Anna Kournikova does Louis Vuitton

Anna Kournikova does Louis Vuitton

On with our Celebs week! I have decided to feature an athletic woman. And who better to do so with than the ever beautiful Anna Kournikova. Tell all your boys out there peering over your shoulder to quit drooling: she is not a model, she’s a tennis player (although I swear men forget that). I must admit that I really do think she is beautiful and she wears this Louis Vuitton Multicolor Speedy 30 like it is her job. If I were the bag I would not want to leave her perfectly toned and tan arm either, or the arm of her boy toy Enrique for that matter ;-)

    I’ve seen Jessica Simpson carry this bag around, and I think Anna looks a billion times better with it. First of all, everytime I see Jessica carry LV, the bag has no shape to it and it flops around like a cheap knockoff bag. Second of all, Anna is rockin’ those heels not slouchy cowboy boots that JS favors.

    I think her bag is fake… the colour of the logo to the top right of each LV should NOT be the same colour as the colour of the LV logo!!!

    I don’t think her bag is fake. Why would a celeb like her buy a knock-off LV bag? It would be something else if she were not toting a designer bag, but I can not beleive that she would buy a fake LV bag?!

    It is very possible that a celebrity could end up with a fake bag. Most of them do not do their own shopping and rely on stylists and publicists to get them their designer items. These people aren’t always the most honest people in the world and could try to pass a fake bag off to a star, especially if the bag was difficult to get a hold of.

    Some of the LVs that I’ve seen Jessica Simpson carry around look like such crap, I am almost sure they are knock offs.

    I may be wrong… but the way I see it is that because celebs are in the spotlight all the time, why would they have a fake bag? It would be a scandal. Not to mention celebs do not get put on wait lists like the rest of the world- if they want a bag it is theirs. I may be wrong though- but I do beleive this bag is authentic.

    I understand why they would never want to be caught with a fake bag. But there are “AAA quality” fakes that cost hundreds of dollars because they look like the real thing. Only by close inspection can you tell they are fakes, and you definitely can’t tell by a paparazzi snapshot.

    Unfortunately, many celebrities get taken advantage of by their entourages. If their accountants and managers can rob them of millions, I’m sure a personal assistance can sneak a knockoff into their closet.

    I don’t think Anna’s bag is fake in this picture, though.

      actually the bag shes carrying is fake becuase the real multi colored canvas bag has a red interior, her bag has beige. and the leather on the handles is yellow, not brown.

    her bag is FAKE. i put the pic up in a handbag forum… if you look at real louis vuitton multicolor bags, the colours are not supposed to match up that way.

    i am not saying she bought it fake, or that she even knows it’s fake — the person above is right, they have people buying their things for them. it is possible someone bought it for her either knowingly, or unknowingly. all i know is that her bag is not authentic.

    Jul 19, 2005 4:13PM
  9. Megs says:

    I need hard evidence to prove that it is fake- I’m sure we would all love to know either way– So tell us what it is you know designerbaglady! I still just don’t see it being fake.

    And yes, I am sure celebs are scammed into lots of things, but I do think many of them do their own shopping too.

    Jul 19, 2005 4:18PM
  10. designerbaglady says:

    I am not really sure what you mean by “hard evidence” but here is a link to an authentic multicolor speedy (found on the ONLY site authorized to sell louis vuittons online):

    http://images.eluxury.com/assets_server/product/10470364/p10470364_ph_althero_White.jpg

    As mentioned before, you will notice that the colours of the flowers to the top right of each LV symbol do not match the colour of the LV symbol but in Anna’s bag, the colours do match (they are NEVER supposed to match – that is one dead giveaway that the bag is a fake).

