I used to get those fakes for $50. I didn't care that they weren't exact. It was the same look and I would never spend thousands for any bag.

Just bought a dupe and I’m impressed at the closeness to the original bag. It saved me thousands.

Because of vids like this, the replica bag has improved tremendously. I have authentic LV bags but purchased a replica of this bag. My replica has all of the things you pointed out on the original, the lighter/dark stitching is on the correct sides. I put this bag side by side with my friend’s bag (original)she couldn’t tell the difference. I no longer buy original, I use my private seller 😊

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *yutulux* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning

Thank you for sharing guys but personally I think ppl who buys original or copy has their own reasons. So why dont we just let them be happy with their personal choices ya .. me personally would rather save and get an original ones but who are we to judge if others are just as happy getting the copy ones right ? At the end of the day as long as the wearer are happy with their purchases then hooray ! 😊

You could probably solve the collapsing bag problem easily with a purse organizer. It gives the bag structure. It’s pretty standard to use them in LV bags also.

This was great. I'm going to France in a few years and intended on making a gift to myself of a bag at the LV store. It's nice to know when I examine the bag what to look for. I love LV but have not purchased a bag.

Thank you for sharing this video! I personally have the replica and I just love it! I would never spend ridiculous amount of money for a real one. I rather spend the rest of the money on a vacation trip! … but that’s my personal opinión and choice.

As someone who loves to change bags based on outfit, event, and mood, $$$$ bags are not practical for me. So I’ll take the $$$s and $$s any day. Doesn’t matter if it’s fake.

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *yutulux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *yutulux* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home

LV as of March 2021 will no longer attach date codes to bags. They are now discretely microchipped and scanned in store/factory for repair inquiries

Hi there..loved your detailed comparisons. Just one point though to keep in mind - the LV bags in the monogram and Damier patterns are not made of leather. They are canvas.

The variety of textures in the bbkbags pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

i love you so much! I recently just found your *yutulux* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

I really do believe the only reason why buying replicas bothers some folks is because they spent so much money on something that can be replicated. The fake bags look so real that most of the time you can't tell if it's fake. I'll take the 300 please

I’d just buy a “real” Dooney & Bourke real leather bag for 3-4 hundred dollars! Not to mention the quality of the bag. Why spend 3-4 hundred on a fake LV bag, will fall apart after a few uses! 😂 ThankU’s for the education/tips on an awesome brand, LV!! I ordered a “used” crossbody LV bag on Poshmark for a great reasonable price and good condition. You guys are the tops!

I’ve been a Louis fan for over 40 years. I even went to Paris to buy a Louis. I am continually learning through the years how to spot a real verses fake… some imitation sellers do a great job at copy catting and pay attention to the smallest detail. Thank you for the video!

Not all of the LV dust covers have a draw string. Some real ones actually are a fold over like the fake one you showed. Of course the stitching is very good, no loose threads.

I’ve seen lots of companies selling replicas who have actually mastered the packaging , receipts etc

I just bought a bag and paid $300+ and it's a designer bag but it does fold .... now i'm skeptical and not so happy about it. And it was expensive for my pockets. But nice comparison. Thanks for the heads up.

Louis Vuitton would never cut off it's initials so that is another give away. The craftmanship is impeccable.

What suhas has explained in the end about "Not Judging" Is actually true. Maybe ppl know the difference but happy with their purchase only because they're getting it in low budget because most of the common ppl can't afford it. But still this video was so helpful ☺ Thank you both😊❤

This video is awesome! I love saving up for my bags and buying the real thing but I can see why someone might just purchase a fake to get the look. Great video btw!!

Love bbkbags the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other UKpostsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

The real question is, would you buy this fir $35? Good replicas are made from quality material and often in the same factories that can be spot on for less than $60. Not China Town stuff they slap together like this video. This was a bad comparison with a cheaply made made. Additionally, some of us can afford real bags 10x over but are slowly finding out they are mass produced in factories THEN shipped to France etc to put the logos on them. Even big brands can partake in trafficking and shady black market practices. I just got a Chanel for $40 and compared it to my besties, spot on! Plus, each series changes and even luxury brands are cutting on quality to save coins.

You guys look amazing together❤️ God bless you both❤️

Thank you for doing this ..and I find it very interesting I have been lucky enough to purchase one real LV handbag .. and just recently I bought two fake ones … so that I don’t have stress about it getting damaged by weather and daily use … but my real one is packed away in it’s real box …

The new LV bags don’t have that tag inside. A microchip is embedded inside to deter scammers.

