We understand the excitement of owning a new Louis Vuitton model—and the frustration that can come with wondering if your purchase was the real deal. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you confirm your bag’s authenticity and ensure it meets the brand’s renowned quality standards.
Louis Vuitton: Pure French Luxury
The French house Louis Vuitton is globally recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship, timeless tones, and the iconic LV monogram that graces every design. You’ve likely encountered their luxury pieces before—especially their handbags, which come in an endless variety of styles.
Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has set the standard in luxury fashion, maintaining its relevance and prestige for over a century. With a presence in more than 70 countries and hundreds of skilled artisans, the brand continues to symbolize timeless sophistication.
Louis Vuitton bags have long been the benchmark for excellence, inspiring countless designers—and, unfortunately, counterfeiters. These imitators attempt to replicate every signature detail, offering fake versions at suspiciously low prices or even trying to sell them at the same price as authentic Louis Vuitton pieces.
To help you ensure the quality of your purchase, here’s a quick guide on how to tell if a Louis Vuitton bag is original.
4 Key Ways to Identify an Authentic Louis Vuitton Bag
Follow these four essential tips to confidently determine if your Louis Vuitton bag is genuine—and finally add that dream piece to your wardrobe without hesitation.
1. Clarity of the Monogram
The LV monogram is a hallmark of French craftsmanship, and counterfeiters have long tried to replicate it. However, they’ve never quite succeeded.
A genuine Louis Vuitton logo is crafted with fine, precise lines, maintaining a flawless finish. The small “L,” rounded “ouis,” and the two touching “T” letters in uppercase are distinctive features. Any deviation in the font—or spelling errors—are clear signs of a fake.
2. Hardware and Accessories
Counterfeit Louis Vuitton bags often fail the material test. Authentic LV hardware—such as zippers, clasps, and chains—is made from durable, high-quality metals, never plastic or easily corroded materials.
Fashion experts agree: investing in a real Louis Vuitton means owning a timeless accessory that stands the test of time.
3. Date Code
This is one of the most reliable indicators when verifying authenticity. Since the 1980s, Louis Vuitton has used a date code system inside its products to indicate when and where the item was made. You’ll find it near seams or side panels, consisting of letters and numbers that reveal the week, year, and factory location.
4. Stitching and Lining
Still unsure if your Louis Vuitton bag is genuine? Examine the stitching and interior lining.
Every authentic LV bag showcases perfect, even stitching with no irregularities or loose threads. The interior lining must be seamless, made from a single piece of leather or fabric, ensuring total symmetry and durability.
Entrupy Certification: Advanced Technological Authentication
To provide our customers with even greater peace of mind, Estrena Tu Bolso now uses Entrupy, an advanced authentication solution powered by artificial intelligence.
What Is Entrupy?
Entrupy is a cutting-edge platform that authenticates luxury items—such as handbags, accessories, and shoes—using microscopic imaging and AI technology. It combines specialized hardware (a dedicated camera) with algorithms trained on thousands of genuine and counterfeit samples.