    Anyway, I have sent this link to other people that are part of a handbag community and asked them to comment on whether they think the bag is authentic or not…

    Hope this helps!

    i dont know what hard evidence you need to see that her bag is fake, but how about a picture of an authentic speedy from eluxury.com? http://www.eluxury.com/browse/product_detail.jhtml?styleid=10470364&SectionID=6000

    if i’m not mistaken, authentic multicolour speedies have 33 different colors silkscreened on to them. anna’s bag only has 5 or 6. not to mention the fact that the flower above and diaganol to the LV is NEVER the same color as the LV. that is a dead giveaway, if you cant get it from the dull, ugly, and very few colors.

    Jul 19, 2005 5:01PM
  12. Jen says:

    Celeb or not, that bag is definitely fake. (Not all celebs carry authentic bags – look at Paris Hilton)

    Anyway, here’s some proof that it’s fake:

    - the real bag has 33 different colors (not 5ish like this bag)
    - the real bag does not have red LVs
    - on the real bag, the LV is never the same color as the symbol to the upper right. In this picture you can see yellow-yellow, red-red, purple-purple.

    Those are a few starters for picking out really obvious fakes (like this bag).

    Here are a few pictures:

    real:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4746740259&category=57871&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

    fake (with colors like Anna’s):

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6785765839&category=63852&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

    Hope this helps

  13. Jen says:

    Ok, first off, the LV should NOT be the same color as the fleur cadicorner to it.
    Second, the handles are too long.
    Third, the handles look plasticy.
    Fourth, there are NO red LV symbols on a multicolore piece.
    Fifth, real multicolores have 33 colors. This one has six.

    I have the real bag from Eluxury, and it looks nothing like that.
    This is not even a good fake at all. Yuck.

    Jul 19, 2005 5:03PM
  14. Megs says:

    I see what you all are saying now- the LV multicolor is always hard to decipher between it being authentic or fake. The picture isn’t fully clear but I did know that the authentic one was 33 colors- let’s blame my bad judgement on old eyes and age ;-)

  15. Queli Callarossi says:

    Hello – I’m the published author of the book “The LV Guru”: How to Buy Authentic Louis Vuitton on Ebay. The bag you see Anna holding in the above picture is absolutely counterfeit. The handles are way too long and thin. The interior of the bag pictured above is beige. Look carefully. The correct color of the inside of ALL white multicolor Vuitton bags is red (ie: rasberry alcantra). The colors of the monograms are completely wrong on the bag Anna is carrying – there are 33 colors on the authentic Murakami Speedy 30 and her bag very obviously doesn’t display 33 colors – hers has 8 at most. In an authentic multicolor Vuitton bag there fleur to the top right of the “LV” monogram will NEVER be the same color. Now look at Anna’s bag. See the yellow “LV” monogram? Look to the top right. It’s yellow too. See the purple “LV” monogram on her bag? Now look to the top right: purple. See the RED “LV” monogram? There are NO RED “LV” MONOGRAMS ON ANY MURAKAMI VUITTON PIECES. If you are still in doubt, I suggest you call Vuitton headquarters at 1-866-VUITTON

    Also, I just wanted to note that Jessica Simpson, although I’m not a fan, does have ALL authentic Louis Vuitton bags.

    All of you LV autheticators are awsome! I’m sure everyone appretiates the valuable information. If I were a celeb I would never be caught dead sporting a fake- but that is just me. I guess that is why it was hard to see the evidence poiting against the bag being real.

    And yes, eLuxury is always authentic and the way to go!

  18. chemlex says:

    Damn. . . that sounds like a lot of “hard evidence.” Everyone jumped on it really quick, too.

    The Purse Police have really nailed Anna against the wall.

    Next week, you should have a “Celebrities Caught With Fake Bags” week.

    Jul 19, 2005 5:12PM
  19. Megs says:

    You all are the best purse police out there!! Anyone know about other celebs caught carry nasty fakes??

    I learned a great lesson today- never assume just because they are a celeb that they are carrying the real deal. Shame on me and props to my readers!

    Chemlex- I don’t know if I could come up with enough evidence of celebs with knock offs- have any pics or help there?

    Or is there another topic you would all like for next week??

