Need Help Identifying a Bag

**missmk** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2006, 08:43 PM

so there is (was) a bag, and it is (was) red, and it is (was) what I think is vernis, a shiny patent-leather kind of feeling material with the monogram stamped in, and the shape was like a pouchette. Are these faked? Do these even exist? If the answer is no-yes, I'm going to shoot myself in the head (figuratively, of course!).

Sounds fake. but that's cause you said monogram stamped in. Do you have pictures?

nah..no pics. but when I say that I mean like LV symbols were there...it wasn't just flat leather.

sounds like the vernis lexington. the vernis has the monogram stamped in. and they have been faked i think.

oh thank you for saying that. the other LV they had (it was a resale shop) was a fake monogram pouchette (I could actually tell!) but this one looked awfully convincing to me. I just hope it was fake, becuase it was there like 3 months ago and I would be kicking myself right about now for not buying it.

it was just like this:

except this color:

and pardon me, as I'm sure one or both of those bags are fake (esp. the 2nd one)

oh so yeah it was a lexington.

Oh hah! you meant on the outside. I thought you meant monograms on the inside of the bag. I was like er? never seen fakes like that before.

there are a lot of fake lexingtons out there. Be careful.

thanks for saying that because now i can sleep tonight knowing that I didn't miss a decent deal on an LV...

Most fake lexington or vernis for that matter have wrong lining. The real ones should come with matching colour leather-like texture lining with no zipped pocket like many fake ones do.

thanks, asiandiva, it was fake! that helps a lot! so in this case, the lining would have been red with no inside pocket? awesome!

Yes, for lexington, the lining should be red with no inside pocket. However the 2nd one you posted is a Reades PM (means smallest size), and has canvas lining with a zip inside pocket.

I know what PM and GM mean! I kinda figured that out on my own...I don't know much else than that, lol. Thanks, it's good to keep all this in mind, I need to learn, even if I don't carry LV I don't want to be LV-stupid!
