The mutant cherry replicas are running wild! Be careful buying these beauties on the internet!
Some of these are absolutely hilarious and I am posting them here because I can't believe people would actually purchase these thinking they would have actually been produced by Sir Louis! |  Ok, this is absolutely ridiculous! |  | What is with these mutant droid cherries?? I would explain why they are wrong, but I think you can look at them and figure that one out. I will not degrade your intelligence!
Look at that dust bag! No authentic LV dustbag will ever look like that. Period. |
|  | | This is the same purse as above, it is just a close up! |
|  Another ridiculous example |  | Look at the monograms and quatrafoils of this purse! That isn't even the correct size spacing to even the inexperienced LV collector!
And again, do NOT be fooled with the "Guaranteed Authentic" they are selling replicas! They are breaking the law, do you really think that they care that they are breaking the policies of eBay?? |
|  What the hell is this??? |  | Welcome, Queen Cherry Phooey Pecan!!! Fake swatch, and this design doesn't even exist! Look at that hideous bag!
To the right, see that card (envelope usually with some yellow "authenticity card") FAKE~
Is that supposed to be a cherry pouchette??? YUKKY! Wrong!!! |
|  | Here is the whole collaboration of the bag above! YYEEWWW!! This green envelope (usually containing that famous "authenticity card") is the key to spotting a fake.
Is that supposed to be a cherry pouchette? I don't think so!! WRONG! Look at that dustbag! WRONG! You are outta here! |
|  eBay auction description | I loved this one:

|  MY EYES ARE BURNING!!!!!!!! |  | | Ok, there are no words! |
|  | | Go ahead, laugh hysterically! |
|  Ok, here is a tricky one |  | Look at the cherries~ this is key in picking out authentic cherises speedy!
One~ It only was made in a 25. So that is right.
Two~ Look at the top row of cherries, they are cut in half! WRONG!
Third~ Look at the cherries as a whole, not individually. They should line up.
Fourth~ The cherries are not covering the LV.
|
|  | | This is the same handbag (Phooey Pecan) as above. Look carefully at the font. This is where a true connoisseur of fine Louis can spot a fake in 1 second flat. The font in the Vuitton is just too thin. |
|  | | Again, the interior is key. This is the same purse as above. Can you pick out the flaws. Remember, Louis is all about perfection. Look at the brass hardware~ it is not centered and it is too high. |
|
|  | |  | | Don't be fooled! | | Protect yourself, before purchasing off of the internet~educate yourself! |
| |  | |  |
 | |  | | Protect Yourself | | Always use protection! Use a credit card that offers great fraud protection, such as, AMEX. If an auction states that they do not accept PayPal,,, RUN!!! Usually a sign that they want you to have no protection against them! |
| |  | |  |
 | |  | |  | | Fake tag. Along with the obvious fake bag! |
| |  | |  |
 | |  | |  | Ok, I think you are getting the picture now |
