When I think of LV bags mini backpacks, my first thought is ‘go big or go home’!I mean, when do I ever say no to a bag that not only looks stylish and glamorous but has the capacity to fit in all the stuff I need? However, there’s a catch; it’s really hard to get an ‘authentic’ LV bag mini backpack.
I love ‘window shopping’ for these beauties, but let’s be honest, bearing the price tag of an original LV bag mini backpack is a time-consuming task. Plus, you don’t want to end up having to replace a nearly-new bag within a few months because it turns out to be a fake. That would not be cool.
This was exactly what happened to me when I got my hands on a ‘too good to be true’ deal. I thought I got a steal! I was so excited to show it off to my friends and family. However, the moment I opened the bag, I knew something wasn’t quite right.
Sure enough, when I took it to the nearest LV store to ask for advice and further examination, I was told that it was a fake. It was disappointing to know that I lost all the money that I had saved up for it. My lesson for the day was to never, ever settle for second best and compromise on quality.
That’s why I decided to patiently wait and save up for the original LV bag mini backpack. The price tag might be a bit on the higher side, but they’re money well-spent. The fabric is noticed by its pantograph or quatrefoil monogramming. Synthetic fabrics have a plastic content that feels different from authentic materials and has messy threading details.
Inspecting the zippers, interior linings, and the color of the bag is also important. Originals won’t come with anything too flashy. Instead, the zippers and linings will look same and same color. Plus, they’ll also have a date code number pressed in the interior linings with the format of two letters and four digits – for example, AA2179 indicating specialization, month, and year.
The same with the leather. Be extra careful with faux leather that looks a bit too glossy and a bit too stiff.That’s why I think the extra money I pay for an original LV bag mini backpack is totally worth it. I mean, if I’m going to spend a significant amount of cash for something, I should get the best out of it.
I have been searching around for months, compared different designs, and scoured through various websites in the hope of grabbing the best original LV bag mini backpack. So far, my patience has been rewarded with awesome deals. Plus, with durability, elegance, and craftsmanship of the product.
When buying from the store, I make sure it’s a reputed store clarifying the authenticity of their products. Additionally, I always ask to take a look at the original documents and the box it comes with.To me, it obviously should have the LV logo printed on all sides of the box.
Soon after, I noticed subtle details like the metal trimmings. Genuine LV metal trimmings will have the engraving on them that won’t be hard to scratch off. Fake trimmings tend to have a raised font or layer, which can easily be peeled off.
After that, I have to think about the dust cover that comes along with the bag. An original LV bag will have the same fabric that’s used to weave the rest of the bag. Also, the rope of the dust cover should have different ends – one will have a loop and the other would have a knot.
Finally, the authenticity code should be equipped on the dust cover. It should feature an 8-digit alphanumeric combination arranged in 6 groups. This is the ultimate way of knowing the mini backpack is real.
Apart from these subtle details, I have also tried to research other means like the offering price of the LV mini backpack that could have helped me determine its originality. Generally, an original LV mini backpack costs somewhere between $400 and $1000 depending on the type of leather or fabric used.
