Hi! I'm really new to this website but have been stalking the forums for a long time. I usually buy my things new and at the boutiques because I'm so afraid of fakes. But I found a really good deal on a speedy (a bag I didn't think I wanted until I bought it lol) and ended up getting it online. I'm going to try my luck on the LV forum!
However, I also bought a LV round coin purse from a reseller in person a while back. I was desperate because it's a discontinued item. We met at the department store and she was lovely, but I just want peace of mind. I know the LV forum doesn't authenticate items without an online listing so... what authenticators do you recommend? I've spent hours reading horror stores from Real Authentication both here and on review sites.
Sorry for the long post!
Edit: I do know a bit about LV and if these items are fake, they would be super fakes (God forbid...) because they look and feel real to me. Would you recommend in-person authentication or would online be enough to spot super fakes?
