

I think what matters is... Are the *esluxs* of good quality? Are they made from the same materials as the originals? If they are I hope the site never fails.
I still love my LV reverse monogram *amzrepe* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Hi Emma, I really like your attitude re some people don't care if it's THE real thing & just like the looks, so they opt to get a fake. Like you, I appreciate the workmanship of the bags & each bag is made with pride, with impeccable quality. It's refreshing knowing there are women out there who appreciates the workmanship & thus carry the real thing, yet are NOT snobs. Manny women carry them just so can brag about it to their friends, which frankly that is the reason I kind of stay away from LV even though I really like them. Love to have people like you as friends. All the best.
That's why I'm so scared to buy a 3rd party without touching and smelling it. Yes, I totally see the difference. I’m glad your video is on RUclips and it’s bringing awareness to this. People have different opinions on the issue of luxury goods, but it mainly depends on one's own ability and not excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. In comparison, I prefer to choose *esluxs*
Hey I bought a speedy 25 in store and 6 months later I was watching your video and panicked because you said about the symmetry at both sides of the zip. Mines isn’t completely symmetrical I went back to Louis Vuitton and they sent it to France for it to be checked as I wasn’t happy at all. The head of quality control sent me a letter to say that there’s nothing wrong with my bag, it’s a hand stitched piece and it doesn’t necessarily have to completely match x x
What is the bag called with the v in gold v on the front called
When quality counts... I’ve had Louis pieces that travel the world with me and hold up to horrendous conditions. So it’s got to be real. 🖤
No matter if it's the *esluxs* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
The variety of textures in the *topluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Love your channel and your style! Retirement has reduced my spending, but it hasn't changed my style! Because I chose H Q D UPS ha! Thank you for another great video!!
Wow, I’ve never thought about purchasing or owning a Louis Vuitton but with this video at least I can spot those that are real or not and then if I ever decide to purchase one, I’ll know what to look for. Thank you.
Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *esluxs* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.
I loved this! So helpful! I just bought a LV Speedy and this helped so much on me making the decision to buy it.
Everything matched up to your signs that the bag is real!
Hmm I think it's good for people who want a taste of designer that can't afford the designer prices. LV, Gucci etc aren't gonna be short of a penny & it's not like they're missing out in the way that it's snatching custom as the people buying those products if taken away aren't necessarily gonna go buy the designer ones. I'm actually going to go have a look at that *esluxs* now myself.
I would love to have you show\ compare the real LV vs. a fake so I could get a good visual. Thank you for a great video! I had a friend show me her “real” LV Speedy and immediately noticed the handles going right through the LV logo.
This video is perfect for a beginner LV collector, thank you! You're so sweet!
thank you xx
I love fake rep as long is durable to use now I can afford to buy my house.
It is really a hot video! I am a big vintage lover and LV lover, so I can see what is fake and I saw a lot of fakes! I need to mention *esluxs* was not bad made fake someone tried hard.
This is so helpful! I am new to the luxury bags, and want to make sure I know what I’m doing before purchasing. Thank you!
HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *yutulu* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *yutulu*!
This is the best review I’ve ever seen! Very detailed and informative! Bravo!
Thank you so much 😊xx
I love the coat you're wearing! It matches my DUPBAGY bag perfectly!
She said you might be watching this because your bored
Me: yep
Me too. Lol.
Absolutely adorable Emma! Commendable presentation as well dear lol!
Thanks for sharing. eBay is full of sellers that have fake receipts with their LV bags.watch out ladies, the super fakes are really good.
so true. I think I would struggle to buy anything without actually seeing it in person first
Hell I’ll buy them if they look that good lol shoot 1000 in my pockets
@@Divinely_Delicious ...I would not buy simply because of the "principle". If a seller advertises anything as "Original" then I EXPECT "Original"! And if a seller says "Great Fake", I appreciate that too. But, don't try to "scam" me.
@@forreal245 honestly if they are selling a 3000$ bag for 400.... Then i think common sence should tell you its not real
@@Myeyeofthebeholder Really? I purchased a preloved $5,000 Chloe python sachel handbag for $350...can't easily do a good job faking that! Yes, I'd rather buy a lightly used designer bag than spend 3 times as much on brand new bag from LV store. Still have it after 5 years...gorgeous!
I’m not sure why I watched this except I really like your voice and I like seeing wear over time. Lol. I don’t care what the owner looks like I automatically assume every person carrying LV is carrying a replica. It doesn’t matter how “authentic” it looks. So thanks for the education on this.
