Louis Vuitton discontinued date codes in April 2021, although RFID chips can be found in bags dating back to 2019. Earlier this year, Louis Vuitton switched date codes for microchips to keep up with other high fashion brands like Salvatore Ferragamo and Fendi, to name a few. These Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips are much easier to authenticate because each brand simply needs to scan the barcode rather than research the date code for the item. If you’ve bought a Louis Vuitton item produced after the 1st March 2021, the item will likely have an RFID tag inside of it. However, these microchips are tiny, they’re small in size and thin as paper, they are also often placed under the lining of the bag and therefore cannot be seen.
Where can I find the code of LV V Tote MM as the textile inside is black and hard t find? So if you can the direct me where to look please 🙏🙏🙏. Many thanks in advance.
I have a Pont Neuf I bought in Japan (which has really strict laws against counterfeiting). I cannot find the date code, but not sure where to look. would love some direction, thank you!
You site helps decifer what the code says example SP1018 it says is France 11th week of 2008 , which ok great, but what do I do with france 11th week 2008? Is there a next step?? Just because I've been told how to read the code, does not tell me what to do with the information? Is there a chart or a catalog that says whether or not this bag was made in france the 11th week of 2008? I feel like I've missed something or the whole idea of these serial numbers is a joke?
I also want to buy a second hand bag. I checked the code for authentification. - all good. But when checking on google, I found the same model with the identical code several times. (About 20 times) could that be possible?
Sorry for the delay Karine. Yes the codes are not unique to the bags they just tell you where it was made, week and month so bags can have the same codes. Use the date code checker on our website to see what yours means.
I purchased the On the Go, MM size in LV store in Rome, Italy recently. There is no Date Code. The Louis Vuitton store manager said LV doesnt make the date code anymore. Now its by a cheap. The store has the Mobile App to find the code. There was a bar code in side of my bag. Is that true?
Please help me my friend wnt to sell her bag to me but the code is M41526 embossed inside the bag. I check its the model type not the date code. Is she selling fake to me?
Hi there, I advise using an authentication service, here is a list of good authenticators for you: www.handbagholic.co.uk/the-best-handbag-authentication-services/
Hi, how about a vintage petite noe? Read that the noe was first made on 1932. Would that mean that not all petite noe have date codes? 'Cause most of the ones I have seen have it. Need help with this ☺️ thanks!
Hi Chalitra, of course. I was thinking of doing this actually. For now I have one video featuring the MM which goes through what fits inside: ua-cam.com/video/RXTGNJQprh0/v-deo.html
Hello, I have both On The Go Tote GM in the brown and the Escale Pastel and for the life of me, I cannot find the date codes on both bags. Can you please tell me where I can find them? I’m a bit concerned, but when I called Louis Vuitton I was informed that not all bags will have a date code. Is that true? I wasn’t sure if the person I talked to knew for a fact. Thank you!
My codes are inside the zipper compartment down one of the sides on a leather tab, sometimes they don’t but that’s quite rare. New bags now feature electronic chips
They're on the leather tabs inside. However, if yours is new you might want to check out this video I did on microchips: ua-cam.com/video/obS49eRuGoY/v-deo.html

I just bought pochette metis and there is ko date code. I called Louis vuitton and they said they no longer put date code in their bags, and that they have a different technology to "scan" to know If they bag is authentic. Is this correct?

Hi Adelina, not really no. Some people prefer made in France as they say the quality is sometimes better, but that's not always the case. The country should match the 'made in' stamp however. I hope that helps, Steph
