Louis Vuitton’s menswear head Paul Helbers walked an unorthodox line when theming Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection. The inspirations were derived from the muted palettes of the Amish and the sensibilities of American creative David Lynch.

Louis Vuitton GALLIERA GM Reviews
When I first saw Louis Vuitton monogram canvas GALLIERA GM M56381
, I never gave the Galliera a second thought....that is,where it really looked beautiful. For those of you who remember, Louis Vuitton did a similar hobo-style bag called the Croissant, which came in 2 sizes, PM and GM.
I knew it would be the GM size that would probably suit my needs, but I really had NO idea just how HUGEONGOUS this purse is....
The Louis Vuitton Galliera GM at first appeared as large as a beach bag to me....sooooo BIG. But once it actually sits on your shoulder, it "slouches", so it somewhat shrinks from the fold of the bag.
Another major addition to Ashley Tisdale's massive celebrity it bag collection - the Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Galliera GM.(Ashley Tisdale is an American actress and singer.) I'm not crazy about the piping the runs through the canvas, but overall, it's a gorgeous bag...

Celine Dion Bought Replica Louis Vuitton in Shanghai
Celine Dion is a Canadian recording artist and entrepreneur.

That day, Celine Dion bought approx 10 Louis vuitton bags, and value about $20,000, one authentic bag value.
Shanghai Daily had reported this new.

Replica Louis Vuitton in USA
When you see many girls in the mall with Louis Vuitton replica bags and you want too?
Louis Vuitton is a French Brand founded in 1854. The Louis Vuitton brand and the famous LV monogram are among the world's most valuable brands. Many stars take Louis Vuitton Handbag, Such as Beckham.
But there are a lot of Replica Louis Vuitton bags in USA. Did you know that just over 1% of the items on the market today with the LV trademark are authentic?
That means that there are many more Replica Louis Vuitton handbags roaming around than we’d like to think.
So, how do you know if you have an authentic or replica Louis Vuitton handbag?
1, Watch the stitching: Louis Vuitton is very careful with it's stitching. Stitching should be very even and regular. The same number of stitches will be found in similar locations on similar bags... for example the leather tab that the handle attaches onto on any size monogram Speedy bag will always have 5 regular, even stitches across the top.
2, Watch the age: While vintage pieces follow most of the rules that I discuss in this guide, there are definite differences in vintage pieces. For example, all French Company pieces vary slightly... so if you are looking at a French Company Vintage Vuitton piece, it may differ a bit. For instance, the FC Speedy 30 does NOT always have 5 stitches across the top, does NOT have upside down LVs on one side, and does NOT have Louis Vuitton embossed in the hardware. I'm currently writing a guide to help with these vintage gems- so watch out for it.
3, Interior- Real Louis Vuitton handbags have an expensive colored fabric lining such as canvas, cross grain leather, microfibre suede, or micro monogram textile.
A replica Louis Vuitton handbag usually has a cheap tan or brown suede lining, a plastic lining, or no lining at all.
An authentic LVbag should have ‘Louis Vuitton Paris- made in france’ or ‘Louis Vuitton- made in the USA’ printed somewhere on the interior of the bag.
4, LV logo- On the authentic Louis Vuitton bag the V should be on top of the L when they are crossed.
The reverse is true on the Replica Louis Vuitton handbags.
5, Serial Number- Look to see if the code is labeled.
Authentic Louis Vuitton handbags have date codes or serial numbers.
Louis Vuitton has never used anything called a model number. This is true even for vintage pieces. If you see the label "model number," the bag is a Replica.
Check to see if the bag is from the "French Company for Louis Vuitton." The French Luggage Company (located in the US) did not use date codes or serial numbers, so these pieces have neither.
Most LV bags have a 3 or 4 digit code. The first 2 digits indicate the year and the last 1 or 2 represent the production date.
The first 2 digits are always higher than 80 because Louis Vuitton did not use date codes before 1980. The last 1 or 2 digits are always between 1 and 31 representing the month.
Follow the code guideline that refers to the year the bag was produced. In 1990, the coding system changed to 2 letters followed by 4 numbers.
The letters indicate the factory of origin. The 4 numbers are the manufacturing date, but now the date is staggered.
The first and third numbers are the year, while the second and fourth numbers are the date.
When examining the date, put the numbers into the right order and verify that they represent a plausible date.
Code format changed again in January of 2007. Two letters still represent the factory of origin. The 4 numbers that follow the letters are the week and year the bag was made.
This 5 point hope you buy a satisfacty Louis Vuitton bag.

Date Code Help you Spot Replica Louis Vuitton
By this 1990s, Louis Vuitton had been manufacturing outside of France for years- through it's partnership with the US based "The French Company" (See my guide to authentic Louis Vuitton French Company pieces if you're interested). Not only that, but Louis Vuitton had a factory in Spain and soon had one of their own in San Dimas, California.
This is very interesting, as I mentioned earlier, the two letters correspond with the country of production. So, if a bag has a date code with the CA pre-fix... I know for sure, that that bag is made in Spain. You want to be sure that a bag that you are looking to purchase, has a date code- with a prefix for a country of origin that matches the embossing on the bag that says where it's made. (Made in USA, France, Spain etc.)
So, If I have a bag, with a date code with the CA prefix, and it has "Made in USA" or "Made in France"... I know that at the very least I need to really scruitinize that bag for authenicity. There are a few reasons why a bag could have a US date code and be Made in France... for example, if the lining has been redone... the date code may be very new (so a bag that was made in 1998 in France could end up with a 2006 date code that was repaired in the USA). It's just definitely a reason to get a second look at the bag.
Again, for whatever reason, Louis Vuitton made another change to the date code format beginning in January 2007. You will still find the same two letters followed by four number format, however instead of using the staggered month and year, Louis Vuitton is now using a staggered Week of the Year and Year formula... so that... a date code that says SD 0077 is not a bag that was made in July of 2007, but is a bag that was made in the 7th week of the year 2007- so mid-to-late February of 2007.
So how do you know what those letters mean? Here's a little guide to help you out. You'll find the country followed by the letters that coordinate with that country...
France: A0, A1, A2, AA, AAS (in special order), AN, AR, AS, BA, BJ, BU, CO, CT, DK (in repairs) DU (in special order), ET, FL, LW, MB, MI, NO, RA, RI, SD, SL, SN, SP, SR, TH, VI, VX
USA: DK (in repairs), FC, FH, LA, OS, SD, FL
Spain: CA, LO, LB, LM, LW
Italy: BC, BO, CE, FO, MA, RC, RE, SA, TD
Germany: LP
Switzerland: DI, FA

4 Point Help you Spot Fake Louis Vuitton Purses
1, Look at logo placement. Real Louis Vuitton products always have the logos placed symmetrically. A Louis Vuitton product will never have the LV logo cut off, if the logo appears half on and half off the purse, wallet or whatever, it's fake.
2, Search online to find out exactly what materials, colors, stitching and logo placements are supposed to be for the product you are purchasing. Fakes may be very similar to a particular style, but often get details wrong.
3, Look at the zipper. Fake: The zipper is rough and is not so easy to open. The zipper might be broken; the zipper easily breaks. Real: The zipper is extremely smooth; it's easy to open the purse. One swish of your hand and the purse is open.
4, Examine the leather (the purse itself, not the strap). Fake: The leather is rather hard, tough, and rough. Real: The leather is smooth.
