Luckily, a fashion expert named Audrey Peters shared the easy way to tell if your designer bag is a fraud.
In a video, Peters specifically pointed out how to authenticate Louis Vuitton’s Speedy bags.
Showing off her own LV-printed bag, Peters explained: “The reason why the cherries on this Louis Vuitton bag are upside down on this side are because Louis Vuitton uses one piece of leather to make all of their bags.
“So, on any real Louis Vuitton bag, one side of the bag will always have the upside-down monogram.”
She also demonstrated the trick on her mini rainbow monogrammed bag, which was also authentic.
She signs off by saying: “If you see a Louis Vuitton bag with a monogram right side up on both sides, it’s fake.”
To clarify, Peters wrote in the comments that this telling trick only works for Louis Vuitton’s Speedy collection of bags.
She also corrected herself in the comments and wrote that the Speedy bags are made from one piece of canvas, not leather.
Peters’ trick rings true as its confirmed on the Louis Vuitton website that their Speedy bag’s do have an upside-down print on one side.
Meanwhile, one woman goes dumpter diving to secure her designer goods.
She’s bagged Burberry perfume, bags of high-end make-up, and a fitness watch.
Additionally, another woman spent $1,700 on used Kardashian clothes and found the grossest item stuffed in Kim’s designer boots.
