• How can you tell if a Louis Vuitton side bag is real?

  1 Answer
  1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024

  To tell if a Louis Vuitton side bag is real, look closely at its stitching. The stitching on any Louis Vuitton bag is a good indicator of whether or not a bag might be a fake. The stitches on an authentic bag are flawless — perfectly straight and even. Without exception, all Louis Vuitton bags should have the same number of stitches on both sides of the bag. Next, scrutinize the hardware. All hardware pieces on an authentic Louis Vuitton bag, from clasp to rivet, bear the brand’s engravings, crisp and clear. The metal is durable, evenly colored and will not have an overly shiny gold tone. The color of the hardware inside and outside of the bag should be the same, and no piece of hardware should be faded or discolored. Examine the Louis Vuitton signature monogram on the zipper pull — it should be sharp and clear. The zipper puller should match the rest of the hardware in color, have a solid weight and run smooth and easy as it opens and closes. If the zipper puller feels flimsy or difficult to pull, consider it a major red flag. Finally, Louis Vuitton’s hardware is usually made of brass, golden brass or silvery metal, although matte finishes do exist. Whenever possible, check Louis Vuitton’s official website to ensure the hardware on the bag you’re considering is legit. For additional assistance with authentication, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Find a large selection of Louis Vuitton bags on 1stDibs.

• What is the story behind Louis Vuitton?

  1 Answer
  1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024

  The story behind Louis Vuitton is one of craft and innovation in the worlds of fashion, jewelry and furniture. The company's modest origins can be traced back to when its founder, Louis Vuitton, left his provincial French city of Anchay in the early 1830s to make a new life in Paris. When he arrived, he toiled as a box maker and packer for more than a decade and built relationships with royals and members of the upper class while working for the empress of France, Eugénie de Montijo. In 1854, Vuitton launched his namesake company with a humble workshop on rue Neuve des Capucines and advertised his services with a small poster that read: "Securely packs the most fragile objects. Specializing in packing fashions." Long before his brand would become known globally for its exemplary top-handle bags and stylish totes, Vuitton produced stackable and rectangular trunks. The most common trunks of the era were round, which weren't ideal for toting and storing. In 1858, Vuitton debuted his lightweight, handcrafted canvas trunks, which were sturdy, rugged and equipped with convenient compartments. Travel's popularity broadened in the late 19th century, and Vuitton's trunks could easily be packed into train cars and ships; upright trunks offered hanging wardrobe storage that would allow his clients to transport their sophisticated garments without worry. Demand increased, and the company grew. When Louis Vuitton died in 1892, control of the luxury house was passed onto his only son, Georges Vuitton. In 1914, a Louis Vuitton store opened at 70 Champs-Élysées. The largest travel-goods store in the world at the time, it became the company's flagship. Today, the fashion house remains one of the most iconic producers of leather goods in the world. Find a diverse assortment of Louis Vuitton bags on 1stDibs.
