Date Code & "Made In" Questions

[Hareh]

I just bought an Alma MM from Vestiaire that was supposed to have been purchased in 2014.

it was verified as real, but I can’t find the date code anywhere in the bag.

Does anyone know where the date code is in this particular bag?

Thank you for your help!

Check along the edge of the inside pocket.

I just bought a Pochette Metis from the LV boutique in New Jersey. The bag says made in France with the date code beginning with SK. When I go to one of those online authenticator sites, it says my bag is fake. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a question: I want to purchase a Louis Vuitton Speedy and the data code says that it is made in the 42th week of 2014 but the date on the receipt is the 31.01.2015. Is it possible that the bag of 2014 was still in store on 31.01. and has the datacode of the last year? Thanks for your help

Hi!
I just bought a Palm Springs mini, the date code is TX3220, it means 32nd week?? But that would mean it’s made this week and it literally arrived at my door today!

This is very possible. I once bought a Delightful GM in 2015 and the production date code was 2014. It had a slight patina, but otherwise was in perfect condition. Sometimes stock sits forgotten and that's why that happens.

I recently purchased my Emilie wallet online from the lv store. It is made in France and the date code is VM2280. I have not come across the date code starring with VM as of yet so I’m wondering if this is a new code coming from France.

I’ve bought the neverfull recently. It is made in France and the date code starts with LU, which I’ve also never seen before. It seems that they started to use new codes. I read that last October LV opened new factory in France, so I think that maybe these new codes are used for items manufactured there, but I don’t know this for sure.

That’s interesting. Maybe that’s the case then.

I bought my OTG GM yesterday which stamped as made in Italy. It started as FP too. I called to Louis Vuitton they said they never post any serial code on their website so they couldn't explained how to figure out with serial code. But I bought it from Louis Vuitton boutigue in Australia. So i can say it is New code for OTG in Italy.

Hello everyone! Newbie here. Has anyone ever seen a date code beginning with the letters FP? It’s on a new OTG bag, made in Italy. Thanks!

I exchanged an OTG GM MIF (because of several tiny dots on canvas) for a new OTG GM MII today in a LV boutique in the US. It says FP3220.

Hi! I’m trying to sell this LV epi card holder and the potential buyer was asking me about the date code, but I can’t find any date code. I bought it at the LV store in Paris, so I know it’s authentic. Is there date code on this LV card holder? If yes, where is it?? TIA!

Where is your date code on your zippy coin purse? Do you have pic of zipper pull?

my date code is inside the inner pockets. But there’s models that have it near the back pocket.

plus the engraving of my zipper pull looks more imbedded and not like just the service layer. Hard to Explain.

Along the inside edge of one of the outside pockets.

I got my ZCP in late 2015. The date code is located inside the middle compartment.

Here is a pic of my zipper pull:

Hope that helps!

I just received my online purchase of a Palm Springs mini made in France but with the code ML 2230 (meaning it was probably only made 2 weeks ago!). My research into the many sites with exhaustive lists of existing country codes do not list this code as a French workshop. It looks very authentic and my instincts are that it probably is a new workshop code but because it is an online purchase I am just afraid it might be a counterfeit return any ideas?

I am glad to have found this comment. I received my palm springs mini last week with date code ML3220 MIF and same as you I wondered if ML is a new factory in France because I could not find it on any list online.
