Scroll down the page and "report this item".

Don't worry, it'll be removed if we all report it.

ETA: Just posted it in "report this LV".

1- Don't bid until you get close ups of the LV heatstamps on the side and top of strap and date code. It's not looking good right now and I don't think Noe was part of the Centennaire collection.

I've seen someone else with a bag like this that stated that it was custom made.. which it could be but not before 1996 as LV did not reintroduce the Damier fabric back into its line until then. If a bag has a date before 1996 it cannot be authenticate.

No, it doesn't have to be. There are two versions of Mezzo's, one with the 3 pieces (one main one and the two sides) and one with one full piece. Both types are authentic, it's just a variation that occurs with this bag.

But I thought the variation occured with production years and not just randomly.

No, it doesn't. It just depends on who made it and where it was made, not the year it was made. There are quite a few variations like this; off the top of my head, I can think of zippered vs. patch pockets in Mezzos/Pianos and vertical stitching on either side of the vachetta leather trim around the outer zippered pocket vs. no stitching on that area.
I got my Mezzo in 06 and it has this same stitching pattern as the one mettals was asking about.

Looks OK so far but would like to see a close up of the date code. (which the seller already replied that it's hard to capture). Pay safe if you win.

You're welcome! As for the Brentwood, need close ups of the LV heatstamp and date code.

Then the information I had been given about this line is incorrect. I have in my notes that after 03 the bottoms were solid. I'll correct that - guess I've turned down items that might have been a good deal.._________________
