Louis Vuitton stitching is an easy way to tell if a bag is real. The real bag is on the right in the last pic. Stitching should be even. The same number of stitches will be found on the mirrored side. For example the leather tab that the handle attaches onto on any size monogram Speedy bag will always have 5 even stitches across each top. Each LV is hand made perfectly. No excuse for bad stitches. Please see my listing about heat stamps. This is not definitive only intended as a guide.

mspleasant05 Have one for MCM? I just bought one on here and it was a FAKE! The pictures were of a real one, but I was shipped a fake. I opened a case but I am too pissed

Oct 20Reply

acquittdapparel @mspleasant05 sorry I don't have one for that brand bc I don't authenticate it.

Oct 20Reply

mspleasant05 It was preowned and priced at $300 but told someone else the lowest was $150 so I sent an offer and they accepted

mariavil For the V stitching - is it real with 4 or 5? @jcradd

Oct 22Reply

acquittdapparel @mariavil sorry for the delayed response. I wanted to double check mine... numbers get confused since there are so many lol. The Vs on the tabs should be 4 as shown in picture 1. The Vs for the handles should be 5 as shown in pics 2 and 4.

Oct 22Reply

acquittdapparel @mariavil however stitching numbers can be replicated. The stitching should be even and the same number on all 4 handles on all sides in the same location.

Oct 22Reply

mariavil Thanks so much for the tips @jcradd

acquittdapparel @coreys3520 noooo if you bought on here or eBay always file item not as described!

Oct 22Reply

acquittdapparel @coreys3520 most fakes now do have date codes. You just got to look at the date code and decipher it. Usually the fakes don't make sense. Ughhhh I hate Ⓜ️Ⓜ️. It's a dangerous site. Their info has been hacked so many times.

Oct 22Reply

acquittdapparel @coreys3520 they also don't have protection like posh protect and eBay money back.

Oct 22Reply

acquittdapparel @coreys3520 if you ever find one feel free to tag me and I will simply say yes or no. :-) don't want drama from the owner lol. I'm also considering letting go of a few of my pieces so I will let you know if I do.

hazel76 Hello, I was thinking about purchasing a LV 40 speedy what do I look for as if it's authentic or not I never had a LV bag but I always wanted one but don't want to get ripped off? Any advice would be gladly appreciated.

Jan 18Reply

acquittdapparel @hazel76 I have 4 guides posted so I would suggest following the tips in those. Make sure the date code marches the made in tag. Stitching is even. Glazing on edges of vanchetta isn't too red and stitching isn't too yellow. Vanchetta shouldn't be bright if it's older.

Jan 18Reply

hazel76 @jcradd okay thank you so much these tips really help alot, thanks for getting back to me!

shelpen I sent the Tiffany r the LV information through my share. Probably will make a couple of people perhaps a little upset. being a new posher, left a couple of sellers extremely nice notes about things they could not sell and I was worried they would get caught and perhaps they didn't know it at Cetera etc. they came back at me like a mama bear with Cubs! So now I just hit, Item not allowed. I am not the kind that can just ignore it.

dgoree30 How about the colouring isn't that easy way to tell between a real and fake person like the leather you could tell by leather and leather on the handles and the coloring of the leather that's on those ones real or fake does that always work so

Feb 01Reply

acquittdapparel @dgoree30 sometimes, but many fakes are now using real leather similar to the vanchetta that looks the same and is hard to tell the difference between unless you are an expert.

Feb 01Reply

dgoree30 @jcradd damnnn ok I just be seeing a lot of fake purses and I'm just discombobulated about it that's all

Feb 01Reply

acquittdapparel @dgoree30 There are tons out there! it's a big money maker for the criminals who make them. The money goes to support, organized crime, drug cartels and traffickers, sex slave trade, child labor, and other terrible things.

Feb 01Reply

dgoree30 So when people sell purses on posh aren't they supposed to let us know if there authentic or not

Feb 01Reply

acquittdapparel @dgoree30 they aren't actually allowed to sell dales. They can be removed from posh. Also if they ship you a fake they can face criminal fines.

Apr 12Reply

qpon_barbie @jcradd Oooh wow thank you bunches for the heads up, been ISO certain styles or pairs of jeans since I barely have any that fit me correctly now, wore a certain size before pregnancy, then wore a much larger size after pregnancy, now I am right in between those sizes and have like NO good jeans to wear... the struggle...

Apr 12Reply

acquittdapparel @qpon_barbie I get the struggle. I had gained a ton of weight thanks to PCOS. I had weight loss surgery in January and am between sizes a good bit. I have over 600 pairs listed so I'm sure you can find something!

Apr 12Reply

qpon_barbie Oooh my, bless your heart, the flip flop between sizes can be very frustrating at times. My boyfriend of 6+ years now and I recently started to purchase our 1st home together (I am 30 haha) and we put everything we had into the cost, even his new Honda CBR which he had for less than 6 months, however...

