My research doesn’t show any of these styles. 2 cute bags, probably knock offs, but I’m unfamiliar with this brand at all. Any advice? I listed them as knock offs. Was I right? Thrift store finds.
First one looks like Damier gray/white satchel Speedy 30, but lining and stitching is wrong.

Second one has more original details, but I could not find a similar bag anywhere.

It’s great that you’ve asked because it is imperative that all Designer items be authenticated prior to selling them. This is Federal law and of course observed here.
Offhand, LV uses a date code inter-factory system that is not imprinted anywhere near the LOUIS VUITTON made in… stamp imprinted into the leather. It’s usually embossed into the alcantara lining (not real suede, LV does not use real suede) or imprinted on a leather tab that is often under a pocket, in a pocket, or under a D ring, depending on style. LV never uses their LV logo along with their LOUIS VUITTON made in… imprint, never. If you see the larger LV logo above the imprint, it’s a fake. Only the Epi leather line uses the large LV on the front of the bag, and it’s not with the imprint.
There are so many variables that only a series of clear close up pictures would help us determine if your bag is authentic or not. However, if you are planning to sell your bag, a professional, paid authentication by CarolDiva.com who will supply you with an email as proof would be the best way to go. If authenticity is in question, copy photos and have it authenticated or pay someone who’ll authenticate for you like CarolDiva.

Charges $6 per bag and she’s an expert on Louis Vuitton bags/accessories but she also does some other brands now

This subject is closed. Knockoffs in any forms are not allowed on Bonanza. Better to be on a safe side.

I can tell just by looking at them they are a Knockoff. Good Luck
