I ordered an Alma BB a few months ago and I couldn't find the date stamp code either. I assume it's microchipped by now (sounds like a dog or a cat).
News on date codes!

Why? I don't see the point of limiting to customers who purchase directly. A legitimate authentic LV is just that; authentic. It shouldn't matter where or from whom it was purchased. I recently brought my Noe into LV to have the full vachetta replaced and I originally purchased the bag about 3 years ago on eBay. For some reason, they removed the original date code, so it shows nowhere that it's "authentic" other than the brand new vachetta. Even that wouldn't prove its authenticity. But I'm comfortable that LV clearly proved its authenticity by repairing the bag in the first place. Otherwise I know they'd return it to me to let me know it was a fake, therefore refusing to repair.
Hello, I recently purchased 2 bags (nano speedy and nano nice) from lv website. it was made around October 2021 with date codes. does it mean its not authentic
Of course, they just sell fakes now and then. Come on.
I was joking. Even the question that something collected in an actual Vuitton store is authentic or not is beyond funny. You couldn't be serious.
On the serious note: the "nothing after Spring has a datecode" is not a rule for the company. It is generally true though for most bags now, but it is not written in the Bible. There are and will be items that have codes. So no worries, your bags are fine.
For some reason, this just cracked me up so hard. Thank you, I needed a good laugh just now
lol don't know if you don't read around much but there has been instances before where fake products were sold in the actual stores. a simple google search will show cases that happened, its not impossible.

Yep it was on the news a few years back that someone bought a LV bag from the boutique. Later she went back to return it however she was trying to return a FAKE bag. If it wasn't caught it would have been sold to someone I'm sure. Scammers are becoming more scammy!lol don't know if you don't read around much but there has been instances before where fake products were sold in the actual stores. a simple google search will show cases that happened, its not impossible.

I just purchased my nano speedy early January 2022 from the boutique and it was also made in October 2021. Not all bags have microchips. I was told by my SA SLGs don't have microchips. Not sure if our Nanos are considered SLGs but mine is like yours with a date code.
Guys, I bought a Pochette Accessoires in-store back in December and it didn’t have the date code anymore, it’s the new version with the chip. Do you know of the chip contains the information about the manufacturing date and if it can be read somehow? I’m guessing LV employees can but, can they share it with the customer?
Hi, Can someone please tell me where the microchips are in the LV bags? I have bought a new Madeleine MM and for the life of me can't find where it is. 
I'm pretty sure it's not visible as it's behind the lining embedded somewhere. U need an NFC app to scan for it. The info it gives won't mean anything to the consumer.
