[GUIDE] Louis Vuitton Neverfull Fake vs Real (50 Examples)

The exterior pin is copied way better, it looks almost the same as on the original item. This detail of the bag looks quite good overall: neat stitching, correct shape of the leather element. But I already know this bag is a counterfeit (because I checked the interior pin, too). And I would like to repeat once again: pay attention to everything, especially to hidden and tiniest details.

The next pictures might be quite shocking. These are two heat stamps, and both look just perfect. The scary part is that one of them is a fake. 

Most articles on fake Louis Vuitton vs real comparisons advise us to pay attention to the heat stamp. Well, here it is! A perfectly copied LV embossing on a cheap counterfeit. That's why it's always better to order a professional authentication. Otherwise, you might be hit by an ugly truth: some fakes are so incredibly good that look like original bags.

Another Neverfull Monogram that looks amazing! The pattern, the structure, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. What's your opinion? Ready to spend money on it?

Please, put your wallet away, because this purse is another example of a good counterfeit. How do I know it?

Let's look at the leather elements for the cinches again. What do we see?

• Wrong size, it's slightly bigger on a fake bag than it should actually be
• Incorrect shape, the element is longer than necessary
• Metal pin is not positioned properly because of a big size of the element itself. There's too much space around it
• And, on top of all, the glazing is running.

Heat stamps on all the fakes are getting an award for the best copy ever. There's literally no difference between them. Scary, right? Here's another lesson to learn: never rely on the quality of the heat stamp only.

When authentication your Neverfull, don't forget to check the pouch. This small detachable accessory usually comes with the bag. All purses before 2014 were released solo, ta small pochette is a feature of recent models. They might be counterfeit too. How to spot a fake pouch?

The heat stamp inside will be your guiding light. In the photo above the heat stamp is a from a fake bag. To be honest, a pretty good one, though. But let's list the significant features of an LV heat stamp:

• It should be a perfect square, the stitching should be neat
• The logo comprises 4 rows
• The logo is always perfectly centered
• Letters "O" are round (never oval);
• Letter "L" has a short tail
• Ts in "VUITTON" almost touch each other.

2. Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Ebene: Fake vs Real

Let's take a look at another model. Neverfull Damier Ebene is as popular as Monogram, and is often counterfeited, too. What do you think about this item? Worth your savings?

 Hopefully, you never get this bag, because it's a fake!

It's again the engraving on the pin that's waving a huge red flag. The font is wrong,  letters are uneven and poorly embossed, some of them are bigger than others.

The heat stamps look very much alike. That's actually scary when you're looking for some flaws but can't find any. However, there is one difference that points to a fake, and it is the color of the zipper. It' should brown on the real Louis Vuitton Neverfull, and on the fake it is red matching the color of the interior lining. 

If you like this model, be sure to check our shop. We have a Neverfull MM Damier Ebene  in nice condition and 100% authentic.

The same model, but another item. And more details to discuss. Does it look like an original Louis Vuitton Neverfull? It does, until you take a closer look. Let's see some failures I found.

Heat stamps are starting to be actually scary. Of course, the color of the zipper is wrong on the fake. But comparing two heat stamps side by side it's hard to notice any difference in fonts. The only thing that points to the counterfeit is the uneven and crooked stitching at the bottom. Nothing like that can ever appear on an original LV bag.

Here's more to come!

I bet you would have never checked this detail, but I just can't help but to tell about it. You probably know that Neverfull has no secure closure, instead there are two clasps on both sides. Let's check this tiny thing. 

The stitching on the leather element differs from the original piece. It's higher than necessary. 

Another interesting thing is the interior lining. The black lines on the fake Neverfull are sloppy. Obviously not a sign of a skilled work.

Devil has some many faces, you never know what to look for! If you want to get 100% guarantee that your Neverfull is a real deal, order a professional authentication. It costs symbolic $10, but will save you hundreds of dollars!

Otherwise, you risk to end up with one of the super fakes I am about to show you below.

3. Super Fakes: Louis Vuitton Monogram

What would you say about this model with gorgeous patina? Amateur authenticators often say that it's a definite sign of original LV bags. There's an opinion that leather on fakes looks plastic and unnatural. Yes, that's true, when the fake is poorly made.

The bag above is also a counterfeit. Manufacturers did an excellent job to make it look like an authentic Neverfull. The leather doesn't look cheap or plastic, on the opposite, it has patina and gives an impression of a gently worn item. But nevertheless, it's not worth your money and attention, because it's 100% fake.

Let's see which detail was a crucial giveaway!

The heat stamp is again a perfect copy. It meets all the criteria mentioned above: letters, rows, shape, font and position. It would soon be excluded from the list of details to pay attention to when authenticating a Neverfull, just because fakes are far too good.

We haven't talked about Louis Vuitton date codes yet, because there's been no need. But this bag looks so real, that it requires a further and more thorough inspection. What do we see?

The date code looks authentic: starting from 2007 Louis Vuitton uses 2 letters and 4 digits to stamp their bags. Moreover, there's a real date code starting with VI (that means a purse was made in France).

What surprised me here were the skills of counterfeit manufacturers. Usually the date code on a small leather tag was vertical but the inside of the bag but in 2007-2008 the font of the date code was horizontal. Forgers got it so perfectly right! If not for the obviously bad quality of this date code, someone would have thought the bag was real.

4. Super Fakes: Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Azur

A stunning Neverfull in navy colors is another item for a fashion hunt. You can find a pre-loved LV Neverfull MM Damier Azur in our shop, we guarantee 100% original pieces. As for the purse you see above, it didn't pass the authentication test. What's wrong with it? Let's find out!

The first thing to pay attention to is again the date code. Such a code actually exists, but be careful when seeing it on second-hand LV bags. Lots of counterfeit Louis Vuitton bags showcase this very combination: AR1169. Before buying a bag consult a professional, and order an authentication. It will save you from stress.

This purse is an example of an excellent fake! Only the date code was a crucial giveaway. If you want to learn more about them, be sure to check our articles A Complete Guide to Louis Vuitton Date Codes (500 Photo Examples) and New Louis Vuitton Date Codes 2019-2020.

Here's another frightening heat stamp, it almost has no difference with the original. Counterfeiters learned how to copy fonts well.

The exterior of this Neverfull also has some elements revealing the truth. Let's compare the pins again. We've already seen some pretty bad examples. The same can be said here:

• The overall impression is that the fake one is not as pretty, it looks a bit sloppy. You immediately think that there is something wrong with it. 
• The shape of this element is not exactly right either. 
• Glazing is running again. If you zoom the left photos you will spot it immediately. Fashionistas don't pay money for LV bags to lose their glazing. The bag on the left is a fake, though a super fake. 

Summary

Dealing with luxury bags every day makes it easier to spot a counterfeit. But even pro authenticators have to constantly upgrade their skills, have a sharp eye along with the proper knowledge to tell a real bag from a fake one. Counterfeit bags are getting better each year, forgers flawlessly copy the smallest details. As you have seen from the examples in our fake Louis Vuitton vs Real comparison, the elements to spot a fake can be found everywhere. What should you pay attention to to protect yourself from cheap fakes? Make sure you order professional Louis Vuitton authentication services.
