Authenticity is a hot topic when it comes to Louis Vuitton bags uae due to their massive popularity. Thousands of customers have asked us questions about authentication over the years, so we created this guide to answer them.

In addition to date codes, materials, and craftsmanship, LV bags UAE have several other key indicators of authenticity. In addition to Louis Vuitton, our authenticators are knowledgeable about many other brands as well. We have provided a brief overview of each of these categories in this guide. In determining whether or not your LV bags UAE is real, here are some key points to consider.

Ensure that exterior materials are embossed and logoed correctly

In addition to a variety of materials and hundreds of color combinations, LV bags UAE offers a variety of styles. Louis Vuitton’s most popular materials are Monogram canvas, Damier canvas, Epi leather, and Monogram Vernis leather. Keeping these points in mind will help you make the right choice:

In addition, you can determine the authenticity of a bag by touching and looking closely at these materials before considering any other factors. It is common for counterfeit materials to display greater variations in patterns, colors, textures, and weights. Material authenticity can be determined by looking at the product photos on our website.

Monogram Canvas Motifs

Monogram canvas is subject to many misconceptions. In spite of the fact that many people believe that LV logos are never cut off or upside down, this is not the case. Since the Speedy is made from one continuous piece of material, it is a perfect example of an upside-down logo.

It is generally not possible to cut off LV logos, but there are exceptions to the rule. Because of the way these bags are designed, Ellipse, Croissant, Tulum, and Tivoli bags have cut-off logos along the edges.

In order to maximize Monogram canvas motifs, Vuitton aligns them on all four sides of the bag. In many cases, pattern alignment depends on the bag style, and can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. A slight variation in alignment may occur along seams and zipper lines due to the manufacturing process. In order to match an authentic LV with an authentic one, you need to be able to count the LVs up and down.

Correct Leather Trademark Stamps

Markings on leather with the trademark symbol are known as leather trademark stamps. A round “O” letter is the first point of inspection on authentic stamps (like the one below left). A perfect circle should appear on a Louis Vuitton “O”.

The leather trademark stamps on counterfeit bags are often inconsistent. There is a slight difference in font between the counterfeit stamp on the right and the authentic stamp on the left. There is an inconsistent embossing pattern on the counterfeit stamp (especially around the ‘made in’ portion). A genuine stamp, on the other hand, is clear and even. It is common for counterfeit stamps to vary in depth, clarity, size, and position.

There may be small variations in the trademark stamps from one year to the next, as well as from one factory to another. In addition, keep in mind that the appearance of LV hardware stamping differs from that of leather stamping in terms of appearance.

Correct Hardware Stamps

LV bags UAE logo is found on a variety of hardware items, such as zipper pulls, plaques with the logo, and handle rings, along with trademark stamps. In order to determine the authenticity of a stamp, it is important to take into account its depth, size, and clarity.

Correct Hardware Logo Stamps

In the same way that the stamps that are used to mark leather have been described in the section on Correct Leather Trademark Stamps, authentic hardware should also be stamped clearly and consistently. There is a significant difference in embossing depth between the zipper pulls on the top and bottom zippers in the counterfeit example.

Correct Hardware Trademark Stamps

It should be noted that metal trademark stamps have “O”s that are slightly oblong rather than round. A good example of this is the Inventor plaque, which can be seen in the picture below. A smooth and neat finish has been applied to the machine markings on this authentic plaque, and there are no jagged edges to be found. Stamps that are counterfeit have machine marks inside the letters, and they do not have the smoothness of genuine stamps. 

Louis Vuitton Hardware: A Quick Note

According to a popular myth, there is no chipping, flaking, or wear off of the finish on original LV bags UAE hardware. As a matter of fact, this is simply not true at all as most modern day Vuitton hardware is made from plated metal. A padlock is one of the few types of hardware made from solid brass that can be found on a Vuitton bag.

Handles and trim are coated with well-applied glazing

Authentic LV bags UAE handles always have a layer of glazing on the edges that is applied very carefully and evenly. There is a tendency for counterfeit bags to have uneven or sloppy glazing. A counterfeit Louis Vuitton piece can also have a different color glazing, but the glazing should not be a vibrant red color on counterfeit LV bags UAE pieces.

Proper Louis Vuitton Interior Materials

The interior lining materials used by LV bags UAE vary based on the bag style. In terms of materials, canvas, microfiber, cross-grain leather, and Vuittonite are the most popular. To determine authenticity, check the lining for the correct style of bag. 

Depending on the exterior material, some bags may have different linings. An Epi Neverfull, for example, will have microfiber lining rather than canvas. Linings that don’t match the exterior material and style of a bag are a red flag and need further verification as authentic.

If you are having trouble determining which lining goes with which style of bag on our website, you can look through the Louis Vuitton photos.

Alcantara Microfiber Lining

A microfiber made exclusively for LV bags UAE, Alcantara microfiber has a very plush feel and is thick and thick. The high quality of this material sometimes makes it hard to distinguish it from suede due to its high quality.

A fake Alcantara microfiber lining will typically feel much thinner than an authentic Alcantara microfiber lining that is made of alcantara. As you can see from the example above, counterfeit microfiber materials are typically thinner in pile and/or have a coarser surface than the genuine items.

As a common practice, counterfeit pieces which attempt to mimic microfiber have a pigskin suede lining that is of low quality and is intended as a decoy. It is easy to distinguish low-quality suede from microfiber at first glance because you can see visible pores in the suede material.

Well-Stitched Seams, Zippers, and Trim

It is important to note that we are looking for proper stitch color, pattern, count, and alignment when evaluating authentic LV stitching. As far as stitching goes, authentic Vuitton stitching is not always absolutely perfect, but it is always of the highest quality.

In terms of consistency, LV bags UAE will typically have a high level of quality, but regardless of the style or material used, it is not uncommon to observe slight variations from bag to bag. There are many glaring imperfections in the counterfeit zippers in the picture to the right, such as badly cut leather, sloppy glazing, and uneven stitching within the zipper.

Louis Vuitton Date Codes

As one of the first points of inspection for determining the authenticity of a bag, the date code is one of the most important points. To indicate where and when a piece was made, vintage date codes will have two letters and four numbers to indicate the year and place where the piece was made. There will however be a slight difference depending on the year of manufacture. 

Date codes are made up of letters referred to as “factory codes.” These codes are intended to correspond with the ‘made in’ stamps on a separate leather piece that can be found on the back of the leather piece. The first step towards verifying the authenticity of a LV bags UAE piece is to match the factory code letters with the country listed on the ‘made in’ stamp on the bag in order to verify the factory code letters. Check out our blog post A Quick Guide to Authentic Louis Vuitton Date Codes for some guidance on how to decipher Louis Vuitton date codes.

Do not confuse date codes with model numbers as they should not be confused with each other. As opposed to being stamped directly on an item, a model number usually appears on a small piece of paper instead of being printed directly on it. The model number of a garment refers to its style name and is not a clue as to when and where the garment was made. In order to ensure the authenticity of your LV bags UAE pieces, you will never find model numbers printed on them. It may be interesting to read How You Can Know The Difference Between Louis Vuitton Date Codes and Model Numbers to find out more about what the difference is.

Knowledge and experience are required for accurate authentication. Knowing what to look for and educating yourself is the best way to ensure you buy an authentic LV bags UAE. The materials and workmanship of the items will, however, differ slightly as time passes. You can also determine if your Louis is real or fake by comparing it to others. In addition to the ways we mentioned, there are many other factors to consider, which will differ from bag to bag.
