Hi Guys,
is there someone among you who knows the meaning of the serial numbers in Burberry bags? Does each bag have one? (I did not fid it in or on my Manor bag). As far as I know the first two letters indicate where the bag was made - about the rest I am not sure.
Are there any faked serial numbers and what do they look like?

Thanks a lot,
Regina

the serial number on the manor should be in the internal zippered pocket, on a tag attached to the material.
unfortunately I don't know a lot about serial numbers, they have changed a lot through years and aren't standards as LV or chanel

I found it in the Manor, it is not inside the internal zipper pocket but engraved on the backside of the "made in Italy" label. It is hardly readable, though but I can decipher the letters "IT" for made in Italy.

Not all have them. My novacheck has one a tab on the side with the 'made in' on the other side. But my cognac satchel doesn't have a number at all, only the 'Burberry London' and 'Made in' tab. Don't know why some have it and some don't, the SA I asked for it couldn't explain either, just that it is so.
Maybe only check bags have them?!

At least the newer Nova Check bags have them and also the Manor bags. The numbers in my Nova Check bags are identical although one is a crossbody and the other a tote.
The serial number in the Nova Check bags is CNPANSIM1PAN and in the large Manor ITTIVGRO58CAL; so that's CN for China and IT for Italy - but about the rest I don't know. Maybe it's the factory and the production date?

Regina, just wondering how u found the serial number on the back of the "MADE IN ITALY" tag in the Manor bag... I am looking for mine and I can't see any serial number in the bag at all. It's driving me nuts cause now I'm wondering if my bag is fake!! My MADE IN ITALY tag is sewn on the bag and i can't see the flip side at all - how did u find the number? did you remove the tag from the bag?

HEY!!! LOOK AT THE POCKET IN THE BAG??? I FOUND MINE IN THERE!
Inside of the biggest pocket!!!!

I am looking at what has all the markings of an authentic Burberry tote on ebay. The owner says she bought it about 2 years ago. It has the same serial number as Regina's bag ITTIVGRO58CAL. I wonder about that. Is that normal?

Hi, I have a burberry tote with that identical serial # is it normal for the same code of letters to be in more than 1 bag?

Yes, unfortunately you can have the same serial number for legit and fake bags. That's the confusing part. So, it's not like you can just say since there's a serial number on my bag, it is real. I don't understand why serial numbers aren't unique to the individual item/bag.

One more thing, usually the same family of products (Nova Check, Haymarket Check, etc have the same serial number between them. Thus, each family of products should have matching serial numbers. Yet again you still have to aware of the fact that there are some very good fakes out there that "mimic" these well known serial numbers.
