Hello :)
I'm considering buying a Pochette Metis (monogram), are you aware about the delays to get one? I called LV this friday and they told me I could get one before October but it seems to be a hard one to get so I'm not sure I can trust them haha

No, afraid not...it really depends where you are. Next to impossible to get a mono or reverse in Europe but empreinte are easy to find. However in the US it seems "easier" to find a mono but then it'll cost more than in euro.

The PM thread has good info. It seems getting on waiting list in store and on the LV phone line is the best approach. If you can shop online that's another option.

And thanks for your kind comment on my collection :) PM in empreinte is my next purchase too!

I'll check this thread, thanks !

Unfortunately, I live in France..How ironic, haha.
I called twice and I feel like it also depends on the sales assistant you get! The second one was really keen to help me. I'll go check at my LV store, thanks for the tips!

The empreinte is nice too! Which color are you going to chose?

Need your help.
Did the Louis Vuitton dustbags always Look like they do now ?
I saw some beige beige ones with just „lv“ are they fake? Or User lv These dust bags? If so does anyone know which year they changed the design?

There have been several kinds of dustbags through the years. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Vuitton used thicker dustbags with only “LV” printed on the fabric. Then, around 2004, the company switched to a lighter cotton dustbag with “Louis Vuitton” printed in brown (that’s also when they started using the dark brown boxes instead of the light brown Épi-style Boxes). Once more, they switched packaging in 2016. The dustbags look similar but the name is printed in blue instead of brown.

There are about several different types from my experience, the oldest ones I had LV log on dark yellow felt like; newer brown Louis Vuitton log on tan cream etc there are some slight difference after middle 2000 to early 2016, light beige with dark almost black Louis Vuitton logo from early 2016 (some still gets now of the older version) to present, and some dust bags specially made for more expensive bags they are thick and different feel inside, heavier, drawstring, dark brown or light beige. To my surprise I have seen newest superfake dust bags, they look same to authentic ones if you don't have experience with authentic ones and even have tags in them too! So the best way to buy any Louis Vuitton even dust bag, you better to buy them from reputable sellers or simply buy from the stores.

Thank you so much for all the Info !!

My Intention was that i will buy a bag from a Second Hand Shop and the Condition seems really good like New they say But i noticed that the dustbag is the yellow one with LV and not Louis Vuitton so i was not sure how old the bag really could be. I‘m buying Louis Bags since 2007 and Never had These dustbags But it’s from the Travel Collection so Maybe they get Different ones ?
To be sure i might should check the data code

Sometimes sellers would use whatever the dust bags they have in hand for the bag they sold, so dust bag not necessory indicate how old the bag or whether the bag is authenticate or not.

date code has to look at it to know whether it is authentic or not, there are fake date code same as authentic ones just fonts slightly different or positioned differently etc.

The best is to buy from reputable sellers or buy from the store if you don't know or not sure the authenticity of the item is.
