it's authentic. wow, who would have thought. congrats on finding a rarity. My compact zip cerises wallet was made in spain, but all of my other cerises pieces were made in france.
My Cerises pochette is made in France, cerises cles made in Spain; both have the same date code (January '05) except for the location letters obviously (VI vs. SP). You don't have anything to worry about--Cerises pieces were made in both France and Spain. It's more common to find the small leather goods made in Spain, but it's not surprising to find pochettes that were made in Spain as well. You were very lucky to find one new in an LV store, that's for sure!
