::squinting:: Sorry... I can't see anything in those pics. Is that the inside of the box? Or is that a dust bag? The dust bag wouldn't look like that... it would be brown or camel. And it wouldn't say anything about "Made in ...".

Key chain looks real but box look so weird. hard to tell

Here's a picture of an authentic one with a dust bag.

Here's another one... with a glimpse of the box.

Baglady101 - My guess is that its a fake. I'm not really experienced with LV keychains, but I know that box can't be right. Nowhere would it say "Made in Paris" and it wouldn't have a sticker on the outside of the box like that.
If you do a search on ebay, you'll find that tons of those keychains have sold for less than $50. And they all have boxes just like that one.

Awesome thanks for your help guys i'll wait till i go to Melbourne this wed ...and i'll go to the actual louis vuitton store. I'd rather pay abit more and know it's real. I'll post a pic on friday when i get back, hopefully with the keyring lol

yeah im not a keychain expert.. kind of hard to tell from the pics, but its better to be safe than sorry.

so what color are you going to get?

baglady101 · January 5th, 2008, 09:17 PM

I'm going to get it in pearl, i do like it in rasberry but pearl will match more :) I might keep hunting on ebay to see if i can find one before i go to melbourne, i might try american ebay.

The KeyChain above is a FAKE, notice how it's missing the Louis Vuitton Clasp, that the authentic ones below have??! (It has the round hook thing, but it's missing the clasp hook). That box is waay off as well...

Good Luck on getting/finding the Keychain... I like Pearl one too!

good eye viva. i didnt even notice that.

^^^ LOL! Viva, you're right! I wasn't even paying attention to that part... just the box.

Zombiegirl · January 6th, 2008, 08:17 AM

It is a Fake. The box is wrong and it should have 2 ways to attach it. A round key holder and the clip for attaching as a bag charm.
I HATE that they are faking the keyholders now!!!!!! Jeeze!

Zombiegirl · January 6th, 2008, 12:47 PM

Oh yeah I forgot...just look at the 2 clasps on my avatar. It should have both of those. HTH!