  20. CrankyBiscuit says:

    I see that I’m getting in here late in the game, but when I saw that pic the first thing that came to mind was “FAKE!!”

    The easiest tell IS the red LVs. Authentic ones do not have these, even though the pic on eluxury has them. There has been speculation that LV did this to throw off counterfeiters, or that the picture were taken before the bag went into final production.

    As an aside, the worst offender in terms of carrying fake LV is none other than Paris Hilton. Even Nicole Ritchie has been spotted carrying a fake.

    Jul 19, 2005 5:31PM
  21. Lauren says:

    paris hilton has been photographed carrying around a fake multicolor papillon (LV doesn’t even MAKE that style in multicolor).

  22. designerbaglady says:

    Megs – as you can see, there are lots of enthusiastic LV lovers out there with trained eyes :) The only other celebs I know of that have pix carrying fakes are Paris Hilton (fake MC Papillon) and Ashlee Simpson (fake Balenciaga)… I am not sure if three are enough to make an article?

    Jul 19, 2005 5:34PM
  23. Megs says:

    I myself got here late in the game! I’m not the biggest LV fan so I will have to have my readers keep me in check! Sorry for the blunder! And thanks for all of you being so damned smart about LV!

    Now someone explain to me why a celeb would carry a fake? Like Paris Hilton- She has more money than most of the world combined and she carries a fake?! EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!!

    Jul 19, 2005 5:39PM
  24. Sara says:

    Haha.. Anna has an ugly fake bag!! And just to let you know, Megs, not to sound rude, but the LV Multicolore is the easiest LV to spot if it’s fake. Seriously, I don’t think I can spot fakes if it isn’t a Multicolore without inspecting it myself. Top right hand star & few colors = DEAD GIVEAWAY

    Jul 19, 2005 6:08PM
  25. Megs says:

    Sara- None taken. I am not really a fan of LV, so I did not pay close attention to the bag. I think LV bags are made into fakes the most typically anyhow. I just made a stereotypical assumption without thinking twice. Definetly my fault! :-)

    Geeze, I can’t even decifer these colors in the photo, red, yellow or what. *squinting*

    Jul 19, 2005 6:44PM
  27. chemlex says:

    I think celebrities have just as good of a sense of what something *should* cost as normal people.

    LV charges a ridiculous amount of money for their bags that are CANVAS. They are lovely bags, but $2000 lovely? Even if you have all the money in the world, the fact that they charge that much can be offensive and off-putting. The Suhali collection, however, is priced fairly and if I had that kind of money to throw around eluxury.com is the first place I’d go.

    I’ve heard that LV says they have to charge that much, and keep raising the cost of their bags because of the counterfeiters. By continually going higher and higher they are just creating more business for the knockoff dealers.

    But then again, I’ve seen street vendors sell knockoff Coach and D&B. People will pay $50 for something they can catch on sale for around $100. I think it’s just human nature to be frugal.

    Jul 19, 2005 7:16PM
  28. chemlex says:

    Oh, and and I forgot to mention that most celebrities are worth as much as we think they are. And most aren’t liquid-rich (meaning that their money is tied up in all the other stupid crap they buy.). Managers, agents, the government and other leeches take a cut from their paychecks. And if they’re music stars, the record companies take everything they can.

    Why do you think so many celebrities will show up at the opening of an enveloped if there is a gift bag involved?

    And the classy Paris Hilton – before she started making money off her porn movie, and lousy reality show – she was making no money. Her grandfather is the Hilton with all the money, and bad news for Paris, he has a lot of grandkids. Her inheritance is only a couple million (and that’s before estate tax).

    Designerbaglady, can you please post a link to the community that you are a part of?

    The way they scurried over here to play handbag detectives really impressed me, and I can’t wait to see what else they have to say.

