this is the first LV item i have looked at so I'm unsure what to look for, i emailed the seller and asked for a pic of the date code but she said she didn't know where it was and didn't want to damage the purse trying to find it with it being a small item I have a vintage Speedy and the points where the lines meet are perfect just like the ones on the new bags... I think you dodged a bullet
Aside from confusing members and enabling members to make potential bad purchases, or walk away from a good purchase, weighing in here without sufficient brand knowledge can damage a seller's reputation for a very long time, this being the internet and all.
I don't by any means to offend anyone, but I thought this was a site for people who love, own, and hope to buy genuine Louis Vuitton items...and I think that can include more that two people.
Take for instance: This bag, I am attaching in photo below, was posted for authentication on the previously closed thread, it was checked out as authentic, but the stitching was seriously bothering me. So when I was in Louis Vuitton last week I snapped a picture of the authentic bag- attached below
I don't think anyone on here is trying to give out false information or give anyone a bad reputation, everyone is trying to be respectful and above all helpful; I did send these to the individual who made the posting about the bag; she was very thankful. I think the more eyes you have on something from people who actually own these items (for instance my 87 LV speedy is sitting right next to me so I can say whether or not it contains this crossing on all the leather- I know), the better chance you have of figuring out whether the item is genuine or not.
My vintage speedy was made in January of 87 and the lines do NOT cross. Reaffirming your statement.