Wow! I love this very in depth information. I never knew about the dustbags having a tag at all. I quickly checked my preloved slg ‘cos it didn’t came with a receipt and i’m so paranoid 🤣. I’m so relieved now. 😊 thanks. New subbie here🙌🏼
And YES, The HIDUPZ Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
Love your attitude about the real and fake.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the HIDUPZ leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Love the bags BUT I'M NOT DOING ALL THAT FOR A BAG ! I CHANGE BAGS TO OFFER TO CARE BUT LOVE THE DETAIL VIDEO👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the lyxbag bag !
Thank you for the great tips. And what a relaxed view on counterfits, I do like that. But at the same time, fakes don't come from nowhere. I kind of wish people made decisions from a more informed point of view I guess, that giving money to fake business might mean you give money to illegal business that do more illegal stuff than simply bags. I'd hate to think any of my consumer money ending up supporting trafficking etc. Of course, it's almost impossible to make sure you're an ethical consumer, but we can try. And of course people might not be able to afford the big brands (like me, hey), and not wanting to get a decent quality non-brand bag etc. But I think people should get fake things knowing in the back of their minds what kind of businesses they might be supporting, at least.
For the Zippers that are not smooth, I put a little wax on the zipper, i use wax that you melt to make the house smell good, Great video thank you
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *amzrepe* !
Emma what a wonderful video! Enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you.
Authentic LV from the 80's, and early 2000's (2006) is better quality. Nice video!!!
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the HIDUPZ bag !
I don’t care if it’s real or fake. I can pretend I have a designer bag lol. 😂
As long as the replica price is right!!!
clown
We are all entitled to our opinions.
Crystal Daughter of the Sun hahahahaha
Makendu imagine paying retail price for the con of luxury brands 🤡
Thanks for the wonderful and informative tips! You are smashing!! Love everything about this video!
Thank you xx
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *hqluxy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
Your bags are beautiful! This video totally reignited a dormant desire for anano speedy!
yay!!! (and sorry) xx
Kimberly S wait till you see her in a bikini... gorgeous bags
Wow! I am so happy that I watch this before committing to buy from a seller in ebay and upon checking, hers was fake because I count the stitching of the handle just what you mentioned. Omg! There are a lot of fakes out there... also I went to Louis Vuitton’s website and the same number of stitching in there speedy 30.. thank you for this video!🙏🏻 I would have waste my money. I’d like to buy a preloved Louis Vuitton just because I cannot afford to go to the LV store.
I'm looking in eBay now can you tell me which lady because I'm really not sure if I should purchase from her.. at least the state she was coming from or something
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this ”REAL ” LV or Dupe.. but for me I am enjoying it my dupe LV because I am living in own means and frankly speaking I can not afford ”Luxury” stuff like these. Plus the FACT that I have a family to feed that’s the most important. but yeah I am happy and feel in love with it. Who cares?!🤷🏻♀️ if I am wearing dupe bags as long as I am NOT harming other people. 😂😂
You had me in the first 42 seconds. Love your attitude😘
i purchased a fake LV from ebay with real packaging one year for Christmas. It was the patent leather candy apple red Alma MM (or the largest size). It was sold out everywhere and my girlfriend at the time really wanted it. I didn't know anything about handbags and I saw it on ebay with the brown packaging as I already had belts, travel case etc during that time and all had the thick brown case. I actually spend $300+ more than the price just to get the exclusive bag/color combo.
I love your sharing! That’s why I always buy at Louis Vuitton store, it never go wrong!
Interesting tip. Regarding the receipt. I kept the original and I also ask my associate to send the copy of my receipt to my email address and she’s nice enough to do it for me. I have 3 LV bags and 6 small leather goods that I bought here in Spain where all were made in France though
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
I am on the lookout for a preloved bag and trying to gather as much info to avoid buying a fake. There are so many fakes in Asia unfortunately. Personally, i do not condone anything fake. If i cannot afford to buy it, i will not buy it.
Love from Singapore.
I dunno, I really love my Ainifeel Garden Party knockoffs from Amazon. I have 5 and just don't think the price Hermés charges for an authentic Garden Party is worth it to ME. I use my fakes for everyday and save my Birkin 35 for special outings when I don't want to be seen with a fake. No one at the grocery store knows a Garden party from a grocery sack.....which btw, I actually have carried as my purse, back in the day. At some events I attend everyone has authentic designer bags.....so naturally a Birkin trumps all other bags in the room. I know.....so shallow of me. :)
I'm really surprised by the *topluxs* crossbody bag. Love it!
