Let’s go.

How to tell if a Loewe bag is real

You can tell if a Loewe bag is real if the text on the interior “LOEWE” label has the same thickness for all letters. The same applies to its stitches!

1. Label

• Authentic:
  • Thicker “Made in Spain” text.
  • Every thread is perfectly aligned — also shorter than the fake stitches.
• Fake:
  • Text is too thin.
  • Stitching is crooked and longer than the authentic.

Is it too hard? Reach out to our expert Loewe authenticators:

2. Leather

• Authentic: The leather panels are further away from each other.
• Fake: Smaller gap between the leather panels.

3. Side

• Authentic: The stitching is thinner compared to the replica.
• Fake: Thicker stitches.

4. Pull tab

This tab helps you open and close the bag (it operates the zipper).

• Authentic: Thinner, slimmer stitches compared to the original.
• Fake: Thicker stitches.

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.

5. Handler

• Authentic: Thinner, smaller threads.
• Fake: Thicker stitches, once again.

6. Flap logo

• Authentic: Fit deep into the leather, having a bold look.
• Fake: Not fit as deep as the real one — hence why it looks thinner.

7. Strap

Also known as the belt of your Loewe bag.

• Authentic: Thinner stitches, angled at around 15 degrees.
• Fake: Thicker and straight stitches.

8. Stitching

We’ll look outside the bag — on the leather panels.

• Authentic: Thinner and a bit longer threads.
• Fake: Thick, small, and boxy stitches.

9. Carbine

• Authentic: Thicker, more solid text.
• Fake: “LOEWE” is too thin.

The genuine bag’s text is fit deeper into the metal That’s why it looks thicker than the replica.

10. Dust bag

Both dust bags below are in the same picture.

There is no picture size difference between the two.

• Authentic: Bigger label.
• Fake: Smaller tab.

Also see how the fake dust ba gis black at the top/bottom edges, while the real one is white.
