so what are we waiting for? Let’s move on to a guide on how to check the legitimacy of a Louis Vuitton belt.
How to spot fake Louis Vuitton men belts
Step 1: Scan your Louis Vuitton buckle.
Louis Vuitton brown belt
The buckle is one of the most noticeable details of a Louis Vuitton belt because it is where people recognize an LV belt.
The main problem with fake Louis Vuitton buckles is that they are either too thick, too thin, or have some sort of mismatch. Since there are many fake Louis Vuitton men belts, the buckle can vary from belt to belt.
First, we’ll look at the lower left side of the belt. You can see how the bottom line of the “L” has become thinner on the fake Louis Vuitton belt buckle. This is not about compromise by Louis Vuitton replica factories, but about precision.
Looking at the lower right corner of the Louis Vuitton belt, we notice the sharpness of the corners. Original Louis Vuitton men belts have pointed corners, while replicas seem to have rounder edges. Again, this is just a matter of accuracy, not a matter of compromise.
On the right side of the LV buckle, we noted that the bottom copy of the “V” has rounded corners, while the original has sharp corners. This can be seen from the two dots at the bottom and from the curve located “inside” the letter.
Louis Vuitton White Belt
Here it is easy to see how much the fake buckle is thicker than the real one. To notice this, we can look at the bottom line of the “L” in the LV loop. Obviously, the false “L” tip is different.
Another important point for the white color of the Louis Vuitton belt is the thickness of the serif at the top of the letters. In case you don’t know what serif is, here we are talking about the decorative lines added to the keys of the LV characters.
Also, since we’re at the top of the LV loop, keep in mind how you need to check the distance at the top left, where the “L” and “V” overlap. The copy of the Louis Vuitton belt seems to have less distance between the two characters. Again, if we look here, we can easily notice the thickness of the two loops and spot the counterfeit.
A good way to spot the thickness of the loop is to check the vertical and oblique lines in the “V” character. The replicas are obviously larger than the authentic ones. You may find it easier to spot it by looking at the point where the “L” and “V” elements connect.
That being said, we can take the next step on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton men belts.
Step 2 Look at the corner of the Louis Vuitton belt.
The seams of the end of the belt are too close to the end of the buckle and are of poor quality. As the hand emojis point out, it should be shaped like a trapezoid. Quite angular, but not quite sharp.
It should be noted that even foreground replicas with the correct loop do not solve this problem, which is somewhat ironic. It often happens that whenever there are multiple better versions of a replica, any defect fixed in one batch is compensated by another defect, and vice versa. Maybe that’s why there are no perfect 1:1 fakes, and we’re really glad that’s happening, because it helps us teach you how to tell a fake Louis Vuitton belt apart.
In the Louis Vuitton Monogram buckle belt comparison below, you can easily see that the corner of the fake is also too rounded.
As we said, there are many fake Louis Vuitton belt factories and we would like to mention how some fake manufacturers are mistaken in making these corners too rounded, arched.
Step 3. Pay attention to the location of the Louis Vuitton belt buckle.
Checkerboard Seal
The real loop lines up like this: the imaginary line between the left edge of the logo should line up with half of the first set of filled squares.
In 90% of cases, authentic Louis Vuitton Damier printed belts have a pattern where the first set of squares is not visible at all and the second set of squares is completely opaque. These squares we are talking about refer to the black and gray checkerboard found on the Louis Vuitton Damier belt.
This can vary between original belts as very few of them have this pattern in a different way. However, 99% of counterfeits have the pattern you can see in the image above.
Here is a more detailed comparison of a real and a fake Louis Vuitton men belts, where we highlighted the aforementioned alignment issue.
Since we’re still talking about the loop, you can see how the bottom of the fake loop’s “L” character is bent and misaligned, while the retail loop looks flawless.
Monogram belt
The fake Louis Vuitton brown monogrammed belts had the buckle too far down the right side.
The pattern doesn’t matter here, it varies a lot on genuine cases, it’s just a matter of the distance between the loop and the rim.
Step 4 Check the stitching on the Louis Vuitton belt.
It is a very simple sign. With the naked eye, you can see how the seams of the replica Louis Vuitton belt are too close to the edge.
In the image below we have the back of a Louis Vuitton belt. Again, it’s as simple as it sounds. A genuine belt has more stitching and quality, while a fake Louis Vuitton belt has fewer stitches.
Step 5. Discover the prints on the Damier and Monogram belts.
Checkerboard print belt
As the comparison of fakes and reals shows, the vertical lines in the chessboard cells are much thicker for fakes. In fact, it can be difficult to see with the naked eye, but we recommend that you refer to the comparisons in our app.
We invite you to download our application because its purpose is above all to have an organized library with all our manuals and above all all these resources are well separated according to the details you are trying to analyze of course, in this case the printing of a chessboard in a very quickly accessible form. Let’s take this as an example: you are in a meeting and you can use the application to access this step of comparing fake and real with a few clicks and see the photo faster than reading.
Also note that even in the Damier white belt buckle comparison above, it is noticeable.
Monogram print belt
For a Louis Vuitton monogrammed belt print, the highlighted flowers are too big, and we’ve put together this big roundup to highlight all the details so you can more easily spot imperfections on a fake Louis Vuitton monogrammed belt.
Step 6: Analyze the Heat Stamp on the Low Voltage Belt
This hot stamping we are talking about refers to the print found on the back of your Louis Vuitton belt. The richness of the stitching on the left side differs from a genuine belt to a counterfeit. The false waistband has fewer seams on the left rear side. In general, the font of the text on counterfeits is thicker and the “®” is also different.
Step 7: Carefully inspect the LV strap for sloppy work.
Note that an authentic BT belt would never have left its factories with such a gap. We mean the suture comes out on the replica belt. After all, the manufacturing process for these items is not fully automated, and quality assurance specialists will never allow a luxury item of this brand to make it to retail stores. Here we are talking about goods worth +400 pounds.
Step 8: Turn the waistband over and check the back
If your Louis Vuitton belt has this text on the back, then it is a fake Louis Vuitton belt. Such a text should never be there. No authentic LV belt has ever been produced with this text.
Step 9. Check the Louis Vuitton belt receipt.
False receipts vary, and as LVs are reproduced in large numbers, we must advise the reader to keep an eye out for inconsistencies. Here in this particular comparison we show the printed location of the store.
When searching on Google, it seems that the Louis Vuitton store address in Hong Kong is spelled differently. Also, the spacing doesn’t match. The distance between Louis and Vuitton is different from the distance between Vuitton and Maison on the replica LV belt.
Step 10: Check the packaging of the Louis Vuitton belt.
Finally, we have the packaging of the Louis Vuitton belt. Your authentic LV strap packaging doesn’t have to have a poor quality print like these replica straps.
