LV date stamp question

[Gem0521]

Can someone please explain to me how to read the date stamp on the LV bags? Also I own the florentine...can't find the date stamp...I got it at the LV boutique...must be authentic right?!

Hi welcome,

the date code is printed near the corner seam..look very closely because it's very fine.
To read: 2 letters are to indicate the factory , the first number and the third number are indicate the month of the bag was born, the second and fourth # are for the years it's born. Example:FL 0022: France factory born in feb 2002

FL: The short name/location for the LV factory..Like the one made in USA use SD = San Dimas in California.

In this case FL= made in France factory..I don't know the exact location..anyone???
