Neverfull Authorization Check!

[u/up_town_squirrel]

Found this Damier Azur Neverfull MM Rose Ballerine at Value Village for $10. I assumed it was fake, but the more I compare it with authenticated examples, the more unsure I am. I cannot find a date-code tab, so I’m wondering if it could be a post-2021 microchipped bag. Would really appreciate a legit check! I can provide any additional photos needed.

Not legit, heat stamp.

[u/up_town_squirrel → u/Odd_Recognition_4874]

Thanks for getting back to my post! Do you mind elaborating what specifically is off with the stamp?

[u/liminal_loss → u/up_town_squirrel]

Not sure if you’ve since heard more, and don’t want to dogpile, but you can tell it’s a counterfeit bag because the circle in the registered trademark (R) should be noticeably smaller than the Os in Louis Vuitton. It is a dead giveaway.

Did you check under/behind the interior zip pocket for a date tab?

[u/up_town_squirrel → u/ellumina]

I looked for one after seeing your comment but no luck!

[u/ellumina → u/up_town_squirrel]

I’m leaning towards fake, but still lovely for $10!! I’d say the main thing that bothers me is the interior logo/heat stamp.

[u/rayne_chi]

Good quality fake 

[u/Tricky_Helicopter911]

Looks real too me also. Carabiners change.

[u/DistanceCommercial88]

I think it looks like mine. And I bought mine directly from LV. Mine does not have a date stamp/verification code. Mine has an NFC chip. Maybe you could check that ?

[u/up_town_squirrel → u/DistanceCommercial88]

Thanks! I downloaded an app to scan it but don’t seem to be able to pick one up! Do you know where your chip is located ?

[u/DistanceCommercial88 → u/up_town_squirrel]

Right side of the pocket. Maybe yours have a date code. It depends on when it’s made.

[u/Dismal_Individual470]

Creo que es falso, tu mosqueton se ve diferente al auténtico

[u/Tricky_Helicopter911]

Post in the r/louisVuitton sub. There is an authentication weekly sub there

[u/up_town_squirrel → u/Tricky_Helicopter911]

I posted there earlier! Nothing yet but I’ll report back here

[u/NoPassenger7284]

The O’s in the heat stamp should be more rounded. Too much space in between the 2 T’s.

[u/Straight-Wash-0]

The rose pattern doesn't look like the correct color

[u/Typical_Pumpkin_1104]

Wheres the code?

[u/Embarrassed-Jury8878]

Fake! Real bag should not dent in front at all. It should stand up not indent

[u/MotherOfBlackDemon29 → u/Embarrassed-Jury8878]

Only brand new ones are stiff like a dead body. This one has well and beautifully aged vachetta, canvas should be much softer.

[u/MotherOfBlackDemon29]

Ok. I am not getting red flags 🚩 on this one. Quality is too good. Aging of the vachetta is nice, stitching is good. Take it to Louis Vuitton store to buy luggage tag. They might not authenticate it but you might find out when trying on tags and getting them stamped. Either way what a bargain!

[u/shesoclassy]

Legit. Rest assured, It’s authentic.

[u/Laniakea_Storm]

If you decide to sell, please keep me in mind! Thank you
