How to legit check Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag?

• The Tag Method
• The Date Code Method
• The Packaging Method

The Overall Look Method

Let's start with an overall look.

First thing that is very easy to notice is the difference in the shape of the bag. As you can see, the original shape is much "skinnier" on the bottom and gets wider as it goes closer to the upper edge. The fake one does not really replicate the same shape as the original one as it has much straighter corners. The authentic model has curvy sides and the replica failed to copy so.

The Pattern Method

Let's talk about the pattern now. 

The main difference appears in the color. As you can see the original pattern is much lighter, more on the white spectre while the fake one is darker and more on the yellow-side. 

Font of the Louis Vuitton signature is mismatched too. The original one is larger and super centered, while "Louis" on the fake pattern is much smaller than "Vuitton" is. The words are asymmetrically put and the color of letters are darker than they are supposed to.

The Label Method

Even though labels might not seem as important of a detail to identify fake Louis Vuitton, sometimes it can be the main detail showing the flaw of the replica. 

In this case the material the signature is put on is completely different from the authentic model. It is supposed to be matte and darker like shown on the upper picture. Besides that, the font does not really match as the original one is much larger in size and it does not even say "made in France" when the replica model does.

The stitching immediately shows the fakeness of the model. As you can see the authentic model has used much thicker and high-quality thread, the stitches are super tight. On the other hand, the fake thread is super thin, low-quality and the stitches are asymmetrical.

The Handle Attachment Method

The handle attachment that has a size on it is different on both of these pictures.

The original material is matte while the fake one is shiny and glossy which definitely gives it a cheap look.

The font of the number is mismatched too as it is supposed to be thin and taller in height, not bold like shown on the right picture.

Stitching also sells the fake model off as the thread used on the first picture is very high quality and thick too which secures its attachment. On the other hand, the stitching is done asymmetrically with thinner and lower quality thread on the second picture.

The golden hardware has a vibrant color on the original attachment while the fake is full of scratches and is toy-like.

The Buckle Method

This handbag has many details which makes Louis Vuitton Speedy bag authentication easier as replica factories fail to copy each and every detail successfully.

In this case we want you to take a closer look at the golden hardware which has an actual gold-like color. The fake model has tons of scratches and is more on the silver side color-wise than golden.

The color of the button in the middle has been very poorly replicated too alongside the font which is very square-like on the authentic model while the fake one has very rounded letters.

Stitching makes the bag solid, if it's done tightly and not like on the right picture.

The Lock Method

Louis Vuitton is known for its locks.

In this case lock is completely different from the authentic model. First of all, the size. When the lock is too big it has a toy-like look which of course automatically makes it cheap looking. 

Apart from the size, the Louis Vuitton logo appears to be smaller on the original lock.

The Pocket Method

Louis Vuitton Speedy bag legit check might not be as hard if you know where to look. 

Even though pockets might not show up while wearing a bag, by looking at it you can find a flaw that automatically shows the fakeness of the bag. 

In this case the authentic pocket has a darker red color than it appears on the second picture which is more vibrant. 

The authentic frame around the zip has a darker color and matte effect; Not glossy like on the replica.

The Tag Method

Similarly to the pockets, tag does not show up while wearing a bag but might show the major flaws.

In this case the letters are bold and very easy to read on the first picture, while the replica tag has faded-out letters that are smaller in size too.

The overall color of the tag is more vibrant on the original model too.

Cindy Karl

My vintage Gucci bag didn’t have a serial number making it impossible for the average person to know if it was genuine. So happy for the outcome of my genuine handbag. Thanks again.

Splendour Spot

It’s my 3rd time now using their service and I have to say their customer service is the best and got my certificates quite quickly. Highly recommend!

Jack Kay

I was looking for a way to authenticate high quality vintage items and came across LegitGrails. So I sent them several items to authenticate and they were terrific. I had to send additional photos a few time but that gave me more confidence in them!

The Date Code Method

We are about to teach you Louis Vuitton Speedy bag authentication code check.

You can check the table down below which shows the initials of the location. For example, LA0220(Like shown on the picture) would mean that the bag is made in the USA(as LA is one of the initials for the USA) in the second week of 2020. 

How do we determine the week and the year you might ask. In LA0220 1st and 3rd number stand for the week, in this case it is 0 and 2 or 02 which means that it has been made in the second week. 2nd and 4th numbers stand for the year, in this case 20, which means it has been produced in 2020.

Now, let's find why is the fake model falsely made? The code says SA4188 and SA is one of the initials for France, but the tag says that it was made in the USA. This is a very common flaw in the replicas.

Apart from the content, the material used on the fake model is shiny which is supposed to be matte like on the first picture. Font is also supposed to be thin and not bold like on the fake model.

The Packaging Method

This is the last method for today.

Packaging is the very first thing you see, even before the bag and it is funny how you can tell without unpacking that the item is fake.

First of all, the color of material is white on the authentic model, while it has pink undertones on the fake model. Also, the replica has silk-like material which is supposed to be rougher than that.

The font of the letters is supposed to be bolder and the color has to be black, not blue like on the bottom picture.

In Conclusion…

This was our guide on Louis Vuitton Speedy bag authentication. We really hope that our methods will help you to authenticate your item easily at home. 

If you still have some doubts it is alright, as all you need to do is use our Louis Vuitton authentication services and get your item legit checked! Our knowledgeable team is by your side 24/7!
