Vuitton's scheme for arranging the elements is always the same
Vertically we will find: a row of full Fleur de Lis alternating with a row with the LV and the empty Fleur de Lis . Another row of full Fleur de Lis and finally a row of empty Fleur de Lis and the circled flower .
• Horizontal rows are identical to vertical ones both in design and sequence order.
• The oblique rows are arranged as follows: Fleur de Lis , LV , Circled Flower and again Fleur de Lis . Second row: Fleur de Lis and Empty Fleur de Lis
The result is a true combination of repeating elements in which all the components, in addition to being mirrored, are also arranged in such a way as to appear aligned and perfect.
Added to this is the distinctive LV initials in the logo, which are crucial for determining whether the bag is genuine or fake. The letters are always intertwined, with the V above the L. If they aren't intertwined, the Louis Vuitton bag you're buying is fake.