It wouldn’t be a leather smell because that bag is made of coated canvas…

Very nice video , just little correction if someone is watching this for true information, even the real bag in this video is not leather, it is LV canvas just the handles are leather, in case you are interested in buying leather LV bag this is not the right one! Video was fun and good idea👍🏼

Thank you to the both of you, this was interesting! ❤️

Hi there. Nice tips. As of this year (2021), LV no longer have date codes. LV now use microchip embedded in their bags. It can be detected by using an app. It won’t tell you the date code, but you can detect the chip. Thanks for the video.

I eagrly wait for your video. When I get notified it makes me extremely happy.. You both ❤️

Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the *yutulux* queen picked up at Fendi

Thank you for sharing. It's good to know. I don't like the fake because of quality and I don't like to fake it. You guys are a beautiful couple.

Love the honesty of cost prohibitive factor for many, if not most! No shaming. Just the facts. Thank you!

Fake LV nowadays comes with the box and card too. I've seen online sellers out there selling fake purses that comes with everything.

Leather (Vachetta sp?) is on the handles and trim but main body of LV is treated canvas, not leather. Thank you for the comparison!

His *yutulux* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation

Oh maaaann what a fab video idea 😍 can't wait to see what you come up w next !!

Now people who make fake LV's will try to make it look real after the video. 😂 Amazing video! ❤️ Loved it. ✨

I lived in South America for almost 20 years. There, I was twice robbed of my handbag. The first time, the thief broke a car window and took my bag. The second time, I was trying to board a bus and a group of thieves pressed against me. I love quality handbags and beautiful craftmanship, but in some places it is not practical to carry an authentic, expensive handbag. Mine were not expensive handbags, but the robberies were still traumatic. I plan to make my own handbag copies myself, only for myself, just for the fun of it. Thank you for teaching me the details of fine handbags.

You both are adorable together. Thank you bcuz the biggest tip without even opening is the threading. I feel smarter already. .. subscribing and thank you for that tip.

I love your channel so much and this video validates a lot of what I have been telling people-the hi low fashion issues. For me, I buy my vintage LV bags from Japan-I’ve actually spent less than what super fakes cost. Ive sent some of them to LV for Vachetta replacement and still comes in less than a new bag. A few years back my husband and I were watching *suluxs* company Personally, I would buy a superfake of a Pochette Metis but I’m too lazy to research the super fake market.

Nice and informative video 😍😍. I wanna say that, "whenever I am having a bad day or I am sad and suddenly your video notification pops up, it just makes me so happy and I feel lively ❤❤. Whether it's suhas's reaction or your smile, everything starts to feel better. Thank you for existing, thank you for being us. Love you infinity 😘😘❤

Thats so funny, we just bought a LV bag at a LV store (..yes with a sales concierge) and the LV handbag cane with the fancy box, but with the cheap cloth bag... no drawstring!😂 BTW... Palm Beach Gardens LV very snobish till you buy something...

I enjoyed your commentary. You work really well together. I think I would rather spend the money on the real and take care of it. The real should last a lifetime and my daughter could use it. I kept a handbag from my mum and the quality is so good, the bag looks new. I don't use it every day, I don't use any of my bags every day. But a sturdy, well-made structured bag will last-just don't throw it in a train yard.

I just got a insert for my fake one so it stands up right. Cost of bag and insert total about $100.. people who see me carrying around can't spot its fake I don't think. Good enough for me :) great video.

I am not going to buy such an expensive bag but yeah the information about the real and a fake can help people identify thanks for giving it and as always love to watch your videos

Thank you, for sharing such insightful information. But, in my opinion, it is not a deal-breaker that the faux bag doesn't stand up on its own, because once someone puts their personal items inside the satchel it'll stand up just fine due to the weight. And, I really like that the imitation bag is made of genuine leather (no matter if it's lambskin, sheepskin, or cowhide) because that means it will last for an exceptionally long time if taken care of properly. I like the fact that the faux bag's designer print is marvelously similar to the real LV. The fact that the thread stitching isn't like the real LV can be an issue if one is in close proximity to others that can differentiate between an authentic and unauthentic LV... I didn't perceive that the LV logo on the front of the fake bag wasn't correctly stamped as you mentioned, as it appeared just fine from my point of view... I like that the inside of the faux bag is made well and is the correct color match. Overall, in my opinion, if someone couldn't afford a genuine LV, well then, the faux LV is a smart substitute as many people often fake it until they make it... However, beware, as not all faux bags are created with great care. Yet, if one can afford to purchase an authentic LV bag, well then, certainly do it as that would be an intelligent investment since it has great resale value. Additionally, an authentic LV bag is manufactured exceptionally well since it is the best quality that's made from the finest materials. It's made to last for decades. An LV bag (or any haute couture designer brand) reveals status and triggers confidence. Moreover, most people that carry an attractive (or beautiful) luxurious authentic handbag (no matter if they are aware or unaware) signal to others, I'VE ARRIVED; and that's important to some people. 💅

And YES, The *yutulux* Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!

