Hello,
I need help with authenticating, determining the size, and coming up with a reasonable price for these items. I have owned them for over 10 years, given to me by my Grandmother, and have no idea how to proceed with coming up with a fair price to sell them for. I'm certain they are authenticate, but I need your help as to what, based on the attached photos, proves that.

Pics continued

See additional pics. The items are a keepall and a wallet/pouch with chain.

Thanks for your help.

I see signs of fake on both the bag and wallet, but the pictures aren't too clear.
Wait to hear from bluedevil87.

On the bag:
Would you provide clear pictures of the clips on the strap, rivets on the handles, and any Louis Vuitton stamping?

More pics

Here are some more pics. I hope these are clear and thanks for your help. Also, I don't know how to tell which size the keepall is. I'm guessing 55 but it seems large to me so maybe a 60. When I measured it, the length was somewhere between 20-24 inches.

Keepall is definitely fake, agree with LV.

I think the wallet is too but lets be 1000% sure - post straight on pics of heat stamp and zipper pull.

Thanks

Thank you both for taking time to validate this as I did not want to sell anyone a fake. Can you tell me how you knew it was a fake? Again I've had this for at least 10 years and being that I'm not too into luxury bags and received this from family, I just always assumed it was real.

Hmm, now I don't know what to do with it as I can't sell it and I'm not into using fake items.

The fonts and stampings/engravings are off.

You can donate them to a shelter - be sure to write "FAKE" on the interior with a permanent marker before doing so.

Thanks again

Thank you. As a side note, being a Business Consultant, I see a niche market here, being that, from what I read, the LV store won't provide the service of authentication, and being that the market and demand for 2nd hand LV is so big, there is a nice revenue play here.

I'm not saying that you are interested in that, I'm just saying there is a need/demand that I see (something like www.LVAuthentication.com which happens to not have been purchased yet). Here is my email in-case you ever want to discuss the idea further: [email protected]

Either way, I thank you.

^ There are indeed sites that people can pay for authentication services.

But places like here and the purse forum provide them free of charge.
