Make sure you can answer the following questions to

1) What color is the bag's interior for my particular
Louis Vuitton handbag?
2) What is the proper placement of the date code?
3) Is the Louis Vuitton bag properly priced? A bag that
retails for $1300 dollars will not be sold for $500
dollars.
4) Can I trust the seller? Is there any positive seller
feedback from numerous buyers?
5) What type of packaging will accompany the bag? Louis
Vuitton has very strict presentation and packaging
standards for their luxury items.
6) Does the Louis Vuitton handbag come with a dust bag?
And if so, is the dust bag authentic?
7) Is this a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag?
8) What hardware is included with the bag? Is the bag
missing locks, keys and metalware?
9) Can you verify that the sales receipt is authentic?
Buyers beware. There are counterfeit sales receipts
floating around the internet.
Do extensive handbag homework before purchasing any
luxury items outside of authorized retailers. If it
looks like a fake, seems like a fake, and is
considerably below retail, it probably is counterfeit.
Consider treating yourself to an authentic Louis Vuitton
handbag. After all these hours spent becoming a
fake Louis Vuitton bag expert, you
deserve to splurge on the real thing.
