Authentic Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes date code guide

LOUIS VUITTON DATE CODE GUIDE
Louis Vuitton date codes or authenticity codes began appearing after the 1980's. Vintage Louis Vuitton manufactures prior to 1980 would not have any date codes, and can only be verified as authentic by looking at various factors: evaluating when the style was introduced, looking at the exterior leather, inspecting the lining/stitches etc..
Below is the table of the date codes used by Louis Vuitton on their products, which can be interpreted according to

1. 1. Date the product was manufactured
2. 2. Location of the manufactured product

Other methods of determining the authenticity of the Louis Vuitton product will be where the code is located for that particular item and the apperance of the code. For example, they can appear either on:

• - separate leather tab that stick out of the inner lining with the code embedded
• - directly embossed on the inner lining and close to the inside seam of the product
• - directly embossed on the under side of the D-ring (typical of Speedy)
• - directly embossed on Alcantara lining (suede material on inside of Epi leather bags)
• - stamped on the inside lining close of the seam of canvas leather lined bags (usually in an offset dark color)

Note: Fake bag manufacturers are getting better at replicating the authentic products so it is important to always evaluate the exterior, interior, grommets, hardware, lining etc.. as date codes can be easily replicated. However, fake bag manufacturers do not focus on quality made products and easily forget to include specific details as they typically mass produce their items.

Date Code	Description
Early 80's	3 or 4 digit date codes, representing the month and year that the product was manfuctured.
Late 80's	3 or 4 digit date codes (as above) followed by two letters representing the location that the product was manufactured.
1990-2006	First two letters represent the location that the product was manufactures. Followed by four numbers: - First / Third number = Month - Second / Fourth number = Year
2007-onwards	First two letters represent location Followed by four numbers: - First / Third number = Week - Second / Fourth number = Year

Vancouver trusted professional consignment service

Think about Sotheby’s or Christies, the two most famous and prestigious auction houses in the world. Think about what they do, the service they provide to their valued customers.

The answer is simple in that they are the trusted professionals wealthy people turn to when they want to sell their most valuable and treasured possessions.

I provides the same service for  my customers at Once Again, but instead of dealing in Van Gogh, Renoir and Picasso I deal with designer consignment from Chanel, Hermés and Cartiér to name but a few.

Consignment is often mistaken as a term that describes second-hand or used, when in fact it is simply the description of a financial transaction between two parties.

People consign their art and other valuables to Sotheby’s or Christies for auction, just in the same way people consign their

 high-end fashion and jewelry pieces to Once Again for resale.
