Also, any other helpful hints I should look for on the bag that would be a giveaway for a fake??? (Like what is supposed to be glued on and what is supposed to be sewed on, and also something about upside down LV's???) Thanks!!!
K, there should be no square piece inside of a speedy - and speedies can be made in USA and Spain, not just France. The speedy is made of one continuous piece of canvas, so the LV's are upside down on one side. Any patches inside or outside of the bag is a sure sign of a fake speedy. The interior is dark brown; never a beige.

For some quick, free info check out the link in my signature (below).

There is no leather pieces with any writing inside of the bag. There is a leather piece on the SIDE of the bag that says Louis Vuitton Paris Made in... but never inside.
