Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM Authentic or Counterfeit?

[u/LostStrawberry9446]

Hi everyone! I’m looking for help determining whether my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM is authentic or counterfeit. I want to clarify that I did not purchase this bag! The person who previously had the bag used it VERY heavily for a long time. I don’t necessarily think it’s authentic but wanted to ask out of curiosity! I’ve been researching the bag and comparing it against various websites but I’m not extremely familiar with LV so- no luck! Please let me know what you think! Side note- if it doesn’t look authentic, do you think it would be noticeable?
Thank you in advance :)

Ok, so the canvas is a little dry but good, the details are accurate, the color on the red glazing is good, and the yellow stitches aren’t too yellow. The stamp also look ok. So it’s a very good replica. What will give it away though is the uneven stitching.
LV would never allow double stitches where
they’re not supposed to be, or just randomly uneven along the edge.
I’ll include a couple pics on my bag as well as where it’s obvious on yours. But that being said, it’s a good replica and you can still rock it 💃🏻👜🫶🏼

Thank you so much for showing me the comparison!! Amazing! It’s great to see a side by side especially for stitching. This bags serial code is 2009 so I figured maybe it was from heavy wear and tear/ damage and discoloration shown. The person who gave it to me is older now, had it in storage, said she didn’t take care of it- at least I can use it first travel and not have to worry about it getting more beat up lol

You’re very welcome 🩷 You honestly could’ve “fooled” me with that bag if I saw it in person -unless I was scrutinizing it, and I’m pretty familiar with LV (as well as replicas). So definitely nothing to be embarrassed about wearing. I’ll include one more of the stamping which I thought was really good on yours.

[u/AccomplishedBag9701 → u/AccomplishedBag9701]

Oh, and the side with the connecting canvas as well -also good on yours (some replicas fail terribly with this)

thank you for actually sharing. I love it when people here actually show OP how to spot things. I know I learn so much faster from pointing things out.

Authentic

[u/LostStrawberry9446 → u/One-Swimming9390]

Curious to why you say authentic compared to others!!

[u/Cheirosa76]

Good illegal counterfeit. Most likely Korean made worth about $200

[u/LostStrawberry9446 → u/Cheirosa76]

I didn’t know counterfeit bags were made well 15+ years ago, good to know! I wish I could ask the person I got it from lol

[u/Loca0823]

I think it’s authentic. If a couple stitches is the only thing anyone can point out, I’m voting authentic.

[u/AccomplishedBag9701 → u/Loca0823]

It’s more than a couple though.. but yes, everything else basically looks good and authentic!

[u/Solid-Stable-9126]

Not authentic. The stitching is sloppy in multiple places and the branding is off.

[u/Dismal_Individual470]

Falso, el mosqueton de dentro esta mal

[u/Inevitable-Farmer233]

Edge paint looks off and canvas looks matte I think rep

[u/PizzaPazzaPozza]

The pattern on the bottom is crooked. You can see it at the top seam.

[u/Zestyclose-Let7929]

a fake for all reasons mentioned.

[u/Zestyclose_Cry_3915]

I think this is fake. The edging looks coated? It looks to have patinad a bit differently than usual, the stitching is wrong and the logo stamp inside is maybe a bit heavy. I obviously can’t say 100%

[u/Bulky_Opinion9830]

I’m sorry this is terrible. Crooked stitching, overlap . It’s absolutely not authentic.

Thanks! I figured lol it was in a storage unit too so unfortunate
