Well LV stores don't really authenticate anymore... some boutiques still do though.
I suppose that the store manager is one of the main ones that authenticates, along with another experienced SA?
Interesting - thanks! So how DO people authenticate?
How do people authenticate?
Well we look at:
-Canvas
-Interior
-Leather
-Stitching
-Handle/strap size
-Colors of canvas or bag
-Size of bag
-Heat stamps [fonts and deepness of them]
-Date code format and location
-Hardware
You locate an authenticator who can tell you if it is real or not. You can find one through google search. Some charge a smaller fee then others.thank you for this. what do you do in case it seems too good to be true, like all the details match, size match you find code etc. but still it is supposed to be from eg 2010 and still has no faults. too good to be true I mean
