A few pointers on spotting a fake Murakami Speedy 30:

Speedy's do NOT come with

1. Luggage tag

2. Genuine leather/fabric swatch.

3. A hanging price/product tags from the handles

4. An authentication card.

They have date codes, not serial numbers. Fakes can also have these date codes. Just because it has one, doesn't make it authentic. Counterfeiters can duplicate the LV receipts just as well as the handbag so don't get excited just because there's a picture of a receipt.

Characteristics:

• On the front pocket of the purse, the flap has 2 flowers on each side; these flowers should stretch from the stitching to the top of the flap. There should be no white canvas under or over these flowers.

• The brass feet should NOT COVER ANY of the LV's.

• The leather tag that hangs off the end of the zipper should have stitching that come down to a V and be right in the center (but not touching) the R with the circle around it.

• The same tag as mentioned above, should have the #30 on the bottom engraved in the leather and should have no color.

• The Pocket on the front of the purse is a perfect square, each side should measure 4 1/4 inch on each side.

• The LV's on the purse can only be in these colors: Deep Yellow, Deep Pink, Purple, Fuchsia, Black, (CRAYOLA) Green, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Chartreuse Yellow. NONE OF THE LV LETTERS THEMSELVES SHOULD EVER BE RED!! THE LITTLE STARS YES, NOT THE LV'S, OR THAT PUTRID LIME GREEN.

• The LV's should all align horizontally on the purse across the pocket
