On authentic Louis Vuitton items, the country indicated on the “Made in” stamp should match the country by the two letter factory code (see the list of factory codes in the table later in the blog post). Very often, counterfeiters don’t care what letters and numbers to put on their date codes. Try to match the date code with the “Made in” stamp. However, there is one sure sign that can help you identify a fake. So, the fact that the item does have a date code on it doesn’t verify that it is authentic.
Unfortunately, counterfeiters have learnt to stamp date codes on their fakes. However, when it comes to verifying authenticity of a Louis Vuitton item, date codes are just one piece of the puzzle. They can also help to tell whether the piece is authentic or not. Date codes tell you the history of the item. Why should we care about Louis Vuitton dates codes in the first place? Well, the thing is that date codes can be particularly helpful if you are considering to purchase a vintage or pre-loved Louis Vuitton anything. Letters refer to the country in which the item was made and numbers correspond with the month and year of item’s manufacturing. Date codes on older bags feature just numbers, while on newer items, date codes consist of both letters and numbers. The date code system has changed several times throughout the years. Louis Vuitton has included dates codes with most of their items since the early 1980’s. Media Credit: Instagram start with a bit of history.
