How are u liking ur duomo? Does it stick out a lot or does it stay pretty much close to ur body? I am thinking to get one preloved.
JazzyMac, thanks for your answer. Actually, the bag has the initials of the former owner already stamped, which was one of the reasons I believed it was authentic. However, the number of stitches puzzles me, since I can read everywhere that a lower number of stitches means usually that the bag is fake.
LV won't stamp a bag that is fake. TO BE HONEST (only my opinion), I can't follow the many videos, posts, comments, paragraphs, books, and all else about how people know the difference between a fake and a real purse. I can personally only tell the difference between truly fake and real, i.e. if the L is upside down or some weird thing like that, or if a friend has had a bag for years and the vachetta is still light or something. Although a fake bag held for years won't hold up in quality like a real one will. It just won't. It will literally start falling apart in your hands. I don't put too much weight on the amount of stitches per inch of length on the side of millimeter of each edge--oh em goodness, I'd drive myself crazy! And you will too I'm thinking. Truth is, not everyone knows every single piece of LV produced when, where, how many, etc. You can look up the threads now where the Infrared Pochette metis is all peeling, and off-centered. Years later, someone will have it and someone else will say, "it's off-centered, so that means it's fake!". Nah.
Besides, 6 1/2 inches rounded up to the nearest inch is 7 inches, soooooo. Hey, if men can do it, so can we!
You could honestly drive yourself crazy measuring the stitches! I measured 6-8 stitches per inch around the trim of my NF. Depending on which section I measured there were some shorter or longer stitches. Mine was purchased at a LV store 3 years ago. You did mention that it was heat stamped so I don't think a fake bag could have that. But if you are still unsure then the best bet is to go through an authenticator. You can inquire on "authenticate this forum." I'm not sure if they do this for bags that have already been purchased, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I'm really loving it. It definitely stays close to the body. The canvas is really supple and molds to your body. I'm starting to think it has the personality of a clown car (or the Tardis, for you Dr. Who fans). Compact on the outside...but it sure does hold a ton on the inside. LOL I highly recommend.
JazzyMac, you're right! I won't bother with this "stitches" thing anymore. Thanks a lot.LV won't stamp a bag that is fake.

I don't know why I didn't pick it up earlier.... just now I'm realizing I need a mid size crossbody to give my speedy a break that holds the same amount as a speedy... I have a mabillion but it's not as big as the Duomo and I hate having to downsize stuff more than I have to for everyday bags. Lol, clown car, it truly looks deceivingly small...
I was reading on Reddit (can't find the link, sorry) that someone claims they got a replica bag stamped in store. I've also found replica stores that claim to offer the service directly.
(No, I'm not shopping for replicas... just doing research so I don't get ripped off in the preloved market.)
That's probably true. It's apparent that anything is possible. I guess if the bag looks real they probably wouldn't think to check.
Rowing away from ban island. Are alma BB's typically in stock on the uk site, or is it a wait?
just annoyed w/lv 800 line.. called this morning for an item that has said "call" for like 3 months... the woman said they don't expect stock until june or july. then it becomes available for purchase within the hour. i don't get their system at all when you call. it seems so random what answer you get about anything
Hi, I bought a NF MM in Damien Ebene in January 2017, and have had no issues with cracking. I love how carefree it is!

My husband works in CS and highly it's doubtful they have any foresight into when the particular item you want will be updated online.
