this is quite a long story/comment but i really was heart broken especially to be told my authentic louis was a fake by a louis vuitton store. i'm going to complain....should i?
i'm never actually lost a bag or anything but my class mates did steal my very first piece of louis (a wee cute pochette accessoires) which i saved for with all my pocket money. i was only about 14 or 15 years old at the time, so it was my pride and joy. i started crying in the middle of class and i told them i was going to take them to court for stealing it after an hour they finally gave me it back.it was in somebody's smelly school bag.
i also have a theda bag in monogram multicolour white. i always wanted a white bag and my parents finally gave in and bought me one from louis vuitton in manchester a few christmases ago.i also cried when i recieved it on christmas morning i was so happy. when i first took it out shopping with me i lost one of the louis vuitton studs which connects the handles to the bag.i was so sad and i didn't tell my parents to recently as i didn't want them to be mad. i finally told my parents and i enquired at a lv store to ask if they could fix it they said yes just bring it to the nearest store and they'll fix it.my dad travels quite often to manchester to watch manchester united and he took it back to louis vuitton in manchester earlier this week. the man in lv manchester couldn't find a serial number or date code and told my dad it was a fake because my dad didn't have any documents with him to prove it was real. my dad was very angry at this as he knew he had bought it from the store. my dad brought it back home so i started searching the net to prove the man at louis vuitton was wrong. after 5 hours searching on the net and finding this amazing website i found the serial number of my theda which is VI0018. i was so happy. so my baby louis theda is going back to manchester with a letter of complaint. could anyone tell me where and when my bag was made?
this website is amazing and thanks to everyone who helped me find the code.
Are you sure that's the correct date code?
