MCM Bag with Vuitton Rivets Authentic? HELP!

Maggie1941 · Jul 15th, 2008, 09:35 PM

This is my 1st time on this site and could desperately use some help. I have a large MCM bag/tote which has the gold stamped logo on front with the serial #. Also has monogrammed lining and pull tab. It has a leather tag sewn on inside pocket which is also stamped but the weird thing is 3 out of the 4 of the gold rivets that hold the handles on are stamped LOUIS VUITTON. Is this an authentic MCM? I know NOTHING about purses. Any info/opinions would be appreciated.

I don't know! Sounds like of fishy to me. I recently found an MCM clutch and during my limited research about the company have found it has been sold a few times but not to the group that owns LV. Here is a link to a discussion on the eBay purse board about MCM. One poster had a couple of good tips.

You shouldn't be finding Louis Vuitton parts on an MCM bag. Either two things happened here: (1) the bag is fake and the counterfeiters were so negligent they used the wrong parts with the wrong bag or (2) the bag is real, but someone used old Vuitton rivets to replace the MCM rivets that might have been lost.

Maybe but can rivets but reused?

I liked learning about the 8 leaflet/9 leaflet thing.
