"Is this an Authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami?" has to be one of the most common questions these days. With the introduction of the authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami range it seems as though two huge new industries were created.
New industry #1 - Seasoned lovers of Louis Vuitton and 'newbies' alike working tirelessly to grab one of these classics in the making.
New Industry #2 - Seasoned copiers rubbing their hands with glee and advertising in the papers for more workers to fill the demands they were sure would follow - and they were not wrong!
But how CAN you make sure you avoid spending thousands of dollars (because that is what an authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami will probably cost you now!) and ending up being the victim of the "old bait & switch" move (For those who haven't read about that particulate trick yet - this is where a seller shows a picture of an authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami, has you falling over yourself to buy, charges you a vast sum and then sends you a fake of whatever dubious quality!)
Thankfully, there are a few ways that you can seriously reduce your chance of being the unwitting buyer of a replica.
1 Unless they have changed the range recently (??!!?? - unlikely as they ceased production in summer 2003) the only items available in the authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami Cherry Blossom range are the:-
1. Retro
2. Papillon
3. Porte Tresor International Organizer Wallet
4. Pochette
5. Address book
6. Bracelet
7. Porte Monnaie Plat Change Purse
8. Pochette Clefs Key/change holder
9. Mirror Case
10. Pink character scarf. ( I believe they also created further colors of scarf which I have never managed to track down, specifically blue based with light blue blossoms, cream with red blossoms and yellow with pink blossoms.)
Therefore, if someone is offering for sale an Authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami Speedy or Keepall or Mini Looping etc in the Cherry Blossom range, you can be fairly sure it is a replica.
2 Always think logically when you see the price - leave emotion out of it if at all possible. If you consider that the Retro handbag was sold in the stores for $950.00 ( or was it $955.00?) then you are NOT going to see one being offered for less anywhere.
Would you buy something this marketable and sell at a huge loss?
No, so neither is the seller advertising it for $150.00 if it is an authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami. It's a replica. Be prepared to pay anything up to double the original store price for anything in the range, including the less circulated items such as the Mirror and Scarves!
3 First of two good tips for avoiding replicas - The majority of copies out there have the coloring for the flower faces totally wrong, using a bright yellow which should be a much lighter pastel shade.
Second good tip - the placement of the LV symbol is standard on the bags, doesn't differ on each "build" so use it as a ready reckoner. Pay special attention to the flap on the Retro as many replicas place the LV symbol low down, not almost on the top ridge where they should be.
For both of these tips check out the page dealing with the Louis Vuitton Murakami bags - the pictures on there are of authentic Louis Vuitton Murakami Cherry Blossom bags and they should be used for a visual comparison.

Authentic Louis Vuitton
Authentic Louis Vuitton first came into existence in 1854 when luggage manufacturer Louis Vuitton created a mark for his company's handbags to luggage articles, office stationery, pens and personal accessories, etc.
Since then authentic LV has become a must-have luxury item, a prized personal possession denoting style, elegance, and the ultimate in good taste.
Since then, authentic Louis Vuitton items have also been the target of counterfeiters; unscrupulous criminals eager to pass off a fake as the real thing. With some of the Limited Edition ranges this is done in huge numbers, such as the authentic Vuitton Murakami range. This piracy has become so rampant that the market is flooded with inferior counterfeit goods and the brand image suffers. Unsuspecting buyers are misled into buying inferior quality goods under the impression they are purchasing authentic goods.
Two kinds of people are eager to buy the knock-offs.
The first group knows authentic LV. They want "name brand" recognition that authentic Louis Vuitton brings, but they're not able or willing to pay the price that it costs to own authentic LV items.
The second group of consumers - the largest buyers of replicas - doesn't know enough about the authentic products to make an informed decision when buying. They don't know that Louis Vuitton wallets have serial numbers, or that authentic handbags are never made of cloth.
You can get a few ideas on how to spot a fake LV here and some hints on how to tell the difference between real and fake Louis Vuitton here.
In India, Vuitton has launched an aggressive drive to confiscate duplicate and counterfeit products. As a result, a raid was conducted by police in North Goa and 20-25 lakhs worth of fake Louis Vuitton products were confiscated.
Authentic Louis Vuitton is particularly popular in Asia, making that market a prime target for counterfeiters offering knock-offs as authentic Louis Vuitton. Most of the knock-off items distributed in Asia (particularly in Thailand) that are marked as authentic Louis Vuitton are fakes produced in China.
Internet as well as brick-and-mortar store buyers are urged to be sure that the seller guarantees in writing that the purchase is authentic Louis Vuitton.
Louis Vuitton aficionados 'down under' are also having problems with imported fakes. However, thanks to highly trained Australian Customs officers using a combination of sophisticated risk assessment and intelligence techniques, as well as cutting-edge technology, genuine Louis Vuitton items were easily separated from fakes. There were more 100 seizures of counterfeits posing as real Louis Vuitton, involving almost 2000 separate items.
On fashionable Long Island near New York City, fourteen people were arrested and approximately $750,000 in so-called genuine Louis Vuitton merchandise was seized as the result of an undercover investigation into the sale of counterfeit items purportedly made by top designers. "Counterfeiting is a criminal offence and is highly detrimental to customers, companies and governments in terms of product quality, employment and taxes," said Jean-Marc Gallot, CEO of Louis Vuitton North America. He says the company is deeply committed to ensuring that customers who want authentic Louis Vuitton are buying Louis Vuitton. "We would like to congratulate the District Attorney's Squad of the Nassau County Police Department and thank them for such a successful investigation."
Authentic Louis Vuitton bags and products are available all over the Internet - or are they? Authentic Louis Vuitton is frequently NOT authentic when purchased from a 'shady' online source or from an online auction site.
Genuine Louis Vuitton IS available online, but consumers need to be mindful so that they are indeed purchasing authentic Louis Vuitton handbags, luggage, accessories and other products from the famed designer/manufacturer.