    Jul 19, 2005 11:02PM
  31. Tuesday says:

    Another way to easily spot fakes is uneven stitching, as in, the canvas isn’t perfectly lined up. You can tell on the sides of a bag towards the bottom when you see all of a “LV” at the left side and only part of the “LV” (in the same row) on the right side.
    Also, I was told that authentic LVs NEVER sew or cover over the LV symbol. (Although, the bag shown on eluxury does have LV sybols covered)
    Anyone know about this?

    hello all, I have an authentic speedy 25, purchased in 1990. And now, 15 years later, it is in excellent condition and well worth the $375 I paid for it back then. The ‘canvas’ is trully scratch/tear resistant – I believe that was the idea – that the canvas be extremely durable, for travelling, I think the luggage/steam trunks came first? anyhow, the conversation was very interesting…

    Just the fact the interior is different to every single authentic one would be a give away, why would they make just ONE authentic one with different interior?! Plain obvious its fake… LV MC is tacky anyways so it really suits her…

    Who cares if it is a fake, knockoff or real. She is carrying it because she likes it. I think “real” bags are an overpriced form of advertising for something. I proudly carry fakes and I don’t give a tinkers damn if someone doesn’t like it.

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=45229&item=6790091375&rd=1
    i’m not thinking of buying, but i was reading all of your tips on how to tell a fake from the real dreal, but to me this seems real and follows all your guidelines. but since it’s on ebay, i automatically would assume it’s fake. so yeah, just wondering what you guys thought. thanks

    suni, i agree, people are intitled to have fake bags, you guys are critisizing because your’e jelous, i bet some of you also carry fake bags and don’t even know it. not everybody can afford the REAL thing, even some celebrities don’t have the money, so i think you should let it go and face the fact that there is a fake bag inside of all of us. and i bid you good day

    harajuku girl ~ You might want to do some reading as to what you’re supporting when you buy a counterfeit bag. One of the major issues I have is that it supports terrorism. I could go on and on with other reasons, but that should be enough to stop anyone from buying one.

    Regarding the whole, people can’t afford the cost of the authentic designer bag, so they buy fakes. Isn’t that obnoxious really?? I mean these bags are atrociously overpriced, but that’s because a certain discerning individual wants to own that quality. Aren’t people who buy fakes trying to be or emulate something they’re not?? So, don’t try to be something you’re not, fakes suck!!!!

    I think it’s funny how celebs don’t do their own shopping. (Though I DO know for a fact that Paris DOES do her own shopping when it comes to Louis Vuitton. (Don’t ask, long story) I do it too. But as for the design on her bag. The only part of a murakami bag where there are consecutive colors is yellow. It has a yellow “LV” to its upper-right, another yellow (More pale) and below the “LV” another yellow (More mustard-y) LOL anywho, that’s all for me…

    soooo fake. The bag looks like its the size of a speedy 25 which lv downt make not a 30. on the side there are only two rows of lvs, on the real one there is 3 that bag is too small and the colours r not correct and the interior is not correct ew

    For everyone that says the real lv in the white multicolor doesn’t have red lv’s, you are sadly mistaken. Go to the http://www.eluxury website.

    Ok. I need to ask you people what credentials you all have to authenticate bags when even the ‘authentic’ sites have conflicting information?

    Even the people who CLAIM they are ‘published authors’ (The LV guru? Queli Callarossi?) are nothing of the sort. Try googling that author and that book, it only comes up in EBAY, or on this site. Amazon? Nothing. Barnes and Noble? Nothing.
    It just annoys me to no end when people have the nerve to anoint themselves “experts” or “published authors out of their asses.

    You can’t tell anything about the colors from a faded amateur snapshot.

    The only way you’re gonna know is if you drag your bag to one of the actual stores and ask an experienced salesperson, and god-knows-why none of them have documented their experience considering the value of their expertise.

    Look, you people just ought to be careful when you get your bags off Ebay or anywhere else not authorized, because the fakes ARE getting better as time goes on.
    Think about it: Coach, as ghetto as they are, have all their manufacturing out of China. It’s not too far of a stretch anymore to have an extremely well-made counterfeit.

