Are Discontinued Luxury Bags Worth More?
Louis Vuitton boutiques offer a wide choice of bags for every taste, and they are so popular among fashionistas that they are willing to buy them despite the annual price increase (read about how Louis Vuitton increased prices in the USA in May 2020 despite pandemic). But not only bags that you can find in official LV boutiques rise in price each season, pre-loved pieces grow in value with time as some rare models are really hard to find and collectors literally hunt for them searching forums and consignment shops.
If you are one of them, always check the quality and the condition of the bag you are about to purchase. But it is always better to order professional bag authentication, so you can be sure your new baby is 100% real.
If you need to authenticate a Louis Vuitton item, please order one of the three types of authentication:
- good when you need a certificate for any reason,
Certificate of Authenticity $25
- good when you need a certificate for any reason, either to sell the bag with the peace of mind or to return a fake bag to the seller if you purchased a fake
- includes a permanent certificate on lvbagaholic.com
Certificate of Authenticity with a thorough explanation $50
- good when you need a certificate and you need to know why the bag is authentic/not authentic for any reason, either to sell the bag with the peace of mind or return a fake bag to the seller if you purchased a fake.
- includes a permanent certificate on lvbagaholic.com
- includes an explanation of why the item is fake (detailed pictures and comparisons with an authentic bag, more than 10 pics included)
