How do you spot a fake LV?

[MelaniaMai]

I'm really curious, how do you spot fake ones from miles away?

When people carry styles that were never even made...

When there are tons of threads hanging.

This is a hard question to answer as all fakes are made differently. Some are obvious because the color may be off or there are strange tags hanging off the bag. Be careful because some fakes can be made very well. You might not be able to tell unless you look up close. Make sure the date code is in the right spot. Also, make sure the date code makes sence.

I think the white or black Murakami aka multicolor are the easiest ones to spot ...

yup, the real ones should have 44 colours (I can't remember the exact number), instead of only 10 (or less colours) showing on the fake bag...

Hi, we don't have a reference here as this may assist those in making better fake bags.

Please take a look at the authenticate this thread - you can take a look at the bags along with authenticators and see if you can learn how to spot.