    Ladies REALLY!!!!!! Stop IT!!!!!! It’s ghetto to shop on ebay anyway, you never know what your getting. So, why debate or complain about it? Just go to the mall and get it!!! At least you know what your getting and if your complaining about the price, certainly you must be living above your means. If your buying a fake, why? Do you and stop trying to keep up with the Jone’s.

Do you think men give a damn about a real or fake purse? Wrong ladies, they look at the the face, tits, and ass. I hope you old maids have fun cuddling up to your purses, cause no one is going to buy you ugly broads anything. Stupid Bitches deserve to be sliced up.

    Some celebrities can’t tell the difference between a real and a fake bag. If they haven’t seen the real thing before, that leaves out the comparator. Vice versa for only having the real thing — who collects two of the “same” bag?

    I also doubt that jet-set celebrities have little time for scrutinizing the validity of each handbag they receive, like those who are vigilant with receiving their money’s worth (I’m one of many).

    Therefore, if they buy them off the street, knowing the bag is a fake, which is plausible without feeling a responsibility that fans and observers believe celebrities should accept with their social status, they perpetuate the ignorance that comes with buying fake bags.

    On the other hand, if you don’t have the money, and you want a bag that looks so very much like a popular one that costs too much, then more power to you.

    However, if you’re always in the limelight, being scrutinized by loyalists, you’d best be prepared to explain yourself, or be prepare to eat crow.

    I think that if I can get away with a fake LV bag, I can fool a lot of people. I have a speedy 25 that I paid big bucks for and I know it’s real. I would buy from canal st.

    Another give away is the brass hardware on the corners, they’re too small. I just can’t beleive she would be seen with an obvious fake rather than authentic or even mirror image which only an expert would tell the difference, so if you’re going to buy faux, buy mirror image, not canal street fakes. The cost is about $200 for a good fake. Or do what I want to do and save up for a real one, especially LV – they are timeless. To justify the price, here is what I would do….take the price of the bag divide it by the # of times used: If you spend $1000 on a bag but use it once or twice, it’s money thrown away, but if you were to use it everyday, then hey go for it! My theory is shop for clothes at a place like H&M which make trendy affordable clothes and save your money to buy a real LV and you will look like a million! :)

    Well ive just taken my sweet time on reading all your guys comments, so much drama over a bag. Although I must say why would you buy a fake, and why would they invent a fake bag that really bothers me, Real authentic bags make me happy i still dont know how to tell the diffrence between the brown ones, and to think that some person could be reading this thinking hmm so the real ones dont have the same colour “LV’s” they could just go and make that right now. Also, can anyone tell me how acutally you can tell a real bag, most girls carry around fake bags these days..

    poor anna, she probably thinks this bag is real.
    this is a purse blog, and of course people who go here are passionate about their designer bags. It takes some learning and experience to tell an authentic bag from a fake one. But after a while it becomes natural. People who love accessories are into details of the big picture. That’s why it soon becomes natural to notice a lot of fakes in a glimpse. Each detail is remembered. I’m sure a lot of people who read this blog can relate to that (its a purse blog, hello!). counterfeit bags are illegal, and it has been said that its one of the businesses that create funds for crimes and terrorism.
    Some people take pride in their ipods, laptops, houses, baked stuff, make-up, here in the purse blog, it’s all about bags my dear. :) i, for one, love spotting fake and real ones. it’s like a game to me!

    Hi All,
    All you Purse Police are a little off the wall. What difference does it make if it’s a knock-off? NONE. I say SO WHAT!! [a statement, ot a question]. There is a problem with groupies, they expect perfection. I’ve seen LV knock-offs in China that are just as good as the real thing and cost $55.00. I’m sure the LV people would be able to tell the difference but the people that buy the KO’s will most likely never be in the company of the “LV experts”.
    So in ending this rant, CHILL OUT. BTW, is there anyone on this forum play tennis as so as Anna? I leave the good looks question out for now.

