First off, let’s talk about the bags. I saw this thing online the other day, supposed to be a Speedy. The stitching was like, literally going in different directions. It was tragic. The official guide says the *best* way to spot a fake is to… well, it stops mid-sentence, doesn’t it? Guess they want you to buy the real deal to find out! But seriously, look at the details. Are the seams straight? Is the leather (or whatever it’s supposed to be) feeling cheap and plasticky? Real LV feels, well, real. Ya know?
Then you get to the belts. Men’s belts, specifically. “Utilitarian purpose” and “fashionable finishing touch” is how Louis Vuitton tries to sell the real ones. Yeah, okay. But the fake ones? Utilitarian? Maybe if you’re holding your pants up with hope and dreams. Fashionable? Only if you’re going for that “I found this in a dumpster” chic look. I’ve seen some that the “LV” logo is like, completely off-center. Or worse, they spell Vuitton wrong. Seriously, how hard is it to spell a name that’s literally on the thing you’re copying??
And accessories…Lord have mercy. I’ve seen fake LV wallets that fall apart after a week. Keychains that look like they were made in a preschool art class. Don’t even get me started on the charms. They’re just… sad.
Honestly, it’s a gamble. You *might* get a decent fake, one that looks okay from a distance. But chances are, you’re gonna end up with something that screams “I tried to be fancy but failed miserably.” Which, hey, no judgement. We’ve all been there. Maybe. But if you’re gonna rock a fake, own it! Don’t try to pass it off as real. Cuz trust me, people can tell. And at that point, you’re not just wearing a fake, you’re wearing a lie. And that’s just… tacky.
