Comparison of Fake LV against a Real

- A very good fake, but still a fake. -
Below are comparison images between the Louis Vuitton Trevi GM that I bought from Lesconcept on eBay Australia against a real one.

The inconsistencies are advised by an LV salesperson in Sydney.
1. Completely different sized handles, different stitching and different leather.

 

2. Handles are of different material, the fake text is bigger and thinner, covers more area of the handle and the engraving is much clearer than the real one.


 3. The finishing at the top of the handles are completely different, also the fabric doesn't lie down. The real bag, all the creases lie perfectly. You can also tell that the stitching on the fake is more disorganised.


4. The date code is completely different. It is not black, the text is tall and cramped together.



 5. The photo is not very clear in this one, but the fake tag is so obviously fake. The ink at the top of R is falling over it. There is a clear space between LO of Louis - obvious trait of a fake. e in made has ink missing and e in France has too much ink.


6. This the handles are closer together on the fake. It is only 3 squares away from the logo square with the words "Louis Vuitton PARIS". On the real bag, it should be always 3.5 squares.


The biggest giveaway that the bag is a fake is that the material is soft, so the bag doesn't stand up on it's own. That was the first thing the store person mentioned. "This does not feel like Damier Ebene canvas."
