Louis Vuitton Hardware Comparison: Fake Vs Authentic III

We all know Louis Vuitton bags don’t’ have cutted logos. So when I put these photos, you should know which one is authentic and which one is fake.

authentic:

replica:

But don’t think all replica bags have cutted logos. It just happened to have this fault in this bag. Here is another photo from the same replica bag.

The monograms are perfectly lined.

For a replica bag, there must be some cutted monogram somewhere in the bag.

I recently compared the monogram canvas of a fake and a real Louis Vuitton bag here. Now I will compare the hardware here.

Before I compare two bags side by side I know the major difference between a fake and a real is the hardware. I bought a replica denim monogram pleaty a few years ago. After a few use, the golden clasp in front was scratched. The golden paint was faded. I never buy a replica thereafter.

I passed on my tips to my friend. She is very smart so she bought Neverfull. Neverfull has the fewest hardware among all Louis Vuitton bags. Louis Vuitton charge a lot for its hardware. A large Neverfull GM is just 450 Euro, this can explain hardware is expensive in LV bags.

Here is a photo of a fake and a real LV stud.

Did you see the difference? The authentic hardware is of very light golden color. The fake hardware is of a more golden color. It is very hard to tell authenticity by looking at just Louis Vuitton studs, because they are quite small, it is hard to notice any scratch.

This Neverfull has no hardware except for the small Louis Vuitton studs. Its design made it hard to be spotted. I will compare another replica with more hardware the next time..

I recently bought a Monogram Canvas Palermo PM from a Louis Vuitton boutique in Paris. My friend has a Monogram canvas neverfull PM replica. So I put the replica and the authentic together to take some comparison photos.

The one on the left is a so-called 10 star replica. The one on the right is authentic.

From the first photo, the real LV monogram is larger and the color of monogram is more yellowish.

One more close-up. Honestly from this photo, the logos look almost the same. If you really need to tell the difference, then maybe the real one (right) has the more yellowish monogram.

It is hard to tell its authenticity by looking at its monogram canvas. But it is true that the real LV’s canvas is very soft. The canvas on the replica is more stiff.

I will compare the hardware and stitching in coming posts.
