Louis Vuitton (LV) Damier Neverfull MM Bag N51105 = Authentic or Fake?

Helped a customer to get a LV bag in Japan recently. Bought from a reliable shop at quite a premier price (though might still be cheap to some).

I did not buy from a LV store, as this bag is of so very high demand that most LV stores in Japan have run out of stock. Instead, I ordered from a big bag seller in Japan.

When receiving the bag, to my surprise there is NO BOX or any label showing if the bag is genuine or fake. I have a hard time telling, as I have not bought a LV bag before (my wife and I are no an of LV). However, I must admit that the bag looks very nice, very neat stitches and very simple and clean design.

Here are some photos to share (as there will be many pirates selling this bag in the internet, so I better watermarked my photos below):

The inside RED is really striking, which makes this bag unique and very attractive in my opinion. There is another milky inside version, which is not that nice I think.

Special serial number tag? I think this model all have same tag number…not sure what the number means: SP2048

Found a small card inside the bag.

Since my customer and I both are unsure of the genuinity of the bag, so I will later bring the bag to a local 2nd hand bag seller (LV specialist) to verify. :)

Hi stranger,

Care to share how to differentiate? What to look out for?

Thanks. :)

everything from the item itself, the gold hardware, the dust bag, the card, the embossed little tab behind the inner pocket (that’s the date production code if you’re wondering) … SP2048 … that translates to “Made in France” … and if i’m not mistaken, made on Week 204 of year 2008.

frankly speaking, it’s easier to distinguish an authentic/fake monogram than a damier.

Hope this helps :)

Sorry, Week 24.

First and third digit represents the month, and second and fourth digit represents the year.

The easiet way to identify (that I can think of) is probably to compare the colour of the damier to another authentic damier.

oh one more thing, sorry to be flooding your comment box.
fake canvas (both monogram and damier) tend to be more matte and stiffer than the genuine one :)

hope you got the real thing!
have a great weekend!

Hi Stranger,

Your information has been really helpful, definitely appreciate your comments! :)

I brought the bag to a LV bag seller this morning. He checked the bag briefly and offered me quite high price for the bag, so I believe it is genuine. :)

someone is selling me this bag, but when i saw the tag inside ,it say made in u.s.a. what do you think about it? the seller said the bag came from hawaii lv store.

Hi Dazzling,

My understanding is that LV Hawaii and LV Japan are selling this bag/model. No other LV store has this bag.

Those sold by LV Hawaii are made in USA, while those sold in Japan are made in France / Paris.

Thanks.

hi to the lv lovers,

i have 4 lv bags and a purse. Just a couple of days ago i just bought another bag.

I know for sure that Lv use to be made from France only but now some are also made from Spain. So Lv are only made from FRANCE OR SPAIN (NOT from any other countries) This is what the shop assistant told me the other day.

There are too many fakes around and you rather put that extra money in to get the real thing. Just go to google and type Lv bags are most of them are fake ones that you can buy for a couple of hundreds that looks like the read thing. It evens says on the site “why buy a real one when you can buy a fake for cheaper and it looks so real”.

Think about it, Lv dont depreciate in value/price. It may change a little due to the currency rates but not that much maybe a 50 differences. My purse that i bought a year a go is still $1000 Aus money. Would some buy a bag for the original price and sell it off cheaper. Doesn’t make sense.

hope this helps.

Hi, I just bought a LV Damier wallet from E-bay recently. I suspect mine is a fake one. So upset. care to share with me how I can contact the LV seller to identify whether my wallet is authentic anot? thks….

Hi Pam,

I think the most confidence way is to bring the wallet to a local LV store, ask them if yours is genuine or not.

I just asked my friend to buy one Authentic Neverfull Damier in MM Size from LV shop in Fukuoka, Japan this week. The inner tab of date code is made from brown leather but in the difference direction of the aboved pic but I am sure that mine is the Authentic one and the code is SP3098, made in France. Just wonder of why the direction of the tab code is in the difference direc tion and position. Not so sure if the aboved bag is the authentic one. Just for your info.

Hi, i just bought a LV damier wallet RA3078 from LV boutique KLCC but forgotten to ask the assistant about the date code. As stranger mentioned the last digit is represent the year and the first and three digit is the week, is it correct? (I just curious to know)… I heard from a friend that the first digit is the week that month, second and three are the year and last digit is the month. Is there anyone can tell me? TQVM.
