I think the bags are made by machine. Some parts may be added by people working in the plants, but that doesn't make them handmade. For instance, with Hermes, there are actual craftsmen who sew the bags by hand. That is one reason it is so hard to find Hermes bags and takes so long to get them when you order them. And that is one way to discern a real Hermes bag...the stitching will be slightly uneven because it is done by human hands as opposed to a machine. If anything in LV is handmade it would be the very exclusive, very expensive pieces. Most handmade bags are going to cost in the thousands. It is rare to find one that isn't unless it is a relatively new or unknown designer. And I have been looking for information on whether Chanel is handmade.Oh..I thought LV was handmade, or so I read somewhere. How do they make all of our purses then?
