Yikes! To me the heatstamp looks off but then I know nothing about LV.
This is what Carol said about my wallet -
1. Datecode is invalid.
2. The 4-petal flower motifs aren't correctly shaped.
3. Wording on zipper pull is in the wrong font.
Honestly I wouldn't have known if someone didn't point it out to me when I went to sell it myself. Within a few hours of having it up I had a buyer contact me and very gently tell me they felt it was a replica. I was horrified, immediately ended the auction and contacted Carol Diva. Luckily I was still within the time frame for a claim. And actually in the long run I will be better off getting all my money back rather than what I could have sold it for anyway so I was doubly thankfully someone reached out to point it out to me and in a nice way. Still, I felt violated, that someone would deliberately do this, and foolish for not knowing it better. I had seen the wallet in a LV store and really loved the color, it would go with a couple of my bags and then it sold out. So I got it online and when I had it in hand it looked like the same wallet to me. The hardware was weighty, the seams straight, the vernis leather nice and glossy. Damn but they do a good job with the fakes.
I hesitate to add this because I'm going to assume they would have knew this when they received the wallet in person, but I contacted Yoogi's Closet to see if it was something I could sell to them or consign. I sent them the link to the original auction in which I purchased it as well as additional pics of my own. They wrote me back with an offer to purchase it and an offer to consign it. Since the offer was good for 30 days I thought I'd try to sell it first and see what happens, if it didn't sell I would send it on to them.
