It is stitched on very evenly and real leather, as is all the trim and the handle very well made leather wrapped. I've always been told that knock-offs are never stitched but glued on with fake stitching and the thread will be cheap nylon. Also been informed the fittings on a fake are not ever real brass. The fittings on this case are all pure brass and the monogrammed canvas is all uniformly aligned. I don't see where you see anything blatant about it. I own several Louis Vuittons and the case is just as well made if not higher quality than my newer purses. I have submitted it to a well-respected, high-end vintage designer retailer for a quote and am expecting one back within 1-2 business days.
I appreciate all the responses. Thank you, you have all been very helpful to me being a newbie to this site.
