Workshop Recap: LegitApp x Boutir in Hong Kong
How Beginners Learned Louis Vuitton Authentication in 30 Minutes
Can a room of complete beginners really learn to authenticate a Louis Vuitton bag in just half an hour? At the AuthClass workshop, the answer was a resounding yes.
On September 19, 2025, LegitApp partnered with Boutir to host an interactive workshop in Hong Kong. The session welcomed shop owners, resellers, sourcing experts, and even casual luxury buyers for an afternoon of hands-on learning and networking.
The “Wow Moment” in Authentication
Leading the session was Sophie, Head of AuthClass, who introduced the universal rules for hardware authentication. These rules are’t limited to Louis Vuitton — they can be applied across most luxury brands, including Chanel, Gucci, and Hermès.
Attendees were surprised by just how accessible authentication can be. Many had their own “Wow Moment” when they realized that with the right guidance, anyone can learn to evaluate hardware details and spot red flags.
The highlight came when participants used the LegitApp 200x microscope to compare an authentic and counterfeit LV Speedy Nano. Despite having zero prior authentication experience, attendees confidently identified the fake - proof that authentication is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and applied quickly.
LegitApp Behind the Scenes
The session also gave attendees a peek behind the scenes at LegitApp — the world’s leading authentication solution. Sophie showed how we combine expert authenticators with AI technology to deliver results that achieve a 99.99% proven accuracy rate.
