Frequently Asked Questions

Our authentication service applies to all Louis Vuitton products. We meticulously examine your bags, suitcases, as well as scarves, belts, sunglasses, shoes, jewelry and small leather goods etc to verify their authenticity based on multiple inspection points. Our goal is to provide you with a certificate of conformity that validates the authenticity of your purchases.

If you have the accessory in question, all you have to do is take 6 quality photos showing the details, finishes, seams, signatures in an obvious way (from all angles) and submit them in our conformity checker.

If you do not yet have the Louis Vuitton item (you are about to purchase), please submit the advertisements to us. We will then analyze them using the same principle (artificial intelligence combined with human analysis).

When buying a pre-owned Louis Vuitton bag, ensuring its authenticity is crucial. If you are not an expert on Louis Vuitton products, spotting counterfeit items can be challenging.

We make a complete analysis of the announcement and the conformity of the article according to the photos present and/or absent but also with the relevance of the description written by the advertiser. Finally, we send you a notice to allow you to position yourself and negotiate with the seller in full knowledge of the facts.

Upon receiving your Louis Vuitton item, submit a authenticity checker request through your Authentifier.com account, along with 6 photos of the item taken by you. Once we have completed the authentication process we will issue you with a certificate confirming compliance or non-compliance. If you have paid for your item using Paypal you can use your certificate of non-compliance to obtain a refund.

The best way to ensure you are purchasing an authentic Louis Vuitton bag is to visit an official brand store. If you prefer to buy from an online platform, make sure to verify the authenticity of your Louis Vuitton bag before completing the transaction.

Buying without being accompanied on a site or a second-hand shop involves a significant risk.

Our purchase support service works in two stages. 1- Using our authentication helper service, Authentifier first verifies that the listing photos match an authentic Louis Vuitton bag. 2- Upon receipt of the item, you can use our authentication checker service to send your own photos to us to confirm that it matches the previously validated ad. This ensures your pre-owned Louis Vuitton purchases are verified.

Louis Vuitton never provides a certificate of authenticity for its bags. However, if you need to prove the authenticity of your Louis Vuitton bag in order to sell it on a second-hand luxury goods website, or if you wish to verify the authenticity of your bag purchased on a third-party website, Authentifier will verify the authenticity of your Louis Vuitton bag for you. Following the analysis, you will receive a Attestation of Conformity name confirming that your Louis Vuitton bag is authentic and therefore proving your good faith. 

To authenticate your Louis Vuitton bag, do not hesitate to use our authentication services, using our authentication checker. Indeed, being able to issue a notice of conformity requires expertise that we have developed in our laboratory, thanks to artificial intelligence and through our analysts with several decades of experience in the field of Louis Vuitton bag authentication. Even if you are presented with an invoice or a certificate from the luxury house, we advise you to check with an approved independent third party such as Authentifier. 

To check the serial number of a Louis Vuitton bag, you usually just need to look on one of the sides, inside the bag. The location depends on the luxury bag model. You will find a series of 2 letters and 4 numbers on all Louis Vuitton bags designed after 1980. For older bags, there will sometimes only be the provenance.
The two letters in the Louis Vuitton serial number indicate the country of manufacture (its factory). The first and third digits of the Louis Vuitton serial number correspond to the week the bag was manufactured. The second and fourth digits indicate the year the authentic Louis Vuitton bag was manufactured.

To have a Louis Vuitton bag authenticated, you no longer need to travel far and wide, as you can have your Louis Vuitton bag authenticated online by a certified expert. Therefore, use Authentifier's 100 % online authentication service to verify the authenticity of your pre-owned Louis Vuitton bag. 
Within the Authentifier laboratory approved by the Ministry of Research and Innovation, we detect signs of non-compliance and compliance to protect you from counterfeits. Following the analysis, you will receive your personal certificate of conformity.