    So yeah. I’ve just spent like the past 30+ minutes reading this whole blog. Interesting. You know…some people have a purse thing…like in my life, I don’t ask people to understand why I’m tickled by designer purses…I just say…”It’s my thing…let it be.” And quite luckily, I do have a husband that may not fully understand it…but accepts it and allows me the blessing to own a few. To be honest…we both think that fake Louis Vuittons suck. Cause…we feel it depreciates the real ones. Like when I carry around my Multicolore Pochette Accessoires, I feel like people are just thinking…”FAKE!” cause I’m a minority. But you know…whatever. More power to the girls with the fakes and are proud of it. I was thinking that I’d get a fake Louis to use as a diaper bag…you know…get poop on it…don’t care. haha. But I’m about to be getting my 2nd Louis, the Speedy 25…so I’m hyped. Also, I feel bad telling these girls in town that their bags are fake but I finally did. I mean…come on!…they paid like $50 for it. They couldn’t believe it was fake, too. They were kinda shocked. And one got a terrible looking black Multicolore Pochette Accessoires off Ebay. I just didn’t have the heart to tell her cause she was so proud. The studs were too big, so on and so on. Well, I’ll leave it at this. Just my little blog to add to the blog. =))

YOU REALLY NEED TO LEARN ABOUT LV BECAUSE YOUR MAKING YOURSELF LOOK LIKE AND IDIOT…

    i am a louis vuitton expert and i can tell you that this is replica “fake” bag it is not the real louis vuitton speedy at all!!!!!!!

    why someone with her money would have a bag that cost about 60USD when the real one is 1700USD is above me

    the 2 studs are to big Louis Vuitton have inpressed studs on all studded bags

    the monogram is not a colour Louis Vuitton would ever enteraian

    this bag is a terrible FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Louis Vuitton bags do go a honey colour in time but never orange i have had my louis vuitton speedy now for just over 2 years and it is just a little bit darker colour handles as the day i brought it

    this is a outrage to her wheather she was doing it as a prank or what it is a very stupid thing to do!!!!!!!!!!

  83. missbabydolce says:

    yes it is a fake… thats been stated..

    But.. the reason why i am posting is above people said they are proud to carry fakes…

    DO you know that fakes are illegal? you are proud to be breaking the law by buying a FAKE bag? yes it is illegal because they are putting a registered TRADEMARK (TM)& copyrighted name on a piece of pleather and canvas just to imitate the real one?

    if you like it but cant afford it then buy something like it… not something off the street for 50 bucks that says the name on it..

    i mean i have real bags (mostly chanel) but when i wanted the hermes birkin and couldnt afford it .. i got something that LOOKS like it..

    and last…

    eluxury’s pics ARE supposed to throw off counterfeiters because they are pics of prototypes made 4 months in advance of the actual mass-production of the bag.

  87. tammy says:

    Yep, it’s fake. The bag on Eluxury is the prototype, the bags were changed when they went into production. No red LVs. I suggest mypoupette for tips on buying real LVs. If it’s not at the boutique or on eluxury, check with mypoupette before shelling out so much dough for a bag. A few tips to remember, LVs price tags are hidden on the inside of the bag, LV doesn’t have tags with a little plastic circle and price tag hanging off the handles. And they don’t use fabric swaps either. Also, just because there’s a reciept doesn’t mean it’s real, they knock those off too. I wonder if Anna knew any of this. But hey, that’s her only flaw, something tells me she can live with it!

    Im 13, and I own a Keepall 60 Canvas, and a Pouchette(sp?) Accessories in Multicolore. The one Anna is carrying looks kinda fake to me, but we could be wrong.
    Yeah the multicolors are easy to knockoff because of the color order. My mom prefers to buy the Canvas, Cherry Blossom, or even the Epi leather line to make sure its 100% authentic Louis Vuitton.

    Jun 4, 2006 11:25PM
  89. LParisV says:

    The bag is fake! That’s all that’s need to say, as people commented before me have given evidence that indeed this is not a Louis Vuitton product.

