Louis Vuitton Bag Authentication Guide

How to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags

To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags is to look at the inscription found on the exterior leather tab and on the interior side of our bag – the fake LV waist bags never have their inscriptions at the right thickness, as well as their stitching is commonly either too thick or too thin when compared to the real deal. The quality of an authentic LV Bumbag will always be better than the replica bag’s quality.

Step 1: Authentic vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag strap inscription

As for the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are going to focus on the exterior strap and its inscription.

Just as we’ve previously mentioned, we consider this exterior strap’s text as one of the most reliable ways to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, and so, this is why we are starting the guide with this step.

First things first, let’s have a look at the reference fake vs real Louis Vuitton Bumbag image linked below.

In the image with the Louis Vuitton Bumbag real vs fake bags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has a few flaws.

Beginning with the stitching lines found at the top and at the bottom sides of the strap, you can see in the fake vs real Louis Vuitton Bumbag image above how the fake bag has its stitching too thin and too long.

On the other hand, the threads found on the legitimate bag are thicker and shorter than the ones on the fake strap.

Moving on to the actual strap’s text, you can see how the fake bag has its registered trademark “®” symbol looking really thin.

The authentic Louis Vuitton waist bag has its “®” symbol thicker, as it fits deeper into the strap.

At the same time, looking at the replica bag’s “®” symbol, you can see how its letter “R” has the bottom right leg too long, and therefore, the letter is not centred.

Back to the authentic Louis Vuitton fanny-pack, you can see how its letter “R” is perfectly shaped, therefore being centred in the middle of the circle.

Up next, the flaw in both the “LOUIS VUITTON”  and the “PARIS” text present on the fake bag is that they are too thin, with the exception of a letter.

That exception is the letter “S” in the word “PARIS” which is too thick on the fake strap’s text.

Talking about the authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag, it is visible how its “LOUIS VUITTON” and the “PARIS” texts are of the same thickness, which is higher than the thickness of the text on the fake bag.

With this being said for the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, let’s move on to the next method.

Step 2: Verify the tab with the classic Louis Vuitton inscription on your bumbag

Going to the second way on how to authenticate Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are now going to look at the fake vs real Bumbag LV bags for their inscription on the extra tab attached to the bag.

This is yet another tab with the classic inscription that we’ve met at the previous step, but keep in mind, that these are the best ways to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags.

Now, let’s have a look at the image containing the fake vs real Louis Vuitton Bumbags linked below.

authentic vs fake louis vuitton bumbag

In the image with the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its text looking better on this tab rather than the one from the previous text on the strap.

This tab has its text looking better on the fake bag, but still, not as good as the legitimate item.

That is because the replica Louis Vuitton fanny-pack has all three of its lines of text looking too thin.

Yet again, the authentic Louis Vuitton waist bags have their three lines of text thicker and more defined than those found on the fake bag.

Step 3: Look at the stitching at the top of the exterior tab of your LV Bumbag

Since at the previous step of the guide on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton fanny-packs we were talking about the exterior tab, this time we are going to look at the stitching at the top of it.

In most cases, the fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags have their stitching at the wrong thickness and length.

In the image with the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its stitching too thin.

Not only that, but the fake bag also has its stitching at the top of the label crooked, as it is angled too much.

On the other hand, the authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag has its stitching placed on a straight line, without being crooked or misplaced.

An extra piece of information related to the previous step is that the “LOUIS VUITTON” text on this fake bag’s label is also too thin and that the legit LV waist bag has its text thicker.

Step 4: Real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag bag interior square label

As for the fourth method on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are going to move side the bag, and we are going to have a look at the same text and stitching, but in a different format.

What we are going to look at for the fourth step of the guide on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags is the square label on the interior side of the two bags.

how to legit check louis vuitton bumbag

In the image with the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its four lines of text at the wrong thickness.

Just as we’ve previously mentioned, an authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag will always have all of its letters at the same thickness, without no exception.

And with this being said, the difference made between the real and fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags is that the fake bags commonly have their text at different thicknesses.

At the same time, another flaw within the court lines of text on the fake bag is that their text is too big, while the text on the authentic bag is smaller.

If we look at the stitching job done all around the square label, you can see how the fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag has its stitching too thick in the bottom right corner.

Besides, the fake bag also has its stitching on the right lateral side of the square label too thin.

Back at the authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag, it is visible how it has its stitches at the same thickness.

Now, let’s move on to the fifth method on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags and see what waist for us right there.

A quick mention:

  • The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
  • The next few steps are still reliable methods…
  • … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

Step 5: Look at the product ID code tab inside your Louis Vuitton waist bag

As for the fifth method on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are going to look at the product ID code inside the fake vs real Bumbag Louis Vuitton bags and check out the difference between the two items.

As you may know already, we are first going to look at the reference real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag image linked below.

The main flaw with the replica Louis Vuitton Bumbag is that its letters and numbers in the code stamp are too thin.

On the other hand, the authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag has its code stamp looking thicker and more defined than the one on the replica bag.

Yet another flaw visible on the fake bag is the colour of the tab: the fake tab is too light, while the authentic tab is coloured darker, looking more like real leather rather than the fake bag’s tab.

Step 6: Check the stitching on the interior side of the belt of your bag

Proceeding to the fifth method on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are going to look at the belt of the Louis Vuitton bags, and we will check out the stitching on the interior side of the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag belts.

In the image with the fake vs real Louis Vuitton Bumbags above, we have pointed out how the fake bag has its stitching looking too chunky and too bulky.

On the other hand, the authentic bag has stitching that looks thinner, smaller and less bulky when compared to the fake belt’s stitching.

Step 7: Verify the “LOUIS VUITTON” text on the buckle of your belt

As for the seventh method on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are still going to talk about the belts of the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, but this time, we will have a look at the buckle inscription.

In the image containing the real vs replica Louis Vuitton bags above, you can see how the fake bag has its “LOUIS VUITTON” text fit too deep into the metal.

Since the text fits too deep into the metal buckle, the fake LV bag has its text looking too thick.

Back to the authentic Louis Vuitton Bumbag, you can see how its “LOUIS VUITTON” text is thinner, as it is fits less deep into the metal than the fake bag’s text.

Step 9: Inspect the pattern all over the Louis Vuitton Bumbag

For the ninth step of the guide on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are going to talk about the classic LV monogram found all around the real vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags.

In the image with the genuine vs fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags above, we have pointed out how the fake LV waist bag has all three sorts of flaws and the “LV” text looks too thick.

Step 10: Analyze the shininess of the hardware details on your bag

For the tenth and last method how spotting fake Louis Vuitton Bumbags, we are now going to look at the fake vs real Louis Vuitton Bumbags for their hardware details, specifically for the shininess.
