Hi there, thank you you helped me to spot that unfortunately my purchase was definitely not authentic.. I mean, it was a gift and I feel TERRIBLE now, I spotted mistakes on the material, like small missing parts from the blue print pieces, scratches etc.. I said to myself, a new LV bag should be perfect!! So I started to look for videos and found yours. I am now a 100% sure that this bag is not what it is. My whole family feels terrible.. not just because they spent over 2000 usd on not authentic stuff, but also because we obviously dont support child labour, abusive working conditions, where these bags are made... I have no idea how and why this and the zippy wallet was bought but you know, someone who is not an expert unfortunately makes these purchases.. so I am thankful you made this video, it is helping others to raise awareness... I might do a video on my fake items.. and I am not planning to use them at all >*( really hating the thought that some people were making these bags somewhere earning 1 usd per day or worst, not eating, not drinking water or anything, just to be able to buy some food!!! this is really terrible and my heart breaks for those who made these items... I would have never bought them, but unfortunately I got them as gift >(((( anyway, thank you again and I hope you can upload the other parts of this video. Cheers!! xx
So sorry to hear that this happened to you. I apologise for my delayed response as I had not been notified of your message until I was just going through some videos and found this. You are totally right and I am glad you are aware of how terrible the counterfeit industry can be! I am happy my video helped you and at least you learned something from it and to be more aware next time or to hire authenticators before purchasing. As bad as it is, there will always be con artists in every industry but the best thing we can do is educate ourselves and help each other out. Have a good week! Xx
I actually created a video about my experience and linked your videos link below mine, thank you for the inspiration and also the amazing work you do! >)
Linda Sackitey I realise they come with flaws but there are certain flaws that they have but most of the things I’ve mentioned are generally always present. I’ve been collecting and authenticating for many years.
went to phillipines and I bought 20 fake LV bag. I told customs it was for presents only and they let me not delclare the 20 bags Gave one to my sis she was happpy. Gave the rest to my clients but I said they are fake. They still loved it
Did you know that the 3 sizes pm mm and gm all have their own differences. Even the lv square sigh are placed differently and the side of the bag align differently as well expecially in the azure and ebene print. Am saying all this because someone with a mm size neverfull may see your bag and what you are saying and think their bag or someone else’s bag is fake 😬
Linda Sackitey that’s common knowledge. Every size has specific placement. That is why my video is clearly labelled a neverfull GM and I do not claim it applies to any other bag or model: I’ve been authenticating over 10 years:
Thank you for sharing this! I just purchased a preloved Louis Vuitton Monogram Neverfull GM 2007. I was wondering since it is 2007 the interior pocket would it be shorter or like the recent where the length touches the bottom? Thank you.
Hello Erica, as far as I am aware, all neverfulls regardless of which year they are from should have pockets that reach the bottom. I am more than happy to authenticate your bag if you wish!
These are just a few ways to help you but it has taken many years for me to be able to spot very slight differences on even the best replicas which would require me to assess a piece individually and this is why people hire me for piece of mind. Please email me for authentication rates at idylle.doll@icloud.com
I purchased an MM monogram. Took it to a place for authenticity. They said it’s authentic ( proof and all) but there are some things/details that have me wonder if o should take it somewhere else . 😆😆🤷🏻♀️
I know why I am saying all this ok . I was at an luv shop in regards to this same authentic issue of a bag that I was sure was fake because of similar reviews on utube and I was told by my rep to be care of what I look up on utube. So please I know what am talking about . Anyways thanks
I never accused you of not knowing what you are talking about nor did I think you didn't know what you are saying. Of course you should be careful as should everyone when they buy any product. People usually hire me as a back up when they buy their bags from places like the real real or luxury exchange for extra assurance. Btw, the sales reps often are not the best people to authenticate, even they often don't know what to look for believe it or not! I even pointed out one that my SA years ago didn't even realise and I explained to her the details of how I knew and she was blown away. It is also against their policy to authenticate which is why people like me and other companies exist.
Linda Darling you don’t need to be licensed to authenticate but you do for a full out business where you hand out certificates. Even authentication services with licensees have been wrong just an FYI because some fakes are getting so good but usually it’s s bunch of things together which confirm authenticity and I have yet to see a fake with everything done correctly. This video is very basic with only a few things to look for.
Hi! Would you be able to authenticate a pochette accessoires purchased from the realreal for me? I've seen videos like this and it seems like it could be real but the smell and the feel of the canvas give me a feeling it would be fake. 😓 any help would be appreciated!
HI there, the realreal is a reputable authentication service however if you still have doubts please email me at idylle.doll@icloud.com and I can tell you my rates as I provide 3 different levels of authentication (from basic to very descriptive) and will need very specific photos. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Yes infact I am selling a Vernis cles pochette in the discontinued fuschia colour. It's in nearly new condition and the auction ends tomorrow. Here is the link: pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271778968256
I am so happy to come accross your video. I just wanna ask only one thing, when you say the inner pocket of the LV neverfull should reach the bottom... is there a slight cm above from the base though? Just curious. Thank You.
Hi! Ms Doll I recently bought a lv neverfull mm bag I am new the lv world lol I was wondering if you could authenticate my bag I would appericate your help I bought it from Garo Laxury.
Hello sweets. I sent you an email and you'll be happy to know your bag is 100% authentic so the source you purchased her from is definitely reliable. Enjoy and wear it with pride!
Great video ! Thank you for all you wealth of knowledge ! But here are my thoughts ! I love a LV bag the only one I own is a. Monogram speedy 30. Bought it 2 years ago and I would like to buy another for now it's not in my budget ! So I did go and buy a good replica , and don't pretend it's a real one if people ask me I say it's a replica It wasn't cheap I paid about 200.00 bucks and I. Absolutely love it I bought the monogram and MM never full. And I'm ok with that but for those people buying per loved I would never . It's like like you're getting a great deal ! For the extra money I'd rather buy mine at the Louis Vuitton store! I saw a pre loved speedy 30 for 795.00 and A brand-new speedy 30 at the Louis Vuitton store is 950.00 155.00 saving is not a big deal in the scheme of things. As of my mm never full for 200.00 vs the real mm never full for 1350.00 that's a huge diff. And I know it not real ! That is next on my list the REAL lv mm never full bought at the LV store . This way I do t have to knock my brains out wondering is it real or was I scammed ! Again a great video thank you .
Photos on the Louis Vuitton site are known to be inaccurate to throw off the counterfeit industry. That is the worst place to compare. Use actual bags in the shops or accredited authentic bag sites. This is also generalised and there may be slight variances but overall it shouldn't be too far off ;-)