    Oh and one more thing, Aliana, give me a break sweet heart your comment is as fake as Anna Kournikova’s bag. If you knew anything, your mom COULDN’T buy the Monogram Cherry Blossom designed by Takashi Murakami in 2003. It was a special edition design that lasted 3 months. So if she prefers to to get the Cherry Blossom design for maximum authenticy, then she shops in Thailand.
    By the way, the Monogram Canvas is the most counterfeited design, so why would she buy it to be assured it’s authentic, everyone thinks it’s fake. Grow up honey, you’re pathetic!

    The pull leaf is too big, colors are just horrid, far cry from 33 colors on that bag.There should also be three rows of lv’s on the side, not two.

    I dont know why so many are shocked that Anna is carrying a a fake, damn Paris Hilton carries a fake MC pap.. Shocked,.. NOT!

    “IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE REAL THING THAN YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGN TO HAVE IT OBVIOUSLY” someone named marcus posted that on here, and i think that is by far the snobbiest comment i have ever heard. because someone has alot of money means they are better than someone?

    also, i wanted to say, about the purses that are the prototypes with the red monograms and like 8 colors (such as the one anna is holding) can actually be real, but they are the prototypes, and the prototype bags are not sold to the public, and are stamped with a faint red stamp of numbers and letters on the outside of the bag that is almost illegible. to obtain a prototype (that will have this) such as annas you must know someone working in the company. i don’t actually know what they do with the prototypes, but i know some of them arent ever shown to the public, they are just ideas.
    i know someone who works at a place where they make prototypes, and i have obtained one (it has the prototype stamp i described above) and everything about it is absolutley genuine to the point, even the numder hidden on the inside “51904″ but it is a prototype, which resembles annas.
    so it is possible that it is a genuine LV prototype that anna has – ever think of that? if anyone has any more info on prototypes i am very interested, because it’s hard to find info on them online.

    my “LV” “prototype” purse also has the gold LV locks. and on the handles, also. I have never seen one that is like mine, anywhere. NEED INFO ON MULTICOLOR PROTOTYPES FROM 2004

    Dec 2, 2006 4:56AM
  106. k says:

    no way, not with that pleather. you can spot that a mile away. even if it were a prototype bag louis vuitton would never put that cheap fake leather on a bag. i see this same bag all the time, exact colors and everything. these are a dime a dozen. maybe anna’s just practical and knows that 1500 bucks for a bag is insane!

    If any of you had actually done your research, you would know that this was a staged photograph. This is NOT Anna Kournikiova, but an impersonator hired by a tabloid magazine. This was done by the same photographer and publishing company as the recent Prince Harry scandal, Radar Magazine. They were also the same ones behind the faux Prince William and Harry Moto-Cross photographs passed off to People Magazine as authentic. So of course this is a fake Vuitton bag, they wouldn’t spend that kind of money for a tabloid shot. Also, the shoes are knock-off Chanel 2003 Spring line.

    Anna Kournikova is a regular patron of Louis Vuitton and a spokeswoman for Tag Heuer watches, She would never tote a fake bag. Paris Hilton on the other hand, is all about what she wants, Vuitton didn’t have the style bag in the color that she wanted, so she had one designed for her – So it isn’t quite a fake. Also, to contrary belief, she was making and upwards of 2 million a year prior to her “Sex Tape and Reality Show” – Has everyone forgotten that she has a unblemished name in the fashion industry? Britney Spears is the one shopping in China town.. But we won’t rag on her, She has enough on her plate!

Go to http://www.louisvuitton.com, click on USA, click on Catalog, click on Multicolore Monogram, click on “Discover the Selection” in the bottom right corner. Look at the Speedy 30 purse. Look where the handles “connect” to the purse. YEP! THE LOGO IS PARTIALLY COVERED UP! So is this purse…on the actual website a fake? How DO you tell??
