Hello.
I am getting defeated by my hunt for an authentic LV Soft Mini Trunk (M44480). It was in Virgil’s first male collection and they’re rare. I’ve tried to purchase 4, all having fake date codes. I finally found one that seemed to check out based on photos and date code, except the receipt purchase date is 7 months prior. The buyer, who has 400 sales with 5 star reviews, purchased it in London on 1/27/19. However, the date code is SP1199 (indicating 19th week of 2019). So the year is right, but the month is July. I’ve saved and wanted this bag for so long and FINALLY thought I had a legit one - but now this is my concern. It’s starting to feel like it isn’t meant to be and it is bumming me the hell out.
Worst case scenario, I can get my money back. But I am praying this is explainable. Can anyone provide any insight?
Side note: The receipt seems to absolutely check out. Both cashiers listed (a return receipt was included, so 2) can be found on LinkedIn with LV as a former/current job. So, I then began thinking well did they buy a real one but swap out a fake?
Photos, if they help:
Thank you for ANY insight!
