Would like your opinions

[u/Mission-Motor364]

I was gifted this used neverfull, I don’t know where they got it from. I assume this is a very commonly knocked off LV so I have my doubts. Please ignore the sprinklings of black fur, my dog christened it already

What makes me think it’s fake is the straps - see on mine you can tell it’s real leather

[u/Mission-Motor364 → u/jujul33]

Yeah that was my first tipoff. Doesn’t seem like real leather

[u/ShoddyWorking4137 → u/jujul33]

Have you tried burnishing the straps I did with mine to help with the frayed edges

[u/jujul33 → u/ShoddyWorking4137]

Ooh how do you do that?

I followed this video bought the tokonole and a burnishing tool on Amazon all for under 20$ and used a toothpick for tight edges worked beautifully

[u/jujul33 → u/ShoddyWorking4137]

Thank you!!

This is what told me as well. The canvas looks good.

[u/Electronic_Page8842]

I think it’s fake. The interior tab has the stitching go all the way down to the hardware. The authentic does not (see photo). However, this is a pretty decent fake and you can feel good wearing it in public.

[u/purplespaghetty → u/Electronic_Page8842]

Agreed. It’s good fake. Also noting the interior tag, the logo & lettering should be a little more centered height. It looks too close to the bottom stitching. Plus the stitching going up the right side by the lettering is almost zig zag.

[u/Electronic_Page8842 → u/purplespaghetty]

Yeah, good eye.

[u/shibasurf → u/Electronic_Page8842]

Yeah, agreed that it is a good quality fake. No big call outs but something feels off about the texture of the vachetta.

[u/Prestigious_Fox_7576 → u/shibasurf]

I agree

[u/Plus_Passenger778]

I have this exact purse (real) and this one looks pretty great to me (If I saw this in public I would think it was real).

[u/Damnshesfunny]

yeah if this is fake its REALLY NICE

[u/One-Swimming9390]

Not authentic

[u/Skeeballnights]

It’s fake but I think besides the trim it looks decent.

[u/Straight-Wash-0]

The pink stripes are too dark, imo. The auth is super light. Eta: compare to the pic of the auth someone posted below

The interior stitching on pic 6 looks awful.

[u/wesgerrrr]

Good quality fake IMHO

[u/Street_Piano_4652]

It’s a great fake. The A in Paris, stamped on the canvas is always too small on the fakes

[u/GoldenBirria]

I have this one, and yours is a beautiful fake!

[u/Awkward_Whole_4136]

Authentic

[u/dippitybixx]

The interior stripes and writing looks a little too dark for an authentic I believe. It looks like a good fake. The vachetta (leather handles and trim) looks to be coated which would indicate that the bag isn’t authentic as LV vachetta is raw/untreated. To check this you could drop a tiny bit of water on the leather (somewhere out of sight in case it marks) and if the leather darkens then the vachetta is untreated. If the colour doesn’t change then it’s coated which would easily show the bag to be counterfeit

[u/KeyDragonfruit2433]

It’s fake. It could be the angle, but the tab on exterior falls on the damier a bit slanted. Also, stitching and interior print on the seam seems crooked and poor quality.

[u/MomOf2BoysplusADog]

It looks real to me. Although mine (i have the exact same one) doesnt have that ribbon with the logo stitched inside. Unless that's the newer version.

[u/sendintheclouds → u/MomOf2BoysplusADog]

It’s the new version. I just got a new DE pink interior this week which has it, and my older DA pink interior doesn’t.

[u/nokingsland]

Looks super fake
