The General Look Method

The authentic Neverfull MM is stylish and spacious. Fake versions often get the size wrong; the genuine bag is noticeably larger. 

The colors are another giveaway—real bags are dark brown with dark orange or light brown accents, while counterfeits often appear gray with beige details.

The handles on real bags are darker and well-crafted, unlike the lighter, less refined handles on replicas.

The Sides Method

The sides of the authentic bag are slightly taller than the center, creating a boat-shaped effect. Fakes often miss this, making the sides and center the same height.

Look closely at the screws attaching the handles—they should sit farther from the upper edge. Genuine stitching is symmetrical and tight, unlike the loose and uneven stitching found on replicas.

The Print Method

The print on a real Neverfull MM is smooth and slightly faded with sharp, well-shaped details in dark brown.

Counterfeit bags often have grainy surfaces, overly light colors, and poorly defined patterns.

The Leather Tag Method

The leather tag might seem like a small detail, but it’s a crucial clue. Replica makers often overlook its quality.

Look closely at the stitching. Authentic tags have thick, high-quality threads and perfectly symmetrical stitches. 

Fake tags often use thin, low-quality thread in mismatched colors, with messy stitches that can come loose easily. Also, initials like "AP" should never appear on a genuine Louis Vuitton tag.

The Hardware Method

Louis Vuitton hardware is tough to replicate. Most fakes have a toy-like appearance. While authentic hardware isn’t real gold, its vibrant finish might make you think otherwise. 

Counterfeits often miss this, with dull colors that lack the rich look of genuine pieces. Authentic hardware is also wider and sturdier. Scratches on fake hardware make it look even worse.

The Puller Method

Zipper pullers are another difficult feature to copy. On authentic bags, the puller has a vibrant golden tone, while fake ones often appear silver with yellow undertones. The shape should also be rounder and wider, as seen on genuine Louis Vuitton bags.

The Label Method

Though hidden when worn, the label is a key detail. Authentic labels are larger, wider, and made with higher-quality leather. Fake labels often use poorly crafted leather with uneven stitching.

The engraving on the authentic label is deep and clear, with larger, precise letters. On replicas, the letters are shallow, smaller, and often uneven.

The Fabric Method

Replica factories may do a decent job imitating the interior fabric, but there are still noticeable flaws. One key detail is the size of the letters.

On authentic fabric, the letters are larger, as shown in the comparison above. The spacing between the letters and other design details should also be wider on genuine Louis Vuitton bags.

The Serial Number Method

Here’s a simple trick: you can identify the production location of your bag by examining the initials in the serial number. For instance, “LM” indicates the bag was made in Spain. Refer to the timetable below to decode other initials.

Now, compare the serial number tags. Fake Louis Vuitton Neverfull tags often have letters and numbers that are too large and bold. On authentic tags, the text is smaller, thinner, and more refined.

The Pochette Label Method

This bag comes with a small pochette, which also has a label stitched onto it.

While replicas sometimes replicate this label better than others, issues remain. The leather used is thinner, and the stitching is poor, often done with low-quality thread that could easily unravel.

The lettering on genuine labels is thicker and deeply engraved into the leather, not shallow or “scratched” like on replicas.
