Louis Vuitton Hardware Comparison: Fake Vs Authentic Part III
I compared the Louis Vuitton studs replica Vs authentic yesterday here.
Louis Vuitton Neverfull doesn’t even has a ring hardware. So I can only compare the studs. I borrowed a fake Louis Vuitton mahina XXL from my sister today. Here are fake Vs real again …
Here is a photo of a golden ring from a fake Louis Vuitton mahina bag. In the lower part of the ring you can see there are some very tiny holes, it is like the pores on our skin.

Here is a photo of a light golden ring from a real Louis Vuitton Palermo PM. The authentic hardware is POLISH. It is like models’ faces on skincare ads: polish and poreless.

Here is a side-by-side photo. When comparing them side by side, you will see the noticeable difference is the color of the hardware: the fake one is more golden and the authentic one is in a lighter golden tone.


Hi!!! I have to say your tips are so useful! Thank you for posting this, I used to own a LV unfortunately it broke ( it was quite old ) but at the moment I don’t think I can purchase an authentic one… since you are so good at spotting all this details I was wondering if you knew a website where I could purchase a very good replica,pls let me know. Thanks !!!!!
