1. Material and fabric inspection

• Monogram Canvas
• 
  
• The surface of the authentic canvas has a delicate grainy feeling, a slightly hard but flexible feeling, and will not be too smooth or reflective.
• 
  
• Monogram has clear edges, dark brown and beige alternately, with extremely high symmetry (fake patterns may be blurry or asymmetric).
• 
  
• The LV logo can be repeatedly stamped on the back of the canvas (requires with a magnifying glass).
• 
  
• 
  
• Leather Part
• 
  
• The handles and flip edges of Vavin PM are usually made of natural cowhide (such as Vachetta leather). The new bag is light beige and becomes darker with oxidation over time.
• 
  
• Leather has a delicate touch, natural texture and a faint leather aroma (fakes may use synthetic leather, which has a pungent smell).
•

2. Hardware identification

• Metal chain and clasp
• 
  
• The chain is made of brass, the surface is uniform, the color is light gold (non-bright gold), and the weight is obvious.
• 
  
• Metal lettering is clear and sharp, the letter "LOUIS VUITTON" is neat, with no burrs or uneven depressions (fake lettering may be shallow or font errors).
• 
  
• There should be LV engraving on the inner side of the chain connection ring, and details need to be confirmed with a magnifying glass.
• 
  
• 
  
• Magnetic buckle and lock
• 
  
• The flap has moderate suction force, accurate alignment when closed, and the "LV" logo is engraved on the inside (the edges of the genuine engraving are smooth, and the counterfeits may be rough).
• 
  
• Some Vavin PMs are equipped with locks, the key holes should be smooth and burrs-free, and the LV lettering on the keys must be consistent with the official website font.
•

3. Stitching and craft details

• Sewer features
• 
  
• The stitching uses wax thread, the color matches the leather/canvas (such as the handle stitching is beige).
• 
  
• The pins are even and tight, about 8-10 pins per inch, no jumpers or exposed threads.
• 
  
• The handle and the bag body have a double-wire reinforcement (fakes may be single-wire or loose).
• 
  
• 
  
• Edge processing
• 
  
• The edges of the leather are coated with uniform red or dark brown oil edges without spilling or cracking (the fake oil edges may be too thick or incorrect in color).
• 
  
• Canvas is neatly cut, without burrs or off-lines.
• 
  
•

4. Lining and label

• Line material
• 
  
• The lining is made of microfiber (similar to suede), with a soft touch, mostly burgundy or dark brown colors, and is printed with dense LV presbyterian patterns.
• 
  
• The inner bag edge car line is consistent with the outer suture process. The inner bag is labeled with leather and engraved with the words "Louis Vuitton Paris".
• 
  
• 
  
• Date code/chip
• 
  
• The bag lining of the bag produced before 2019 has a hot-print date code (such as FL1021, the first two letters represent the origin, and the last four digits are the production week/year).
• 
  
• After 2021, LV will switch to NFC chips and need to use the official app to scan and read information (fakes may fake chips but cannot be verified).
• 
  
•

5. Brand logo and font

• External imprinting LOGO
• 
  
• The "LOUIS VUITTON PARIS" on the flip is clearly imprinted, the letter spacing is evenly spaced, and the font complies with the official website standards (note that "O" is a perfect circle and the bottom of "V" is sharp).
• 
  
• The embossed edges are slightly sunken, but will not penetrate the leather (the fakes may be imprinted too deeply or the font is deformed).
• 
  
• 
  
• Dust proof bags and packaging
• 
  
• The authentic dust bag is light brown cotton, the LV logo is clearly printed, and there is no smudge on the edges (fakes may be yellowish in color or the font is thick).
• 
  
• The packaging box is dark brown, the box has a delicate LV relief on the side, and the brand logo is printed on the inside of the pear paper.
• 
  
•

6. Weight and size

• The authentic Vavin PM is about 20 x 15 x 7 cm and weighs about 700-800 grams (because the chain and hardware are heavier, the fakes may be lighter).
• 
  
•

7. Professional verification channel

• 
  
• Use third-party appraisal platforms (such as Entrupy, Real Authentication) or professional luxury appraisers.
