    I found this at my favorite thrift store today! I asked the manager uf he thought it was real, he replied no, but it looks good - $25 if you want to take a chance.
    I did, because I saw the small leather flap inside it with M51127 on it & googling it showed the sa.e style purse.
    But, almost all of them are brown, not white like mine?
    Is this a real Louis Vuitton
    Monogram PM Ellipse Handbag M51127?
    Fingers crossed!
    Thank you for any help
    PS , look at last 2 photos - the metal piece holding the strap is outside on 1 (left) side & inside strap on the right side
    Looking straight down in last photo it is the same in the strap on the other side of purse - but reversed?

    I dont suppose the lock & key are real - it's spelled right - so I can maybe get my $25 back?
    (I guess after finding the Joe Selby painting yesterday this doesn't hurt as bad!)

    None of it is real.

    Fat nope - the suede inside is a big red flag, even to me.

    I'm no expert or even close, but the last I heard they'd never used suede.
