Spain? :O I know they outsource jobs and manufacture products out of France but my question are all the bags of one kind made in one place? Just like my wallet it's made in spain. Does that mean ALL 6CC Damier wallets are made in Spain or it's just that one? Should I be picky and get one in France? Is there a quality difference? lol maybe I'm thinking too much

anyone care to enlighten me?

Each style of LV can come from different places(USA, France, or Spain) - all are authentic. There are differing opinions re quality - if you do a search, you'll find them.

itsonly4me · Sep 30th, 2008, 04:44 PM

I think they are all the same quality

itsonly4me · Sep 30th, 2008, 04:44 PM

I actually prefer the made in USA ones, they are the least counterfeited too!

LVMH · Sep 30th, 2008, 04:45 PM

Louis Vuitton has the same excellent quality on all their products, no matter if its made in spain or france, nor USA. Its Vuitton, baby :)

My Vernis pieces are also made in Spain, as well. At least my Amarante agenda. I honestly don't mind if it's made there, as long as it's not in China, Vietnam, etc.

France is the best my SA said

xgrl · Sep 30th, 2008, 05:07 PM

OOo... is France really the best? I guess it does make sense since its where LV originated from.

Honestly I would prefer my bags to be from France. Does anyone specifically ask for a bag from France, USA, SPain, etc....?

Are you from Asia? If you are, the fact is asians only buy Louis Vuitton made in France. I know this for a fact, because I used to work in Louis Vuitton when I was younger, and while I took my degrees.

I agree. my first mono speedy is made in USA and is perfect! next i got a wallet made in spain and its starting to disattach (the part where it has vernis), then i got a monty made in france and has a little defect on a thread, then i got a neverfull made in france and they had to get me like 5 so i choose the one with less imperfection :S, then i got a speedy damier make in france and its ok...then i got a little scarf made in italy and has long threads as well, then my galliera from france it's perfect.... (sorry for the long post) put personally i find more imperfections in the made in france ones, maybe bcos they know people want them more and make bigger quantities without checking them properly...i dont know if it's this:s but this really bothers me a lot, everytime i wanna buy something i have to check it 10 times :S its sad for the price u r paying...

I personally don't care where it's made as long as the quality is top notch. But LV has been having some QC problems lately and I've had problems with items made in all countries.

Label Addict · Sep 30th, 2008, 06:40 PM

It can depend on the item and where you live, LV tends to make things in places where the skills are more specialised for those materials that's why you'll find more Vernis from Spain than France and most fabrics such as scarves and bags made from fabrics are often made in Italy.
If you are in the US you'll find a lot of the bigger pieces and wallets with many CC slots are made in the US as there is more demand for those products there. They make in the US so they can get them to stores quicker but you're unlikely to find a made in the US piece in Europe.

LV has quality control so all should be of the same standard but different people have different standards and what one person see's as a fault another doesn't.

efleon · Sep 30th, 2008, 06:46 PM

I used to have a thing about having my bags all be made in France. It is a French company after all. Then I bought a Trevi and it had quality problems with the zipper. It was made in France. I exchanged it for another made in France and it had the same problem. Then I brought it back and got one made in the good ole USA and it is PERFECTION!!! Now I dont care where they are made, I just look at the individual bag. BTW, most small leather goods are made in Spain.
