How to tell if a Louis Vuitton Métis is real

To tell if your Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis is real, check if all the letters on the interior label have the same font weight. Fakes have specific letters thicker than others.

1. Inteiror label

• The threads on all sides of the label at way thicker and bulkier than the authentic.
• Al lines of text on the replica Louis Vuitton Metis bag are too thick.
• The “® / LOUIS VUITTON / PARIS / made in” fits too deep inside the bag. As a consequence, the characters look too thick.

Helpfulness: The bag’s country of manufacturing doesn’t affect the thickness of the text on the label.

Whether your bag’s interior labels state that it was made in France, Italy, Spain or other countries, the thickness of the characters should be just like the one in the authentic example above.

• Of course, little variations (but very little) should occur from one authentic bag to another.
• The text should bevery close to the one in the legitimate Pochette above.

2. Handler

• The three lines of text are way thinner than the ones on the authentic bag’s handler.
• The text on the fake Louis Vuitton Metis bag is also stretched out, as it is too tall on the fake bag.
• The fake stitches are too small and thick.

3. Strap

• The replica Pochette’s stitching is way thinner than the authentic

The authentic threads are thicker and more solid than the fake.

4. Buckle

• The “LV” logo in the circle at the top of the buckle is too thin.
• The “® / LOUIS VUITTON / PARIS” text fits too deep into the metal.

The genuine “LV” encircled logo is thicker and more visible than the fake bag’s logo.

The real one also fits less deeply into the metal.
