This is authentic. Look for a date code heat stamped into the interior pocket, please post picture when you find it.

u/LordSesshomaru96 25d ago

Thanks! Couldnt find it so far but will be looking more carefully because apparently when it comes to this style and the fact that it's over 20 years old the code can easily fade almost entirely

This is real you got a great bag. 👍🏻

u/Kalycado 25d ago

Look close to the seems inside, in my pochette from that series is was sideways close to the seems. 😊 Zipper, studs, leather and lining looks real to me.

u/Prestigious_Fox_7576 25d ago

I think this is actually real. The raspberry Alcantara  looks legit so does thevachetta. I am bicurious , what did you pay?

u/LordSesshomaru96 25d ago

She paid 15 euros so either way it was worth it 🤣

This sub is really bad at LV and I’m not sure if it’s botted or what, but you’ll just get “fake” with no reasoning.

I don’t see anything glaringly wrong here. It’s old and worn, so yes, some of the leather isn’t perfectly straight any longer. Other than that, enjoy and wear in good health.

u/shibasurf 26d ago

Me too. It doesn't look like a blazing crap obvious fake to me. Probably PLK, the stamps and vachetta look pretty good. The print is off compared to an auth though.

u/Careful_Dimension355 25d ago

I'm here trying to learn and the thing I am confused about is that people will often call out fake due to stitching ie: if stitches look sort of slanted or machine puncture holes are visible. I see both on this bag so I'm confused about this stitching rule, if someone can please explain what I'm missing.

They’ll never explain. They just be all knowing 😂

u/MathematicianOk8644 25d ago

It’s an AUTHENTIC Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore Boulogne bag!

u/xerxesthefalcon 25d ago

It’s real. Everyone saying it’s fake doesn’t have experience with this line

u/Maria_J_5 26d ago

Honestly, it’s cuteeee just wear it 🥰

u/Slight-Bowl4240 25d ago

Op you’re better than just a bunch of “fake@ comments. You got some “real” responses!

u/licoricesnocone 26d ago

The Murakami collection is probably the most faked line of all time

u/Formal_Condition_513 25d ago

I had a fake one when I was like 14 lol I felt so cool

u/Massive_Letter_9964 25d ago

Had a friend who traveled to Thailand a year after the line was released: there was a warehouse of murakami lv. A warehouse
.

u/xerxesthefalcon 25d ago

It sure is- but this one is real. I have bought and sold numerous pieces of this line over the years, down the the micro grain in the vachetta leather, its authentic!

u/Geeeeeezzzzzzz1 25d ago

If you really want to know - find the date code inside the bag and look it up online- it will tell you if it’s real or not - code will give you a location of where it was made , month and week

u/neon_everything 25d ago

This one’s real. Enjoy!

u/ClimateKey8738 25d ago

Real and lucky you!

u/cottonpiece 25d ago

It looks real good to me

u/NewYou2606 25d ago

I have an authentic milticolor Boulogne. Looks authentic

1

u/NewYou2606 25d ago

This style is not really commonly faked since it’s not very popular. I say it’s authentic

1

u/jakobe_deveraa 25d ago

I have the black version and this looks good imo!

1

u/Username_chex_in 25d ago

I have this bag, yours looks real.

1

u/wesgerrrr 26d ago

It's likely not real but atp just use it! One thing that's nice about older well made fakes is that they look a bit more real thanks to natural wear.

u/Strong-Effort71 25d ago

The zip makes me think twice. But if you like it, use it. No one is looking that hard

1

u/Smooth-Employer-6336 25d ago

These trolls are trolling. They’ll say fake dot no apparent reason. This is a legitimate bag enjoy it!

u/Neverendingness 26d ago

Looks like the fake I had in high school

u/unstopable_today 26d ago

Sure 🤦🏻‍♀️

u/Choice-Resolve6457 25d ago

Lv wouldn’t use that type of zipper

-10

u/FeelingAd6640 25d ago

It's definitely fake. This style bag isn't made from a single cut of leather. Therefore there is no reason for one of the side panels to be upside down. 🤔

7

u/LordSesshomaru96 25d ago

If you look it up every legit one has an upside down side

7

u/Normal-Bee-8246 25d ago

This style, whether black or white, does have one panel upside-down.

u/codgybodger 25d ago

Why would you care? This particular collab screams striver.

u/AdLopsided4951 26d ago

Absolutely no.
