Isn't it very frustrating that a lot of fake signature brands are being sold all over. You'll see a lot of people with LV bags who are for sure could not really afford the authentic bag because LV is very expensive. I think it is shameful to be "trying hard" to make the impression of being able to afford this bag. To be really safe, it is better that you buy from the store in Ayala, Makati.
In the case of Louis Vuitton, first indication that it is fake is when it is sold at a very cheap price. An original LV wallet costs around 50,000-75,000 Pesos. An original bag's price ranges from 120,000 to 250,000 pesos. So if they are selling it for a really cheap amount, that's definitely a fake! You can also see how cheaply the fake bags look like. Even if they say it's a Class A from Hongkong, it's still a fake. You'll also notice how the LV is printed on a fake bag, you can actually tell by simply looking at it. The monogram design, The best way is to look for symmertry, no LVs should EVER be cut off. Louis Vuitton Bags also have serial numbers.
The stitching should be straight, the logos should be not to close together, the materials of the inside should be smooth and feel like quality, and look if the zippers gold or silver plating is flaking and is scratched off. Its all about close attention to detail and the feel and look of the fabrics. But always remember to not purchase it off the internet, but if you do be sure to take it in to the louis vuitton boutique to be verified.But if you don't like that sort of fuss go buy it at a high end louis vuitton store or designer boutique. (Remember louis vuitton comes in many different collections, so don't just think some bags are random fakes. But if theirs no lv logos on the bag and clovers and hearts to replace the lv flowers etc. then its obviously fake.
Hope this helps.

If you really want to buy an authentic LV then you should go to a legitimate LV store. I personally don't go to other shops that sells LV no matter how good there reputation is. If you have seen a real LV bag then you can spot a fake one. It can sometimes be difficult though because there are lots of fakes out there that looks just like the real thing. The tell tell signs for me would be the feel of the leather and the hardwares on it. You too can go to their websites and order there. Peace.
