Nowadays, Louis Vuitton adds data chips to its items to make it easier to check authenticity, for repairs and to check the date the item was manufactured. Sometimes items have neither a date code nor a chip, this can be due to various reasons: sometimes it happens with older items (mainly those with alcantara linings) that the date code is faded away, with them sometimes being completely gone. Louis Vuitton had started adding date codes to items from 1982, but recently they stopped doing so. No, not every Louis Vuitton item has a data code. However, it is still an important factor and you should always check if the country code of the date code matches the :“made-in” stamp, inside of the bag (if this is not the case, the item is definitely fake.) Authentic Louis Vuitton items always have a date code set in a font specific to Louis Vuitton.ĭo all Louis Vuitton items have date codes? Unfortunately, the code is no guarantee that the bag is real since a lot of counterfeit items have a (fake) date code as well. Checking the date code in a Louis Vuitton item can help with the authentication. This code isn’t unique to an item, it’s rather used to recognize the manufacturing date and place of the item.

Instead of serial numbers to identify items, Louis Vuitton uses date codes. A great question, since all of our items are vintage and some of them have a quite some history! Luckily we are most of the time able to tell you when and where a Louis Vuitton bag was made thanks to the so called “date code”.
