Hello All,

I wonder if you can help me with my Neverfull MM Damier Ebene.
I bought the bag a week ago from a LV store. The bag has a micro chip and the pouch has a datecode VT1201 which does not make sense, the pouch has the tag Louis Vuitton Paris made in France. Unfortunately I didn't check the date code in the store as I was so focussed on the micro chip and the bag. So could VT be a new factory code or did LV change the date codes before getting rid of them altogether or was T meant to be I??? I live 4 hours from the LV store, I have called the store and the LV customer service without any luck. So if anyone here can help me your help would be much appreciated, thanks

They opened new factories lately, so it can be a new code. The lists online are never official, don't take them seriously.
The pouch and the bag can have different codes, since they are produced separately, so it can happen that one of them is a chip version and the other one is still legacy tech.

Hi there! I just got a preloved alma bb that was authenticated by Entrupy to be 100% genuine, but looking at the date code I'm not sure. The lettering looks red than gold/brown like the tag itself. I'm pretty sure its red, but it *could* possibly be the red canvas colour reflected onto the letters. I've inspected the rest of the bag and the stitches/material seems to be authentic, but then again those superfakes are getting even better...can anyone advise if this date code colour does exist please? Thank you so much...!

Hi there, I'm not sure if there is a post for this, but I am hoping someone can help. I received my purchase from Lv with a date code that is beginning with JG. Has anyone experienced this? I thought there would be no date codes as of March...and in the interior it says made in Spain. However, this lettering code is unfamiliar to me. Thanks.

Hello!
I don’t understand your question, LV bags also can be made in March, they are doing bags the whole year :lol:
You could use the Authenticaton Thread here but please Read rules before :)

Hello. I inherited quite a few bags from my sister and I am having trouble authenticating one of them. I know she had a mix of authentic and replicas as she would decide whether she wanted the real deal based off of the replica. This particular one is the neonoe and she used it all the time, I assumed she purchased it directly from LV and never asked. I work at a resale store and I am used to looking at these purses alll the time, all of the other ones I could figure out no problem. I can add pictures but every single thing lines up to looking like the real deal rather than the replica except for the date code. The date code is SP4170 and I thought she purchased it in 2020 if that helps. I have heard on a very rare occasion that the date code gets misprinted, is this possible? There was also a care booklet inside dated 2020. Any help or guidance would be so helpful.

I’ve also contacted LV to get a list of her purchases so we know what she had but that won’t be for quite a while because of probate etc. My sister loved this bag so much and I am going to keep it either way but I want to take very good care of it and knowing it’s authenticity would help. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

With the new chips in bags now, if you have 2 of the same handbags would you keep the one with the tag or with the chip?
Or no difference? With the tag, it is rather nice to see where made and when.
Thanks

It is confirmed that LV stopped using date codes in favor of microchips. My new slgs do not have date codes what so ever.

No date code in my Graceful PM purchased late May. I also had a small panic attack and came here to find they were discontinued.
