So I finally took it to the LV store and guess what.... It is very authentic and a rare special edition at that! She said its a domestic bag that was only out for a small amount of time. Not that many of these out as well as as it's in excellent condition given that it is over 30 years old and a collectors item! These are all the words from the expert at the store in this line of purses

Is there a serial number inside?
taylorzapatero
The tag is all I found

Sometimes they have a very small piece of leather hidden inside, along a seam, with a serial number. It's a cute bag, good luck!
sweetgirl16
I don't think so, the LV should be in the center of the bag.
maasta
@taylorzapatero cute bag. R u selling?
taylorzapatero
i wasnt going to but for the right price...possibly what were you thinking love @maasta
maasta
@taylorzapatero idk. Lol. I'm not good at offering prices. Someone said its inspired?
taylorzapatero
im not sure now im prolly going to end up taking it somewhere where they can tell me if its real or not. but even if it wasnt authentic is a super great purse genuine leather would be around 300$ @maasta
maasta
@taylorzapatero yes def get it looked at. It could be worth more than $300 if its authentic. 👍👍👍👯👯
taylorzapatero
thank you!!!!! (: @maasta
maasta
@taylorzapatero good luck hun. I hope it's real 😘
taylorzapatero

budgirl

budgirl
@taylorzapatero
taylorzapatero
500$ would be the lowest I can go it's my moms and that's the lowest @budgirl
taylorzapatero
(:
taylorzapatero
How much were you thinking @budgirl
budgirl
@taylorzapatero idk doll but no where near that lol sry doll...
taylorzapatero
@budgirl that's alright (:

I'm not sure it's authentic because speedies are made with one piece of leather that wraps all the way around. This one has a cut in the middle of the bottom. Not sure I've seen an authentic that looks like this.
brookejaimie
Maybe it's a different model? Is it supposed to be a speedy?
taylorzapatero
Yah not too sure my mom said she bought it at a consignment store in San Francisco and that the lady told her it was 100 percent authentic and that was a special edition from the 1970s
taylorzapatero
@brookejaimie
brookejaimie
@taylorzapatero yeah be careful! I bought a fake coach bag from a high end consignment store too, and when I asked the lady if it was real, she said she didn't know. But it was such a beautiful fake I had no idea for years! I finally figured it out recently because one of my best friends worked as a manager at our coach store. I was destroyed.
sparkleandtrim
I don't think it's real because the print pattern should repeat ALL the way around the bag...even after the seams and even if the leather is cut because of the seam it should still perfectly repeat without hesitation. I see on the seam of your bag where the pattern is off.
baabynegrete
@taylorzapatero Hi hun, your bag could be real they do cut the leather at time but they will not cut through the LV on any of there bags. I see on this one they do not. The other thing is for the age of the bag the number could have fallen off. I have a vintage LV myself and the number has came off with age. You can take it to a high end store that code look at it and let you know. If I was you I would sell in the same price range as you. For these is a rare bag and vintage. Good luck great bag!!😍
taylorzapatero
thank you love i will do so!!! :) @baabynegrete
jamison007
@taylorzapatero The Louis Vuitton company with authenticate your bag for you in person or by mail, free of charge. However, they won't issue it in writing if the bag turns out to be real. LV didn't start adding date codes until the 1980's, so if this bag is from the '70's there probably wouldn't be one. I'm a little suspicious of the tag and the split seam at the bottom. I would contact LV and they will know for sure!
teeh
I don't think so. That leather is too dark
taylorzapatero
@countryjess @melasonde @mitch327 @redurb Help please! my mom got this lv bag from a high end consignment store in San Francisco and the lady told her it was a special edition lv bag from the 1970s
melasonde
The leather on the handles doesn't look right. The French company tag looks ok and the fabric was cut for some older models. I can't say 100% since I'm not familiar with this bag. I would post the pictures on the purse forum. They have more expertise than I do.
tiffanyqueen
Hi honey. I've been collecting lv for years and this seems to be an authentic lv made by the French company. The French company was a company that Louis Vuitton authorized to manufacture their goods. The speedys made by the French company are a little different from the ones made by Louis Vuitton themselves. For example the handles are different and also the one made by Louis Vuitton is made with one entire piece of leather. I'm 90% sure this is an authentic vintage Louis Vuitton made by the French company. You can google this information. And do it before you price it :-) good luck selling. It's a beautiful bag :-)
poshqueen2013
I also collect LV's and totally agree with the comment above.
taylorzapatero
yah i agree with you @tiffanyqueen should i still take it to the LV store or is it not forsure that they will know? i read alot and this seems to be authentic. is it worth more than the more traditional LVS? the lady said it was a special edtion made by the french in the 1970s
tiffanyqueen
Yes take it there. They will tell you for sure and I think it's worth pretty much the same but it seems authentic to me. I once purchased one made by the French company, it's a little harder to sell because a lot of people don't know about it. But my advice is don't sell if for peanuts. Not only it looks authentic it's also in great condition. I would purchase it but I already have all the speedy's.
taylorzapatero
thank you so much! @tiffanyqueen
shaconda09
How much r u selling for?
taylorzapatero
Not too sure yet I'm going to be taking it to an LV store @shaconda09
booneyboo
This a replica ... Cute but its doesn't come close to the real one ... To make sure take it to a lv store:-)
vinny30
@taylorzapatero hney! I do believe its a Beautiful Vintage piece from the Louis Vuitton French Company. You have the main thing.. Which it used to be your Serial number. That is the Tag.. (They didn't used Serial Numbers before) they used a Talon.. The tag inside on the bottom of the purse.. I have never seen one like this.. Before.. The upside down logo on one side.. Missing?? Its really not missing..they used to use two different s pieces of Canvas to make it.. Thats why you don't have an upside down logo on one side. does the zipper saids.. TALON on it? If it does.. You have a really Beautiful Unique Piece!!
jjchenau
Hi Hun
You need to change your price to something ridiculous! I would never hold you to it:) just looking out for a fellow posher. Posh could say you need to sell at price listed... That would really be horrible for you:)
taylorzapatero
Sorry I am new to this poshmark and than you ! @jjchenau
jjchenau
No problem:) I cancelled my order!
taylorzapatero
Thank you for letting me know! @jjchenau
elaine1949
@taylorzapatero I sold one that I had from my mom with same tag,she said it was real also, I looked it up on line and found the info.on it there it was real, I gave it away for 60.00. Do your research first.
taylorzapatero
Well I'm taking it too a lv store and if it is real I am def not giving away for only 60$ @elaine1949
elaine1949
@taylorzapatero google what tag said , that is what I did after I sold it.
taylorzapatero
Wait so your saying if its really sell if for only 60$ ?
taylorzapatero
@elaine1949
elaine1949

