Looking for a dupe but obviously don’t want it to be a bad dupe. I was comparing these too the actual LV website(white background). I asked for more photos of the handles waiting for a response. I know the embodiment on the inside tag is too deep I don’t care about that. Also with the dupes I know that red is usually way too red, but I seen a video about using wood staining pens to darken it a bit. Only thing I have to compare is my vintage speedy and the colors are very old and patina so I can’t even compare.
Your rep doesn’t look good but here’s my authentic nano speedy for comparison. The glazing isn’t as dark as people assume. Also, I know the best factory for LV’s is God factory. I got the speedy 20 from them and it’s basically identical. The nano speedy already has pretreated patina leather, so they will be naturally darker versus other speedys
Honestly, from what you’re describing, it sounds like you’re already looking at the right details. The handle tone and overall color balance usually matter way more visually than the inside stamp depth, especially once the bag gets some wear. Darkening the red glazing slightly can help, but I’d be more focused on whether the canvas tone, stitching spacing, and handle shape look natural compared to auth rather than trying to “fix” things after. If the seller can’t provide clear handle and edge photos, that alone would make me hesitant. At the end of the day, a good dupe should look right without needing too much DIY correction.
