sorry, here it shows that you answered willow and the 1854 question. but you are right, old items before the 80's don't have one, and soon no item will have any.

Hello! i hope someone can help me this. I am trying to buy this bag that i attached the photo to the thread; but what i found odd was the date code and how it is attached. Can someone please help me verify if it's authentic. Btw it is a milla pochette mm from the murakami collection back in the 2000's. Are date codes like that? ive never seen one like that..

i searched the code and it came up 28th week of 2014 in france, but i aint no authenticator.. gl
I for one, will certainly miss those "date codes". I will have no way of remembering when I will buy future bags except sorting thru all the vast piles of receipts....
We don't and also are not allowed to authenticate here. Especially with so little info. A date code means very very little.
Yes, you are reading it right. But the formula we fans know is far from accurate. Just this week I read from 2 ladies on the forum, who both bought from the store, that one bag of theirs was 2 weeks 'from the future', and the other was 25 years off.
Is that new? I thought it was standard: 2 letters followed by 4 digits. The letters represent the factory location. The first and third numbers represent the week of the year, and the second and forth numbers represent the year.
Is that only for older bags?

It was known to be like this but there have been irregularities because they probably count weeks different and I've had a week in advance shown too! Either way from March on they have replaced datecodes with chips so let's see how that turns out for buyers
