liyah.. the inside is totally wrong.. it should be a darker brown lining. the shape is also totally wrong.. if it's supposed to be a vavin pm, the handles are too long.. if it's suppoed to be a vavin gm.. then the shape is way off... hope this helps...!

in the meantime.. I NEED HELP!! ends in 3 hrs so hopefully one of you can help out.. kinda hesitant cos the leather looks like it's a different color in all those pics... not sure if it's the flash on the camera or if she is taking pics of two different wallets...

Nope...wrong dimensions, wrong dust bag( Dustbags don't have rounded corners) and wrong box...

Hope that helps...

Thanks yall! :)
I pulled out my French Wallet and compared it to the auction. The things I notice are: the overhead pic shows 2 fleurs on the outside and one quadrefoil on the inside (my wallet shows the opposite - 2 quadrefoils on the outside and one fleur on the inside), the gold snaps look a bit more curved then the ones on my wallet, the LV trademark is very light (the one on my wallet is very dark and thick) and not as close to the edge as mine, the right hand side of the wallet's inside is too big, the leather is too light, and the snap on my wallet is right next to the tip of the quadrefoil - in fact, it overlaps the tip by a teeny bit.

I'd say this one is a grade A fake.

the leather color also bugs me (pics of the stamping) since it looks like she has taken them at two different times (look at the content in the bill pocket at the right from the stamping) or from two different wallets...

Both of those are fake. LV doesn't issue those yellow cards. Those only come with fakes.

Fake The LV font is very wrong, and the bag itself just looks "off".
