this are some tips:

look at the interior part of your bag
Examine the bag's zipper pull. While engraving zipper pulls is popular with counterfeiters, there should not be an “LV” monogram symbol engraved on the zipper pull of a French Company bag. In fact, nothing should be engraved on the zipper pull.
Look closely at any metal hardware. Authentic "French Company for Louis Vuitton" pieces have rivet heads that are plain rather than embossed.

Look for a date code on the inside of the bag.