Great video!!! I personally wouldn't buy either of them. The cheap one is supporting a counterfeit business. The real one is overpriced to such an extreme degree that it is taking advantage of people who shop the name. If they threw in something to justify the price, I would be all over it. TFS

There are some spot on gorgeous replicas out there. I always say to each its own. Judge thee not for carrying the real thing and judge thee not for carrying a fake. After all it’s just a handbag to carry your items in, nothing more or nothing less. I think and I said think because I have been involved in some heated discussions regarding this, the problem why so many authentic LV carriers have such a strong negative opinion about fake LV bags carriers is that if it’s a very good replica by the seeing eye you can’t tell the difference.

You are both hilarious…enjoyed this! Got my first real Louis in Paris at 22 and still have it!

I deal with a Chinese factory that makes duplicate copy with the exact same materials used in the originals. They even order the threads 🧵 from France. It’s a bit expensive that reaches $500 but it’s worth it.

without a doubt, the difference is huge, between the original and the fake, thanks for the video 👏🏻

You can buy an organizer to put in the faux bag to keep its shape and sit upright. For a fake, it's not a bad bag.

To each his own as you have said. Personally I like buying luxury bags but have to save up for them. I would rather have the real deal than buy a replica. I recently checked in at a hotel and a lady in line wore what looked like a replica LV bag. It was the same as the real LV I wore but honestly it looked so bad, did not hold its shape etc. To each his own but wouldn't want to be compared in public. I will humbly wear what I can afford first and what my bank account allows.

It's NOT leather, it's resin coated canvas with minimum leather trim. Many people believe that these bags are made of leather, wrong ! The 'fabric' costs almost nothing, comes in huge rolls, is digitally printed.

I bought the black one at LV boutique in Cali but the dust bag came in like the folded one, not the string dust bag. But I’m sure it’s original coz it’s one of their boutiques. I agree, the only way we can tell is the quality of the material and clean stitching. Thank you for the vlog.

Virinda you’ve an eye for details. Loved the comparison. It’s so on point. You guys are adorable 🥰❤️❤️

The real bag will stay last long 20-30 years ( $175 per year ) if you take a good care , but the Fake one $350 ( $116 per year for 3 year ) I’m believe the bag will change the shape badly , after a few year especially the handle look horrible , some of LV store now they do Lay away plan too .Why not choose your dream bag at LV store ::))

Use a hair dryer to soften the vinyl on the Dupe to straighten it, and put on a stack of books upside down while you do that. lV is vinyl coated canvas, only the handles etc are leather

you can tell the real bag material is much more smooth in texture compared to the fake one. Also the section where the handles attached to the bag, the patterns on the real one is very different from the fake one.

good informative video and the points you made are exactly why I would buy the fake one! Who cares about the color of the thread! Spending a thousand bucks more for the color of the thread is beyond common sense..... for me anyway. Keep ups the good work guys.

It’s not leather. To spend a ridiculous amount of money on these is absolutely crazy. They are not well made, and you are paying for the “genius” marketing of such bags. I will always regret spending $2600 on a LV bag from an LV store that had stitches that came undone!

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxscom* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

Thank you guys so much for your effort & research as well👍👍👍

Stumbled upon you guys video.It came across my channel and I must say it was very interesting to watch and very entertaining. Keep up the good work. P.S. I also sub as well 😆

Just an FYI I have the same bag purchased in summer 2021…. After March 2021 LV no longer includes date stamps in their bags, but are instead microchipped. So this actually is something else that makes it harder to tell an authentic from fake

Guys. I remember "Sam and Monica" on UKposts as soon as I see you guys. You guys are amazing.

Love watching you guys!!! You guys are funny. Awesome !!!

Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the bbkbags bag !

Such a unique concept and so much information! Seems like you are actually playing spot the diff IRL!