taylorzapatero
Will do! And what are you looking to pay @gamez112387
gamez112387
I'm not sure. What are you asking? Selling it now?
taylorzapatero
Yah love I would rather jus wait to know for sure when I go to the LV store if its forsure authentic so I can price it right (: unless you want to buy it now
taylorzapatero
@gamez112387
gamez112387
How much is your buy it now price?
taylorzapatero
We'll I think 600$ because my mom said its authentic special edition from 1970s so I wouldn't want to sell it super cheap but there could be a chance it's not real so it's up too you
taylorzapatero
@gamez112387
gamez112387
$600 is a lot to risk if its not real....tag me when you know if it's real or fake 👍
taylorzapatero
Sounds good!!! I understand @gamez112387
ghills32
@taylorzapatero This looks to be authentic and vintage based on your photos. One thing I usually notice with inspired LV bags is the leather on the handle and piping is usually light colored vs the real is darker. I can't afford to buy this be it real or faux but I'm interested to hear the verdict so pls tag me when you know. Either way its a great stylish piece!
taylorzapatero
@ghills32 thank you for your take on it I appreciate it! 😊
tmak0630
I believe it's not..
lours228
@taylorzapatero Hi Taylor, is the LV bag upside down on the opposite side! When the LV bags were manufacture the made it with one sheet of leather... That's why it's upside down on one side! God Bless! Lauren💜
taylorzapatero
@vinny30 hi I just wanted to let you know I checked and it does have TALON on the zipper! Sunday my mom is taking it to the LV store and I will let you guys know what the verdict is! (:
vinny30
@taylorzapatero so there you go!! You got an authentic piece.. Luv!! These vintage bags didn't have LV logos like the way they do now.. It should say.. Talon on it!
taylorzapatero
Yup it does! And on ebay it says that it's still hard to find bags with the tag still Intact inside because they usually fall off @vinny30
tiffanidaniels
Did you find out of it was real?
bellasbeauties
It's not authentic,do you see the seem line at the bottom of the bag there shouldn't have ani seem lines hope that helped
taylorzapatero
Okay so took it the LV store in south coast plaza and ..... It's authentic!!!!!!!! She said I have a very rare piece at least 30 years in excellent condition and it's limited edition collectors item from domestic line which was out for a very short period of time!!!! @vinny30

