LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

Update: I called the LV customer service number and they told me they have taken date codes out of some items due to counterfeiting. I bought two other brand new LV bags this year and they had the codes in them.
 
I just got my brand new Palm Springs Mini. I am assuming it is made in USA because it has the Louis Vuitton Paris leather tag inside.

I don’t see a date code or a made in tag. Please help!
I got mine and it’s sewn into the seam of the bag near the bottom. One side had made in US and the other the date code. I bought mine in November so strange yours doesn’t have it. The date code I’ve heard can be located in the pocket too.

Does seem strange to me! My husband and I both thoroughly went through the bag with a flashlight. Prompted me to call them to check. Seems authentic!

hi ya'll ! would love to get your opinion on this PSM ! i went into the store already having a list of "things to look out for" after reading this thread and checked all those things. my CA and i went through about 10 PSMs in the store (ranging from made in france, spain and USA). this one was a made in france and coincidentally also had the best alignment from what we could find. the only thing that's bothering me (and I KNOW its a very very minuscule problem) is the black tab at the front.. its EVER SO SLIGHTLY printed/stamped at an angle (you can tell by comparing it to the shadowing from the lip of the zipper on the front pocket).. but everything else about the bag is nearly perfect. do you all think this is as good as its going to get ? or hold off for my CA to try to find another ? let me know !! thank you in advance !!

If it doesn’t bother you so much then it’s a keeper.
Btw you’re very lucky you can compare 10 bags all at once to find the nearly perfect one.