Fabulous video... I figured - id have heard everything you've said. However you really taught me things idk and I own several of these bags..😂😂😂😂 Everything you said about the semitry idk and found it soo fascinating. I knew in the 80s? They redid the monogram and made the 1 line always end on the same. However idk the diagnol thing would end on same.😍 But, I noticed my bags all line up exatly like you mentioned even on the zipper like you also mentioned. Idk any of this info..lol Great video. Very informative. I think lv bags are soo addictive. The leather is soo amazing and 1 of a kind. Ive never purchased one brand new bag though.😕
(someday😉) Id love to own a brand new one cos I buy off preloved for better deals. Sumday I will buy a brand new one and make my own petina on it. Again fabulous video gorgeous. Thank you im totally subscribing..
The handles length is how I knew I received a fake Louis Vuitton x Supreme Keepall 45!
Wonderfully informative! Thank you!
great information! And very easy to listen to and watch. Thank you!
I believe no girl can say no to *preluxscom*
Myst be nice to be able to afford all those "Real" LV bags....you go Girl do your thang...
I know some rich people who buy fake bags as well, and only go out with the real ones on special occasions....lol don't ask me why
Theft, being rough with items... I’d cry hard IF a real item got lost, stolen, or damaged on a night out. 🤷🏼♀️
same here El Bombero, I definitely know people who does the same. Rachet places fake louie's Elite places Real Louie lol 😂
I really the way you explained everything and how you said if you enjoy bags even fake ones just go for it, hahahaha, I never really paid any particular attention to LV, and I know how expensive they are, until someone gave me "one". Gave me a wallet, I had no idea, what was fake and not, now I do hahahahaha
The word fake is provocative, i swear i can hardly see a difference in my lv bags comparing to my friends i stayed hours seeing the difference even the code they have one and they have sworn that its fake and it is bc they have got it got like 50 -100$ + leather and dust bag and everything even the tags , it’s like made from Louis Vuitton but selled else where it’s crazy that’s why i praise having fake bc u get much cheaper for the same quality and i swear it’s been 8 years with her the purse haven’t showed any signs of torns and tear and the leather even better than mine the “authentic” it’s crazy how some companies can be Aaaaa+ and still today there is no difference and i even tried the technique you promoted in the video and still same. And that’s satisfying my friends can still sit there on a table feeling comfortable to put their bags for everyone to see bc trust me people would trash talk and now everyone thinks their like rich. Period lol
I always buy LV bags that are from the 90's. The bags I have bought in store from 2010-2016 are not as good quality, specially the ones that I have used a lot.
Agreed!
So right! I prefer preowned LV bags at least 15 years old, because the newer bags lack the longevity. That's just how it is nowadays with just about everything...
Just a note to say vintage French Company Speedies will have a split in the canvas on the bottom with the LVs going the proper direction on both sides. They are stunning in my opinion.
wow-very nice- thank you. xx
This is a great video! Very good for new bag collectors like myself. I was thinking though I wonder if the reason fakes are getting better and better is because videos are being made showing all the details of the legit bags?
I have serious issues with people knocking fakes so you are a breath of fresh air. I have just watched another person authenticating a bag and she says they have 5 stitches across the handle area, where you show 4 and they almost the same style, which is correct? The code, does it refer to weeks and year or months and year both can not be right? I've seen both being referred to in various videos.
I've learned to buy bags straight from the source, the only way I'll do it.
Thank you so much . It will help me to spot the Original. I enjoy buying pre love bags online.
Considering that lv has made small changes to some of there bags for example the speedy stitching on the handle now goes over the gold thing like shown in your video however before it never use too
I really enjoyed your video! Now I'm excited to check out my monogram pieces for all the points you featured. Can't wait for your next video!
thank you 😃👜xx
Great video, thanks very much. Loads of great tips and advice.👍
Love this video, really informative! iIf you ever want to sell your items, get in touch!
I have a speedy 25 from the 80s made in the untied states and they are not made the same. I only mention it bc I was not sure if you were aware. Mine has a split in the bottom and all lvs are right side up
Got my first LV Doctors bag in 77. A graduation from HS gift. I had a very indulgent godmother. I started college that Fall & there were two very cosmopolitan sisters who had lived in Europe. Their dad was in oil/geology. Right away they told me the fakes out there were too good to spend money on the real thing. Fakes? I didn’t even know there were such beasts.
I have learned a lot from you regarding Louis Vuitton. Thank you very much.
I love how you look at both sides of the buyer.
One of the best videos I’ve found 😍😍😍
Hai emma, i bought a speedy bandouliere made in France at LV store 3 months ago. The date code LA 0129 . And the initial LA represents made in USA. So, I'm wondering why the country code and the made in hot stamp do not match.
It this normal?
Oh ye, on the handle bag little bit wrinkled not really smooth. Is this normal?
Thankyou