taylorzapatero
The gentleman at the LV store just told me this was from Louis Vuitton's domestic line which was only out for a very small amount of time making it a very rare piece!
taylorzapatero

juicycouture89
Can you look at my posts under "is this real?" I bought a bag off of eBay within 5 dad ago and I think it's fake?:(
taylorzapatero
Yes I promise! I just went to get it authenticated at south coast plaza @juicycouture89
juicycouture89
Not what I asked
jacqueelovee
@vinny30 @taylorzapatero omgsh! I'm about to cry!!! My grandmother just have me one exactly like this she swore up and down if its authenticity. I said research and came to a conclusion it was fake! Sense the handle was ripped and I thought It was fake I through it in the garbage): but seeing all these pics and it said talon on zipper as well! I'm so sad that I just found this post):
vinny30
@jacqueelovee omg!! No,way. Yes,this are very rare Louis.. TRUE GEMS! And they hold better than the new ones.
jacqueelovee
@vinny30 yes😔 my grandma is old I thought. Maybe she's just making It up and believes it. And me and my mom did research and nothing); well this I avoid to know, thanks for sharing this.
vinny30
@jacqueelovee remember one thing. Back in the days. They didn't have that many replicas and if they did.. They were probably poorly made.. Nothing like they do now ..
jacqueelovee
@vinny30 yes you are so right! I should have know better! We even compared to my mothers real bags! But I'm so glad she shared this!! Because now when anyone in my family give me anything I will do way more research (not just a day)
taylorzapatero
I thought it was too but when I took it in the one of their experts in the store he told me right away wow you have a very rare piece. And I didn't even think it was real at all and than to find out it was very rare collectors item blew me away! Always check first @jacqueelovee
jacqueelovee
@taylorzapatero the closest LV store is 3 hours away from me, it looked fake and I thought It would be a waste of time..agh well I will next time!!
taylorzapatero

Carol diva can authenticate any LV bag and give written authentication for $7. Maybe this helps.
cocoamy
@baglover1973
taylorzapatero
I already had it authenticated and it was authentic but thank you!
taylorzapatero
@cocoamy
cocoamy
@taylorzapatero very interesting bag. I did not know if u knew of carol diva or not. Sometimes people want to see authentication in writing so I thought I would mention her. I've used her before. She is very good. If u change your mind $7 and boom authenticated and u will have buyers crawling to buy this. Plus she can tell u if your under pricing this which my suspicion says u are. Just a thought. Not trying to step on toes.
taylorzapatero
thank you!!! @cocoamy i really appreciate it
gartrendy1
$300?
taylorzapatero
Sorry 300$ is too low

Gorgeous bag! And congrats on good news from LV store. Back in college I picked up a vintage piece at an estate sale, but I was poor & needed $ more than a bag, so I listed it on eBay. I got all kinds of mean, insulting messages from people accusing me of selling a fake & eBay removed my listing. I gave it to Goodwill then a few weeks later my friend wanted to buy it. She had gotten a job at LV and saw it in an old catalog! 😭
taylorzapatero
Awww I'm very sorry to hear that :/ @cmikia
taylorzapatero
PP is accepted girls!!!

This is an awesome vintage lv bag! All the naysayers before are not really familiar with the history of the brand. Congrats on having it authenticated. If you want to get the exact name of it and around the ballpark price I would try carol diva.com. It's 7$ well spent. But in all honesty, I would keep it!!
chipou
@taylorzapatero can you take a picture of the zipper? And what is the lining made out of? Suede?
egypthoneybunny
This is such an awesome bag.
daywearables
@gettumgirl need one like this size...
gettumgirl

daywearables
@gettumgirl I'm fond of darker leather
gettumgirl
@maasta it’s definitely not a knock off…and should be much higher being that this is French Co!…the tag inside is called Tyvek😊
