Louis Vuitton is judged almost entirely on the monogram: alignment, colour and how the canvas catches light. Everything else, including stitching density, hardware weight and the smell of the leather, is secondary but still worth checking.
The pieces that come up most often: Zippy and zip wallets, card holders, Neverfull-style totes, belts, scarves and logo apparel.
Monogram alignment is the first test. On a good batch the pattern runs straight and the LVs are not cut off at the seam. The second test is the canvas: it should have a subtle sheen, not a flat plastic look. Hardware should feel solid and the zipper should run smoothly.
Ask for a flat, straight-on photo of the monogram and one of the zipper pull. Uneven pattern alignment is the single most common flaw.
Wallets and card holders are one-size. Belts are usually measured by total length, so check whether it includes the buckle.
