yes, some of the bags are took apart so the inside can be seen. One very good fake had cardboard to make it harder like the Louis Vuitton bag so when it was took apart it was easy to tell that it was fake. You are right, some stitching is counted but by lots of people. Even repairs are sometimes inspected at head office to make sure. But always a fake is a fake and will never ever look exactly like the real Louis Vuitton. All the fakes at head office get incinerated after being examined.

Re: Louis Vuitton Handbag: Please help authenticate purse!
The pochette looks authentic to me.  I agree though, a bit steep in price for the amount of wear on the bag.

Re: Louis Vuitton Handbag: Please help authenticate purse!
Anything else besides the tag that would indicate its a fake, just by looking?

I thought the colors looked a little off myself.  The bag is very convincing though... but I'm pretty sure it is fake as well.

Hello, yes you are right but the alignment of the back monograms is also wrong. |

Re: Louis Vuitton Handbag: Please help authenticate purse!
Hi guys, I am having zero luck in finding anything on ebay that is real.
