I also got a Speedy B 25 directly from the LV website with a LA date code and a MIF stamp. I hope the other code checkers update soon.
Does anyone know ML stand for which country? My new PSM code is ML1290, bought from LV boutique for sure. Just curious ML code. Thanks.
It should be from France! I just picked up my PSM from the LV store and mine has ML on the date code as well. I had to ask my SA since I haven’t seen this factory code before.
i have just recieved LV Bondou made in France but the serial number is LA4198. Are you guys knows that bag is authentic or no? because i missed some references. thank you
Just bought a PSM from my local LV boutique - date code was ML4200. My SA also said ML is a new factory code for France
Hi everyone, I'm very new to TPF but have been stalking threads for YEARS. I finally decided to create an account because i wanted to know what others think of my recent experience.
So I went to the boutique on Friday 15 Jan to look at some wallets but I eventually got nothing because I felt that that batch I was looking at didnt seem up to scratch (QC issues imho). Anyway long story short, I ended up buying a Neverfull MM Damier Azur w Rose Ballerine lining.
I was very excited when I got home (as all of us would be after bringing a new LV baby home) so I was curious when my baby was made as I have been waiting for the NF Damier Azur MM to be in stock for a long time. To my shock, the date code read AR0241 which means it was made 4th week of 2021?! Which is like 2 weeks from now?? The accompanying pochette was MM sth.
So I texted one of my SAs working in the same store first thing in the morn today on 16 Jan and she said she has never encountered sth like this b4. So I brought it back to the store today and another SA whom I am familiar with attended to me. He said the date code didnt make sense to them so they checked other bags and according to him LV changed their date code logic to counter bags made by counterfeiters? I don't know how that logic works but anyway... Then I asked him if it is normal for the pochette to have a different date code from the tote? He looked at the pochette and said 'wow this date code doesn't make sense too'. Eventually I told him I'm uncomfortable accepting the bag and requested for him to order a new piece for me direct from France.
So I really don't know what on earth happened? Has anyone encountered sth similar? Or is it true that LV is changing the date code logic? I really don't know because I bought another LV baby in December 2020 from that same store and that date code made sense.
Look forward to all of your comments. Thanks!!
