Done anything fun lately? Shop at any good stores? Let us know!

I am actuall going to a purse party at the end of the month and would love suggestions on how to spot a fake Louie Vitton or Prada any suggestions?

I'm going to guess if they're selling them at a purse party and at a discount, they're going to be fakes... But there are ways to tell, and I'm sure someone here will know.

If they are made out of 'pleather' and smell like plastic, that's a SURE sign!:p

LOL they claim that they are 100% authentic and they fly all over the world to find them so i have no idea to be honest i've never realyy even see a louie vitton in person LOL i think it's cool but i'm a major skeptic!!

A real LV is very, very soft and very flexible. And the lining on the inside is almost like a micro suede. A fake one is more of a harder "leather" and probably nor real. The inside is just like the fake ones, which is why they do throw people off, but its a stiffer suede. I know this is not much help, but....

Also on a real LV, the straps get darker as they oxidize, thats what real leather does! A fake one, will not change and again is on the stiffer side!!!!

The big thing would be the price. Do you know how much they are selling them for? You can't even get a small LV for under $500-600. So if they are selling them for way under that then they are probably fake. Take a look on ebay & you can spot the fake ones pretty quick. The real ones will be going for alot of money so compare them. www.eluxury.com sells real ones.

Chances are they are fake! 99% of the time, they are! The people selling them are feeding you a bunch of lines so you think its for real!~ But they are fun to go to!!!!

Thanks i need all the help i can get before i go i don't want to waiste my money!!

Also, coaches, you can just tell. If the "c"'s don't line up....then its a fake for sure! Or if the C looks like a G.....be very careful there! Go to Coach.com to look up some real coaches!

Yes they are between $45-$75.00 and a little more for others but they also have prada and other name brands i am very skeptical but my aunt and these ladies swear they are authentic i have no clue?

Nope those are FAKE! They sell those at our BX on the air base here in town. I have a couple. They are nice purses but totally fake!:)

i figured they were but why not say they are fake it's not like they are charging designer prices for them i mean i really don't mind having a fake for $45.00 but why not just say it? I really grilled this lady i told her i had been doing reserch about fake purses and she still swore they were real i don't get it.

It's all about the $$. They are called designer inspired purses. People just want to make money & they figure if they say fake then people won't buy it.:rolleyes:

LOL i just noticed we are both talking back and forth on this and the toddler thread how funny!!

lol...ya I can't seem to get out of this stupid chair & go to bed! :D I just keep hitting new posts & then replying again! lol!:p
