DU4078, I think means it was made on the 47th week of the year 2008 in France.
I just got aGraceful from the LV store with a TX datecode. I called LV and the person doesn’t have a specific answer. She just said it is a a new factory and that they were not told about it.
I heard somewhere that TX is a new factory in Texas. It’s funny that the LV rep has no info about it. I am tempted to return my graceful and get another one somewhere where I know specifically where it came from.
If you look back at my most recent post you will see what the TX date code means and that any question about this code has been thoroughly settled already.
Hi everyone! I have just noticed that the date code on my neverfull pochette (which btw doesn't match with that of the bag) starts with LA, which should be the code of a factory in US, even if the pochette is "made in France".
Since I bought my bag directly at LV I am not particularly worried about this inconsistency, however it would be very nice for me to understand how this code should be read. Thank you very much in advance for your time and help! C.

It's normal for the pochette and for the bag to have different date codes.
Is a petit noe with date code AR9001 authentic? The format seems to be off but everything else checks out. What would the manufacturing date for that code? Thanks!
Hi Ladies, gents,
1st time poster here. The bag in question is the Brittany bag which I'm considering purchasing preloved. I've compared the bag & looks like it matches what an authentic bag would look like. All the hardware is correct, canvas lines up, proper feet, etc. My question is in regards to the location of the date code. There was only 1 picture or reference at all on the 16 pgs of the Brittany thread & I can't find the answer to my question. The bag I'm considering was made, according to the date code, in April of 2017. The date code is in the zipped pocket, not in one of the slip pockets. Does LV always sew the date codes in the same location? The bag was made in France with the code SR1167. There really isn't much out there on this particular bag.
Thank you kindly.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I just received a peek over GM cosmetics pouch in Damien Ebene. I checked for the date code and it seems like it’s one letter and four numbers. Should I be concerned that it’s not two letters?? It reads S4172.

Did you get it authenticated? That is not a valid date code....
I didn't get it authenticated before I bought it and now I think it's too late for me to get it authenticated if it's not part of a live auction? I'll try my luck there though; I'll be so bummed to have gotten a fake for the price I paid!
