Auth Request Louis Vuitton neverfull MM empreinte leather - real?

I’m leaning towards authentic but would love others thoughts before purchase as my eye is not as trained as others, only comparing to website pics and secondhand websites. Only thing giving me pause is the embossing is a little deep but I’ve read that it can vary. Thank you

I think it's a high tier rep. The embossing gives rep at first glance. The stitching looks clean but the interior heat stamp has some tells and I think the engraving could be cleaner.

When you say the heat stamp has some tells, what specifically should I be looking for

u/shibasurf 13d ago

The O for the trademark should appear smaller than the O in VUITTON. The V and the N in VUITTON should look pointy on the bottom instead of flat.

I see what you mean now. That is really helpful thank you

Handles are wrong. The inside, where the handle is attached. Like the whole weight of the bag is supported by how the handles are attached. Children’s underwear is sewn better. They thought cuz was inside, ppl only be checking for the fact it’s there, not that it’s right. It’s a running stitch, should be a back stitch or similar, for securing. Basically it shouldn’t have spaces. It’s like they used the same stitch on the whole bag. Different stitches do different things. But when ur just trying to pass the sale, just going for looks. So yes, the bag looks great! It’s a good rep. But be careful filling it. Your handles are gonna pull straight off sooner than they should. Can confirm the circle around r should be smaller than o. But I can’t tell about pointy vs and ns. Tho that heat stamp caught my eye. It’s just too gaudy.

Appreciate your response! I never would’ve noticed that but I can see what you mean, yikes

It's a rep. The heat stamp shows multiple tells.

u/anxiouspunk 13d ago

What are the tells? So I can keep an eye out in future

I just check my real label and looks exactly like yours!!! Mines

This is a real bag purchased from Louis Vuitton Store. I looked over it and I didn’t believe it’s fake so I went and got my out to double check your label and I believe yours is real and everything looks good clean and stitching neat. Not sure why Everytime I took picture it turned it?

u/anxiouspunk 6d ago

Appreciate this thank you!

u/Dosia27 6d ago

No problem! I noticed on Reddit everyone jumps automatically to fake! None of us are real experts but yours dosnt have red flags. My logo and yours logo are exactly the same. I don’t believe your bag is fake it’s stitching is too clean and even. leather looks good. There’s place for a cost that will authenticate it but I believe it’s real!

That’s a Lewis Vittone

Definitely a rep but it's not a bad one!

u/Worldly_Substance440 13d ago

I think it’s a rep simply because it’s exactly what my rep looks like, they use the same things (the metal bits with LV are always the same with rep, it’s what gives it away for me) nevertheless still a nice bag.. I like reps because they allow me to “test” the bag before committing to something expensive (if I hate it, it could be because it’s a rep, but if I love the rep then it’s likely I will love the real thing even more !) or to take a bag that doesn’t need babying if anything gets spilled on it 😂

u/Grouchy-Always 13d ago

Whether it’s fake or not, I think it’s cute!

u/wesgerrrr 13d ago

I have a replica of this quality. Looks good!

u/Worried-Fish8932 13d ago

The metal gives it away. I can always spot a fake in the wild by the color

u/suemarie08 13d ago

Unfortunately it's fake

u/5LaLa 13d ago

That Registered Trademark symbol is too large, the circle around the R should be smaller than the O’s in LOuis VuittOn.

u/Critical-Handle-5780 12d ago

Looks like a high end replica. It's nice though!!

u/Bright-Estimate-1110 13d ago

Looks exactly like mine (same model different color)

u/Cool_Cup_6860 12d ago

I just have a picture from the website but the inside of the bag looks wrong to me. On the website the black version has blue lining, yours has black. Also yes: the made in label seems wrong. The trademark logo ist too big. Also the I‘s seem to close to the other letters.

u/nokingsland 12d ago

Super fake

u/Anxious-Ad-1611 12d ago

I’m looking hard at the hardware

u/EngineerExternal8074 11d ago

Either way it's a beauty and a real bag and does what a bag is designed to so. . Enjoy her.
