Hi!!
I guess the chip has a life span. I have heard from some others resellers that they have found some bags such speedy bandouliere , neverfull without the chip . But I believe only LV that can have the access to the data . My personal experience is that, I have returned Neverfull DE 2021, BNIB fresh from the store . It's just bought like 2 day ago since it is accompanied with the original boutiqe receipt. But when it's being consigned , the chip cannot be detected. Even all the physical traits from all the checking shows that the item is 100 authentic, I still returned it because of the chip issue . one week later, the same client returned with the same Neverfull , but now it can be scanned. I'm not sure if the item is returned and replaced with the other new item (since it's still in guarantee period) or the chip was being reset or else. But the fact that the Chip cannot be detected while we know that it's a new item, I think the chip can be like that. Either has life span or cannot be detected by common NFC tools.
We know that LV makes their product in Chip to stop the resellers. It's our biggest obstacle to convince our buyer that Chip is not the only things that makes the item authentic . Physical traits of the item is also matters.
It's been 3 years since 2021 for all LV product in chip.
I was wondering if there are same issue if the chip cannot be detected after some period of usage .
if yes, it concludes that the chip is not durable .
Please share if you have same experience with your LV chip , maybe we can discuss more...
