No, you do not have a fake! My petit Noe is from 89 and I (sadly) do not have a d-ring either! Oh, well...I love her just the same! :lol:
Hi, do you have a date stamp on your '89 petit Noe? I can't find a date stamp and my Noe doesn't have a d-ring either. I also noticed that some of the holes that the cinch cord threads through are placed slightly on the "LV", which I heard was a no-no for real LV bags. So, I thought my bag was a fake. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hi, please post in the Authenticate This LV thread
 
In authentication thread I only can post bags with links (ebay etc), and my photo is real photo taken by me, a bag of my friend, and I have never seen a tag like this, because all my LV bags are old, and I don’t know maybe new bags has rounded tags like this. This is my question

Today I received a monogram Speedy 25 that I ordered online. I had been stalking this bag for months and it's been "call for availability" so when I saw it available I jumped on it. About half the bags I've bought online in the past are made in France, and half in the USA. The leather tab on the Speedy says "LOUIS VUITTON PARIS" and the date code is SD2148, which I think means it was made in USA...however I can't find the "made in USA" tag inside the bag anywhere? My DE Speedy was made in USA and has the cloth tag inside. My DA Speedy was made in France and says "LOUIS VUITTON MADE IN FRANCE" on the leather tab. Some of my made in USA bags have cloth tags, some of the more recent ones have leather tags, but all of them pretty much have a tag except for this one. I'm confused? Have they stopped putting those tags in the bags now?

Hi! I am new here, so hopefully I do this all right :smile: I received my new Pochette Metis Monogram shipped from a store today and it is Made in France. My sister also has this bag, Made in the US. and we were comparing :smile: I noticed the date code on mine was sewn in date "facing" the back of the outer pocket ( you have to flip it over to read it).....and hers, made in USA, the date code is sewn right side up...so when you look down into the back pocket to find it, you can see the code, not have to flip it over to read it (if that makes sense). Was this just sewn in wrong or is this just how different factories do things? Just curious why it was like that (both bags made late March 2018) LOVE the bag and it is perfect! Thank you!!!
 
opps sorry im new here tryning to figure out how to reply. but my PM is made in the US and the stamp is like your sisters. I do not think it was a mishap. My bag was purchased from a cosignment seller who purchased it brand new from the saks.
