How to tell if your backpack is real or fake
To spot a fake Supreme x Louis Vuitton backpack, check the text on the label stitched inside. Fake manufacturers never manage to get the label right, and the quality of the replica doesn’t compare to the retail item.
Have a look at the image in the first step for further explanation.

The stitching all around the label is too thick on the fake Supreme x LV backpack.
The registered trademark “®” symbol at the top is too big and bolded on the fake.
The “LOUIS” and “VUITTON” prints are too big and thin on the fake backpack.
Also, the “LOUIS VUITTON” text uses a different font from the authentic one.
The word “PARIS” is too thick on the fake label.
The letter “S” in the “PARIS” text is crooked on the counterfeit item.
