How to spot a fake and appreciate Louis Vuitton Canvas Bags 

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 love how you weren’t rude about the people who do but fakes that was so sweet!

Hey Emma i just wanted to tell you that your videos are super helpful keep posting videos like this

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 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.

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!.

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

I agree with you about the zippers. You see a lot of RU-vidrs 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. 😒

She said you might be watching this because your bored Me: yep

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

This is the best and most informative video on LV Bags.....thank you so much...well done!

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! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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...❤️

I love fake rep as long is durable to use now I can afford to buy my house.

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 your opinion, Emma. Very down to earth. Very honest. My fav : Life is short! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve watched a lot of these videos and she did such a great job. I totally recommend this video.

Thanks for this video. It was very well done and your enthusiasm is infectious.

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!

I love your sharing! That’s why I always buy at Louis Vuitton store, it never go wrong!

This is actually one of the more helpful authentication videos I've seen! Thank you for going into great detail about the patterns.

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. 🖤

You should look at some of these AAA replicas now a days. They literally have all the qualities and dimensions you mentioned here.

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🙌🏼

You had me in the first 42 seconds. Love your attitude😘

I loved the first thing you said... That means enjoy what you have and don’t find out ways to get upset 👸🏻❤️

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!

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..

Thanks for the wonderful and informative tips! You are smashing!! Love everything about this video!

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

Emma what a wonderful video! Enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you.

This is the best review I’ve ever seen! Very detailed and informative! Bravo!

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!

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.

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *yutulux* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations ❤

Great video!!! Very informative and fabulous attitude. You can tell she really just loves bags, and not just because it’s an authentic “LV”.

One of the best videos I’ve found 😍😍😍

Much appreciated.. I was under the impression there was a minimum of about 7 stitches p/i. Thank you for the clarity.

Ended up here randomly, but I think you are probably the best person to do this video.

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!

Thank you for the share, it so great to know the LV Detail :-)

I love ❤️ the way you think! 🤗 love from California 🤗

Wonderfully informative! Thank you!

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.

great information! And very easy to listen to and watch. Thank you!

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!

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.

This video is perfect for a beginner LV collector, thank you! You're so sweet!

I have learned a lot from you regarding Louis Vuitton. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this Video what I've been looking for!!

Your bags are beautiful! This video totally reignited a dormant desire for anano speedy!

Emma Anders, thank you for this really helpful video.

Thank you so much . It will help me to spot the Original. I enjoy buying pre love bags online.

Great video, thanks very much. Loads of great tips and advice.👍

Love your video!! Thank you so much for tips!!

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.

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.

Thank you for the information, I purchased my three Louis Vuitton from New York fifth Have.

Absolutely adorable Emma! Commendable presentation as well dear lol!

Such an informative video! Thank you.

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

I love your video..very nice information specially for this luxury items of bags

Very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

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..

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 don’t care if it’s real or fake. I can pretend I have a designer bag lol. 😂

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?

What a great video it is such a great information thank you for sharing it I really like it

Love this video, thanks for all the information!

You are wonderful , your passion is infectious , Thanks for post !

I have never received the 2nd/3rd tag with my purchases. They all seem to get them with their US purchases.

Great information. What do you do with all your boxes and dust bags?

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.

My authentic neverfulls aren’t lined up exactly on the sides so it’s not always true !

I appreciated your review.

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👏👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent video, loving your channel!

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

I live in Manchester as it rains a lot do you use leather protector on your bags?

How did you know I was bored? Just kidding I’m really medicated and enjoyed watching this!

Thank you for this information.

The handles length is how I knew I received a fake Louis Vuitton x Supreme Keepall 45!

Love your attitude about the real and fake.

I have one costs like 80.00 and up...looks good with inner wallet and i was good about it..thanks for advice.

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the H Q D U P S leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

Great video! Thank you for the info. Learn quite a bit. XOXO

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.

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

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

Love this video, really informative! iIf you ever want to sell your items, get in touch!

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

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.

Thank u so much! I thought mine didn’t have a date code but u showed me where and boom 💥 it’s there! After watching this, I have realized mine is real, it’s 21 years old, but real! Thank u! Also, do u know where the date code is on a wallet ?

I Learned A lot About My Bag I Purchased In 2019..Thank You..

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 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.

Nice video, you're very sympathetic!

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’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.

I love how you look at both sides of the buyer.
