Fake �Louis Vuitton� (Photos)

The original Louis Vuitton founded the brand in 1854.

Since that time, the French fashion company has grown to become one of the world’s leading international fashion houses. Legitimate ‘LV’ merchandise is considered a luxury brand, so for many without the necessary financial resources, knockoffs and imitation pieces are considered just as good as the real thing.

But not so fast...

There’s a limit to how far you can reasonably stretch the idea of imprinting the LV monogram and have anyone fall for the ruse. Of course, that doesn’t stop people from trying, even if the result is laughable.
