Hey I just wanted to do an authenticity check on these LV evidence sunglasses. No offense whatsoever to the person selling this, I just want to be on the safe side

Apparently the LV evidence is supposed to have a bag for a cloth and this one does as shown in the pictures. However when I asked the seller if he had the cloth, he said he lost it, but ive read a guide before and the guide said that real lv evidences do not have cloths as the soft bag doubles as a cloth.

Using an iPod right now so not easy to upload pics embedded so I'm gonna have to burden you all with links.

Please help me out with your trained eyes! Many thanks!

One more thing is that these pics are all supplied to me by the seller, but the third pic for the case makes me a bit suspicious because it is a .png and the rest are .jpg...

Also, these are the eastern fit as the seller said.

Often quite difficult to tell a fake from the real, especially with something like sunglasses.

If the seller is in China or Pakistan or something, they'll be fake. Is this on Ebay?

TBH I wouldn't take the chance, unless the price is only a few bucks. LV is probably the most copied brand there is.

Sorry I hope I could help, but with what you have provided, I must say it doesn't really help either. So i guess you will know whether they are auth. the hard way. That is after you have bought them.

Could be the pictures but the case looks too dark, almost black, but it's supposed to be brown. Also, on the top view picture, you're supposed to see a number on the right side ...I'd say fake, definitely. Unless your guy sucks really bad at taking pictures.

Only 1 picture of the glasses? Don't buy it for more than $5, I'd be willing to bet they're fake. In my experience, sellers use blurry photos to hide any scratches/stains on items. They know their photos are blurry and that's the whole point. Even if they are real, they are really ugly from the picture he gave.

TBH I think LVMH should kill the 'Louis Vuitton' brand off. Does anyone actually buy real LV these days?

I still do. Just walk into LV stores and buy..easy as that. No need for silly legit check threads this way.

HI I MIGHT BE TWO YEARS TOO LATE, BUT I SUGGEST LOOKING SOMEWHERE ELSE, There are eastern fit indeed, but the pictures you showed might be a replica. dont make the same mistake that i did. I have the western fit but i only found out now (after 11 months), that i just wasted $350.00 on a pair of replicas, they look good as the real thing, but i have friends and some ebay sellers who have the expertise in smelling (LOL) and eyeing real from fakes. Counterfeiters are getting good these days. it's hard to tell honestly. But if i were you, i wouldn't take the chance. i like to shop online, just reply if you have more questions.

Hi there

I was wondering if you could help me out as you look like the most sensible person here.

I'm looking to buy these and have come across a couple with the serial number: Z0350.

The box is blue not brown and everything is orange as in the bag etc