Louis Vuitton Handbags
Louis Vuitton Handbags are city bags that commute to the office, makes sales calls, and are tucked into the drawer of female power executives everywhere.
It is an evening bag that Hollywood vixens and Broadway bombshells carry to awards ceremonies and after-parties.
Louis Vuitton handbags are a four-season, any reason accessory that can make a trendy outfit classic and a classic outfit trendy.
Imagine all that with just one little LV handbag!
Vuitton handbags are a symbol of a tradition of Vuitton excellence that goes back centuries. Before there were any LV handbags, there was LV luggage, manufactured in 1854 by Louis Vuitton Malletier.
Malletier's unyielding standards for design — insisting on extraordinary quality and craftsmanship in every product — continue to be reflected in all LV handbags that are offered today.
One Vuitton handbag may feature a sweet clutch handle, reminiscent of the 50's and a classic LV handbag detail for decades. Another handbag is cherished for its long, sleek shoulder strap that's as comfortable as it is sexy.
Still another is so petite that it needs no handle or strap at all, but is clutched in the hands of ingénues, women of 'a certain age,' and femme fatales of all ages.
Others are known by name and create a general following among Louis Vuitton lovers.
An LV handbag such as the dresses up the simplest ensemble. With their clean lines and distinctive styling they are the one designer handbag that never gets left behind. You'll see handbags and matching luggage at the airport in London, Louis Vuitton handbags doing double-duty as a beach bag on the coast of France, and classic Loui Vuitton handbags in canvas on the streets on New York, Barcelona, Milan. Anywhere fashion is king, the Louis Vuitton handbags are the queen.
If you are a dedicated Louis Vuitton handbags lover then you might find some common interests with a self confessed Vuittonaholic!

Staying in Fashion With a Louis Vuitton Replica Handbag
Handbags are an important part of fashion. Just like the outfits worn by women, the type of handbag that a lady carries will affect the way her wardrobe looks. Since the early 1900s, carrying bags made by popular designer labels has been very fashionable. However, because of the high prices which these bags are sold for, not many people are able to afford them. An easy solution to this problem is by buying replica handbags. Replica handbags, such as Balenciaga replica handbags are designed to look like the original. Women are thus able to repeat the look in their wardrobe at a more affordable cost. Most replica handbags look just as good as the original. Louis Vuitton replica handbags are popular favorites amongst many people today. This is because of the legend and respect that is associated with the Louis Vuitton (LV) label.
LV is undoubtedly one of the oldest designers in the fashion industry today. Opened in 1854 by the eponymous designer, the fashion house was dedicated to the designing and manufacturing of luxury leather goods. The high quality of the fashion shop soon won it favorites and orders for its product grew very quickly. When the founding designer died, the fashion line was taken over by his son, George Vuitton. It is he who is credited as starting the monogram trend that has become very popular today. He also diversified the product line, introducing wallets and purses alongside the bags and trunks that the company was known for.
By 1997, LVMH was selling clothing and jewellery alongside it luxury good line. The fashion house had shops in all of the major continents of the world. The hit television show, "Sex and the City" made reference to the label more than once. However, despite this impressive growth, it is still its leather bags that have drawn the most attention from the public. Some of the popular brands found with the LV name include the Speedy, the Steamer and the Pochette.
Owning an LV bag is sure to improve the wardrobe of any woman. Its refined style makes it the perfect adornment on a female shoulder. With its success and long history (over a century and half), LV bags can be described as being the Rolls Royce of the handbag world. They are designed by hand and can take well over 60 hours to make. They are designed to be lightweight, strong, sturdy, and supple whilst still being fashionable. Many of these bags are also highly resistant to external factors such as scratches or water. Most LV owners end up owning their bags for many years without an incident.
These bags have led the forefront of fashion for over 100 years. They have been found on the arms of actresses, musicians, politicians and simple housewives. They are carried to ceremonies, dinners, offices and travel trips. It doesn't matter if a lady is carrying an original or a well designed copy; the effect of the LV name is just as strong today as it has always been classy, simple, flawless and timeless.
Connor Sullivan recently purchased two Louis Vuitton replica handbags for his wife and daughter. His nieces purchased Balenciaga replica handbags to use for spring and summer.
