How to spot the fake vs authentic Louis Vuitton Coin Purse

The authentic LV monogram pattern is usually symmetrical from side to side. Authentic designer handbags will have perfect symmetry in the way the pattern is arranged. An asymmetrical pattern is often a dead giveaway that an item is a counterfeit.

Often counterfeits will have date codes that are inconsistent with other stampings on the item. For example, the date code may indicate that the counterfeit item was manufactured in Spain while the stamping indicates it was made in France.

The interior bottom seam was loose and coming apart and the zipper was pulling loose. The poor quality of material and workmanship was very obvious. Look for overall workmanship and materials. This requires close inspection and handling the item.

. It may be difficult to differentiate a counterfeit from an authentic until the item arrives and you are able to hold it and inspect it. What makes it even more difficult is that some unethical sellers will post stock photos or stolen photos of an authentic item, and that is not the item you will receive. Some designer's utilize characteristic stitching in the construction of their items. For example, Louis Vuitton utilizes spiral stitching in their products, with each stitch segment being at even length.

COUNTERFEIT: Interior piece that the chain is connected to, should not be round-but triangle (see photo below)

  AUTHENTIC IS ON THE RIGHT

Note the color and the shape of the two clips when compared side by side. Also note the LV logo engraved on the top is slightly larger on the replica.
