Authenticating 2003 Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom Papillon

The Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom Monogram Canvas is a limited edition collection from 2003. The Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami wanted to give some freshness & cheerfulness to the iconic monogram pattern and that was when the Cherry Blossom Monogram Line was created. Together with Marc Jacobs, this popular collection became a huge success!
Authenticating tips:
1) This bag comes in 3 colors, they were produced in 2003 so the date code should end with the number 3. Also I believe they stopped making the bag in the summer of 2003 so be sure to research the numbers on your bag's date code.
2) The eyes are slanted on the faces
3) Verify the LVs are in the correct position on the bag.
4) Count the number of rivets on the handles and the flap opening.
5) Compare your bag with photos from sites like Fashionphile and RealReal.
