Hi,

I'm about to buy a Galliera PM. But I was disturb by seing a super Fake Galliera which has showned by my friend
Does any body know the very specific one how to know between the real and fakes one. I almost can not distinguis.

The canvas also very soft. Oh, yes ,how many pockets are there inside ? are there 2 pockets : hp and the one with button cover or are there 3 pockets : hp , the button cover and pocket without button cover (place behind button cover)

Could you buy it from the store, that way you won't have to worry about fakes?

I will buy through my friend, she will travel overseas and spend one day at Paris. But, I still a bit worries

If your friend has a store receipt, this should help. I'm sure your friend wouldn't sell you a fake bag????
Also, if you are near a LV store go look at one IRL.
Just some suggestions.
Good Luck!

Are you saving alot of money by purchasing through your friend? Is your friend really trustworthy? If the answer is "no" why not purchase at an LV boutique? I always enjoy the experience and you'll have no worries about your bag being a fake. Also if there's ever a problem you'll be on their records.

If you are asking this question, it would suggest maybe you don't totally trust your friend. Why not go purchase yourself.....that way you can try it on for size, or you may spot something you like better. It is a great experience going to the LV store and that way...you KNOW you have the real deal!

Just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck to you and post pics!