I happen to own 2 authentic Louis Vuitton bags and thank you for pointing out the flaws of the fake LV bags vs the real ones. I think that ‘it’s also worth mentioning the price , because I know for a fact, that real authentic LV’s never ever go on sale! if you are fond of visiting outlet malls like me, 😀 you’ll never find a Louis Vuitton store in any of these outlets. I mean, you will find popular name brands like Burberry; Prada; Fendi, Dior etc. but not LV. I mean If the price of an LV bag is being advertised, far less than a thousand $$’s then I’m a 100% sure it’s a replica! Just sharing my thoughts out loud! ✌🏼✌🏼Peace man! 😄

LV bags are not made of leather, only the handle and the trim is. Rest of the bag is PVC-coated cotton canvas.

I have a LV dupe and love it! I would never pay that much for a LV bag. Now if someone gifts me a LV bag I’ll take it but never would spend that much on a bag.

This was so interesting to watch, Virinda! :D As always, you guys are the cutest

I love this. I’m a luxe shopper and love high quality goods. However, high quality doesn’t mean it needs to be high priced. I always go for *suluxs* , their quality is great. Great video.

The authentic tote bag is made from coated canvas. The only leather pieces are the date code tag and the 'made from' tag. The replica is made out of PU leather or synthetic leather. There's a grading system when buying replica handbags. You got ripped off on that $300 replica handbags. That's a low grade handbag and it should cost way less then $300. $300 could of got you high 1:1 grade almost mirror grade. Mirror grades almost true to the authentic handbags.

Very informative 👌 My question is, if something happen to my LV bag from someone, can I take it to the store to help me store it? Like color fading because of water, mold or pen mark. Anything. I bought it this from a friend. Hope you can give me some suggestions. Thank you so much 😊

Thanks for the hints👍🏻👍🏻

Me- sees Virinda and Suhas's new video notification. Also me- clicks as fast as I can 😂

To be fair about holding shape, my Neverful GM came folded in a box, and still today, three years later it will not hold its shape. Honestly, I'm kinda mad they deformed my bag instead of using a proper large box. Same with my one-year-old Graceful MM, it came in a smaller box and it too has a folded shape to it. I asked for a bigger box and they gave me one, but the damage is already done. Plus, the LV bags will have a nice buttery feel to them with a nice sheen. Fakes feel like rubber and are dull. Not all monogram bags will have the same tint of yellow in the monogram. That can depend on the humidity in the air, the thickness of the press, the country that makes it, and the drying time. Fact: If a wallet and bag are not printed from the same batch, it will be hard to get a perfect match. I waited through several store deliveries to get the closet match for my Graceful and it still wasn't perfect.

he variety of textures in the *yutulux* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

Your comments are interesting, but only hold true for the specific dupe bag you received. There are better copies and lesser copies. Also, you can get the box with a dupe if you want. They’re $30-40 and increase the price of shipping significantly. And, I’m pretty sure that style is canvas. I just bought an OTG from LV. It was overnighted from Texas. The box arrived ripped. They should have stuffed the bag, that would have helped the integrity of the box.

It's normal to be such a difference between the quality of the two products. If the fake would be so amazing, nobody would buy the original 😀

God bless this woman! Her *yutulu* bag is amazing

2:36 also something they probably missed is the shape for the hardware connecting the straps to the bag the real the real square hardware is smaller and rounded while the fake one is bigger and more square

I was feeling low, seeing suhas again nd again pointing out the shape of the bag Made me laugh and laugh and laugh🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ur house too beautiful...plz upload the 2nd part of it....❤️❤️

Loved this video! Is there a site you can recommend for a good duplicate?

My fake bag looks exactly like the real deal. I paid 400.00$ and the packaging is awesome. You can’t tell the difference.

This is so informative 😍 though missed Suhas's hindi in this one 😂

Spending 300 also is pretty high for a bag, that too a replica of one that's not everyone's cup of tea. I would rather spend it on other brands like MK or save it even more with good quality bags ranging $50-$150. I bought a bag 5 years ago for $50 and I have been using it thoroughly, no issues so far, must have used it and stuffed it to rim during my travels in the last 5 years

Great job! Thanks!

Thank you for this great eye opening video! My bag of choice would be a Chanel, alas, out of my price range. I never would buy a fake one, because I always thought that knock-offs were illegal.

Where is the best place to buy a replica? I have several authentic ones but I’m over it. They cost too much, or not worth it and I’m not that social anymore so a replica is just fine with me

This was a great idea and very informative.
