Testing FAKE Louis Vuitton Bumbags – Expert Guide (2025)

Last Updated on styczeń 7, 2025 by Ch David

Our expert team of authenticators has another guide for you: Louis Vuitton Bumbag. Commonly known as the Louis Vuitton Fanny Pack.

Let’s see how to tell if your Louis Vuitton bag is real or fake.

How to spot a fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag

The best method to spot a fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag is to examine the engraving on the strap. Fakes often have inscriptions with incorrect thickness, and their stitching can be either too thick or too thin.

1. Strap

• Autentyczny:
  • Stitching: Thick, short threads on the strap.
  • “®” Symbol: Thicker and deeper embedded into the strap, with a centered and well-shaped “R”.
  • Text: Uniform thickness in both “LOUIS VUITTON” and “PARIS”.
• Fałszywy:
  • Stitching: Thin, long threads on the strap.
  • “®” Symbol: Thin, with an “R” that has an overly long bottom right leg, making it off-center.
  • Text: Generally too thin, except for an anomalously thick “S” in “PARIS”.

• Fałszywy:

  • Stitching: Uniform in thickness all around the square label.
• Fałszywy:
  • Text: Exhibits variable thickness and is generally larger than on the authentic bag.

• Fałszywy:
  • Floral and “LV” Designs: Exhibit a thicker presentation, which detracts from the refined look exhibited by genuine pieces.

Krótka lista: Check your Bumbag

These quick tips can help you spot a fake Louis Vuitton Bumbag:

1. Examine the strap; fake bags often have thin text and improperly shaped stitching.
2. Verify the inscription on the leather tab; replicas commonly have text at the wrong thickness.
3. Check the stitching at the top of the leather tab; fake bags may have stitching that’s too thick or too thin.
4. Inspect the interior square label; fake LV bags tend to have text and stitching at the wrong thickness.
5. Examine the date code’s tab inside the bag; fake Bumbags often have thin text and light-colored tabs.
6. Look at the stitching on the interior side of the belt; replica bags may have overly chunky stitching.
7. Examine the ‘LOUIS VUITTON’ text on the buckle; fake bags may have text that’s too thick.
8. Authenticate the ‘LV’ text engraved on the zipper; replicas may have text engraved too deeply into the metal.
9. Check the pattern around the bag; fake bags may have three types of flowers and thick ‘LV’ text.
