Authentic Papillon 30 but missing date code? Huh?

[girlycharlie]

I’m organizing my bag closet and putting together a comprehensive list of every bag in my collection (am I the only crazy person who does this ) and the strangest thing happened, I can not find a date code in my Damier Papillon 30 to save my life This was purchased from the Louis Vuitton boutique in Dec. 2005. Am I missing something? Where is it hiding?

it should be there somewhere! my gold pap's date code is on the upper half corner, the opposite side of ext. pocket It might not be stamp on a tag though, mono pap's date code is directly embossed on the canvas itself.

its close to a seam... look close and in the light

cant find one in mine either.. the pap has no inside pocket

 

[Classic Chic]

oh sry, i mean the exterior side pocket. the date code is about 3 inches away from the zipper on mine. The side where the zipper pull is at when the pap is open.

CrazyBagLady, you too Wow

BTW, I'm lusting your Damier Speedy

Undo the zipper all the way,it's on the seam just under the zipper.

Thank you, I just checked again, no date code on the leather tab or near the zipper

OK, this is making me crazy!!! I don't see it In short of pulling the lining away from the fabric, I don't know what else to do
