4. Coin purse text
The letters in all of the lines of text are too thin, as they don’t have perfectly curved and perfectly straight-shaped sticks to craft the letters.

5. Coin purse stitching
The fake threads are crooked. They’re not placed straight.

6. Belt

On the other hand, the authentic bag has its strap’s “LOUIS VUITTON” text looking thicker and wider than the fake bag’s text.

9. Coin purse shape
The fake bag has an overall shape looking narrower than the authentic bag’s shape.

10. Pochette shape
The fake bag is folded, for a bit, and the difference between it and the authentic bag is actually in the materials.
The authentic bag uses quality leather which wouldn’t get into that narrow shape only if the bag would be forced to be folded that much.
Fake bags usually have worse materials in order to be crafted.
Such flaws as easy folding can occur in most cases of replica bags.
11. Monogram
The flowers and the “LV” classic logo on the fake bag are improperly shaped.
The flowers and the “LV” classic logo are too thin and small when compared to the authentic pieces’ details, which are thicker and bigger.
Shortlist: How to tell a fake Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette
Inspect the interior label of the bag, paying attention to text and stitching alignment. Fake bags often have improperly weighted text and stitching.
Verify the exterior label for proper font weighting, kerning, and positioning of the text, as replica LV Pochette bags tend to display these inaccuracies.
Examine the top stitching on the outer label; genuine Louis Vuitton bags usually have well-positioned and appropriately sized stitching, unlike fake bags.
Analyze the inscriptions inside the coin purse, looking for thin and poorly kerned text, which is a common trait of fake bags.
Check the stitching on the coin purse, comparing it to genuine bags. Fake bags often have smaller, boxy, and thicker stitching.
Briefly review the text on the strap; authentic bags generally feature a bold and adequately spaced “LOUIS VUITTON” text, unlike thinner and narrower text found on fakes.
Inspect the keychain engravings, as replica bags tend to display thin and inadequate text on hardware details.
Examine the hardware details for shine; fake bags often have overly shiny hardware compared to the more subtle shine of genuine bags.
Verify the shape of the coin purse from the side; replicas may have a narrower overall shape compared to authentic bags.
Check the bottom side of the bag for creasing and folding issues caused by subpar materials, a common problem with fake bags.
Assess the size and thickness of the Monogram print; replicas frequently feature smaller and thinner elements compared to authentic items.
