So, you’re thinkin’ about buying a wristlet online? Yeah, I get it, easier than trekking to a fancy store. But lemme tell ya, that’s where the fakes are lurkin’. See, only Louis Vuitton sells their stuff on their official website (louisvuitton.com) and in their actual, real-life stores. Anywhere else? Red flag city, population: fake bags.
I’ve seen some horror stories, man. Like, the size number on the leather isn’t even centered? Seriously? That’s like, elementary school craft project level bad. Or the “LOUIS” print has a wonky “S”? LOL. Come on, people! The real ones are supposed to be perfect, that’s kinda the point of paying a bajillion dollars, right?
And don’t even get me started on the “dupes” floating around. I mean, yeah, a $20 “LV dupe” sounds tempting, but let’s be real, it’s gonna look like a $20 bag. It’ll probably fall apart after a week, and everyone will know it’s not the real deal. You might as well just carry a paper bag.
I saw this article about fake Virgil Abloh sneakers and how the packaging booklets are a giveaway. I mean, who even checks the BOOKLETS? Apparently, the fake-makers are skimping on EVERYTHING.
So, how do you *actually* tell if a Louis Vuitton wristlet is fake? Well, like I said, the easiest way is to just buy it from the official store. But if you’re shopping around (and I totally understand wanting a deal!), pay attention to the details. Check the stitching, the leather, the hardware. Is it all perfect? Does it feel expensive? If something seems off, it probably is.
Honestly, sometimes it’s just a gut feeling. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I mean, I saw one online that was being advertised as “louis vuitton wristlet fake for sale” like, are they even trying to hide it? And if they are upfront about it being fake, then that’s ok, if that’s what you are looking for.