Apr 12Reply

qpon_barbie @jcradd ...the house was vandalized just 3 days prior to the closing date and we lost SOOO much $$$ due to "non refundable fees for inspections" so now here we are (2 years later) about to start all over again, we had to save up again and take a much needed house hunting break since we had the baby haha. I told him that even though we have worked hard to save, that I was searching for some fabulous jeans haha, so exhausted from wearing my yoga gear haha... (sorry for the novel though)

Apr 12Reply

acquittdapparel @qpon_barbie it's fine! Yea that really sucks but hey everything happens for a reason! I'm sure you will find the perfect house and everything will be better than it would have. It probably made y'all stronger :-)

Apr 12Reply

qpon_barbie @jcradd Oooh yes ma'am, even though we are both somewhat devastated we agreed that everything happens for a reason, just really hurt us financially for a while, but as you stated it actually did make us MUCH stronger, so this "round 2" of house hunting should actually come to us w/ a more broad perspective... XOXO ;)

memestreasures @jcradd hi :) I own Memes :) great pics :) I have seen lately some really sloppy stitching on authentic bags even in the boutique. It's a shame how little they pay attention to quality control now. It makes it so hard to tell if a bag is a low quality authentic or high quality replica. It's almost like they are starting to meet in the middle. Older bags def are more consistent on their beautiful stitching

I see sellers who list a purse & it'll say something like "I have this same item listed for less if you want to buy it on the M app." I don't sell on here yet but I assume it has something to do with % taken by company. Just seems odd to list on one site but direct people to another. It's scary that there are people out there that their full time job is scamming us out of hard earned money. Thanks again for the info.

acquittdapparel @msbfitness you're wrong. LV is made in Spain France and the USA. I'm a licensed certified LV authenticator. I have been so for many years. Please go to an LV store and speak with them about the various locations their products are made. Each location it is made has a different country code for the date code in the LV which will match the LV heat stamp that says made in.

Jan 28Reply

acquittdapparel @msbfitness LV is actually a French company. Lol. It began as the French trunk company. Please do some research. Like 10mins worth. On the LV website before telling people who are qualified they are wrong.

lunchshopper Thank you for your posts! I was wondering, can a bag produced in 2006 have very little patina if it was kept stored the whole time? Can the inside stamp look even lighter in color on the inside? The bag I am considering looks like it has brand new vachetta on the stamp. Thanks!

thorn4 Hi, thank you for the information, very helpful.☺ This is why I've been so skeptical of purchasing LV not knowing how to decipher the real /fake.

Feb 05Reply

lissay I sold a LV petite bucket bag on Poshmark that I bought from a friend. I know enough to believe that it was authentic. Just to be sure I had it authenticed by Carol Diva. When it actually sold Posh returned it to me stating that they could not authenticate it. When I questioned them about it they told me that two of their "luxury experts" thought it was real and two did not. So to be cautious they cancelled the sale and returned it to me. I'm frustrated because now I'm stuck with it.

ninergirl49 @sallyh313 date code is under the pocket flap

Feb 13Reply

hilleliza Hello, just as an FYI, I was gifted a fake bag that exhibited all the "real" signs as you have pointed them out here. Honestly, the absolute only way to know if an LV is fake is to look at the date code. That is the tried and true way.

Feb 15Reply

hilleliza @lissay just chiming in. I once brought a bag in to LV for a repair and one of their staffers wouldn't process it as they thought it was fake. [Told me their hardware is laser engraved or whatever.] Well, completely upset over how it was handled, I took it to another LV in the mall that same day. It was immediately accepted. Took a month, but it was shipped, processed, repaired, etc with no concerns. What I'm trying to say is that even LV sometimes doesn't know what they're talking about.

Feb 15Reply

lissay @hilleliza wow. Thanks for sharing that story. The final word I got from Posh was that the main bag may be authentic but the attached pouch was dubious. It is very obvious that bag and pouch are original to each other. Crazy!

mpenate5 Hi I was wondering if you can please help me. I bought a lv bag here and not sure if it is real. It looks real but I just notice that the lady that sold me the bag has another profile and selling fake lv wallets.

debraboyd Jcradd I'm having a hard time here and need some help if you can, I just bought shoes but posh won't let me put in the address where I want them sent. What can I do?

May 22Reply

acquittdapparel @debraboyd address entry occurs before purchase of anything. You cant change it after purchase.

May 22Reply

debraboyd @jcradd it wouldn't let me change it before purchase either, I think it's because posh uses the address affiliated with credit card.

fashionfinds25 This is awesome. I hope it gets seen a lot. I'm so sick of seeing these scammers on here. I know it's illegal to sell this crap but I also think Posh should also suspend the accounts of buyers who willing purchase fakes.

belladonna1005 Hi, I just bought a LV Papillon 30 that was listed on here, but we did deal on EBay. Purse looks great but the straps seem to be the same exact leather that the purse interior is lined with instead of vachetta. Have you ever heard of this? It is from France April 2004.

lindsey_weems @shelpen I flag everything that is fake! I learned the hard way also- one scammer started posting very ugly things on my Posh closet and I had to report her and block her. What scares me is that I believe that Posh passes some fakes through as authentic. Ugh!

caycemaples9 hey there, any chance you can help me identify a real bag i've purchased if I make a listing? i didn't purchase it through here, but the heat stamp is such as the one youve shown here that is fake.. everything else is spot on though.. I just don't want to lose all that money if it is indeed fake :(
