1. Material and craftsmanship details

1. Monogram Canvas
2. 
   

• Text and gloss: The authentic canvas has a thick and slightly hard texture, and the coating is even, giving it a matte texture.The imitation may be too soft or reflective.
• 
  
• Pattern symmetry: The LV presbyterian pattern is strictly aligned at the joints (especially at the junction of the wrapper and the side), and imitations are often misaligned.
• 
  
• Edge treatment: The edges of the canvas should be beeswax-colored edge sealed, smooth and burrs-free, and the imitation may be reddish in color or uneven coating.
• 
  
• 
  
• Metal Accessories
• 
  
• Material and engraving: Zipper heads, buckles and other metal parts are brass-plated, with clear and sharp lettering, and the font complies with LV standards (such as the font ratio of "LOUIS VUITTON").
• 
  
• Zipper Brand: Genuine EVA uses YKK zipper (some years are customized zippers), and the back of the pull teeth should be engraved with brand.Replicas may use cheap zippers or imprints to blur.
• 
  
• 
  
• Leather Part
• 
  
• Hands and trim: Natural cowhide material, the new bag is light beige, oxidizing over time to form a dark amber patina.The imitation may use dyed leather, and the color is unnatural.

• Imprinting LOGO: The "Louis Vuitton Paris" imprint on the body leather must meet the following characteristics:
• 
  
• The letter "O" is a perfect circle;
• 
  
• The bottoms of "L" and "V" do not overlap;

• 
  
• Date code interpretation
• 
  
• The first 2 letters represent the origin (such as FL is France and SD is the United States), and the last 4 digits represent the production week/year (such as "1122" = Week 11, 2022).
• 
  
• Note: Before 2007, it was 3-digit number (such as "113" = Week 11 of 2003), and after 2010, some batches were changed to 6-digit codes.

• 
  
• 
  
• Certificate and Notes

• LV does not provide a "certificate of authenticity" and only sells documents.If the attached "certification card" is marked with a handwritten code, it must be a fake product.
