How to tell if a Valentino bag is real
The interior “VALENTINO” stitched label can instantly tell if your Valentino bag is real. If all the letters have the same thickness, your bag is 99% authentic.
1. Label
Authentique : Very much thinner logo and inscriptions.
Faux : Thicker logo and text.

2. V Logo
Authentique : Thicker “V” symbol — also less reflective of light.

3. Flap
Open the bag and look at the flap on the interior side.
Authentique : Thicker and shorter stitches.
Faux : Thinner stitches. They’re also too long.

4. Engraving
Authentique : Thinner stitching and text.
Faux : Thicker, more solid stitches and inscriptions.
5. Tilting
Authentique : Perfectly on the ground on both sides.
Faux : The bag tends tot angle to the left — hence, the right side is floating.
Both bags are empty in the picture above so as to keep the comparison fair. This way, you cans ee how the fake bag angle too much to the left side, even when empty.
6. Strap
For most bags, the strap is a chain.
However, it’s also common seeing leather on authentic bags.
Authentique : Light color, reflecting any light landing on top of the chain.
Faux : The spikes are not as reflective of light a s they should be.
7. Spikes
Authentique : Shiner spikes, but less light-reflective buckle.
Faux : The spikes are too dark, while the buckle is too light and reflects too much light.
