How to tell whether a LV bag is authentic or fake mainly depends on the leather tag engraving, the quality of metal accessories and the tag number. The specific content is as follows:
1. First of all, it can be distinguished from the engraving on the leather tag. The circle R engraved on the authentic leather tag is the smallest among the three rows of English letters. It should be noted that the characters of the real LV are printed relatively lightly, but each character is standardized and even. On the contrary, the fake line spacing is not as standardized and even as the real one. This is very important if the characters are not printed neatly (for example, the characters LV and U will be printed incorrectly).
2. Judging from the quality of metal accessories, the key metal of the real LV buckle will be bronze and dull in color, while the fake one will be bright gold and highly reflective. Genuine metal parts are better polished, the engravings are clear, the luster is relatively mild and neat, and the edges and corners are clearly visible, which is almost impossible for imitations. Fake LV bag hardware accessories are mostly copper-plated. Not only do they feel light and fluttery, they will also turn black after wear.
3. Number the cards. Speaking of the inside of the bag, there will be a piece of leather stamped in the small inner pocket of the bag, with the unique number of the real LV bag written on it. Fake LV generally won't have it, and even if it does, it will be crooked. In addition, the genuine leather used by real LV, including the skin texture of this small piece of leather, will definitely have a natural texture, but the skin texture of the leather used by fake LV will be unnatural. The first two digits of a genuine product represent the factory where it was produced, and the last four digits represent the production date.

Maintenance of LV bags:
Usually the leather part of new LV bags is light beige. This type of cortical pores are open, so they easily absorb oil and moisture from the outside. These are the reasons for the darker and darker color. When the pores of the leather are open, if it is stained with dirt, it will become black and dirty and difficult to remove. Therefore, general maintenance is to shorten this time, or to protect it well.
Do not apply maintenance oil directly to the bag without cleaning it. Such layers will only seal dirt in the leather of the bag, making it dirty faster and making it more difficult to take care of in the future.
