III. Louis Vuitton does not wholesale.

The first item we will be looking at concerns the stitch lines in the Damier checker pattern. Generally you should expect between 4 and 5 stitches per square block.

Stitches per box in a Louis Vuitton Damier Keepall

Note: Notice that stitch line (A) and stitch line (B) both have the same number of stitches per box, and that the number of stitches per box never exceeds 5. This appears to be constant throughout the handbag. [We were hoping to detect a pattern concerning the variance in the range of 4-5 per box, but from this particular study we couldn't identify one.] Nevertheless, the stitch per box does appear to have an identifiable cap, and that ceiling appears to be 5 stitches.

Damier (keepall) stitches per Box test

SpB_pass → 4 ≤ SpB < 5

*SpB = Stitches per box
*SpB_pass = Stitches per box passes

Note: The consistency of the stitches per box for stitch lines A and B is worthy of noting. The boxes directly above and below each other appear to contain the same amount of stitches. How consistent this remains across all Damier handbags is unknown at the moment. But it is certainly worth noting along with the SpB test.

In this next section we will be taking a look at the squares themselves. The label (and the font) stamped within them as well as the number of detailed rows within them.

Below is an image of an Louis Vuitton label within a Damier box:

Note:The image (left) illustrates what the logo that you will find inside the square should look like: (Top) Louis, (middle) Vuitton, (bottom) Paris. Also note the symmetry of the three impressions. The logo should fit evenly within the box, the individual words should all be even relative to each other. We also underlined the [LO], as the width of the (L) and the width of the (O) conform to our [LV] Lotus test.

The second issue concerning the Damier pattern box is the pattern itself. Within the box is a series of dashes, one layer is a brown is color and the other layer is cream or yellowish.

Below is an image of the bi-layered pattern within the Damier box (Keepall):

Note: The image (left) displays the row by row breakdown of the cream colored pattern. The outer row is 6ax10c, and the inner row is 5bx9d. The sum of cream line pattern dashes should be 105 (keepall). [every full bi-layered square should display 105 cream dashes].

The Damier checker boxes should also remain consistent even when separated by a leather fixture or different sections of the bag.

Image (below) of a pattern separated by leather:

Note: The image (left) displays the continuation of the Louis Vuitton pattern through the leather strip divider. Here we see that whatever color (cream or brown) that the row ends with, the row begins again with that same color square. This is consistent with overall Louis Vuitton pattern symmetry that is found universally on their handbags, wallet, belts etc.

Note: Also notice the stitch lines on the leather strip itself. Namely, quality, order and direction. The stitches are all of equal length and in both stitch lines the stitches are shifted in the same direction. In the image (above) the tops of all stitches (both right row and left row) are shifted left and the stitch bottoms are further right.
